This song elicits so much emotion out of me, the pain that I lived through for the past 10 years, sent to a group home by my mother, seeing me lose my job, finding out that my dad was gay, dropping out of college, being teased relentlessly at college. But, this song, also offers me the fire and passion to see me through the rough times, and perservere. I am so close to graduating from college, and even though it will have taken 12 years, I will have made it!
OMG, man! I was working as a student worker in a science planetarium when I first heard this around TEN YEARS AGO. I can't believe I'm hearing this now again. It was off a Capcom website that I heard this but it only played to the part 1:07. Now I get to hear the extended version after all these years. Thanks for sharing.
Its the day Ryu decided to walk away from his father's wishes, and train to become the world's greatest fighter. He told him to never come back if he left... but he grabbed his things and left anyway... its what he had to do... hardest decision he ever had to make... PERFECT tempo for a scene like that.
I'm not sure if Mr Lee Kyung-Won made the arrangement but the interpretation at least is admirable. The arrangment for this song is AMAZING, i love it.
that's epic! my version is training to the point of total exhaustion in the rain, so you can defeat your next opponent or he'll wipe out the world. no one else believes you can do it, but you press on anyway.
My friend has the actual CD album. We picked it up at Yaohan Plaza in Little Tokyo back in L.A. The best songs are Ryu's, Ken's, Guile's, Vega's and Sagat's. Now all I need to do is have my friend find it and burn me a copy. LOL!
"The path of a warrior is a hard one, but I must train harder to be a true master." That's what the song is saying. Personally I prefer a faster tempo, but it's still awesome none the less.
Ryu = Precision & Sheer power attack ! Ken = Stylish & Speedy attack ! Gouki = Power & Speedy attack ! From this 3 which character are you gonna choose ? Mine is Gouki, so what's yours favorite character ?
people who complain about speed of the song .. the original is much faster and action-based this one is intended to be slow for the sake of showing a sad theme both are great .. but I prefer the sad one :P
this song is so pimpin I've literally used it on girls in my room. they're always like 'this song is sooo romantic ;D' and they always hit me after when I tell them it's Ryu music. a testament to how much of a girls man he is! :D
@crazy4sian however if you never work to become good at things you cant expect to beat someone who has been truely dedicated at something all his life just because youv got the stronger will
There's a difference between being overly critical of poor grammar and pointing out when a statement is completely incomprehensible. Basically, he said he had no idea what you were trying to say. And I don't think anyone else did, either.
Ryu isn't evil, the Masatsui No Hadou Ryu is the awakened form of ansatsuken. Evil Ryu is a stereotype,rather a mistranslation of the power he was seeking to become as strong as Akuma to defeat him
@crazy4sian really? I mean an honest question, as a young man I must ask if this is really the case because sometimes it feels like I was made out to be delusional in such a cold world.

@crazy4sian this by far is the most influential speech I've ever heard...thank you
@crazy4sian probably the best assessment of Ryu's character that I have heard.
If anyone doesn't like this epic song then they have no soul whatsoever.
i love ryu and his song but original one ..not this shit version
sounds like a 80's 90's action dramatic scene lol
Great nonetheless :D
Soo true
It would also be great to use when you're coming home from a long journey.
This is Ryu's ending theme from SF2 and it is flawless.
Its the day Ryu decided to walk away from his father's wishes, and train to become the world's greatest fighter. He told him to never come back if he left... but he grabbed his things and left anyway... its what he had to do... hardest decision he ever had to make...
PERFECT tempo for a scene like that.
For anyone who wants this its called: Yuji Toriyama - Hearts Of Fire ~Ryu Stage~
from the album STREET FIGHTER II ALPH-LYLA with YUJI TORIYAMA
sounds like hes going into battle for the last time. This is arguably the best theme of ryu Ive heard
what a gorgeous shot of Ryu.
Only one word to describe this masterpiece: Epic!
This is awesome. May be the best version I have heard to date.
This is one of the best things ive ever heard. Ever.
Sounds like it fits in a flashback scene. Which makes it even more awesome.
I feel an 80's power ballad coming on....awesome!!!
this song makes me cry... those were the days when owning a family computer is the king of the hill.
fucking amazing..learned it..and my fingers hurt so much ..played it so many times! ..best version ive heard!
soulfull, tugs at heart. emotional beat.
Is it gay to have listened to this song everyday and still have it pump me up?? I really don't care, this song is the shit
The love scene version. Digging it.
WOW!!!! That sounded really good! Your rendition of Ryu's theme belongs on the video game itself. Good job.
I'm not sure if Mr Lee Kyung-Won made the arrangement but the interpretation at least is admirable.
The arrangment for this song is AMAZING, i love it.
I'm getting flash backs !! Nice job. Hadouken !
This rendition brings manly tears of mangst to my eyes.
that's epic! my version is training to the point of total exhaustion in the rain, so you can defeat your next opponent or he'll wipe out the world. no one else believes you can do it, but you press on anyway.
beatiful, man you got 5 stars, thank you for posting this!!

Great Music! I love it!

@9Cheff1 And you're absolutely right. Men don't cry, they shed tears.
I turned this tune to csb and have put it to play in the trials of SSF4AE, to be calm with clear head...The original trial music is nerve breaking...
Looks like someone loves street fighter! Nice guitar remix!
This is an awesome version!
Could you give me the link to download it please!
Thanks in advance!
This is an epic version of Ryu's theme... You can feel the power of him making one of his clutch come backs from this!
I would love to play this... Gonna try to figure it out.
Relamente impresionante!!! muy buen sentimiento!!! buena expresion del tema... Felicitaciones!!!
I love Street Frs!!!
Augh, I'm being consumed by nostalgia. Good stuff.
this man is my inspiration
wow, ur really good dude, that sounded great
É esse tipo de musica que deixa um jogo como um classico imortal!!!
Ryu salvando a infancia dos gamers
5 star
Keep with the good work!
Shit makes me miss my childhood :/
Shit makes me sad for what kids have today :/
Best pic of Ryu I've seen on TH-cam so far, and that's sayin' something. Still, the music needs a bit more metal, speed, and edge.
@crazy4sian Very well said my friend. People trying to disagree with what your saying fail to understand the meaning of your post.
For the love of Ryu :D
that means ryu = god?
Man I thought this was gonna be more uptempo. This almost puts me to sleep. It sounds more like a bad 80's ballad.
Awesome.
0:50 - 0:55 (INSANE)
This is the perfect song to make love to. Take a moment to listen.
This some heat 🔥
beautiful song
Pure Nostalgia miss my childhood!
ryu's theme n ken's theme the best ones
+danmurdock777
I agree but VEGA gets a shout too
Very Good Congratulations!!!!! :D
Holy shit i havent heard this in nearly 20 years. Back when i did karate i used to do my kata to this. Had it burned to a cd n everything
Awesome! I always thought the song was better slow. ^_^
@crazy4sian Wow... those words with this song would make the best anime ending...
id like to know where you got the mp3 please, this is an awesome mix but needs to be faster by a few beats
Ryu = Precision & Sheer power attack !
Ken = Stylish & Speedy attack !
Gouki = Power & Speedy attack !
From this 3 which character are you gonna choose ? Mine is Gouki, so what's yours favorite character ?
great tune
people who complain about speed of the song .. the original is much faster and action-based
this one is intended to be slow for the sake of showing a sad theme
both are great .. but I prefer the sad one :P
Really nice .. where is this song from?
the best guitar arranged stage is KEN! i swear listen 2 it!
AWESOMENESS x1,000,000,000
I picture someone walking away slowly with their back's turned to their loved ones
@Badokami
dude, that sounds like how Ryu is the wanderer , going from one place to another .
this song is so pimpin I've literally used it on girls in my room.
they're always like 'this song is sooo romantic ;D'
and they always hit me after when I tell them it's Ryu music.
a testament to how much of a girls man he is! :D
@crazy4sian however if you never work to become good at things you cant expect to beat someone who has been truely dedicated at something all his life just because youv got the stronger will
awesome man!
I got to admite you have a point, one valid point, i'm going think about it you say ok, i apologize if i offended you with my comments
EPIC!!! CAPCOM FOREVER
I really like this version

I'm only 19, I played SF2 on my gameboy pocket and SNES.
@crazy4sian truly beautiful words
who re-did this song
this is amazing =D
@crazy4sian man truly great words
Reminds me of Metallica. Sick mix!
Does anyone have an mp3 version of this? Man i could use some good remixes like this.
Do you have the chords for me? Nice job dude!
golden track
nice high quality pic
RYU WIN!!!!, PERFECT!!!!!
BEAutiful!
Its kinda sad.....like an unobtainable goal, a quest for something that can never be accomplished.
Depressing, but awesome non the less
don't forget the Ryu vs Sagat song in beginning of Street Fighter The Animated Movie
epic opening for a movie
Simplesmente sensacional, nostalgia do caralho!
GREAT!
photo is awesome
I Like this
Ryu isn't evil, the Masatsui No Hadou Ryu is the awakened form of ansatsuken. Evil Ryu is a stereotype,rather a mistranslation of the power he was seeking to become as strong as Akuma to defeat him
source of this awesome theme?
@crazy4sian really? I mean an honest question, as a young man I must ask if this is really the case because sometimes it feels like I was made out to be delusional in such a cold world.
Does anyone else think of the old 80's and 90's Hollywood action movies (with the tragic hero) when they hear this?
Kinda like the 90's action films, where the main guy is at the turning point of his career.
Volume so loud to a point where my ears could bleed :)
Bison!!!!!!!! Sho Ryuuu Kennn!!!!!
SirMetalNight6
Which Vega? The claw guy or Pscycho Crusher Guy?
Demasiado bueno
@xajik3
I think it means Fire Ball...I'm not sure...
