Street Fighter’s Ryu, Chun-Li and Akuma join Ubisoft’s Brawlhalla

Street fighter veterans Ryu and Chun-Li, relatively fresh from cameos in Fourteen days and two Power Rangers fighting games join Ubisoft’s version of the Super Smash Bros. formula, the free platform fighter brawl. Akuma comes to brawl also as a playable fighter, but the real news lies in the mass reduction of the “ryu number” from dozens of video game characters and painter Bob Ross. (I explain.)

the Ryu number is the closest equivalent of video games to the Six Degrees by Kevin Bacon

Challenge. The number indicates how far Ryu is from other video game characters by determining whether Ryu beat a character in one video game and if that person then beat another character (or some other form of contact with him or her in a separate game) would have) . Given Ryu’s wide range of video game appearances, especially in crossover dishes like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Fourteen days, Project X-Zone, and the Marvel vs. Capcom games let you connect Ryu to just about anyone.

In one extreme example, Ryu number mathematicians associated Ryu with Elysium disco‘s Kim Kitsuragi, thank you Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario‘s time machine, and civilization 5.

Ryu itself has a Ryu number of 0 while Chun-Li has a Ryu number of 1. And thanks to Ryu, Chun-Li and Akuma’s appearance in brawl

, a whole new world of Ryu low-integer numbering options awaits.

See, brawl is practically Ubisoft’s version of Super Smash Bros. The platform fighter was officially released in 2017 and features dozen of original characters (and Ubisoft’s own Rayman), as well as crossover appearances for its list of legends, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, Shovel Knight and The Rock and John Cena from WWE. It’s this TMNT connection that brings Ryu Bob Ross closer, because the Turtles have also performed in the MOBA at Hi-Rez Studios Beat

next to the famous gentle painter.

brawl also has crossover skins from Adventure time and Steven Universe, some of which will also appear in the Warner Bros. Crossover Brawler next year MultiVersus. That means Arya Stark is out game of Thrones will soon have a ryu number of only 2.

Up to this time, brawl Fans can enjoy seeing Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma in their fighting game of choice. The arrival of the Street Fighter coincides with an in-game event that features a new mode called Street Brawl that takes on Street Fighter’s health bars and adds other aesthetic effects inspired by Capcom’s fighting game franchise. brawl is available for Android, iOS, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.
