Bound by Shared Goals and Sense of Justice

  • Chun-Li seeks to destroy Shadaloo to avenge her father
  • Ryu wanders the world aimlessly training to perfect his fighting skills
  • But both are committed to fighting injustice and protecting the helpless
  • This strong moral compass brings them together against underworld threats

"Light and shadow dance together amidst the chaos. Yet two forces shine through it all – hope and justice." – Ancient Street Fighter Proverb

Kindred Spirits With Peerless Talent

  • As skilled martial artists, Chun-Li and Ryu connect as kindred warriors
  • Their formal training and raw talent earns deep mutual respect
  • Few can match their dedication to the craft and art of combat
  • This forges an unbreakable, if subtle bond between the two fighters

"When two paths converge for the greater good, a bond forms that can withstand any hardship." – Gen, Legendary Street Fighter master

So while fans may wish for romance, their relationship endures because at its core lies an implicit understanding between two people devoted to justice and their craft. Over chaotic decades, this makes Ryu and Chun-Li‘s alliance truly one of gaming‘s most legendary.
