Ryu changes in SSFIV thread

lol the guy youre arguing with is obviously an idiot but this is probably the dumbest thing said on this page

I’m hoping it’s an Oz reference actually. To be honest, if he’s just calling me strawman to make me seem hallow and insignificant, it’s not working.

Apologies, I gave him more credit than he deserved.

… Dude, he’s not calling you a strawman.

Strawman argument. It’s a debate term.

sigh This is what a strawman argument is:

Edit: someone beat me to it

HAHAHA OMG!!! I spit out my drink all over my screen, lol. If you’re just making a joke with this comment then you get a :tup: from me. If you’re serious, I don’t mean offense, but just google “straw man argument,” to see what he actually meant.

Okay okay no need to get all up over him about it. It’s honestly not THAT common a term.

I wasn’t, I just thought it was funny.

I even said that I didn’t mean offense if he was serious, I thought that he was probably just making a joke. :angel:

Not necessarily you but others were acting abit pissy over it.

Ryu changes:

Give him a weakness. Just one. Having to overcome weaknesses is a part of life for most of the street fighter cast. It IS life for Vega and Dan.

Any thoughts? (kind/constructive thoughts please, I’m not intending to flame here.)

Wow. I feel stupid. Well, you learn new shit everyday. My bad.

**Yes. Unless you bait it… Honda’s anti air is shitty. You’re so correct. I wonder where I’ve heard that before. Who could have said such a thing?
**

Yea you’re the guy that needed to be reminded the damn thing starts up 3 times slower right? Read,comprehend, respond.

You’re arguing with one of the beastliest Seth’s in so cal, as well as a fairly well informed CHun and Akuma and apparently their part of the Ryu army?

?? What are you talking about buddy? The randoms on the last page saying things like “oh you must walk into cr. fwd constantly since you think it’s a good poke!!” were the ones making strawmen, and since you don’t even know the meaning of the word you might want to look it up before you try using it in a sentence like you know what’s going on.

isn’t that exactly what redrapper said to do against ryu? i don’t get how it’s ok to bait against honda, who has aa options, but not ok to bait ryu, who also has aa options.

Fuck man, for like the 6th time it starts up 3 times slower so it’s sorta kinda easier to bait it. Remember when i said to increase the startup time of SRK and he was crying about how it would suck as an anti-air? Read,comprehend, respond.

**lol, predictable? what’s the quality of playing you’re going against? maybe you should look at my location. i think the fellow japanese players i play against would love to hear your ideas on how to make a 10 frame scissor kick something they can punish easily. **

Maybe you’d like it if i quoted a fellow player from japan who said the EXACT same things i’ve been saying? I’m probably going to do that anyways just to prove how mindless some of the people arguing agianst changes like “ryus EX hurricane should be -6 on block” are. Maybe you’d like me to link you to a video that shows what happens when bison things he can just run up to ryu and introduce himself ad-nauseum?

You mysteriously failed to answer the question, do you agree with him that bison has better offense than ryu? Do japanese players agree?

because that’s how he plays honda and he plays really aggressive. he did aa quite a bit, but he’s definitely not a typical “crouch, wait” type of player with honda, which does allow jump-ins, but doesn’t completely neuter him like you think it does.

What i said is that honda doesn’t have defense that’s better than ryus, do you agree or disagree? Do japanese players think that honda has better defense than ryu? Ryu can jump in much easier on honda than honda can successfully jump in on ryu, agree or disagree?

If you’re going to respond how about responding to questions meant for you and not mysteriously avoiding them?

yes! Yes you are!

:rofl:

I’m gonna use that joke. Hope it’s okay witchu. :]

:blush:

Actually, what you did is offer a match of Alex Valle (RY) vs Mike Ross (EH) as proof that Ryu can jump-in against honda more than honda can jump-in against ryu, which is both a really stupid thing to argue (more to follow) and a really stupid way to prove your point.

On defense:

I think “defense” is a very general term. It’s easier to set up a situation against honda where you can jump in if you’re ahead on life, since he has to break his d/b charge to get at you.

Neither character gets free jump-ins if it’s even, since regardless of what you want to think headbutt IS a great anti-air. Shaddup about that. Seriously.

Honda has some of the best normals in the game, so if we’re talking about “defensive footsies”, then i think he does better.

If we’re talking about getting out/away from a rushdown, then I think they have the same options in reversal / block / tech.

It’s all good, dude. Don’t worry about those ‘fallacy elitists’ that are upset that you didn’t know what a straw man was. I understand that not all of us are nerdy enough like me about logic and philosophy to memorize all the logical fallacies.

PS. I’ll be copying your joke next chance I get.

That’s the most honest thing you’ve ever said. Goodluck with that lp SRK that was so easy to stuff, according to you.

Completely unnecessary. Also, specify what weakness he should have. As it is, it just sounds like you want Ryu brought down just because the characters you play with have weaknesses, not due to Ryu’s own merit.

Capcom could make his fireballs better than Sagat’s, with a full invincible SRK, and then he’s have weak normals in comparison. But I don’t think that’s what you were going for.

Lastly, it’s probably not going to happen. A more productive approach is what can be done to make other characters better, instead of making a good character worse just because others aren’t as good.

We can keep at this all day. But pretty much everyone here agrees with me.

not to mention the fact that I have more experience at this game than you do. I’ve attended more tournaments than you have. Hell, I’ve probably played better players than you have. I listed everything you argued pages ago. I asked what I had missed and you clearly didn’t spell it out. You do understand that the more you post, the more idiotic you look, correct?

If not just keep posting. Because every time I dismantle one of your posts and fuck up your logic and you respond with “read, respond, comprehend” or whatever the fuck, It’s more fodder for me to look better. It’s already gotten me loads of popularity on this thread. Half the shit I’ve told you I said have come from the mouths of some of the best players in fucking So Cal, and yet you seem to ignore that and go into these bullshit rants about frame data. It’s hilarious! I would’ve stopped pages ago, but at some point, it went from trying to tell you stuff to make you a better player to you’re bad at this to this is just feeding my ego. Really dude, keep posting. You’re only helping me.

If not, kindly shut the fuck up and leave. Either way I win, because they’re keeping his shit the same in the next game according to S-Kill and just adding new shit to make Ryu stronger. So you’re going to have to deal with 3 frame SRK all day.

Guess you should just move onto another SF game like HDR or 3s… OH WAIT! SRK is even BETTER in those games! And takes off MUCH more life! Well guess you should go play… smash or something. It’s what all the children do anyway. How old are you like… 27? Good shit buddy. Go pick Fox or something and go complain about MK and quit all over again. Really, it’s just going to be another example of what not to do in a fighting game.

We can keep at this all day. But pretty much everyone here agrees with me.

Lol. So they agree with you about how anymore startup on SRK makes it a shit anti-air? They agree with you about how lp SRK is easy to stuff? They agree with you that ryu is the most predictable character in the game? Top players agree bison has better offense?

If that’s the case, maybe i should start using the word scrub more, i’ll guarantee the people backing you up don’t know their head from their ass as far as what’s being argued about.

Make sure you don’t edit away those gold posts btw…much amusement.

Btw, i just had time to actually view that video of the guile player who supposedly thought my changes were stupid…funny thing is that i can link you to where they are having a discussion about how much of what i said(and more) makes ryu deserving of a nerf. If you’ll stop arguing like a 4 year old lets see what goes on because i wonder if you understand what my argument even is.

I know you have a reaaaaally hard time reading and more importantly, UNDERSTANDING what you read, so i took the liberty of bolding what you need to see.

It’s funny how everyone y’all resorted to wiki. I don’t know why. it’s just funny.
