Ry-Who?

Between both Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix coming to consoles soon, as well as the imminent release of Street Fighter: The Awful Movie on Blu-Ray, now's a great time to look back and both cringe and laugh at some of the series' missteps. Always up for some self-deprecation, Capcom's own Chris Kramer dug up an excellent feature on the Japanese site IT Media that provides a visual history of the evolution of Ryu.

I could try and act like I know what I'm talking about with observations about the way the Street Fighter Alpha art style would go on to influence future incarnations, but really, this is just an opportunity to ridicule that original Street Fighter art. Say what you want about the creative bankruptcy of today's video games, that is just embarrassing.
