Connections

-Both are widely influential figures in both anime and fighting games respectively with their sequels. While not the first, they were the first notable success. (Street Fighter II is what launched fighting games into the mainstream while Dragon Ball Z was considered the gateway anime for most of the world outside of Japan.)

-They are martial artists that wish to face incredibly strong fighters and are known to compete in many tournaments. (Self explanatory)

-They will go as far as to challenge powerful warriors of other universes just to find worthy opponents. (See pretty much any Capcom crossover involving Ryu and see the Universe 6 Arc and Tournament of Power from Dragon Ball Super)

-They are known to have a transformation that is based around the power of rage and anger. (Evil Ryu and Super Saiyan Goku)

-They are also known to have another "transformation" that is a state of consciousness that through spiritual and mental refinement and the power to act without being attached to emotions and thought, free of fear, anger, pride, and ego. (The Power of Nothingness for Ryu and Ultra Instinct for Goku)

-Said state of form is the opposite side of the coin of the power their edgy rival opposes with their power relating to said anger, pride, and ego. (Vegeta has Ultra Ego that uses the power of Destruction while Akuma has the Satsui no Hado)

-Said power is something the two have at least tapped into to a very limited degree. (Ryu has tapped into the Satsui no Hado for attacks like the Metsu Hadouken and Metsu Shoryuken while Goku used a weaker copy of the Hakai on Fused Zamasu.)
