I am not asking on the "RIGHT" way to say it..I am asking on how you say it personally.

Even though I know now it's correctly stated as Re-you, I still say it as "Rai-you", because that's simply how I came to say it since I first started playing Street Fighter II.

It's Ree yu, you couldn't make it sound like Rai yu without radically altering the Japanese spelling of the name.

It's Reeyu.  I used to say Raiyu as a kid, and still do sometimes... I think either is ok (though the latter technically isnt correct)
