Evil Ryu is not in Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition, but is making a special appearance in Puzzle and Dragons. If I were getting clobbered by these puzzles, I'd probably turn into my evil form too. For the uninitiated, Puzzle and Dragons is a mobile game from GungHo Online Entertainment. It's unique gameplay blends puzzle gameplay with RPG elements by having you doing match-3 to use abilities against boss creatures. It's an addictive formula that can make hours fly by in an instant.
