Ryu changes in SSFIV thread

Cuz he lost his SRK into ultra? Hell he has plenty of other tools for landing his ultra

He didn’t lose it. It just does worse damage now. That’s not really a big problem.

It’s unfortunate that Metsu SRK is looking like it’s useless, but all that means is that people are just going to use his Ultra I anyway.

No you’ll just have to actually learn how to use Ryu.

Post of the month. Wish I could still rep you…

Poop

See, normally I would agree with you. But then I look at moves like Somersault or Scarlet Terror; that was the point of those moves too. And I worry exactly how well it will be able to be used. for AA.

His normals were as good or better AAs than his SRK (I particularly used s.HK). Personally I’d say better, but that’s mostly due to parries. 3S is about the only game in which that was the case, and SRK as an AA sucked pretty hard in it. Aside from being parry bait, it traded in a lot of situations, and it usually ended up about an even trade, due to the damage on an SRK. That damage has been nerfed in Super. Also, this game is not and need not be 3S, or more like it.

Losing out to meaties isn’t the biggest of deals. Trading with normals and jump-ins in a large amount of situations is.

I think you might be giving the DP nerf more severity than what it actually has. Well if you are wrong at least you can be pleasantly surprised.

ryu will still be a bit above ken in terms of tiers. all they really gave ken was what ryu already has, a better fireball, faster sweep, faster dash, and better fp.srk
ryu still wins with faster walkspeed, better j.fk (that thing is godlike), more ultra and super setups, still has a better fireball. so i really dont see any ryu players jumping on the ken bandwagon. there is nothing ken has to offer ryu players besides the stepkick and a flaming uppercut to singe chun li’s pubes.

Pssshhht, step kick is the shit.

Ok it’s not enough to make Ken better but I serisouly love love love the step kick.

Thanks Capcom for tweaking DP Invincibility, best change in game if you asked me. Those so scared about trade jump ins should start looking at how mid/lower tiers play.
Guile: Uses normals to AA
Fei: I personally rely on St.HK because FK trades too often
Chun: Normals outside of wakeup
Rose: Cr.HP b/c outside of EX Soul Throw we lose to almost everything
Sakura: Cr.HP
Abel: Cr.HP/Cr.Mk or just Roll
Sim: Normals
Gouken: Counter correctly or learn to block

Its about time people stop relying on DP’s to get them out of every situation. One of the best FB’s, Reversals, Ultra set ups, footsies, zoning tools. Somethings gotta change.

That sounds like a pretty big nerf if you ask me. The trade into Ultra I could care less about, I never used it anyway. And the 2 hit DP is fine with me. At least I can use it against FA and break those like you can with a ken H.DP. But if you lose all priority on all DP’s then it’s good for what? Unblocked totally open opponents as long as they don’t throw out a jab? AA as long as they don’t kick or punch? I’m not an expert like a lot of you but this sounds like a pretty big nerf to me.

Now you’ll know how Guile’s FlashKick is like

cr.mk ex fireball ultra(corner)
cr. mk ex fireball fadc ultra
short/jabs DP fadc ultra
ex tatsu option select in corner ultra
focus ultra
trade dp ultra
safe jump OS DP fadc ultra
walk up DP fadc ultra(pro)
dash punch cr. mp cr.fp DP ultra
super hits close ultra
j.mp ultra
jab dp ultra

ex tatsu option select in corner ultra

what is ex tatsu OS in the corner?
I never herad of an OS ex tatsu in the corner. Os after what? Os to counter what?

short/jabs DP fadc ultra
safe jump OS DP fadc ultra
walk up DP fadc ultra(pro)

you forgot about
mashing DP fadc ultra
dashin DP fadc ultra
BD dp fadc ultra
cr hp DP fadc ultra…
cr.lp
cr.mp
…
sure this way ryu can have 150 way of landing ultra

dash punch cr. mp cr.fp DP ultra

this work only on less than 5 oponments and only if you touch them with sls while they are on a crouching position. if they are standing 70% of the cast can t will not be touch by the cr.hp
80% will have the shrk miss and the last 20 % will have the shoryuken touching from too far to be cancelable.

and I reapeat you can had a lot of way and combo befor dp fadc ultra, it remain the same…

ryu have many way of to connect with ultra but only 5 are really used once you play againt good opponment

DP fadc ultra as counter or tech throw guess or AA or after in a combo
DP trade ultra
crmk ex hado ultra corner or with fadc
ex tatsu corner as tech throw counter

that it and that enough

lp shoryu ultra and jump mp ultra might happen, but that because you have done a mistake.

I m happy that ryu will be considered as mid tier, then poor player will have to look for another excuse for loosing too him. as long as the character is fun to play i will play him.

[DominicanPower]

Ryu will still be high, sagat can’t use his st.lk no more, Akuma can’t loop Sagat or Abel to death etc.
