Hello.

Have you explored the Ryu sub-forum? There should be an archive of useful posts covering all aspects of the character there for you.

Welcome to SRK. :heart:

this combo thread for example

i dont understand what all those acronyms and abbreviations mean

The zigzag motion is a DP motion. I get it most easily just by pressing forward and then quarter circle forward immediately after.
For combo notations:
cr. = crouching
st. = standing
j. = jumping
f. = forward
b. = back
lp = light punch (square on a PS4 controller)
lk = light kick (x)
mp = medium punch (triangle)
mk = medium kick (circle)
hp = heavy punch (R1)
hk = heavy kick (R2)
VT = V trigger (R1 + R2)
VTC = V trigger cancel

When two moves are separated by a comma, it means they’re being linked. You have to wait for the animation of the first move to end and then press the next one, so a bit of timing is required. When the moves are seperated by xx, it’s a cancel, so you can do the second move immediately after the first with less strict timing.
