BnB Combos

so what are Ryu’s BnB combos?

cr. lk, cr. lk XX Super
cr. fk XX FB

what else?

whats BnB combo stand for

bread and butter

pretty much anything that leads into an ex blade kick followed by shoryu/tatsu depending on your location

crouching or close fierce xx ex blade kick -> tatsu is a typical BnB

I use C.MK into hurricane alot.

J.HP, C.HP into HK hurricane does alot.

cool thanks, are there any with his shorts, jabs

cr.short cr.jab cr.short xx sa1 is an easy hit confirm if you’re not comfortable with 2x cr.shorts yet. otherwise don’t expect them to lead into stronger normals like strong or fierce like it does in sfiv.

if you’re feeling risky you could always just dash up cr.short -> shoryuken someone. you could cancel that shoryuken into any super, although if you’re going to do it into sa1, make sure it was a jab shoryu.

oh yeah you can do cr.mk xx ex tatsu -> sa1 if you have someone in the corner, its not too hard if you drum out all the punch buttons.

sometimes if you hit someone with sa1 in the corner, throw out a tatsu right after

i wouldnt recommend sa1 after ex tatsu in corner.
the damage is scaled horribly. :lame:

in sf4 though, it scales just about right. :lame:

besides, the timing for that is strict and tough. :lame:

I would only use it if I knew it was enough to kill the opponent to win the match, I agree it’s not really much of a bread and butter though.

It helps to just list out anything ryu CAN do in 3s since thats what time_attack is pretty much looking for

Nice.

Oh look someone who can barely locate his dignity managed to post something on srk! Good job pal! You get a gold star for today!

Depends on the super. Ryu is more about spacing than he is actual combo’s.

counter poke cr.mk or cr.mp into ex fire ball or LK Tatsu is probably his best combo.

You can also do cr.mk/mp xx ex tatsu (in the corner) into LK/MK Axe Kick (:dp:+:k:)
Standing HP xx EX Axe Kick > Dash up Shoryuken

Everyone knows his super links but
cr.mk/mp xx sa1/sa2 (you need to be really close for SA2 though) > hk hurricane kick (if sa2 is used) or > lk ax kick (if sa1 is used, but must be done in the corner)
st.hp > lp shoryu xx sa2 > hk hurricane kick

cr.lk > cr.lp > cr.lk xx sa1
cr. lk x’s 2 xx sa1

cr.hp xx sa1/2

cr. hp > hp shoryu xx sa2 > hk hurricane kick

use cr.mp, st.mp and st.mk to build meter. EX fireball is a good spacing tool and a decent counter poke as well.

Although these aren’t technically combo’s throw set ups are good to know as well.
cr. lk > walk up throw
note: you can do cr.lk x’s 2 or 3 into dash up throw as well.

cr.mp > walk up throw

cr. lk, cr.lp, cr.lk > dash up throw
note 2: This can be done with the above set ups as well but do cr. lk, cr.lp, cr. lk then dash back, dash forward and throw.
The dash back trick also works on bating a poke so you can land cr.mk xx sa1

Jump in throw (seriously. lol)

Uh, that’s all I really have for now off the top of my head. I would go into Denjin Hadoken ryu but that’s another beast altogether.
Yeah. Hope that helps.
