Fight-the-Streets on 19 April 2015
Some people here don't see the reality. 1. Ryu is a HUGE character, worldwide! He is one of the most recognised and loved videogame characters of all times! He's even known outside the gaming (and movie) world. Ryu is basically Mario of the fighting genre. 2. Ryu IS very much connected to Nintendo. The SNES was the most important factor to make Street Fighter II a big name (although it was already famous in the arcades and also the later Megadrive version was well received but without the SNES it definitely wouldn't be THAT big). In return, it was a major factor to sell the SNES.
