Hot Ryu: Capcom adopts the name for Street Fighter V’s former Battle Costume Ryu

26 Jul 2016

Who said Capcom isn’t in touch with gamers today?

The publisher has recently officially adopted the name “Hot Ryu” in place of “Battle Costume Ryu”, a descriptor for one of the popular character’s costume sets. You know the one — it’s above.

The moniker has begun to make its way to official Street Fighter products.

Good ol’ licensing.

Hot Ryu currently features in Street Fighter V on Windows PC and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
