Ryu arrived in the Marvel Universe side by side with his best friend and fighting rival Ken. All of the Street Fighters were curious as to what led them to this new universe, but Ryu's mind was on one thing: the chance to compete against greater fighters and improve his skill. Much to his surprise, when he used his Hadouken in the Marvel Universe, it resulting energy burst was huge in comparison to his Hadoukens in his home universe. Even more than that, when he gather enough ki to use his Shinkuu Hadouken move, it did not come out as one giant ball of force, but rather as a beam as his ki continued to pour out of him. He quickly assimilated these new found abilities into his personal fighting style. Very little else changed for Ryu, however. His strongest Shoryuken rose very high, and his Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku still knocked down opponents with one hit. He later learn to focus his ki into a single devastating Shoryuken attack known as the Shin Shoryuken Hyper Combo.
When the events of Marvel vs. Capcom occurred, something strange happened to Ryu for unknown reasons. The presence of Onslaught created an imbalance of the energy responsible for summoning the new Capcom fighters into the Marvel universe. As a result, several Street Fighters were forced to return. Among the returning fighters were Ken and Akuma. However, as they left, a portion of their fighting spirit remained in the Marvel universe and quickly gravitated to Ryu. Ryu suddenly discovered that he could tap into either one of the spirits at the cost of some super move energy and transform the subtle details of his fighting style into those adopted by Ken and Akuma. During this time, he came to be known as "Complete Change" Ryu. When Ken and Akuma returned to the Marvel Universe in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the portions of their spirits that resided in Ryu returned to their original owners.
