far hk xx super seems like a very good kara based on the 5 seconds I spent in training messing around w/ it.
Can somebody recommend a couple of e ryu players on xbox live to follow? Preferebly some one that puts out replays often.
imho evil ryu just seems so… unrefined and kind of pointless, is there way for us to get capcom to change him into a more “set role” character e.g rushdown for next year, maybe if we start now it might be possible.
If you want a different character play a different character. I like Evil Ryu the way he is.
I agree with Vandal. Although I think he’s fine as a character, I wish they would have made his new move(the axe kick) better overall. The MK and HK versions are only useful in combos, LK version is very unsafe on block, and the EX version has no armor or hit invincibility. I’d like to see the LK version be -3 on block, the HK version to be a true overhead, and the EX version to have hit invincibility like Makoto’s EX overhead move. The MK version can stay the same.
This could be his signature move and what’s he more known for instead of just being another shoto. Just look at Oni, he may be a shoto but his unique moves are great in block strings, to pressure, and blow up crouch techs. We only see Evil ryu’s axe kick when he goes for punishes. Now admittedly these buffs would be pretty big but wouldn’t be considered unfair. But if you were to ask me, that’s what I would want Capcom to change the most about him(although a 5 frame sweep and low forward would be pretty sweet as well)
Hmm imo, i think Capcom just rushed threw designing him honestly hinting all of his negative stuff that shouldn’t be there during AE ( weak ax kick pressure, sweep issues and all that junk). With all that being said …the version in 2012 i have little compliment about, he isnt extremely strong but i feel his pressure game is just fine and his agressive nature of play (at least how i play him) work out just fine) I think the way he was meant to turn Ryu the zoner into ryu the angry offensive monster, which they did…hmm what i do believe they should do however is what should have been done since the beginning, the normals that he share with ryu SHOULDNT be slower, they should be like they were in alpha either the same or faster/better i dont get WHY they would weaken him in those area…makes no damn sense
when I think of evil ryu, I imagine great offense with decent/poor defense, why make him that much weaker than the 3 main shotos in all aspects apart from damage (ryu, ken, akuma), I want more of a akuma/ken feel to him tbh with a ryu casing (appearance), something like:
[LIST]
[]hk.tatsu doesn’t knockdown and is +1 on hit.
[]generally make him more mobile like akuma or ken
[*]make some of his normals much faster like cr.hk.
[/LIST]
all of these would come at the cost of his health/stun and damage, I think that’s fair right ? I mean it won’t make him broken just more legit, I really don’t want evil ryu to be looked at as just another shoto waste, like Rice_Eater I want axe kick to be his signature move.
Hi
I am new to Evil Ryu and I want to play as defensive style. Is there any advice? Who should I follow if I play as that style and who is the best Evil Ryu on Xbox Live for me to follow ?
Thanks
Wish Evil Ryu’s hadokens were better, his sweep safer and faster, Lk Axe kick imo could have been +1 on block.
Dont we all? I’m still trying to figure out why he has the only tatsu that DOESN’T break armor.
Akuma’s doesn’t break armor either.
Really? Thought it did. Bleh…wonder why Oni’s does then. Must be something about Blue Aura and electricity…or some shit
Evil Ryu’s hadouken is Ryu’s hadouken… that means it’s really good.
I want to use Evil Ryu as defensive + zoning and punish style. Is there any tip for that ?
Can you do his 1 frame links? Otherwise his combos are garbage. Also learn which pokes of his can be whiffed punished by divekicks, sweeps, etcetera.
Pick Ryu 
Why ?
Evil Ryu doesn’t have great atk mix-up like Akuma, so he should be play as defensive and wait for punishing. He hit like a truck. That’s why I want to use him as that style.
I agree Ryu is better zoning but Evil Ryu and punish harder.
Evil Ryu has great mixups with divekick and crossup, his divekick can be done lower than Akuma’s which makes it more ambiguous. And either crossup or not leads to a safe hit-confirmed 350 damage meterless combo.
You can set this mixup up off a throw, U2 (I think), or a sweep.
Can also do it after super demon. So funny when you get a dive kick after super or ultra. They’re pretty much dead.
Well i asked Zhi from cc asia on twitter if Sako was maining E Ryu and he said “He was just dicking around.” its a shame the best E Ryu dosen’t even play E Ryu. http://twitter.com/#!/nubianmessaiah/status/160876844491620352
