« SSF4: AE - Evil Ryu Officially Releases This Week »
Kumo
Several months after Oni and Evil Ryu were leaked across several American arcades, Capcom revealed to Famitsu that Evil Ryu will be making his official debut in arcades starting March 25. According to 1UP's report, Oni won't be releasing day-and-date with Evil Ryu, instead being released "a bit later on." Here's an excerpt from the story over on 1UP:
"Each skill on Evil Ryu launches more slowly than regular Ryu, but tends to have more force," wrote Japan's Famitsu magazine in their coverage. "The control feel is nearly the same as Ryu, but the basic attacks that get used the most, like crouching medium or heavy kicks, launch more slowly as well. On the other hand, the opening after firing a hadouken is smaller, which seemed to make him pretty strong in projectile combat. Like Akuma, he doesn't have much energy, so fighting with him using the same style as Ryu will get you defeated pretty quickly."
More news on Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, as well as the rest of Capcom's fighting game lineup, is expected when Captivate kicks off in April.
