It’s no surprise since the existence of this character was leaked earlier this year in arcades around the scene, and Capcom asked operators to remove him and a certain other character from their cabinets until their proper debut, which is this week!
Evil Ryu officially joins the roster for Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.
Here’s what Famitsu had to say:
“Each skill on Evil Ryu launches more slowly than regular Ryu, but tends to have more force,” wrote Japan’s Famitsu magazine in their coverage. “The control feel is nearly the same as Ryu, but the basic attacks that get used the most, like crouching medium or heavy kicks, launch more slowly as well. On the other hand, the opening after firing a hadouken is smaller, which seemed to make him pretty strong in projectile combat. Like Akuma, he doesn’t have much energy, so fighting with him using the same style as Ryu will get you defeated pretty quickly.”
