Ryu (Rave)

Ryu (リュウ, Ryu) is the main protagonist of the Street Fighter series and appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Rave.
He is voiced by Kyle Herbert in English and Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese, both via reused voice clips from Smash 4.
==Attributes==
Ryu is a heavyweight with average mobility albeit having some slow speed to replicate the physics of his home series. He has access to many variations of both of his standard and special attacks, and can also cancel them. He will always face his opponent during a one-on-one match or when there are only two players remaining in a match.
