Evil Ryu

Originally, Ryu scarred Sagat with a single Shoryuken. It was later retconned that Ryu lost control of himself by rising up fist first, upsetting Sagat (and nearly killing him) with a Metsu Shoryuken. His attack took on the properties of Goutetsu’s original art despite having never been taught it by his masterGouken. Although Sagat wanted revenge for his scarred chest, he never knew that the scar came from the Satsui no Hadou, a dark power that consumedRyu. During Street Fighter Alpha 2, Ryu finally realized that the Satsui no Hadou was the culprit behind his cheap victory over Sagat. Knowing about this dark intent, Ryu has vowed to reject the Satsui no Hadou. It was not until the end of Street Fighter Alpha 3 that Ryu was able to fully reject the Satsui no Hadou.
