*His series rose to fame, as well as catching on as the fundamental competitive 2D fighting game throughout the world, grew demand for ports to home consoles from the arcades; not only did Nintendo provide an answer to this demand, but Street Fighter II remains to be one of Capcom's Platinum selling titles for consoles in its history, selling over 6.3 million cartridges in that period of time. His inclusion to the Smash series can also be seen as a sign of mediation and reconciliation amongst Smash fans and competitive fighters; despite the light natured context of Sakurai's statement that Smash officially "isn't a fighting game", debates over whether Smash is a fighting game remain infamously rife to the point that some Smash and fighting game fans remain divided between another in the video game community.

*Ryu, alongside [[Mega Man]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Link]], [[Little Mac]], [[Snake]], [[Bayonetta]], [[Cloud Strife]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Pac-Man]], is one of the only characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that has appeared in other fighting games.

*Given that ''Street Fighter'' is itself a fighting game series, Ryu is the second of two characters in the Super Smash Bros. series to have originated in a fighting game, the first being [[Little Mac]].
*Ryu's headband was originally white in color, as seen in the first ''Street Fighter'' as well as the ''Street Fighter Alpha'' series. His now iconic red headband was a gift from Ken, given to him during one of their sparring matches, as a reminder to keep focused on the heart of battle. This plot point was inspired by ''Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie'' wherein a scene depicts Ken accidentally injuring Ryu during a sparring match and giving Ryu his red hairband as a bandage.
