He's down-right Fierce!: Ryu Thread Reloaded

Lol, Ryu should get custom combo, parry and focus attack. He IS Street Fighter dammit!

How abut giving him Denjin as his C Hadouken? Could be charged, and at max charge it’s unblockable and wallbounces. Gives Ryu some extra flair and makes him a little broken.

Or, Capcom, just give him him a double jump/TvC combos/Special cancelable overhead…

I have a hope in the back of my mind that he’ll be better balanced on release but I have a feeling that will not happen

I’m actually rooting for Ryu in this game, he seems like the underdog. Hopefully somebody’ll find something soon for him…

just got finished reading the akuma thread.

wow.

I’m with both of you, toast and puff.

I hope like hell he is. The way Capcom’s been trending though, they’re just gonna nerf his ass into the gutter.

Played as ryu for quite abit today… he has a awesome assist and he can aim his hyper combo…
Why did they put him in this game if there not gonna make him godlike or at least have the ability to compete

lol it just occurred to me that I NEVER see someone use his Tatsu super. I completely forgot it was in the game. What’s the point of it? Does it do more damage than Shinkuu? Maybe it can OTG, so he can use it after an air combo?

Everyone says the Tatsu super is complete ass. At least that’s what I remember reading anyway. Shinkuu’s just too good to pass up on also.

I assume that Shinku Tatsu has invincible start-up until shown otherwise. That’s one of the only reasons I use it in other games.

Didn’t it OTG in the other games?

I think it did in TvC, but I’d have to double-check.

When I did bother to use it in that game, it was mostly to bait stuff at close-range. Get 'em to stick their hand in the blender.

Just choose Akuma.

they should reduce the startup of Shinku Tatsumaki and make the final hit wall bounce for epic dhc. and i had a dream last night about ryu parrying in mvc3. and it was AWESOME. parry opponent’s trijump -> shoryuken -> shinku hadoken : P

fadc for free would also be epic. also needs the ability to special cancel out of overhead

Ryu has had the same moves in the MVCs for years , just different properties. Someone give him a new something besides the wall kick.

His game is better with the aim-able Shinkuu but, otherwise Ryu is gonna be the “true skill to use” character again.

I see Ryu doing well against characters who don’t have projectiles

I swear I saw a vid of him doing DP into Hyper.

Hadoken seems to have quite a bit of priority now. I played a match with him against Zero, C Hadangeki gets stuffed by Hadoken and anything less gets ignored outright. I don’t see it holding up against beams but you could try and bait them for a Shinku. Does it still lose to Chris and Deadpool’s guns?

Any info from the streams of the final game whether Ryu is better than in the 30 man build version?

Where’s Ryu’s juice Killian?

Go find it yourself, he’s not your nanny.
