Is this ryu? - Very umm...

well if you want the real story behind street fighter 1 and 2 !

back then there was a game called KARATE CHAMPIONSHIP which had a lot of moves in it, but it wasn't very action action, you had to time a move so it hitted the opponent and the first who hitted was was winning a point !

everyone liked it since it was the ost advanced fighting game ever made up to then !
so capcom came in and wanted to mkae a game similar to it with as much moves but with faster gameplay !
they came in with STREET FIGHTER 1

characters in it were as these...
RYU, SAGAT, GEN, ADON, MIKE (MIKE BISON aka BALROG in usa probably came up form him) and a few others that were unknown to me sine i never saw them in any other SF games !

the end boss was SAGAT and in the ending if you had won you could see RYU giving the FLAMING SHORYUKEN which burned SAGAT chest !

the game did great when it came out, everyone played it it was better then karate championship was ! but there was abig problem to it... the controls, they were very sluggy, sometimes you could imput the hadoken but ended up with shoryuken or a simple kick but no hadoken throwed in. so the game got down as fast as it came out. Since the game didn't made it like it was suppose to, it was still a great game, i have it actually on my computer right now !

it's on...
WWW.MAME.DK
on the name STREET FIGHTER

let's go on with the story...
capcom decided to go on with a new kind of engine, an engine that could be fast and an engine where controls could be able to follow the action ! problem were the joysticks back then... they just weren't made for such actions so capcom had to wait until better joysticks came out.

in 1992 the solution came, companyes had developped a few games that were going action action and very fast action... now was the right time, so the company letted out their little baby that they had worked so hard int he past 5 years... thus STREET FIGHTER II was born and going live int he arcades !

can't say it that lud, but it was such a success that even today the we are still speaking about the greatest fighting game ever made !

you know the rest so i won't speak of the other SF games !

EDIT:
oh and kingofheart... tell me where you see shoes on ryu's feet !
i see his toes man !
