There actually isn't such a thing as a shoto clone really, its a common myth.

shoto isn't the name of Ryus martial art it actually starts with an "A"

...second off Dataeast created the fighting game craze in arcades with Karate Champ then Streetfighter 1 came out and Capcrom copied/stole/innovated the white and red karate characters from champ to create Ryu and Ken. Thats an actual fact. Why say shoto why not just Karate it would be more accurate.

also Kyo isnt really a Ryu shoto rip off he only ever had a dragon punch. Ryos pretty original as well he has a low ki and full ki moveset and his own original moves and supers. Also Akuma is a clone of Mr Karate.

The best clone/ish character is Yuri Sakazaki in the Kof series they just kept adding Streetfighter related moves to her till she ripped off all the shotos before they took her mostly back to her original moveset from aof2.
