One of the best things about Street Fighter 6 is the variety of outfits and costumes each character has in the game. Among them, players can also unlock the retro or alternative costumes of the characters from the original Street Fighter games by reaching the maximum bond level by giving gifts. In this guide, you will learn how to unlock the retro costume of Ryu in Street Fighter 6 with two methods.
How To Unlock Ryu’s Retro Costume in Street Fighter 6
The characters that have been in the original and classic Street Fighter games have an alternative outfit which is basically their classic costume but with better visuals. Each of them can be unlocked by the same two methods but the variety of each will differ. In this article, we’ll focus on how to get Ryu’s Retro Costume.
The two methods mentioned above are to either play and progress through the game or save your time and instead spend real money to get them from the in-game shop. In order to unlock each of these outfits you have to spend 50 coins which is approximately $23. But if you don’t want to spend really, money here’s the free method.
To get the classic outfit of Ryu you have to reach the bond level of 100 with Ryu in the World Tour mode of the game. But it is not as simple as just jumping in the game and starting grinding. The first thing you should know is that Ryu will only be unlocked in Chapter 8 of World Tour, so you have to play quite a bit to reach this part of the game.
In Chapter 8, finish E. Honda’s mission, and after that is complete use some travel tickets to travel to the Genbu Temple. After you’ve arrived a cutscene will be played that introduces Ryu to the game. Then, like every other mentor in the game, you have to fight him. The recommended level of fighting Ryu is 25.
Regardless of whether you win or lose, Ryu will be available as a mentor afterward and you can train under his guidance to learn his movements. The next step is to reach the maximum bond level with him which can be achieved by doing many things.

Make sure to use his movesets in the fights and engage in a sparring session with him. Don’t forget the gifts, as they have the best effect but they cost you some money. His favorite gift is the Instant Soba which has a better effect. Once you’ve reached the maximum level, you can select the retro outfit of Ryu when you are selecting characters in a match.
Street Fighter 6 is now available for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
