The Evolution of Ken and Ryu
I’ve found this really neat article about this very subject, The Evolution of Ken and Ryu. Actually, I’ve been wanting to write something just like it for the longest time, but since I don’t have the entire Street Fighter collection within my grasp, I decided not to push through with it.
Here’s the introduction to the article on GamesRadar written by Tyler Wilde:
Ken and Ryu are cultural icons. Legends. Even most non-gamers, assuming they have at least a cursory knowledge of ’90s pop culture, can recognize them.
Ten years after Street Fighter III, Street Fighter IV is about to cement the formidable duo into the collective consciousness of a new generation. In celebration, we’re taking a look at how they became legends in the first place, one game at a time.
The story then goes on to detail, as the introduction says, the changes in appearance and costume of our street fighting duo, from Street Fighter to Street Fighter EX, from the various Capcom Versus arcade games to comic books and graphic novels. Whew! Talk about history.
Go check out the story. I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun reading it.
