Riu48 was a longtime MK player from as far back as the 3D days. You may remember him as part of the NYC MK9 scene back in the day, as a Johnny/Sonya player.

RIP Riu.

I remember his Sonya.

R.I.P, thanks for bringing some MK9 hype!

Riu48 was once the character moderator for the MK9 Sonya boards. While we never met, I was given the privilege of exchanging messages with him through this very forum.

When I saw the news today, I couldn't believe my eyes. Just...how...?

We will miss you terribly, Riu.

RIP Riu48. You were a one of a kind. Fuck cancer.

TYM & the MK scene was a better place because of the few like him.

My little tribute:

Also mad love for Arez & Booya...2 more we've lost entirely way too soon. I wasn't around here when we lost them but was alerted to what happened. Life is fragile. Be kind, be love. #Friendship
