Ryu changes in SSFIV thread

If anything, tone down the his combo abilities… its like mess up once against him, and your a goner…

i once played 7 ryus in a row on championship mode… nough said

@OP

Well if Ryu had a powerful Ultra then that would at the very least make him more threatening to guys like Sagat. It sucks when you hit confirm in to SRK and cancel into Ultra just to see your Ultra do less then 20% damage unless it’s completely full. So if it’s the Metsu SRK or whatever, I’ll welcome a more powerful alternative to the Metsu Hadoken which may make the Metsu Hadoken obsolete unless it can be used in certain set ups where the other one can’t be.

I’m just so thankful the OP is joking.

ryu is kinda cheap cheap…they NEED to slow his ass down!

3 frame moves

close strong wtf
close jab
Close fwd wtf
crouching jab

all srks…wtf and the invincibility frames wtf

his crouching fierce is faster than bisons standing jab! WTF

the only thing that needs to be 3 frames is jabs or shorts…not both and certain;y not strong or fwds and any specials.

if there is a buff for ryu… the universe would probably end. nerf this guy and take ken with him

-Shortcut his DP to :d: + :p:

-Shortcut his super to :d: :r: + :p:

-Shortcut his Ultra to :qcf: + :2p:

…oh. Wait a sec! I see what I did here! :coffee:

I main ryu and i hope nothing changes. Actually i’d like them to remove lp.srk > Ultra

Whao! :wow:
Pigs do fly at SRK!!

:china:

Most likely. It was a signature move throughout the Alpha and Marvel games and Gouken already has the Shin Shoryuken and (supposedly) Denjin Hadouken taken.
EX Tatsu already mimics that super since SF3 of course, but there’s still room for a tatsu on steroids… not that I see much benefit in it over Metsu Hadouken other than damage.

Mule kick?..I kid, I kid.

Unless you gonna do it. :slight_smile:

p.s. I agree that jab shoryu xx ultra and trade ultra should both go. Trade ultra should work for anyway, imo.

I could have sworn one of the semi-official “announced before it was announced” sites stated that we’d see things like “Metsu Shoryuken”. Just by assumption, given that Ken already has an ultra shoryu, Akuma shouldn’t be given a comboable ultra, Gouken already is getting Denjin (in fact, the mention that Gouken is getting Denjin was the very source that mentioned the Metsu Shoryuken), that Dan is not deserving of such a move, that Sakura is getting a Shinkuu Hadouken and isn’t really capable of something like a metsu shoryu, that it only leaves Ryu.

In fact, given all of that information / presumptions, on top of the fact that Ryu already has a Metsu Hadouken, it would not remotely surprise me for him to get the Metsu Shoryuken. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the Metsu Shoryu started with his Crescent Kick from 3S, bouncing them off the wall into a deep ass shoryu ^_^.

Oh that’s right, was forgetting about that rumor. Metsu Shoryuken actually sounds less practical than SFA tatsu if it keeps that SFA3 trajectory though, and it’ll make Ryu the third shoto with Ultra shoryuken.

Dude, he’s already so BS online, and you want him to be even more BS because sometimes his BS attacks don’t work?

I have also been a long time ryu player
I manage to finish in top 8 of my bulding tournamenrt so believe me I know my shite

what we need is tatsumoko vers of ruy in sf4. let s release is potential.

no seriouslyfix is ex tatsu
give him is f.mk back with possibility to shoryu if it hit on counter or a 1 frame shoryu if it s normal one.

may be is 3rd strike kick

that it…may be change is close st mk to make it recorver faster.

I think he should not be able to combo is cr.hp after sls anymore.

then it s more about the game, like changing tick thro, changing domage reduce to make dificult combo worth it, change reversal timing to make it more dificult.

that it

Lol! Thank You!!

I was going to quote and pick apart each number you wrote but I’m just going to generalize and say anyone who mains Ryu and actually wants part of a wishlist should really…think twice, you guys really don’t see Ryu as being OP huh…

Wait, do you also want easier links from f+hp > c. hp?
You guys sure you don’t want LK tatsu > srk? Idunno Ryu could definitely use some more combos.
Ryu shouldn’t have 1 frame links make his recovery less from each one of his linkable moves (or add hitstun frames)…

YOU GUYS SERIOUS!?

I think ryu need some change as well… i’m sick being owned by sagat who is so much better than ryu, i did SRK > FADC > Ultra… and sagat get up to TU > F.HK > FADC > Ultra for more damage than me when we did the same stuff… its just unbalanced. Ryu need to be able to do SRK FADC J.mp St.Hk Ultra, at least to cover for the hard scaling Ryu gets.

Furthermore, they should give him hadoken the ex hadoken recovery, getting owned by a jump attack when i do a fireball at close range is just ridiculous. Ryu’s best tools is the fireball, because in each SF intro, we see ryu throwing a fireball… it shouldnt be THAT weak.

I would like other change as well, but the list would be too long. Please Capcom, make him better for SSF4, he is the hero of the game, he shouldn’t lose!!

wow…just wow…i can’t believe people actually asks for improvement in Ryu…he is too good already…Anti-crossup option?! Are you fucking crazy?!..some characters doesn’t even have good Anti-Air options while you’re talking about a top tier character should get better Anti-Crossup options?!

  • His ultra damage needs to do LESS damage just because it is so flexible…
  • Remove the connecting of ultra after trading with srk…and lp.srk => ultra
  • Decrease arc of his air tetsu…so he can’t run away in corner or at least less safe if he tries to run away…why does Ryu need to run away anyway?! He has all the options in the world for everything…

Capcom needs to do something to about the massive Ryu user base…I bet during online Ryu is the most frequently used character…
