Why did Ryu abandon his red hair w/ white streaks hair style?  Does he acknowledge his punk roots nowadays?

[Dicer]

Gratz to the winner...

[slinkyturd]

Congratz. Now play the shit out of it!

Why did Ryu abandon his red hair w/ white streaks hair style?  Does he acknowledge his punk roots nowadays?

He was young in Street Fighter. In the Zero games you see his hair darkening and he looks more mature. In SFII he is even older looking and his hair has darkened further. They actually addressed this with the Alpha/Zero series.

Ken is the one who bleaches/dyes his hair, which is obvious by his thick black eyebrows.

I probably played SFZ2 on Saturn more than any of the others,  I didn't notice the transition happening.  I'll have to check that out.  Besides, doesn't hair usually get lighter as time marches on?  Seems like it was definitely dyed red and washed out later to reveal black hair.

Many redheads turn brown or browner as they grow up.

Most blonde hair turns radically darker. I have lots of both in my family. I'm one of the rare exceptions where my blonde hair didn't get darker or  turn light brown.

Look at the coverart of Zero 2 to see a good transitional piece of artwork. Even within the Zero series Ryu's hair starts out very red and ends up brown.

We are applying genetics and logic to a franchise where a guy is able to stretch his arms across a screen or a giant green dude with neon orange hair electrocutes people on touch.

Congrats to T2K and everybody bow to Le Tigre Noir for doing the giveaway.

The thing is, people did talk about how different Ryu looked in Street Fighter after SFII became a mega hit and they asked "if it's called SFII, does that mean there was a SF 1?" So when they decided to do a prequel instead of SFIII, they filled in lots of blanks and backstories.

Remember, this is an industry that felt the need to change the profession of Jumpman from carpenter to plumber after pipes became involved and actually developed a story for Pac Man.
