Take a look at this awesome graffiti found in the streets of Paris. A down and out Ryu from Street Fighter is added to that empowering image of Muhammad Ali's quickly-won 1965 heavyweight championship rematch against Sonny Liston, which these days you may see more often on the walls of college students than of boxing aficionados.

Another High Quality Street Fighter Fan Film? Awkward...

Mike Fahey — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:20:00 EDT

Legend of Chun Li Missing Ryu And Ken But Will Have Buns

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:00:00 EDT

fdemarco — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:20:10 EDT

Take a gander at these gorgeous Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix screens. These fourteen screen shots only feature SF poster boys Ken and Ryu so if you're looking to see other character art, it's not here. The thing to really look at though is the backgrounds which are just beautiful. More »

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Sprite Comparison

fdemarco — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 15:00:00 EDT

Man, Ryu has never looked so slick! French website Gamekult has posted this "confidential" slide from a Capcom press conference showing a comparison between the original SSFII Ryu sprites scaled up to HD resolution and what the new HD sprites will look like.

Clip: Street Fighter For Reals

fdemarco — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 16:00:00 EST

It might not have the sophistication of Street Fighter: The Later Years and the camera work may have you running for the Dramamine, but these guys go all out with their staged recreation of a battle between Street Fighter heavy weights, Ken and Ryu. A few points of interest: Ken's wig is terrifying, the moving life bar is genius and never underestimate the power of a guy in a black body suit to create the illusion of a perfect Hadouken.

Ken

Brian Crecente — Sat, 26 Aug 2006 03:20:56 EDT

Sexylilsushiroll has a page full of her handiwork, including Ryu from Ninja Gaiden, Super Sonic and the ubiquitous Mario. Neato! Brian Ashcraft More »
