Not only has Ryu got all of his moves from the previous game, he now has the ability to change his move set to Ken or Akuma's! Capcom also updated his sprite so he looks more like his Street Fighter II appearance (note the red headband). Click on an image above to be taken to each version of Ryu's moves.
