ShanTheMan - I always thought ken was a brown haired white guy until recently the new games really make him look super azn
Kens not white?
Wow... You think you know someone and boom.
Shit...i meant Ryu. Ken definitely is a cracka
Seriously, how many white guys named "Ryu" do you know who rep Japan in the world fighting tournament?
Well fuck I got the game as a kid. I just never thought about it. All the fighting tournament guys I knew growing up were named cletus or skeeter. Only asians I knew were named alex and rae chon.
Ken has a white father and Japanese mother, he is half Japanese. In the anime (if you are an anime fan, watch it!) Ryu is pronounced Ree you, but I always pronounced it was Rye you. Vtfu, for the first link. Upon my research it is based on Yoshiji Soeno because he fought Thai fighters (in Thailand, like Ryu did with Sagat) and than fought in an all Japan karate tournament where there were people of different martial arts such as boxing, kung fu and muay thai.
In conclusion, Shoni Carter uses the martial art style invented by Ryu.
NCar - Yoshiji Soeno, the founder of shidokan karate, an offshoot of kyokushin. I see that he is the basis but I can't quite see how or why, anyone got an article or link that would help me clarify?
