What is Ryu’s Age in Street Fighter 6?

It’s easier to determine how old Ryu is in Street Fighter 6 since he’s been around for as long as the game has been out in the franchise. We can remember when we picked him up at an arcade and to this day he’s still popular. If we’re looking at how old Ryu is we’re going to have to go back to the game Street Fighter 3. This will give us an idea of how old he is because in the game it is said that he’s 33.

In Street Fighter 6, if we’re going by the timeline from Street Fighter 3, this would make Ryu be in his 40s. We’re not just guessing on this one. Capcom has stated that Ryu is in his 40s and to reflect this is a tweet from game director Takayuki Nakayama. Due to us knowing that Ryu was 33 Street Fighter 3 and years have passed, we can only assume, Ryu is now in his 40s.
