I don’t believe in nerfing characters, only bringing everyone else up to a high level. On that note, Ryu should have an unblockable version of ken’s F+MK and the ability to teleport.
His EX Tatsumaki should be punishable on block.
Seriously, when did people get so stupid?
More damaging Metsu ultra? Raging Demon? Evil Ryu? Teleport (I can tell he was being sarcastic haha)!?!
Grow the fuck up and stop playing mugen.
Ryu already has an answer for everything in the game, even Sagat.
His ultra is probably going to be something that is difficult to set up into, but has a high damage output.
you do know that you can get ultra even after a trade dp. right? that isn’t news to you. right? right?
If it trades : done too early. If you get hit from behind : normal.
Edit : OK, OP was joking around.
/thread.
Give him a gun with infinite ammo.
“THIS AIN’T PERSONAL.”
Crack crack
Oh, and instead of regular bullets, the gun shoots nuclear warheads that impact at 3 frames. And Ryu is wearing an apron that is radiation proof.
Ryu needs;
one button grab
grabs from XSF (otg easy)
Air fireball
Akuma/Ken form change
Shin SRK ultra
Denjin ultra
Sweep > special
Shinkuu needs to be a Beam
Air EX hurricane hits like 3S Ken, but with Ryu damamge
Sweep > super/ultra
Invincible all the way up DP, no recovery upon landing
4 hit shakunetsu with no little startup like ST Akuma
Ashura senkuu with ST Akuma startup/recovery
3rd strike system direction chains, and chain dash cancels
otg combos
Rolling (just him)
Roll canceling(just him)
A3 X-ISM CC’s.
short jump attack
hopkick (cancellable mid air like XSF Euro 960910)
dashes from MVC2, ability to wave dash
That’s a start.
anyone wanting to buff ryu or sagat should have a brick dropped on their head immediately.
Quoted for truth
This needs to happen.
most of this thread is a joke, but he they do need to rework his ex tatsu. I main ryu, and i still don’t understand why he is getting another ultra.
he can still ultra after the trade ofc as anti air like balrogs. so dont kid.
dunno about others but guiles rh FK can punish it straight
The size of his Ultra projectile should be smaller so that you actually need to have aim/timing after DP > FACD.
Late, early, sorta late, sorta early…it always connects.
I could probably count on 1 hand the number of times someone has missed that combo.
Then compare that to juggling with Viper, Abel, Sakura’s ultra, where you have to have very restricted timings.
I like how you pimp yourself out to validate your changes. The changes you want to see are only based on the frustration you face when you lose. Ryu doesn’t need changes, you need practice.
Hes perfectly balanced.
This. Or make it like Seth’s after juggle in the sense that if you use it too early and they land on top of it, then it does shit damage.
Only change Ryu needs is a couple of frames of recovery added to his LP SRK. Other than that he is the benchmark all the other characters should be balanced to.
I know the ex-version shouldnt bounce people off the wall, but wouldnt it be freakin awesome!! I think that he should have the hcf+k though, I think its a great idea and the ex-version should have some startup invincibility.
@ your 2. I do have a wild imagination lol…but its a great idea isnt it?? I dont think it could be out of the question if the developers thought about it correctly.
hahahhah, now that was funny
I agree, his startup should have a slight window of invincibility just like C.Vipers ex-ground smash.
You shouldnt be trying to punish his jab dp when he lands anyways, your supposed to punish while he is still in the air.
I’d love if the ex donkey kick made them bounce off the wall only if his ultra II is Shin/Metsu Shoryuken. But since Ryu has enough super/ultra setups this would never happen.
i think they should change his hadoken(red/fire) to forward + down + back… like akuma… but only 2 hits like in the game… and instead of using up the gauge like akuma… thats the ONLY thing i feel like its kinda weird about Ryu in this game… 
why i feel like this…? because ryu is kinda like a fireball user in the anime/game… so why not give him that fireball move… it should be his bread and butter
