Our very own Platy made his own comparison.

Here ... did a better job than Kotaku in my free time =P
More notable omissions are the 3D games because of the lack of transparent sprites =P

[Hagi]

Dat Capcom vs SNK 2, so good.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Missing snk vs Capcom ryu. Throw it all out.

 

[Trey]

SF4 art style will never not be hideous to me.

 

[Heart of Black]

Also -

 

[Azure Dream]

Oh, I thought this would be more in-depth than his profile pictures copied from a sprites site.

 

[Kiru]

Dat Capcom vs SNK 2, so good.

Yep. Really like that one.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

More like how he hasn't changed.

 

[Heart of Black]

Oh, I thought this would be more in-depth than his profile pictures copied from a sprites site.

Yeah that would have been cool. Talking about Hadoken strength and what not.

 

[Kintaro]

3rd Strike and Capcom vs. SNK 2 are the best. So good. Also, the CvS2 Evil Ryu is so boss in that game. Best version.

 

[TheMan]

his eyebrows grew wings in street fighter alpha

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Ultimate Marvel Ryu's hair looks so terrible.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Gem Fighter Ryu is best Ryu.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

The real one.

 

[Kikarian]

His nose is the only thing that changes.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (SSF2THDR ?) is the worst

 

[Koppai]

I like the TatsuCap model :3

 

[Boogybro]

Also -

God I love CvS2

 

[RaidenZR]

I hate modern gorilla-Ryu. Bring back Alpha or Charlie Sheen-style.

 

[Tecl0n]

mvc2 looks young.

 

[Alx]

I never noticed that his eyebrows went over his head band... >
I like the Tatsunoko one. I wish I could play that game. :/

 

[Coreda]

The 3rd Strike version is how I always picture Ryu.

 

[Frolow]

I love how in Street Fighter Alpha they gradually change his hair from Red to Brown.

 

[opticalmace]

I hate modern gorilla-Ryu. Bring back Alpha or Charlie Sheen-style.

Why is Charlie Sheen not the protagonist of GTAV.

 

[Dark Octave]

Different artists take on Ryu. Ok.

 

[Baleoce]

MvC3/UMvC3/SFxT Models are hideous. HD Remix is a bit wtf as well, almost looks like T Hawk with that facial structure, literally.

That CvS2 art is gorgeous though.

 

[adamantypants]

Why didn't they put the games in order of release?

 

[brinstar]

3rd Strike Ryu is my favorite.

 

[Copenap]

It's amazing how SF2 Ryu still remains best Ryu.

 

[JaseMath]

Love Tatsunoko Ryu best.

 

[Zaptruder]

CvS2 art was god tier in general.

 

[JordanKZ]

Third Strike Ryu is easily my favourite. His sprite is fantastic.

(Tiny gif!)

 

[erpg]

I sometimes wonder how they could've had Kinu Nishimura and Shinkiro on board but still manage to come out with Street Fighter 4's art style.

 

[Jinfash]

SSF2T is still my favorite.

HD Remix is by far the worst.

 

[Codeblue]

Love Tatsunoko Ryu best.

Same. All the art in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was pretty great in general.

 

[Pixels]

Seems he got more angry and intense over the years.

 

[captmcblack]

Third Strike Ryu *is* Ryu to me.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

MvC3/UMvC3/SFxT Models are hideous. HD Remix is a bit wtf as well, almost looks like T Hawk with that facial structure, literally.

That CvS2 art is gorgeous though.

Holy shit! Laziness at it's best. Capcpom pls.

 

[Boney]

Love Turbo Revival's art

On the phone so can't post an image

 

[SolarPowered]

I'm so happy for Marvel vs Capcom 3 Ryu. He finally achieved his dream of becoming a Pewter City gym leader.

Third Strike, CvS2 and MvC3 Ryu are my favs. Tatsunoko Ryu is pretty good too.

 

[The Bankslammer]

oh man the awesome shinkiro tvc art right next to a really poorly chosen sfxt render, euughhh

also they should've chosen win screen brock ryu for the umvc3 pic

 

[thelatestmodel]

HD Remix is by far the worst.

HD Remix is actually by far the best. The best Streetfighter game, given a stunning facelift. I love it, best of all time.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

So good.

[Phatmac]

Third Strike Ryu is what I picture Ryu looking like.

 

[KOMANI]

The real one.

the real one got his ass beat by Shogun, TWICE.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So what I'm getting from this thread is basically that Kinu Nishimura should draw everything ever.

Which is completely accurate.

[ArtHands]

Holy shit! Laziness at it's best. Capcpom pls.

Capcom hired Udon entertainment to draw these arts

 

[Boney]

So good.

My man
