## Description
Exceed: Street Fighter – Ryu Box throws you straight into the arena, transforming the adrenaline of fighting games into a super tactical and fast-paced tabletop experience. Forget hunting for rare cards or random boosters; here, you have everything you need to start the brawl! This is a complete game within Season 3 of the Exceed system, bringing the legendary fighters from Capcom's Street Fighter franchise to your table. Inside this box, you'll find a heavy-hitting cast, each with their unique combat style, faithful to the video games. Ryu, for example, is a well-rounded fighter, a master of counter-attacks, and boasts enviable mobility. Sagat, on the other hand, is a mid-range strategist, dangerous with his projectiles and capable of reusing special moves to keep opponents at bay. If you prefer a more aggressive style, Akuma is your go-to: an 'all-in' fighter with devastating special moves, but who takes greater risks. And for those who prefer brute force, Zangief is an unflinching grappler who gains even more power and speed when up close and personal with his opponent. Get ready to choose your champion and show who's the king of the street!
