Ryu's basic appearance throughout the series, as shown in Street Fighter II, has him with brown hair, a red headband, a white gi (with the sleeves ripped off at the shoulders) and a black belt.When Ryu first appeared in the original Street Fighter, Ryu still had his gi, but he wore a white headband, had red hair, grey eyes and wore red slippers.In the Street Fighter Alpha series, Ryu now has auburn hair, but still has the white headband, which harkens back to his appearance in the first Street Fighter.Canonically, Ryu would not receive the red headband until after a sparring session with his best friend and rival Ken Masters.It was originally used by Ken as a hairtie during the Alpha series.In Street Fighter III, Ryu now has black hair, brown eyes, and an abundance of facial stubble.Ryu's gi is also tattered and torn on the sleeves and pant ends, indicating years of wear and tear.The tattered appreance of his gi will also be seen in Street Fighter IV, which storywise, is a direct sequel to Street Fighter II and a prequel to III.Ryu also carries around a duffel bag containing important items such as plane tickets, passports, and the currency of the country he is in.Takeda Shingen, a warlord in feudal Japan.Ryu's stage in Street Fighter II.The four words are based on chapter seven of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which dictates how one should conduct battle.He does not care about winning or losing so much as the moment of the fight and the opportunity for spiritual advancement.Ceremonies and materialism hold little endearment for him.Street Fighter
Ryu was an orphaned child, with no knowledge of who his parents were or if they are still alive.When Ryu was a young child, he was adopted by a man named Gouken and began living with him as well as learning the mysterious and dangerous martial art known as Ansatsuken.Gouken would later train his best friend's bratty son, Ken Masters, who served not only as a sparring partner for Ryu, but also to give Ryu some company since Gouken was the only person Ryu had seen in a long time due to the seclusion of Gouken's dojo.Ryu looked up to Gouken as a father figure during his early years and Ken as a best friend and surrogate brother, which is how their relationship remains to this day.When Ryu was about 23 years old, Gouken thought that Ryu was ready to travel the world in order to test his skills against the best fighters in the world.With this, Ryu left Gouken and Ken, and headed to fight in the first World Warrior tournament.Street Fighter
In Street Fighter, Ryu is one of the participants of the World Warrior tournament.After defeating all challengers, his skills earn him the right to fight its host, Sagat.Despite nearly losing against the "Emperor of Muay Thai," Ryu secures a difficult victory, and is crowned champion.Later games elaborate on the final battle between Ryu and Sagat.In this version of the battle, Sagat nearly beats Ryu into unconsciousness.Metsu Shoryuken that not only knocks Sagat unconscious but also marks his chest with a great scar.After regaining consciousness and discovering what had happened, Sagat swears vengeance on Ryu.Street Fighter Alpha
In the Street Fighter Alpha series, Ryu leaves Sagat behind and returns to his home only to find that Gouken, his master and adoptive father, has been murdered.Learning that Akuma had fought and killed his adopted father, Ryu began to travel the world to find this man.He encounters and fights Akuma on a secluded island known as Gokuentou, but Akuma was only testing him.Akuma then uses his fist to smash the island, leaving Ryu stranded.Sometime after escaping the island, Ryu battles Ken and loses.Ken realizes Ryu is not himself and has been deeply troubled since his last victory over Sagat.He gives him his red hairband as a reminder to stay focused, which Ryu was sincerely grateful for.Ryu replies that he himself still has much to learn, but allows Sakura to take a picture of him.Two years later, Ryu continues to be troubled by what Akuma had told him, compounded by his encounter with Rose, who has intricate ties to M.She tells him that he cannot defeat Bison unless he fights him at the cost of his soul.True to form, when Ryu confronts Bison, he is defeated despite putting up a valiant fight.This scene is interrupted by the entrance of Sagat, Ken, and Sakura, each of them having followed Ryu for their own reasons.While Ken and Sakura distract Bison, Sagat challenges the brainwashed Ryu (different versions of this story coexist; in one version, Sagat is offered this battle as an enticement to stay with Shadaloo.Sagat quickly notices the effects Bison's brainwashing have had on Ryu, and, at Sagat's urging, Ryu comes to his senses and helps Ken and Sakura force Bison to retreat.Street Fighter II to III
During the World Warrior tournament, Ryu enters to test his skills, and defeats many of the new warriors.It is unknown how far Ryu progressed through the tournament.Years later, Ryu enters the third World Warrior tournament to further advance his fighting abilities.During the events of "Third Strike", Ryu and Ken have another match in which Ryu emerges the victor.Sometime during these games, he defeats Hugo."The surge of murderous intent awakened in Ryu").He was originally introduced in a Street Fighter Zero manga series authored by Masahiko Nakahira and later adapted in the Street Fighter canon by Capcom.He is the version of Ryu should he succumb to Satsui no Hadou, and depicts Ryu's struggle to resist the urge.Evil Ryu has more powerful attacks than the original, strikes faster and possesses some of the attacks of Akuma (such as the Shun Goku Satsu).The only time Evil Ryu actually appears in Street Fighter canon is at the end of the first World Warrior tournament.According to the Street Fighter Alpha series, Sagat, the defending champion, crushed Ryu, and then extended his hand to help Ryu up after thinking that he had won.Ryu was so consumed with the desire to win that he gave into the Satsui no Hadou ("Evil Intent" in the American version) and executed a Metsu Shoryuken, scarring Sagat's chest and his pride.Since then, Evil Ryu has occasionally appeared in various Capcom games featuring Ryu.Nevertheless, Evil Ryu does not exist as a separate character and is only an alternate, "what if" version of Ryu.Ryuu Ansatsuken up to par with Evil Ryu by Street Fighter III.Like Akuma, Evil Ryu has a signature symbol that appears when he performs the Shun Goku Satsu.Ryu, once again given the last name of Hoshi, is still a con man, as well as Ken, but despite this, he is still dedicated to his training.Street Fighter (film)
In the live action movie adaptation of the games, Ryu, (with the last name of Hoshi) along with Ken, are two con artists who love to take money from rich crime lords through their schemes.This time, however, they unwittingly become entangled in the war to free the country of Shadaloo.Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
In this, Ryu is still a wandering fighter, journeying to various parts of the world to find new challenges.Street Fighter II V
Here, Ryu appears as a 17 year old and is not travelling alone.Popular Culture
Ryu appeared in the Robot Chicken episode "Massage Chair" voiced by Jimmy Kimmel.He appears on Level 3 of the "Office Fighter" segment where his attack forces an office worker named Jim to finish the Marketing Proposal that was due Wednesday even though Ryu doesn't work there.While Ryu and Ken follow the same martial arts discipline, as the Street Fighter series evolved, the differences between the two characters was portrayed by their attacks: Ryu focused on technique while Ken opted for stylish unpredictability.Ryu's normal attacks are slightly slower than Ken's, albeit straightforward.His special moves are more focused; Ryu inflicts damage with individual strikes rather than combinations.His Shoryuken does only one hit, so Ryu can effectively use this move at full power against airborne opponents.Ryu can dodge projectiles at the start of his Shoryuken maneuver and knocks an opponent down with one hit.Ryu's Hadouken in both gauge and concentrate in certain instances.Ryu and Ken's have a comparable duality with Akuma.One is more for personal development (see judo) and the other is more for practical application (see jujutsu).Capcom USA originally referred to Ryu's fighting style as "Shotokan" despite bearing little resemblance to the discipline.Because of this, Ryu and other characters who use similar styles (such as Ken and Akuma) are still called "Shoto clones" or "shotos" by fans.However, as the Ryu character is based on the real life events of Yoshiji Soeno, who was a practitioner of kyokushinkai karate under Masutatsu Oyama, the traditional kyokushinkai techniques can be clearly seen in the character's fighting style, as with Makoto, whose fighting style and techniques are based on shotokan karate.Gameplay
Ryu is the quintessential "basic" character in fighting games with an intuitive array of punches and kicks, and very basic special moves.This simplicity makes Ryu a favorite for beginner and intermediate players.Ryu is available in every single Street Fighter game, allowing players familiar with previous Street Fighter games to begin playing immediately, without having to worry about learning how to use a new character, however, there are a few tweaks in his moveset which vary depending on the game.Techniques
Ryu's techniques are the Hadouken which has become a staple projectile among fighting referred to as the "Fireball", the Shoryuken which is a favorite among many players to use, referred to as a "Dragon Punch" and is an uppercut maneuver that hits once, and the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku or "Hurricane Kick" as most refer it to.In early versions of Street Fighter II, Ryu could only use all attacks on the ground, however in later versions, he is able to perform the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku in the air.Also he has the ability to use a more powerful version of the Hadouken known as the Shakunetsu Hadouken where the Hadouken is a variation of fire and deals more damage.More variations of Ryu's attacks came in the form of his medium punch, kick, and heavy punch moves where holding foward and pressing any of the 2 punch buttons enables different attacks which deals two hits but has a delayed start.In Alpha, the medium kick action performs a weaker version of the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku, which deals less damage but is quicker to perform.In the Street Fighter III series, Ryu gains one new special move called the Joudan Sokutou Geri which is a powerful side kick that shoves opponents away with great force.Super Attacks
Many of Ryu's Super attacks are more powerful versions of his normal moves."Hurricane Kick" that stays in one spot in the air.This was replaced in SF3 with the Denjin Hadouken which is an alternative of the Shinkuu Hadouken, where the player must "charge" the fireball.The longer the move is charged, the more damage, hits and "stun" it deals.Ryu has a unique ability in Marvel vs.Legacy
Given with the name of Ryu's fighting style, any character that contains any two or three of Ryu's basic special attacks are considered "shotos" by fans.Ryu's attacks have been passed on to Ken Masters and Akuma with some alterations to the mechanics, while Dan Hibiki and Sean Matsuda have different styles yet very similar to the originals.In other games, such as Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury, characters such as Ryo Sakazaki and Terry Bogard have similar attributes to the "shoto" style with a projectile (in Terry's case, a ground wave) and Dragon Punch and special kicks which are quite different from Ryu's but have similar properties and in some cases, have the same inputs as Ryu's attacks.Many fighting games in the future have certain characters that operate in this function but always have varying differences to make them stand out from Ryu as well.Byron Mann as Ryu Hoshi in the live action movie (1994).Ryu is voiced by Katashi Ishizuka, Toshiyuki Morikawa, or Shinichiro Miki in many of the games he appears in.In some of the Alpha games and in the first two Street Fighter III games, he is voiced by Wataru Takagi.He was portrayed by Byron Mann in the 1994 movie adaptation of the game."Street Fighter IV: Return of the World Warriors," GameInformer 178 (February 2008): 90.External links

The CyberDojo.I'll be picking up my copy this afternoon.It feels a little bit like Christmas, except unlike Santa Claus, I still believe in Steve Jobs and his software design team.Not looking forward to backing up over a terrabyte of stuff, but it'll be worth it.Nothing quite like running on a clean install of the latest and greatest.And if so, what's your favorite new feature in it so far?View the comments and leave your own.Tagged beatles, apple, itunes, ipod, iphone
As most of you no doubt already know, Apple is holding a media event in a few hours (10:00 AM PDT) to release new iPods, and possibly a whole lot more.Of note, the event, which Apple has dubbed "The Beat Goes On", seems to be a reference to the final press release issued by The Beatles in 1970:
Spring is here and Leeds play Chelsea tomorrow and Ringo and John
and George and Paul are alive and well and full of hope.The world is still spinning and so are we and so are you.The road has been long and winding, but it looks like it'll only be a few hours until customers can download digitally remastered Beatles songs on iTunes.Update: Event has begun Of note:
* new iTunes tonight
* ringtones support in iTunes
* new iPod shuffles in new colors, (PRODUCT) RED version
* new iPod nano, with larger screen, cover flow, games (Vortex, Sudoku), new colors, refreshed design, 320*240 screen, more capacity, video support, etc.Also interesting that what Steve called "iPhone apps" (aka, glorified web pages formatted to fit the iPhone UI) now by default, becomes iPod touch apps as well.Tunes Store on iPod touch (and iPhone?Ars reports, "Steve is being a tease by listening to Lennon songs"
* wait, wait, "One more 'incredible' part of this..."Starbucks button when you're browsing in Starbucks."Can now buy whatever song is playing at Starbucks with one tap of a finger" from Ars.Cool concept, but kind of a let down.Phone 8 gig price drop, and if his source was correct, 16 gig to fill in the top tier will be announced momentarily.Phone still remains kinda cutting edge.Starbucks announcement was far from 'incredible', and closer to 'huh?On a more optimistic note, this holiday season is going to be massive for Apple with all these new iPods.Nice gesture, and smart business move.View the comments and leave your own.Tagged nbc, apple, itunes, zuckerland
In case you hadn't heard, the executives at NBC think they're freaking geniuses.They've just figured out the secret to saving the company.It involves doing good business in a fantasy world that only exists in NBC head Jeff Zucker's mind.In Zuckerland, Apple is a big, bad, bully, demanding so much of the poor, defenseless television networks that working with them no longer makes sense.In Zuckerland, Rupert Murdoch is the nice guy who's going to help NBC fight the bully, Hulu.YouTube, and NBC will once again become the premier purveyor of quality television broadcasting, on the backs of such promising hits in the making as "Bee Movie" inspired mini episodes that Entertainment Weekly calls "most promising" among NBC's 2007 fall lineup.NBC shows, which, though it may sound ludicrous at first, actually makes perfect sense within this fantasy world, because in Jeff Zucker's mind, this is war with Apple, and wars cost a lot of money.Or, that Rupert Murdoch is happy to 'partner' with NBC on Hulu, but is not pulling Fox shows out of iTunes Store, because iTunes is sending Murdoch nice, fat pay checks every month in exchange for selling his shows.Or, that if you try to gouge your own fans, things tend to get ugly.Tunes Store purchasing NBC shows, including dozens of episodes of The Office, Heroes, and My Name is Earl.But apparently that ain't enough for Jeff Zucker.Part of me wants to write a nice letter to NBC to try to convince them to take this back.Which is a pity, because NBC has some really good, struggling shows, and I doubt this will help.So sign here if you think Zuckerland is a joke.Update: This one's almost too ludicrous to be true.I'm still holding some hope to the theory that this is all a massive publicity stunt and intricately planned, leading towards a finale featuring Zucker comically dancing off stage hauled off by a giant hook, followed by a retraction of everything that NBC has done over the past few days along with a public apology for humor in bad taste.But I think I'm being overly optimistic.Update 2: This is the part where the wrecked car on the side of the road that you've been staring at with morbid fascination while driving slowly past it suddenly explodes, rather unnecessarily.If you don't want to wade through the BS, what's left is the distinctive mix of paranoia, confusion and fear that is the mark of a corporation that doesn't understand its customers, is backed into a corner, and is too chicken to fess up and apologize.We never asked to double the wholesale price for our TV shows.Because, you know, our fans deserve it.Making our shows more expensive makes them feel more valuable you know.But the bullies in Cupertino refused.It is clear that Apple's retail pricing strategy for its iTunes service is designed to drive sales of Apple devices, at the expense of those who create the content that make these devices worth buying.The iPod is like, used by everyone.And we're the ones who sold it to everyone, by like, making the TV shows that people watch on them.And most people who use iPods are pirates.Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads*.Tagged leopard, time machine, time travel, pirates, space, back to the future
Or, as Apple puts it, "Hello, tomorrow."This was when Scott Forstall (who was at the time, speculated by the Mac press as being an heir apparent) was down to the final item on his initial ten item preview of Leopard features.After letting its name build itself up through the audience over a few minutes of expert simmering and vague narrational introduction, Scott clicked on a little icon in the dock, and the screen fell away to reveal one of Leopard's most guarded and revolutionary features: that all of our Macs, come October, will gain the ability to travel back and forth through our personal timeline in a mysterious and star studded realm that the people at Apple called Time Machine.Taken with the old iPhone, so excuse the quality.View the comments and leave your own.If you're going to do something Asian, why not that new Thai place?Even the most decisive of folks can be turned into blubbering infants when faced with so many options.View the comments and leave your own.Tagged iphone, apps
After a few weeks use, I can say for sure that I love my iPhone.Yes, I know that there are tons of web apps for iPhone out there, but I'm talking real apps, instead of glorified web page bookmarks.And though there are some pretty awesome native apps that have been created for the iPhone, it involves a lot of hacking on the user's part, which is something I've avoided doing every since I botched up my iPod nano trying to get it to run Doom.Here are five iPhone applications I'd like to see from Apple, along with mockup realizations by UI designer and friend, Josh Pyles, of Pixelmatrix Design.In all seriousness though, the iPhone's high resolution screen not only displays photos, videos and album art brightly and crisply, but renders text like a champ.And for the skeptics, I can attest that the iPhone renders text so well, I've browsed the web for hours on the little device without loss of vision, headaches, or eye soreness.In fact, it was actually a surprisingly pleasant experience.Admittedly, the iPhone is not ideal for reading.DL pioneered an immersive, intuitive, and delicious looking interface for digital media browsing, and we love it, and it works.Click me to view in full size
Bookmarks, check.Intuitive navigation (tap the corner or slide to the next page), check."Skimming" scroll options by dragging around on the right side of the screen, ala iPod functionality in the iPhone.I'd find myself reading more, in smaller chunks at a time, if this app was packed in by Apple.With such a grandiose prize at stake, we want to make sure that the winners are deserving, and so half of the total score of a theme will be based on the popular vote, so come one, come all, and vote for your favorite and most deserving theme.My name is Phill and I am a 19 year old Mac user, media enthusiast, and entrepreneur.Welcome to Zuckerland (Ongoing Coverage)
