Stan Lau’s amazing Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition work comes back with another round of gorgeous artwork and Stan’s self professed love for all things Ryu. Hit the jump to see the pieces and to read more!

Here comes my favorite set of all, simply because my favorite Third Strike character, Ryu, is in it. The truth is, I am an old-school Street Fighter player and my playing style is still very much stuck in the era of Street Fighter II. I can’t execute moves as fast as the kids in the arcade these days due to my aging fingers, and I feel that Ryu is more manageable with his powerful attacks. A least I can still stand a chance to win a few games even without employing Daigo’s crazy parrying skills. I always see Ryu as a no-nonsense and all-serious fighter, therefore I choose a low and solid stance for him, with determination on his face.
