EVO2K9 Montage Depicts Two Decades Of Ryu

[flowplayer="http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/d5/unsecured/media/22717159001/22717159001_30225672001_sfryuexh-evo2k9ohn8.flv" width=350 aspect=.75]​

Since Street Fighter first appeared in 1987, series mainstay Ryu has been synonymous with the fighting game genre. A montage created for the recent EVO2K9 tournament demonstrates why.

Created by Street Fighter fan "Majestros," the video contains some particularly insane combination attacks from throughout the history of the series. Not content to feature just the Street Fighter games, Majestros includes footage from spin-off titles ranging from X-men Vs Street Fighter to SNK Vs Capcom: SVC Chaos.

While combo videos are nothing new, what's particularly impressive about this effort is how seamlessly each segment segues into the next. According to GameSetWatch [http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2009/07/most_impressive_ryu_footage_ou.php], the clip had been in production for nearly 10 months prior to its debut at EVO2K9.

Somewhere in this world, there is an editor whose eyes are bleeding out of their sockets.

That editor deserves a fucking medal!

This made me want to go out and play at the arcade...

Then i remembered this video was probably put together by the same asian kid who would beat me down everytime i was feeling good at marvel vs capcom.

Exactly, it almost makes me question my Street Fighting abilities...

Who am I kidding, I'm awesome. Add me on Steam for SFIV! The SF 2 combos are what impressed me the most, easily.

Also wake me up when there's a Ken montage (NO Cold Storage, I won't hear otherwise!).

That's some awesome choreography.

But it does prove that Ryu is a Cheesemonster extraordinaire.

Next, a Chun-Li montage please

Next, a Chun-Li montage please

I didn't know you were a 'leg man', Root!

While I admire Lara, Chun Li will always be my first love.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 comes out next week as well, how convenient.

But, as a 2D fighting fan those combos were amazing.

Well according to the thing it took 10 months for this one, i guess the ken one will be out next May...i simply cant wait that long.

EDIT: How the hell did I forget to reply? Anyway...

It matters not, greatness takes time. Considering the insanity of those combos, and Ken is known for his combos, it will be madness incarnate. Do want.

I'll take Cammy over both. Hell I'll take Sakura over all.

...she's legal now, right? Right?!?

What game was that where he was fighting Demitri?

As far as I know that should be Capcom Fighting Jam. Great game but not enough content.


Edited for relavance, you would have had to have sifted through that to see Demitri. ;¬)

I would drink to that but I don't actually drink, instead i will tip my non-existant hat, failing that I'll just bombard you with Chun-Li Pornography

Oh, my.

Such an impressive montage though, makes me want to dig out my SNES again. If I weren't scared of becoming depressed at how bad I am compared to that.

I want a Vega montage though... What? I like Vega!

In Australia she is

Trying to sell Australia to me are we?

She's also legal in Japan. But everything is legal in Japan.
