An innate Ki which Ryu possesses, increases his fighting capabilities and the strength of his ki attacks, can also use the "Shun Goku Satsu/Raging Demon", a technique that brings death to the victim using the weight of their own sins and making them feel pain the more evil they are), Fairly good acrobatics

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Hadouken: An energy based projectile attack that can inflict quite a lot of damage.
**Shakunetsu Hadoken: A Hadoken which is imbued with the power of fire. The user can launch from one to three depending on the strength.
**Denjin Hadouken: A chargeable Hadoken that electrifies the defender, stunning them momentarily.
**Shinku Hadouken: A super-charged Hadoken that, when executed, can hit the opponent multiple times and destroy other projectiles launched by the opponent. It is much more powerful than a normal Hadoken. In the crossover games, the Shinku Hadoken is actually a large beam that resembles the "Kamehameha".
**Metsu Hadoken: Using the energy of the Satsui no Hado, Ryu charges a Hadoken that is likely one of the most powerful variants of the move.
*Shoryuken: A strong jumping uppercut.
**Shin Shoryuken: This move starts by hitting the enemy in the mid-section of the upper body then it follows a strong uppercut to the chin and in end the move finishes with a very strong Shoryuken.
**Metsu Shoryuken: A legendary version of the move seen in the Street Fighter story, when Ryu was near defeat during the first Street Fighter tournament. Lethal version of Shin Shoryuken.
*Tatsumaki Senpukyaku: A powerful spinning kick combo attack while he jumps and is in the air.
**Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku: Ryu performs a stationary Tatsumaki that has a vacuum effect, as its name indicates, and can hit the opponent multiple times.
Note: This profile is not in continuity, either in Street Fighter or Asura's Wrath. It's a completely separate history DLC (Non-Canon to Asura's Wrath game).
