{{quote|''"Just how many of you Hadoken-throwers are there, anyway?"''|'''Fei Long''' on Gouken, ''[[Street Fighter IV|Super Street Fighter IV]]''}}
Perhaps the most basic form of [[Fighting Game]] character. Usually [[Jack of All Stats]], this fighter's two most notable [[Special Attack|Special Attacks]] are a fireball or other projectile attack, and a rising physical attack, usually an uppercut (The standard versions of these are the [[Energy Ball|Hadouken]] and [[Shoryuken]]). Wearing a ''gi'' or headband is optional. As you may have guessed, this character is essentially "inspired by" Ryu, the protagonist of the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.
Note that having a projectile and something vaguely resembling an uppercut will get this label slapped on a character regardless of which moves are actually their most notable (A "true" Shotoclone also uses the same Quarter-Circle Forward and Dragon Punch (Forward+QCF) joystick motions respectively).
Line 56:
* Hoya from Viccom's other fighting game, ''The Eye of Typhoon''.
* Johnny Cage in ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' since ''[[Mortal Kombat 2]]''. Liu Kang is [[Jack of All Stats]], wears a headband, shoots fireballs (though commands are different), and shares some similarities with Bruce Lee. Ryu was planned to be remodeled after Kenshiro from the Fist of the North Star, who was also modeled after Bruce Lee.
* ''Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors''
** Rolf is [[Jack of All Stats]] and has the same special move motions.
** Bonus-kun from the same game and ''[[Waku Waku 7]]'' is a flat-out parody of Ryu, being basically a sentient punching bag with Ryu's headband and moveset. Also, from the second game, there's Rai, who has a ''Shoryuken''-like uppercut move, but a projectile move similar to Terry Bogard's Power Wave and Round Wave moves. And Arina.
Line 62:
* Max from ''Power Quest''. However, it was published in Japan as ''Gekitō Power Modeler'' by '''Capcom'''.
* Neo and Geo in ''Joy Mech Fight'', but with rapid kicks like Chun-Li's Lightning Kick. However, Joy Mech Fight appears to be paying tribute to Capcom's Mega Man and Street Fighter franchises.
* Mario, Luigi, and Dr. Mario in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''
* Eiji Shinjo and Kayin Amoh from ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden]]'' are basically [[Ryu and Ken]] with swords. Kayin even incorporates more kicks in his style like Ken does in later ''Street Fighter'' games. There's also Sho Shinjo, who is basically the Akuma of the series.
* Batsu (and all versions thereof) and Hideo Shimazu in ''[[Rival Schools]]''. Sakura from ''Street Fighter'' also makes an appearance. In the original information for the game, Capcom said that Hideo copied Ryu's moves and claimed them for himself, but this seems to have been dropped in the final release.
Line 68:
** In ''[[Tatsunokovs Capcom]]'', Batsu refers to Ryu's fighting style as "Shimazu fighting style", and says "it seems like everyone's using it these days."
** In ''Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2'', Hinata Wakaba claims to be a student of the "Masters style of Karate", a reference to Ken Masters of course, which explains why some of her special moves have a flame effect to them.
* In [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] games, Ryu, Ken, Dan, Akuma, Sakura, Morrigan, and Batsu all put in appearances, as do [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Cyclops]], [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]], [[Captain America (comics)]], Ippatsuman, and the aforementioned Terry and Ryo.
** With ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' approaching, it also looks like [[Deadpool]] will be joining the list, courtesy of his ability to perform THE Shoryuken carrying over from the comics and gunslinging habits.
*** In a sense. His Shoryuken is merely a [[Launcher Move]] with little horizontal range (much like Dan's Koryuken) and his guns have more functionality as they're rapid fire SMGs and he can aim them forward, low (on the ground), diagonally up, and diagonally down (in the air). Deadpool is more of a subversion if anything, but who ever said that ''[[Crazy Awesome|Deadpool]]'' would play by the rules in the first place?
