Ryu was the winner of the first Street Fighter tournament. In the final battle, he was on the ground after being knocked down by Sagat. Sagat reached out to take Ryu's hand — feeling he had won, but the Satsui No Hadou overtook Ryu and he performed a Metsu Shoryuken, giving the Muay Thai champion his infamous scar.Shadaloo had nothing to do with the first tournament, it was ran by Sagat, prior to him joining the Shadaloo organization.Adon and Sagat are the only confirmed characters that Ryu faced. This was backed up in Street Fighter Alpha 2 when Gen and Ryu battle, they speak as if they've never met before, even though Gen was in the original Street Fighter game.Some time after this tournament, Akuma challenged Gouken to a fight. Gouken was supposedly killed, but of course resurfaced in Street Fighter 4.
