@elonmartin3294 Ryu and Ken are basically what would be Akuma and Gouken,If they never Became enemies. Ryu is Akuma if he never chose give up his humanity the Satsui No hado and followed in the same path as Gouken And Ken is Basically what Gouken would be if he had a family of his own,Wife,Son and the good life
Without Ken and Ryu, Street Fighter dies with it and that's never happening. We talking bout 2 of the greatest fighting characters in the entire history of video games!! They bigger than the game itself now.
I’m 39 and I completely agree. My best/childhood friend name is Ken so he always played with Ken and it’s crazy cause he’s the more flashy out in the open guy and I’m the laid back reserved guy. I can’t make this shit up lol. I’ll be playin SF until I die! This shit is definitely apart of our lives!
Ryu and Ken, the best of friends who can not see each other for years on end but pick up where they left off and that’s usually with a sparring match lol.
Faster but not as strong. This is usually the case in the video games. Plus Ryu has more ki blast potential. As an Asian I like Ryu as the main protagonist but I always like Ken's flashy attack patterns betterm
@@csl9495 SF5 Ryu's ultra move, his Ultra combo, is actually my favorite because the look on all the opponents faces is like "WTF am I dying?" The power behind that punch is something unbelievably powerful. You look at Ryu's fighting style, it very quickly reminds me of me and my dad's training style. He was Taekwondo before moving into Shotokan karate, which he taught to me when I was 12 and was training Judo full time. I am a fan of judo being used in more movies. It is very effective in street fights when in grappling situations with no more than 2 assailants. But I see that Shotokan powerful technique and style in his kicks and strikes. In Shotokan, we keep it simple and we try to really be good for counter attacks.
@@csl9495 Shoryuken is the technique I was thinking about there. I hope Ryu and Ken's Ultimate combo are more powerful looking than the last ones. The last Shoryuken from Ryu looks painful and we see it on the opponents when they are punched by it. If that were in Mortal Kombat, it would punch a whole right through them without fire on his fists like with Liu Kang.
That's the thing about these two. I dont really see them as rivals but rather brothers. It doesnt seem to me that they are competing to defeat one another. Ryu is focused on defeating himself while Ken is an old friend who happens to practice the same style. In Alpha series, they were playful and fell to teasing one another. But in the later games, they are much more focused on each goals.
To me, the fight with Ryu and Sagat's ending is canon in Sagat's ending where he tells the little girl the village he just met an old friend thus proving Sagat has put his personal vendetta in the past and sees Ryu as a sparring partner and friend.
Yea I dont wanna see Sagat as a bad guy no more. He had far more honor than any of the shadaloo guys. I remember reading the comic where he looks for Ryu. Ryu gets ahead of himself and attacks Sagat but in the comic, I cant remember exactly but I remember Sagat just wanted to talk cause Ryu was losing his way. I have the comic somewhere. I just remember the art looking so amazing for the time.
Ryu has 2 main hachimaki (headbands). The red one is from Ken, the white one is from Gouken’s daughter (who was like a little sister to him growing up).
Yep it's taking a better direction with SF6 chapter. SFV was a money grab but they have matured them and Bison is dead for good now. This new boss JP looks interesting.
@@allenguillory6337 I’d have to say not so fast. We can revisit this when SF 7 comes out but I think JP is a descendant of Bison or has some type of connection to Bison.
This won’t end. Capcom will milk Street Fighter until my grandchildren have grandchildren in Super Mega Ultimate Limited Edition super Sayian Street Fighter Quadriple Impact limited Editon 3000 XXV - ultra.
This two got me hooked in the dual hero archetype. I usually don't like stories which involve only one hero. When he has at least a recurring equal, I like the story.
Back in the day they were just a copy of the same character. Until years later when tech got better and they started to make then distinctive. I've always been a Ken fan.
What a fun video. I’d love to see another covering some other Street Fighter characters; Chun-Li, Guile, Charlie, Sakura, Juri, Ibuki, Makoto, Blanka, Poison, Hugo, Dan, Cammy, Fei Long, Vega (Balrog in Japan), Akuma (Goki in Japan), Goken, Cody, Guy, Dhalsim, Oro, Q, Urien, Gill…. Basically, everyone.
I think Street Fighter II was a big fluke for CAPCOM. They've always been kind of ridiculous and lame with their concepts, but all the elements came together well enough in SFII that it became truly iconic. However, CAPCOM was still the same, and as the franchise continued it veered off into more things that aren't really that good. The whole franchise relies on those original key characters of the first generation (not even counting Akuma, much less the new challengers). If CAPCOM ever becomes so egotistical that they think they can put those characters behind them and still bank on the Street Fighter name, they will learn a hard lesson.
How the heck did you come up with all this?? This is some really creative and awesome interweaving of movie, videogame and cartoon footage...I really enjoyed watching it. :) :)
This is far, far from the end. In fact, it's just the beginning of the dawn of a new era. As for what I like about Ken and Ryu, well, Ryu is to thunder and lightning, and the Dragon Punch, and Ken is all about fire and a slew of variations of hurricane kicks.😁
This is my favorite fighting game of all time . I have so many memories of playing this and having a group of guys playing this like 8 of us at times more at times because we would have tournaments winner stays up lol I remember winning so much I had to give my spot up to be fair the good ole days lol
As much as I like Ryu being a fighter I think he's reached an age where he should settle down a little and start a family or at least take in a disciple like Ken. He's been a loner for far too long I say.
Nah. This isn't the end. There's no street fighter without Ryu and Ken. These kids didn't even inherit the throne. 5 was the beginning of the end. Capcom is ass. Fgc players will play anything though to run away from real life so they'll refute this. Capcom has lost its soul. Lost what made it great out of worry for money.
Since Ryu is Basically becoming like Gouken,I wonder if Capcom might do a storyline for Ken where he falls in the dark hado,and Akuma seeks him out,since he couldn't get ryu to submit to it and become his successor
Not much can be said or changed based on fans opinions and comments across the board. I was there in NYC growing up when SF2 blew up. You talk about the place to be well New York City and Street Fighter 2 were a perfect couple. So many places to play and so many challengers in all 5 Boroughs that had a reputation. I barely played Street Fighter 4 when it came out. I was hyped for it and was day 1 buyer for it on PC with arcade stick. I just was about 30 when it came out and real life was busy. I never played SF 5 and I probably won't play SF 6. Time marches on. I got to be apart of the rise and for a while the fall of 2d Fighters and Fighting games. The 1990's had so many classics outside of Capcom , SNK etc. The Beat Em Up genre was another wonderful thing that I know is back again. If anything Beat Em Up games give me that thrill these days because I can play online with some old friends and bullshit. The target market for a guy over 40 in videogames is not a good one or prosperity for companies. We didn't have guys in their 40's and 50's around me growing up who played Videogames besides the rare parent who may play one or know about PacMan. We were apart of the original bang and we became the angry get off my lawn gamers that think it's still for us. Not saying you the person who made this video just saying to everyone older who wishes something new can be like something old. It can't. The fact is even our Videogame Characters we loved growing up will grow old in story lines and fade away. The 14 year old kid today don't care about the OG characters like we did. We live in a different world all together now where it's He/She, Transgenders, interacial and gays accepted. All of this stuff existed 30 years ago but now it's the forefront of gaming and those are the kind of main characters the younger generation of gamers attract to. To be quite frank it's not for me. I didn't grow up around it. I grew up in the projects of NYC. The world has changed and so has gaming. I rather play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on PS1 or Crazy Taxi or some fun game over modern stuff but not everyone wants to. But the wonderful thing about it all I still have my corner of my nostalgia to bring that feeling back time to time while the young kids today have their own. And in 20 years or so they too will go through seeing all the changes they don't care for or do and not understand that the characters that knocked ours out of play are now falling out of hindsight as well. In a weird way I find myself enjoying my OG Gameboy and playing homebrew games on Atari 2600 more than anything else these days. Simple fun. I wish Switch Sports was better though.
Do you not mean deviants, bigots, and demon possessed nut jobs in describing those individuals in their lives? Anyone that says otherwise confirms that they are ironically those things in their lives. Also, you really are limiting yourself by sticking to the past.
Ken has too many attachments to focus purely on fighting, that's why Akuma doesn't bother with him. Unlike Sagat, Ken has defeated Ryu multiple times before
@@mareo187 the reason ppl say that is because ken has shown to have more potential if he focused on fighting. if anything, he's pushed the martial art further than ryu all the while focusing on other things.
In sf cartoon, on USA network cable. Akuma did target Ken, and it was a good story line. They showed they differences between them. I suggest given it a look.
I think if you think really hard ryu embodies the origin of mankind,tradition, discipline and culture where ken stande for freedom, modernity, boldness Both are equally important and dont exist without each other
Capcom did confirmed that Luke for now will be new main protagonist of the Streetfighter brand to fit the younger generation of SF Fans, but he is somehow connected to Ryu in some form. I won't be surprised he has dark hadou and he possibly a relative of Ryu.
@@isrealgolden1913 , honestly, if anyone should become his, meaning Ryu's, successor, then it should be Sakura, hands down. I have nothing against Sean, or even Luke, but Sakura is pretty much the lead disciple of Ryu, that is, if he were to have one, anyway. Moreover, Sakura also already has experience headlining her own spinoff series in the Rival Schools games, so Luke should not be the face of the series, and, if anyone should lead the series, then instead of making just one lead character of the series, then there should be two people that are the new faces of the series, and it should be Sakura AND Luke together. Moreover, I also feel like Luke would be learning his own style from both Ken AND Ryu, though he sees Ken more frequently because, well, Ken lives closer to him than Ryu does and Ken is his possibly a relative of his, so maybe have it where Luke is a cousin of Ken and that Sakura and Luke are like pen pals that became lovers over time due to certain events that happened behind the scenes in the Street Fighter Universe.
The street fighter series has a nice long run street fighter 6 should have a nice wrap up with the characters we grew up with, and maybe have a reboot a long time to come with characters trained under the OG’s sounds like a stretch but it would be nice
20:22 Man, Necalli was wasted, his story could of had so much potential for Ryu and Ken to find a new level of power 😑 oh well. The story between these two over the years has had some highs and lows but overall still solid. Now that they are the older guys, I want to see them guiding the new characters for the future and being the goal post they want to achieve
Ken and Ryu are brothers. Pushing each other to get better. They are NOT rivals. Iori Yagami and Kyo from KOF are rivals. Know the difference. To call them rivals would mean there is a need for superiority. They dont have that. They are happy for each others feats and achievements
I remember reading in a UK supplementary gaming mag that he perfected his dragon punch in Super Street Fighter after his favourite programme ended.....Cheers the sitcom. I have never found proof of it, is there any evidence of this.
they need to make another movie in the style of the alpha movie. You also did not mention why its an end of an era when they are barely honing their skills. I hate the fact that 3rd strike is actually after 4 and 5. Makes no sense why they do this instead of moving forward with the story. Looks like this series also cant find a way to kill off characters lol, bison came back and goken. But if it wasnt for this video i would not know the story. But yeah they need to make another movie in the older styles, these new styles are to pretty looking for my taste.
Well, I believe Ryu and Ken are following different paths to power. Ryu while training with Oro, will learn how to combine The Power of Nothingness with Senjustu techniques. On the other hand, Ken could seek out Rose for additional training and learn how to combine The Power of Nothingness with Soul Power. These guys could work together to defeat JP during the events of Street Fighter 6. They must continue facing tough adversaries that push them to greater heights of skill and power.
what do you like about ryu and ken ?
Friendship and rivalry. They remain friends no matter who win/loses when they fight. And they got each other's back since the beginning🔥
Their relationship they brothers
@elonmartin3294 Ryu and Ken are basically what would be Akuma and Gouken,If they never Became enemies.
Ryu is Akuma if he never chose give up his humanity the Satsui No hado and followed in the same path as Gouken
And Ken is Basically what Gouken would be if he had a family of his own,Wife,Son and the good life
Ryu I can understand but Ken no but only this time 😂
I like how Ryu is stronger and I like how ken is faster..
Ryu and Ken look more and more homeless each game
Man you ain’t lying
Lol
Especially Ryu. 😂
They only care about the fight, even Ken and he a millionaire
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all really knock it out of the park with your videos. This was great to watch
Glad you enjoyed it thank you soo much !!
End of an era ? No way. Their paths have finally switched. Ken is viewed as the central character this time while Ryu takes a back seat.
Without Ken and Ryu, Street Fighter dies with it and that's never happening. We talking bout 2 of the greatest fighting characters in the entire history of video games!! They bigger than the game itself now.
Yeah like I said if Capcom wanted to destroy the franchise this is a way to go like some other good fighting.
They Have Been A Part Of My Whole Life , 35 Years Old & Still Try To Do The Hadouken .
I’m 39 and I completely agree. My best/childhood friend name is Ken so he always played with Ken and it’s crazy cause he’s the more flashy out in the open guy and I’m the laid back reserved guy.

42 years old here reporting for Hadouken, lol.

Ryu and Ken, the best of friends who can not see each other for years on end but pick up where they left off and that’s usually with a sparring match lol.
Ryu is always so disciplined and philosofical. Ken is pure talent super fast and strong.

Amen to that , sister!
I love the rivalry between these two it's one of the most iconic rivalries in gaming history
I thought they were friends
@@raiderking7310 they are brothers, but they both try to bring the best out of each other.
@@-sdot83 they're like brothers, not actually related.

I don't care what anyone says, you think of Street Fighters, first 2 characters that comes to mind is Ryu and Ken.
Ken and RYU will always be the main characters. Period.
Yeah I don't like the new face they are not iconic so idk what's Capcom is thinking but it's only for one series soon it'll change.
This two got me hooked in the dual hero archetype. I usually don't like stories which involve only one hero. When he has at least a recurring equal, I like the story.
You know it’s an end of a era for Ryu and Ken when there not even the face for street fighter 6 box cover art.
This is a really good video thank you :D
Glad you liked it!
Ken and Ryu are the greatest rivals in the history of fighting games, period!!!
And it's about time for them to retire now
@@b2bgood870 No way. Ryu and Ken are Street Fighter.
Ryu and Ken Rivalry is the most Iconic in Fighting Game history 👏🏿
Ryu and Ken are classic. I like how they started differ from each other starting with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (1994)
Always a great well-researched video 😎💪🏿
Goken been dead x amount of years just to come back n say “hey guys, looking good. Ya don’t really need a master, ya be ite. Later”
Thanks!
You bet! thank you soo much for the thanks !! greatly appreciated.
Back in the day they were just a copy of the same character. Until years later when tech got better and they started to make then distinctive. I've always been a Ken fan.
I think Ken love the fight more then his millions and maybe more then wife and kid.
Ken is Johny Lawrence whom is William Zabka 😮😮
if does,.. it so sad yet so excited at the same time
This is lit..Ryu vs Ken...the history...nice
I hope 6 will add Sean as a fully fledged fighter.
Rumor has it that the character you play as in the open world mode is actually based on Sean. That's Capcom's round-about way of adding him
Great video and your voice is very unique. Thank you
Thank you kindly!
I forgot about the designs and thought this was Terry Bogard vs Ryu for a sec
Can I be honest I feel like violent Ken is gonna make his return
yeah same
I hope him and evil ryu are dlc. Evil ryu vs violent ken matches online would be hype as hell
Same here
No Kage then 😂😂😂😂
@@StunningSilken kage sucked
I see capcom trying to push chin-li as the new age duo alongside ryu trying to forget ken.
I like how everyone’s go-to solution for any problem is to have a fight.
One of the best video game rivalries.
Really makes me feel old comin' from when Ryu wore a white headband to now where he dresses like Gouken and has a beard.
I think overall Street Fighter needs a reboot...latest game looks more like Splatoon mixed with Smash Brothers, rather than a street fight...
How? What do mean? New characters? New Story? It people who street fight in tournament?
Sooooooooooo cool that's why Ryu's headband is red!
What a fun video. I’d love to see another covering some other Street Fighter characters; Chun-Li, Guile, Charlie, Sakura, Juri, Ibuki, Makoto, Blanka, Poison, Hugo, Dan, Cammy, Fei Long, Vega (Balrog in Japan), Akuma (Goki in Japan), Goken, Cody, Guy, Dhalsim, Oro, Q, Urien, Gill…. Basically, everyone.
don’t be like “Street fighter is ending”
I’m not ready for this legendary franchise to end.

I've can't wait until the new street fighter come out
neither can i
Axel from s.o.r and Ken must be brothers

I have so many memories of playing this and having a group of guys playing this like 8 of us at times more at times because we would have tournaments winner stays up lol I remember winning so much I had to give my spot up to be fair the good ole days lol
Ken seems like a character Capcom try’s to nerf in story and move list.
I am hoping for a return of Sean and Sakura. Sean was a unique Shoto with no Fireball and was awesome.
what if capcom release an open world street fighter game with in-depth story telling?
I would love that as a game
As much as I like Ryu being a fighter I think he's reached an age where he should settle down a little and start a family or at least take in a disciple like Ken.
He's been a loner for far too long I say.

Facts. It would have been awesome to see Ken son, and Sean rivalry, with saurka. But Capcom will stalk the net, and milk this idea.
How did you decide what was canon and what was not? Was that all from the games or from anime as well?
hope we got Evil Ryu or more weird evil unorthodox chars
Since Ryu is Basically becoming like Gouken,I wonder if Capcom might do a storyline for Ken where he falls in the dark hado,and Akuma seeks him out,since he couldn't get ryu to submit to it and become his successor
You guys are so dedicated! 🔥
thank you soo much
I've not followed more recent sf games but without the both of them it'd be nothing.
According to The original SF, Ken is originally a Japanese.
Street fighter where fighting solves everything.
What kind of bar setup is that at 4:18? 4 plates on each side and it's almost 7 foot in the air.

Moreover, Sakura also already has experience headlining her own spinoff series in the Rival Schools games, so Luke should not be the face of the series, and, if anyone should lead the series, then instead of making just one lead character of the series, then there should be two people that are the new faces of the series, and it should be Sakura AND Luke together. Moreover, I also feel like Luke would be learning his own style from both Ken AND Ryu, though he sees Ken more frequently because, well, Ken lives closer to him than Ryu does and Ken is his possibly a relative of his, so maybe have it where Luke is a cousin of Ken and that Sakura and Luke are like pen pals that became lovers over time due to certain events that happened behind the scenes in the Street Fighter Universe.
Luke is a nope to me. Like other fighting game make who thought this was an idea will kill the series.
The street fighter series has a nice long run street fighter 6 should have a nice wrap up with the characters we grew up with, and maybe have a reboot a long time to come with characters trained under the OG’s sounds like a stretch but it would be nice
Don't you mean without further ado-ken
20:22 Man, Necalli was wasted, his story could of had so much potential for Ryu and Ken to find a new level of power 😑 oh well. The story between these two over the years has had some highs and lows but overall still solid. Now that they are the older guys, I want to see them guiding the new characters for the future and being the goal post they want to achieve
I hope Ryu can use dark hadou and power of nothingness both at the same time.
Try M.U.G.E.N, there you will find good iterations of Ryu including Shin Ryu who uses both power at once
I hope Oro takes him in
I'm looking forward to Street Fighter 6.
yes !! cant wait !!
@@TheFighterVerse Me neither. :)
Also why isn't the bottom of Ryu's feet not just pitch black from not wearing any shoes
Ken and Ryu are brothers. Pushing each other to get better. They are NOT rivals. Iori Yagami and Kyo from KOF are rivals. Know the difference. To call them rivals would mean there is a need for superiority. They dont have that. They are happy for each others feats and achievements
Well said.
What's the intro song playing in the background??😫
the sf5 theme
I remember reading in a UK supplementary gaming mag that he perfected his dragon punch in Super Street Fighter after his favourite programme ended.....Cheers the sitcom.
I have never found proof of it, is there any evidence of this.
I enjoyed watching this very much.
Its hard to keep up with STREET FIGHTER charachters and their STORYLINES.
I am just curious where to watch all the anime of SF?
Intro music?
👍🎮
This video should have more likes
Hope Ryun and ken reunite and add tag team function.
Now ryu has become a real master of his fist
they need to make another movie in the style of the alpha movie. You also did not mention why its an end of an era when they are barely honing their skills. I hate the fact that 3rd strike is actually after 4 and 5. Makes no sense why they do this instead of moving forward with the story. Looks like this series also cant find a way to kill off characters lol, bison came back and goken. But if it wasnt for this video i would not know the story. But yeah they need to make another movie in the older styles, these new styles are to pretty looking for my taste.
We need a new game with SF4 graphics / art style
loved sf4
Well, I believe Ryu and Ken are following different paths to power. Ryu while training with Oro, will learn how to combine The Power of Nothingness with Senjustu techniques. On the other hand, Ken could seek out Rose for additional training and learn how to combine The Power of Nothingness with Soul Power. These guys could work together to defeat JP during the events of Street Fighter 6. They must continue facing tough adversaries that push them to greater heights of skill and power.
They got demoted because military are promoting characters that join Guile in the air force or army
