Ryu changes in SSFIV thread

Ryu needs very little changes;

  1. Get rid of Ultra after trade AAs, I main Ryu and it’s BS.

  2. Fix EX tatsu whiffing the knockdown hit

  3. Extend fierce DPs hitbox upwards to stop it trading so much vertically. Seriously, it’s a dragonpunch, it shouldn’t be trading with j.RHs/Sagats j.MP elbow etc. Yes you can hit deep using the first invincible frame but the timing is pretty strict (<3f I reckon) and it shouldn’t have to be, it should beat any jump normals from directly below. Hit it a frame early and you get 70pts damage and a trade, a frame later and you get the full 160 and a clean hit. Ryu’s DP looks really ‘vertical’ but it’s actually a pretty crappy vertical AA and the hitboxes are much better suited at horizontal protection.

  4. Extend s.RH hitbox outwards a little, if you’re jumping in at Ryu at such a long range I think it should be easily punishable.

Really? You want to give him a better anti-air to make safe jumps more difficult against him? Anyone with a DP shouldn’t have charge character quality normals.

Why not request that Ryu has 0 weaknesses at all… he barely has em any way.

Get the fuck outta here…

ban this fool

1.shoryuken isnt his bnb move its his hadouken
2.stop whoring normal shoryuken
3.ultra really should even do that much damage it only do about no more then 25% damage since it technically not a finisher.
4.if ur sayin it should quicker that would be gay cuz then he can dash up on you faster after easier which is cheap if ur trying to crowd
5. hurricane kick dont need invinciblity it need more hits like kens
6. making his fireball stronger would be wack considering its the fastest fireball next to sagats an can be spam unlike kens
7. this is sf4 not mvc2 we dont need air combos or air ultras
8. if they do that then why have a lp or mp at all hp has more prioirity cuz it his strong punch so wat ever special he uses with it is obviously gonna be better
9. if they were to upgrade him they should leave everything about him now the same an just add his power kick (half circle foward kick from street fighter 3 third strike)
10. fix his shoruyken i hate when he does this an then i walk or jump in when he’s on his way down hand his foot smacks me across the map

this is the best thing i have read in this thread an its so true so stop crying for upgrades an get better at what he already has.

What the fuck does this even mean?

your stupid

sorry some of the key on my pc are messed up so i have to press down on it hard but i was saying that ultra really shouldnt even do that much damage, it shoould only do about no more then 25% damage since it technically not a finisher.
sorry

fuck you
your stupid

Oh shit.

What you got now Rsnake91?! WHAT YOU GOT NIGGA?!

Give Ryu a shin shoryuken as an alt ultra.

lol @ everyone saying ‘your’ stupid.

it is of course ‘you are’ stupid

lol its okay for sagat to do 50% of your life. and who said ultras are finishers in sf4.

You forgot the following:

5000HP
an INSTANT overhead
an AHVB (just him)
a level 5 fake hurricane kick
an unblockable teleport

Add those and we’ll talk. Then, maybe, I’ll start using him.

J

Just fix EX tatsu…please.

lol @ SRK forum fights. SUPER SERIOUS BUSINESS.

The worst part is that this thread was clearly supposed to be satirical but so many people are taking it as if the OP was serious.

I don’t think Ryu needs any rebalacing issues aside from the El Fuerte match up (Maybe I just don’t know the matchup well enough). It seems once you’re knocked down you can’t get up because of random crossover body slams/slides. Then again, I do not know the match up all too well. Any pro el fuerte players wanna train with me?? Also I really do not know how to balance the game all too well. The problem with rebalancing is that it can completely change tierlists at high level of play. For example, a high tier guile player will have a 30 to 40 percent chance of beating a high tier Ryu player. BUT, it if we were to give him faster recovery from fireballs (almost FADC speed), then he would be unstoppable. The problem is his other matches that he is good against will be upped by many scales. So for example (and this isn’t necessarily true, but just to make a point) if there is a 6/4 matchup for Guile before (and it was due to his normals), with a huge improvement in fireball recovery could make the matchup 7/3 for Guile, maybe even 8/2 since his jab fireball is already good from full screen. That is the main problem. I think they should leave it as it is. Come to think about it, the random cross ups are all El Fuerte really has. I have seen some high level of gameplay from each character and I really don’t see the 7/3 matchup for anyone. It’s a lot like MMA: Each fighter has a different fighting game.

That doesn’t have much to do with the match, Elf does that to everybody.
