He punched and kicked with the precision and intent of becoming a world-class fighter. When I first approached him in Genbu Temple, he was deep into his routine. I had to leave the bustling noise of Street Fighter 6’s metropolis hub to find him training in Japan. Ryu is (was?) the face of Street Fighter, but he’s pretty uninvolved in the petty going-ons of World Tour’s main story which is mostly just you chasing after your anime rival who gets caught up in doing crime to get stronger and then gets very quickly in over his head as the stakes escalate. Thanks to Street Fighter 6, my love for Ryu has skyrocketed past fictional character thirst into swinging my feet in my bed while reading his boneheaded texts. And y’all, I’ve had a crush on Ryu for years, all the while knowing he was not the brightest and hippest person in the cast, but this man is a himbo. Instead, one of the most memorable parts of the experience is the World Tour mode’s social elements that let you become besties with all your favorite and least favorite fighters.

Street Fighter 6 already has a lot going for it as a return to form for Capcom’s marquee fighting game, but one of the best parts of the game has very little to do with fighting.

Ryu is seen shirtless and working with others and clearly being the only one who isn't straining himself.
