Ryu is one of the best characters in Marvel vs. Capcom, simply because
HE'S EASY TO USE!!! Ryu has got a large power up sense Marvel Super
Heroes Vs. Street fighter. He can now change into Ken or Akuma! This
gives the Shotokan vets all the best supers and combos in one
character. The only problem is that it takes one level off of his
super bar.

In this version I have changed the Extra Stuff section into the
Upcoming Games and Rumors section, I have also added a description
on how to play in each of Ryu's modes.
Ryu's Story
Ryu was trained by Gouken in the art of Shotokan karate. Ryu trained
with a young boy by the name of Ken Masters. The two of them trained
to become the greatest fighters in the world. Ken left to America
shortly after, and Ryu kept up with his training. Now, Ryu searchs the
World for great fighters to perfect his skills.

Ryu has a large set of moves that are easy to learn.
Here is the button set up:

will srink in size.
