Define Ryu Meaning

Ryu
1. Japanese in origin, it simply means "Dragon."

2. An emotionally detached, wandering closet neurotic who also happens to be the focal point of Capcom's immensely popular "Street Fighter" series. Since the mid-1980s, this enigmatic drifter has searched the globe far-and-wide looking for the true meaning of "the fight."

His one and only friend is the arrogant and haughty bi-ethnic rich boy Ken Masters, who somehow, with all of the monetarial wealth he posesses, cannot purchase a pair of tweezers and tweeze his overtly bushy eyebrows.

Did I mention that he (Ryu) may also be psychologically disturbed?


Kyle: I think that Ryu should be the poster-boy for all vagrants out there.

Lou: What the hell's a 'vagrant'?

Ryu
That martial arts guy from Street Fighter who always beats up his friend Ken in every game. Ryu also enjoys picking fights with poor innocent dictators, demon-possessed martial-artists, and sorcerers, who are all just trying to make their way in the world. Apparently, Ryu also has a schoolgirl fetish, which explains why that Sakura babe keeps following him around since Street Fighter Alpha 2.

Ryu mopped the floor with Ken (again) with his Super Spinning Kick attack.

Ryu
A wondering martial artist originating in the Capcom phenominon Street Fighter 2. He has three distinct special attacks: the HaDouKen (Ki ball attack), the ShoRyuKen (Spinning uppercut), and the TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku (Hurricane Kick). In the console games it often impossible to tell what he is yelling out when he does a move. Most think his moves are "oh yuken," hadooket," and "hapjapjapjeruket." Ryu and Ken are close friends.

I don't have any examples.... STOP LOOKING HERE!

Ryu
1. A fighter in the immensely popular Street Fighter series that can use some of the most popular moves in the game.
2. A character in the not-so-immensely popular Breath of Fire series. Has the ability to transform into dragons and beat the living hell outta monsters.

1. Since I'm Ryu...You're gonna die, since of course, Ryu's the best.

2. Dude! That Dragon transformation Ryu just did was awesome! It kinda looked like Vegeta blowing himself up against Majin Buu...Before Buu regenerated.

Ryu
One of the original Street Fighters. Every game of the Street Fighter series has him in it. Arguably, one of the best characters in the whole game.

Shawn B. picks ryu every time she plays Street Fighter, except when she plays Street Fighter 3 or Pocket Fighter. Then, she usually picks that boy that looks like a girl or the cat-woman.
