All of Ryu's attacks originate from the ''Street Fighter'' series.

In addition, by inputting the original ''Street Fighter'' button inputs for these moves, the moves are stronger when executed. Ryu also has two [[Final Smash]] attacks, the only character in the series so far with this distinction. If used normally, the Final Smash is a [[Shinku Hadoken]], which sends a larger Hadouken across the screen that can pull in fighters; if used next to an opponent, the Final Smash is a [[Shin Shoryuken]], which is a more powerful Shoryuken. | All of Ryu's attacks originate from the ''Street Fighter'' series.

Ryu is one of the central characters of Capcom's Street Fighter series, appearing in every game in the series since the first. He is a practitioner of a unique martial art known as Ansatsuken. He appears as a downloadable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, making him the first downloadable character to be either a newcomer or a third party character. Players who purchase him off the Nintendo eShop also get his Street Fighter II stage, Suzaku Castle. Ryu is voiced by his voice actors for all versions of Street Fighter IV: Kyle Hebert in the English releases, and Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese.
All of Ryu's attacks originate from the Street Fighter series. Like in the port of the original Street Fighter for the TurboGrafx-CD / PC-Engine, the power of Ryu's attacks is dependent on how long the player holds down the attack buttons. His neutral special is the Hadoken, his side special is the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, his up special is the Shoryuken, and his down special is Focus Attack. In addition, by inputting the original Street Fighter button inputs for these moves, the moves are stronger when executed. Ryu also has two Final Smash attacks, the only character in the series so far with this distinction. If used normally, the Final Smash is a Shinku Hadoken, which sends a larger Hadouken across the screen that can pull in fighters; if used next to an opponent, the Final Smash is a Shin Shoryuken, which is a more powerful Shoryuken.
A number of Ryu's aesthetics also reference his series of origin. All of Ryu's attacks, when landed, play the corresponding sounds from Street Fighter II. Hitting him while shielding also plays a unique sound, and perfect shielding plays the "parry" sound from Street Fighter III. Finally, all of Ryu's alternate costumes are those from his appearance in Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

Arcade Street Fighter (1987) | Ryu's Focus Attack move lets him withstand a blow and then counterattack. The longer you hold it, the longer your enemies will be stunned if you hit them. If it hits a standing enemy, the enemy will become defenseless. When that happens, cancel your Focus Attack and unleash a sick combo! | Ryu's down special, Focus Attack, allows him to withstand a single attack and then unleash a counter. The longer you hold the button, the longer a standing enemy will be stunned if you hit them. An enemy in the air will fall slowly, defenceless. When that happens, cancel the Focus Attack and go for the knock-out! |
| Shin Shoryuken/Shinku Hadoken | N/A | 
|
Use this attack when Ryu is far away from an enemy to unleash a Shinku Hadoken that penetrates through the stage. But if you use it when Ryu is close to an enemy, he’ll unleash a Shin Shoryuken uppercut attack. When it hits, Ryu will follow up with his other fist and launch the opponent up, up, and away! | Ryu's Final Smash takes on two different forms depending on how close Ryu is to the enemy. If he's farther away, he'll use Shinku Hadoken, a move that pulls in any enemies nearby. If closer, he'll instead use Shin Shoryuken. He'll hit the enemy once with a powerful uppercut, then follow it up with the other fist to finish the job! |

Palutena's Guidance
The following dialogue applies also to Mewtwo, Lucas, and Roy, all DLC characters like Ryu.
- Pit: Who is THAT?
- Palutena: I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
- Viridi: It must be an intruder from another dimension!
- Pit: Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

Trivia
- Ryu's newcomer artwork is the only newcomer artwork besides Palutena's and Shulk's to not feature Mario.
- Ryu's newcomer artwork is actually a parody of a piece of promotional artwork for Street Fighter II.
- While Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U is Ryu's first and only crossover appearance alongside any Mario characters apart from Bowser, he has appeared alongside other characters with playable, assist or boss roles in the Super Smash Bros. series (Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man and his variants, Pac-Man, Lucina, Chrom, Metal Face and the aforementioned Bowser) in a number of other crossovers.
