if you are saying ryu's a wuss than everyone on sf is a wuss because almost everyone on sf has some sort of projectile and I think ryu and ken perfected the hadouken and the shoryuken because when u look back on the very first ,the 2D side scrolling adventure about protecting good from ,when it was just 2 characters such as ryu and ken on the nintendo the only moves they had were punches and kicks and with special button combinations different from now u could do the hadouken and shoryuken.I think Capcom did well creating the 2 most well known characters as far as fighting games go
