Don't you just love when companies don't act like culture surrounding their stuff doesn't exist?

For some properties, it is for the best. In this case, it's a positive.

Yeah, i would be more than OK if Pharah + Mercy was adopted on the official Overwatch lore :3

It's actually neat how a fan name ended up being adopted by Capcom themselves. Maybe they'll change the Battle Outfit name to "Hot Ryu" in-game in a later update.

Cool. Can't wait for 10 years time when all my purchases past and present are being logged by Google overlords to further personalise my search results and 'Hot Ryu' is part of that.

Now time to make more "Hot" costumes to compensate for the girls in bikinis ...

"Hot Ken", "Hot Guile" ... "HOT VEGA" BY THE LOVE OF GOD !

Remember the original Hot Ryu thread where some people were legitimately mad that the "How Hot is Hot Ryu" poll didn't have a "I don't think he's hot" option


Those people were crazy

I collect Pops so when I heard the box had Hot Ryu on it I was laughing pretty hard.

You're definitely not the only one. I see lots of people post about how ugly and soulless they look. I don't like every one of them, but I think most are cute. They just go after a lot of licenses.

Hot Ryu figure actually isn't bad at all, but i have seen some very ugly ones.
