At the end of the
first World Warrior tournament, Ryu was losing his battle against
Sagat. For a second, he embraced
the Satsui no Hadou (also known as "killing intent" or "evil
intent") and used a Metsu Shoryuken on Sagat, scarring and defeating him
with rage and hate. After this, Ryu's killing side never reappeared. Evil Ryu is "what
if" version of Ryu, not a separate entity. Despite the brief temptation
from the Satsui no Hadou, Ryu rejected it and once again studied under Master Gouken
to attempt to become as powerful as he once did as Evil Ryu.

Evil
Ryu was originally just a palette swap of Ryu and/or Akuma,
but his design has developed immensely over the years. The idea of the
design itself is quite inspiring, actually.... There is evil in us all, even
deep inside Street Fighter's
#1 good guy, Ryu. ;) Whether we "act upon" our evil side is our
choice, and a battle we all face. Deep stuff. ;)
Evil Ryu has always been a fun-to-use alternate version of Ryu,
especially for those of us who never get tired of using shoto characters. Capcom
progressively fleshed out Evil Ryu each sequel he appeared in. My personal
favorite is easily his appearance in Capcom VS SNK 1 & 2.
He looks so "silently" pissed off and badass in that game... which
is how his design should be, in my opinion. His return in SSF4: AE rendition is
halfway decent for the most part, more notably his
moveset. However, I'm definitely not a fan of his stupidly spiky hair (DBZ
much?). :/ So are those little red pyramids on his head, or what? . . . "Classic"
Evil Ryu FTW.
