Legendary game franchise

Street Fighter, the legendary video game franchise, revolves around a worldwide martial arts tournament featuring a large cast of playable characters - including Ryu. Serious, quiet and seemingly unemotional, Ryu is an honourable warrior whose simple but necessarily violent fighting style involves a number of specialist attacks, including his trademark ‘vacuum energy fist’ - Shinku Hadoken.
