Bearded Ryu, previously known as Battle Costume Ryu, apparently, is now officially called Hot Ryu, according to Capcom. The Street Fighter V costume became super popular across the internet when it was originally revealed, with many fans dubbing the outfit 'Hot Ryu' due to the fact he isn't wearing a top and has rather stylish facial hair.
The riveting news was reported by Polygon managing editor Michael McWhertor over on Twitter, supposedly sparking fangirl-like reactions from fans of the wandering fighter. In any case, we wish Ryu the best of luck in his potential plaid shirt modelling career.
What do you make of Hot Ryu? Is he really that hot, or does he need a shave? Tell us you prefer Ken's disgusting Street Fighter V mug in the comments section below.

So now when people pick this outfit on the character select screen the announcer will say Hot Ryu? Lol
Wow it must be a slow news day if you are making articles about characters facial hair. . Next article we have an interview with Duck Dynasty stars and what they use to keep their beards manageable.
I don't swing that way but if I did, I would.
I wish it was his default outfit for SFV, U prefer the likes of Dhalsim, Guile, Bison and Vega where their still the classic iconic characters you remember but look different enough to feel new where's Ryu, Chun Li and Zangeif haven't changed at all.
I must say based on the upcoming outfits, I think someone at Capcom is a massive Chun Li fan because she seems to be getting the best ones.
@Utena-mobile people actually use the male characters in Dead or Alive? Crazy
He is actually hot, at least for me. It makes me feel weird... I used this costume (per order bonus, not paying for anything cosmetic) to endure the 100 matches survival mode and get the platinum trophy! So yay for useful hormones...errr.
Well I would certainly take him for a ride
Ryu would be the worst significant other ever.
Want to train at the dojo? I'll be at the dojo......I'm trying to find the way, I must understand the way, I must understand this Satsui no Hado within me,...............want to train?........let's go for a walk,........so we can find a good place to spar.........I must find the way - to train, etc, etc.
@sub12 "should we go get us some brunch or just take it easy at home, honey?"
"The answer lies in the heart of battle."
-> domestic violence.
Well Ryu would be a very agreeable partner I guess, Me: "Can I get this" Ryu "shoryuken".
I prefer KOF14's disgusting mug. Prolly wont try to nickel and dime me for extra outfits or characters or stages.
I'll take Ryu any which way 😍
maybe if he had some body hair too
@Utena-mobile LOL.
E Honda is more my type, but you wouldn't want him sat on your face on a hot summers day.
Chun Li ftw.
Ryu is like so hot right now...
@Rudy_Manchego especially since he just recently turned 52.
Can't get any hotter than that Chun-Li pre-order DLC costume!
