Ryu changes in SSFIV thread

Classic Fighting Games Ultra Street Fighter IV
1

ok, seeing as everyone else is doing it i think it’s time for a Ryu update in SSFIV.

now ive been a long time SF playa and Ryu main-er so i kno my shiz. ive entered in comps and placed top 10 nationally. again i know my shite

so heres what ry needs in the update:

  1. improve recovery of SRK. its his staple bnb move so why is it so easy to punish? sure give a window to punish, but not give a damn double door :looney:

  2. give his norm SRK invulnerability for tha first few frames. sick of seeing it trade or even getting flat out beat by some bullshit moves.

  3. why the hell his focus cancel -> ultra get nerf so much? pls put the dmg back to normal and not scale it down just cos we have the skill to cancel ultra it.

  4. less recovery on his sweep

  5. ryu needs better anti-crossup ability. prob make tatsu invincible start up frames too

  6. i don’t mind that sagat can do faster fireballs, but then at least make ryus do double dmg. its not too much 2 ask

  7. we can fireball super/ultra, but why cant we do it in the air? this needs to be added, no q’s about it.

  8. lastly, giv his lp and mp SRK same priority as his hp SRK. its just dumb to not have same priority

K well thats the list what do u guys think?

bwahaha

*waits for the sagat improvements thread

it’s a joke that ryu is even getting a second ultra whatsoever lol.

3

He needs more ways to combo into his ultra.

4

I was thinking about this 2. maybe u should be able to combo from cr.mk to ultra, or cr.lk to ultra or something.

fadc to ultra is stupid as it wastes two bars of ur super which you want to use for ur super fireball.

i mean its common sense.

5

Make him a charge character.

6

you cant be serious

7

this would be funny if you weren’t joking

I think Ryu is one of the more well-rounded characters in the game. That being said I like a couple of your points, if only for purely selfish reasons:

"2. give his norm SRK invulnerability for tha first few frames. sick of seeing it trade or even getting flat out beat by some bullshit moves.

  1. less recovery on his sweep

  2. ryu needs better anti-crossup ability. prob make tatsu invincible start up frames too

  3. lastly, giv his lp and mp SRK same priority as his hp SRK. its just dumb to not have same priority"

Just taking those points, I think there is some work that could be done in those areas. I’m not too knowledgeable with all the frame data or technical side of the entire game, but those are the items I’ve noticed while playing. To me the fireball and ultra are fine.

9

are you serious?

His Ultra is one of the easiest to pull off during a combo, adding more damage to it would make low stamina characters (i.e Akuma, Seth) an easy target.

PS: Where have all the character-specific threads gone? I cant find them at the SFIV forum.

11

I think Ryu is fine the way he is. His moves already have damn good priority. Why give him some more.

12

The only change Ryu needs is trade->ultra taken out.

13

He needs lk tatsu into ultra too

That work at midscreen, of course.

14

I’m praying he’s removed.

15

!. fix the ex tatsu glitch
2. make his second ultra metsu shoryuken
3. /thread cause ryu hardly needs any fixes and speaking from someone who mains him, it’s the truth.

16

High 5!

17

na ryu is fine, he doenst need anymore fixes.

18

The only buff/fix I want for Ryu is to fix his EX Tatsumaki glitch ( The one where you only get 2 hits out of the move and could get hit or worse… ) .

I got punished twice by that situation , one time by getting ultra’d by a Sagat , and another by accidentally thinking that the last hit made it in and just did an ultra only to realize the last hit didn’t came out…

19

If you have ultra and super you should be able to combine both into an ultra-super fireball that comes out as a beam.

That would be so cool.

Ryo is retarded. He has so many good tools that he doesn’t freaking need. An over head, goes through firballs, infinite ways into ultra, best srk move in the game, huge ass hitbox on his fireball, etc. . . well rounded my balls. Give him some sort of disadvantage enough to put him on the level of the rest of the cast.

Remove the ability to mash srk during block strings/ links, increase the recovery on lp srk, nerf a few of his ways into ultra, and remove the auto correct on wakeup.
