Ryu is once again voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Kyle Hebert}} in English and {{s|wikipedia|Hiroki Takahashi}} in Japanese, with their portrayals from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' being repurposed for the English and Japanese releases of ''Ultimate'', respectively. In the Chinese and Korean versions, Ryu uses his English voice clips.

Ryu is ranked 36th out of 82 on the current tier list, placing him in the A- tier and two places below his [[Echo Fighter]], {{SSBU|Ken}}. This is a noticeable drop from his 11th/12th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'' where he was tied with {{SSB4|Marth}}.
Ryu is ranked 36th out of 82 on the current tier list, placing him in the A- tier and two places below his [[Echo Fighter]], {{SSBU|Ken}}. This is a noticeable drop from his 11th/12th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'' where he was tied with {{SSB4|Marth}}. Ryu has a strong combo game due to his auto turn around mechanic and ability to special cancel out of several of his moves. His multitude of combos gives him a strong advantage state and high damage output. His Hadouken (the Shakunetsu, in particular) is well-known for playing his neutral and suits his defensive playstyle. The rest of his specials all serve use as they are single hit moves that are good for KOs and combo finishers.


Despite these strengths, Ryu has some weaknesses. His mobility is subpar so his approach options are limited and it forces him to play more defensively. His recovery is also exploitable and linear with Tatsumaki Senpukyaku and Shoryuken traveling predictable distances for the opponent to edgeguard. Despite having a combo breaker in the form of Focus Attack, it can be broken through multi-hit moves making his disadvantage state below average. Ryu is also a difficult character to master due to his different playstyle with the special cancel and auto turnaround mechanic.
Ryu has seen some presentation and strong results from players, such as {{Sm|Asimo}} and {{Sm|Ikan}}, doing well with him at majors and supermajors.
