Somebody connect Ryu to any of the characters from Metal Slug. No MUGEN
Now trying to figure out how to connect him to Divekick, which would connect him to Johnny Gat from Saints Row and Nidhogg

This is awesome.
We gotta figure out some of the more bizarre and fun things with the Ryu number that the Bacon number has. Highest Ryu number? Presidents with a Ryu number? What's the biggest franchise without any Ryu number?
EDIT: I think going for mythology is pushing it, though. At that point it's like doing a Mandragora number for RPGs.
SVC Chaos, KOF, Metal Slug 6
Edit: heck, could probably just do SVC Card Fighters Clash or some shit

Ez Pz. Ryu->Iori(SNK VS. Capcom)->Ralph and Clark (King of the Fighters), who were both in Metal Slug VI.
Obama has met Spider-Man, who has fought Ryu.
George Bush Jr. has met Captain America, who has fought Ryu. Ditto Nixon.
I think the biggest franchise with no crossover is probably Call of Duty but I'd love to be proven wrong. Has Ryu ever fought a jet or something? Maybe that car from the special stages.
Ryu - The Baz
Beat that
Man, you can go Ryu -> Sonic via Smash -> Gilius Thunderhead via Sonic Racing Transformed -> Darksol via Shining in the Darkness -> Jogurt the Yogurt via Shining Force

- Spawn's Ryu number is 3. While Heihachi (1, Street Fighter X Tekken) and Link (1, SSB4) both appeared in Soulcalibur II, they were exclusive to different versions and therefore never directly shared a roster with Spawn, necessitating an additional connection via the Soulcalibur cast.
Is there an anime number too, particularly with VA?

An omission!
American Dad vs. Family Guy: Kung-Fu II Turbo! Hyper-Mega Edition was a Flash game developed to market American Dad and Family Guy DVD releases. It wouldn't be worth mentioning here, but they actually licensed Ryu to serve as the final boss.
EDIT:
There was also Street Fighter: Mouse Generation, a Japan-only PC fighting game which had Ryu fighting, among others, Chinese wuxia characters, Cyborg 009, and Barack Obama.

I think the Ryu-Bacon number is probably better considered in the context of the actor, but YMMV on that.
Captain Lou Albano and John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper - and even Samantha Mathis - also have 3's. I'm sure there's gotta be a 2 via SSB, though.
If you stretch things beyond straight fighting games, she also played Jane Foster in the Thor films, who appeared in Marvel: Future Fight with a bunch of other Marvel characters. It's entirely possible she will appear - more appropriately - in a future MvC fighter.
(Although if you stretch things beyond straight fighting games, hello Lego!)
Edit: Wait! Marvel: Contest of Champions is a straight official fighting game and already has her in it! That would give her a Ryu number of 2, and fill in the gap.

As a mecha fan I'm trying to make an Optimus Prime - Mazinger connection, but the chain I can think of is insanely long:
Mazinger -(Super Robot Gakuen)> - Fighter Roar -(Endless Frontier)> - KOS-MOS -(Namco X Capcom)> Heihachi -(PSASBR)> Solid Snake -(DreamMix)> Optimus Prime.
Anyone can help me skip some links? I'm sure there must be some Takara game that makes it much shorter, considering many of the Brave series have starred in SRW games alongsize Mazinger.
What's the biggest franchise without any Ryu number?
I'd say look to stuff on Sony platforms. I'm drawing a blank on a lot of them. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank...
What about Katamari or Disgaea? Dragon Quest?

It should be 2. Namco X Capcom has Mitsurugi and Taki. who debuted in Soul Edge and was in Soulcalibur II.

Now that Mario x Rabbids is proven to be real, Rayman's Ryu number would be 3.
I could be wrong but isn't Jason or Freddy in one of the COD zombie modes? They're in Mortal Kombat and that connects to Injustice, and Batman has a Ryu number.
On the more general scope of VA, I wouldn't be too surprised if a North Number was a viable concept.
Edit: Actually, that's a bit too modern. Maybe we'd want a Welker Number? He's been very prolific.

We could still do the Heihachi, Cole, and Toro/Kuro (SFxT) connection or Snake (SSBB) to Raiden to connection to connect to PSABR assuming Dante (DmC) is a different character.I reject using Dante (DmC) and Dante (DMC 1-4) as the same character. They're clearly distinct characters with the same name.
Both of them were on PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale
Disgaea is connected via Cross Edge, which also has Darkstalkers characters.
Dragon Quest has crossovers with Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros.
Gorbachev has a Ryu number of 1 via Zangief's ending. Then the Spitting Image game connects him to some politicians of that era.
Holy shit.I note with profound regret that Padmé Amidala has not appeared in a Star Wars fighting game, or Natalie Portman would lay claim to the ultimate rarity, the nontrivial RyuBaconErdős number.
I would have thought Zangief would have been an easier connection than Ryu to the greater gaming universe and beyond since he was in Wreck-it Ralph, but I guess he didn't fight anybody in that movie and I think he's not in all the VS games, so maybe that doesn't work.
Weird idea there, OP.
If we count external media then Ryu actually has a 3 with Batman. Ryu->Thor(MvC3)->Superman(DC vs. Marvel)->Batman(Injustice). Also through the Dante/Kratos/Scorpion link Ryu has fought Freddy Krueger and.Jason Vorhees.
Sigourney Weaver has a Ryu number of 4, considering Scorpion has fought the Alien.
I tried to connect Goku to Ryu but didn't have any success, I started with J-Stars Victory VS and then tried to find my way to Ryu but couldn't.
Had a bit of trouble with GTA. The Sims has Morrigan from Dragon Age in it, though I couldn't make a connection from there. You might be able to connect the Dr. Wright Assist Trophy from SSBB though.What about Grand Theft Auto? The Sims? Assassin's Creed? Elder Scrolls? Fallout
Mike Tyson has a Ryu number of 1 and a Kevin Bacon number of 2 (Neve Campbell, "When Will I Be Loved" and "Wild Things"). But I couldn't find him on PubMed to calculate his Erdős number.

I believe Angry Birds characters show up in Puzzle and Dragons, which has Cloud. It also has Attack on Titan, DBZ, Evangelion, and a whole lot of other anime.
Edit: For Assassins Creed, Ezio was in Soul Calibur V, and both Mitsurgi and Natsu from that game tie with Ryu directly due to NxC and PxZ2.
Cloud (Smash 4) -> Goku (Puzzle and Dragons)
I'm not inclined to count Boxer/Balrog/Bison as Mike Tyson, but if you count non-playable bosses, Tyson still has a Ryu number of 2 via Little Mac.
I knew the gacha games wouldn't disappoint, and Puzzle & Dragons is one of the biggest and most prolific in crossovers.
For Angry Birds, would the Star Wars and Transformers crossovers count? And more in general, do "crossoverized" versions of characters count?
Angry birds had a crossover with sonic, sonic is in smash, etc.
Elder Scrolls? Fallout?
Minecraft has crossed over with Mario so that's easy.
Lol technically he's fought Thanos too, just in the other two games.
