Speaking of differences, in story a lot of characters would hold grudges against Ryu so Ryu tends to have to deal with a lot of people he's made enemies out of so essentially, Ryu has a lot of unfriendly battles.

Ryou on the other hand, same thing but for a different reason, that being that he is King of Vanguard when many feel like he doesn't deserve it and constantly challenge him for the title.

Shiroi still looks up to Ryou, and honestly didn't know much about Ryu, and only heard about how the Prince of Vanguard held an iron grip on the community at one point.
