i finally decided to read this thread because I am a ryu player and yea the first few posts were a complete joke… hah yea ryu doesnt need any improvements… Even as a ryu player I wouldnt be surprised if they toned him down…
most obvious troll ever
edit: I really just can’t even tell who’s trolling who anymore.
Shoryuken should have more startup frames and shouldn’t have such an incredibly hitbox…it’s, like, the perfect move for any situation. Also, jumping Hurricane Kick shouldn’t be such a good get-out-of-corner move.
Ryu needs to be nerfed…period.
Main point evo is not a tournament including best player of the world…Tougeki is.
False fireball should recorver only couple of frame before if they put it if not it s gona be broken
2 or 3 frame less than normal fireball.
and it s funny to read comment like
look at daigo he raped sagat so ryu sagat is easy match up…
you will never be able to fight like Umehara does .
Ryu does needs a new gi! He must of been wearing the same one since SF1! It’s probably torn to shreds by this point (it already has been when looking at the alternate costume). It probably stinks, too.
Oh wait… wrong topic.
I’ve been playing Ryu since SF1, but LP into Ultra is an unfair move.
In fact, I wouldn’t really mind if his Ultra did slightly less damage overall since he’s got so many ways to combo into it.
Perhaps the devs should think of using that as a general rule: The harder it is to land an Ultra, the more damage it should do (they dropped the ball completely with Guile…).
Yea, the “roster” back then was less than impressive by today’s standards.
Anyway, Ryu needs nipples when he’s using his alt costume.
Ryu needs a normal 5 hit fireball because he has to have a way to beat Akuma! :looney:
Sakura is a bit weak compared to ryu. Like a lot of people have said it depends on your skill mostly. Daigo and others can run through player cuz they’ve been playing for years and they’re really samrt. Just practice more ya know? After a while you’ll get it. Watch vids or go onto ryu thread on the forums and ask for a bit of advice.
I don’t use ryu too much. I’ve seen people wait for a tiger shot and jump over it towards him and if he shoots another 1 shipuken threw the fire ball and get off a hit. U may get stuffed with a tiger uppercut but like I said watch and learn and also ask for advice in the ryu forums. You’ll get it man.
This thread is so stupid people wanting ways to make ryu better than he already is. He is the most balanced character in the game probably so many ways to sets up his ultra an most ryus rely on this to win most matches. He has solid normals an so what his sweep is slow he has his cr.mk that he can always combo into his fireball or ex fireball or better yet ex fireball cancel into ultra. An faster recovery on srk r u kidding if ryus stop smashing it out hoping to hit so u can land that ultra u wouldnt have to worry about that. An i main akuma how u think we feel on whiffed srk with such low health. An no easy ultra land have to play guess games an use trick to catch people. So all in all ryu is solid this thread is just full of people who wants him to be top tier
nbot sure if you noticed but this thread is truly just a joke thread by now… and I am saying this as a main ryu player
In all seriousness…go play this game [media=youtube]181bEWh0KqI[/media]
if you want any buffs to Ryu…
This thread is funny.
In all seriousness, Ryu’s shoryus need worse recovery and should knock the opponent more forward than upwards.
Everything else is ok. He’s pretty balanced, it’s only the godlike number of ways he has to land his Ultra that make him so strong. And his priority.
Basically thats what makes him so beast his ultra setups his cr.mk fireball combo i can deal with but his ultra setup is just annoying him rufus sagat an rog.
The only change that should happen to Ryu is making him Evil, otherwise leave him alone.
Great point! I was thinking something along the lines of statistically punishing players who main one character relative to tier. So, if you all you brought the game for was to lariat your way up the rankings all day, after a while your stats hoe-ing will slow to a trickle, irrespective of streak.
Either that or you could implement a system whereby you only battle any particular fighter once [in succession]. So no Ryu, Ryu, Ryu, Ken, Ken, Blanka, Blanka, Blanka, 'Gief, 'Gief… type situations anymore. At least that way you give some respite to the ‘victims’. 'Cause, short of nerfing them out of contention, I don’t see how you can actually stop tier hoes using there favorite Wii-easy character. : /
FADC Ultra should take 30% of his health too, see how he likes it.
I like that a lot, actually.
He doesn’t need any new specials and certainly doesn’t need any new ways to land his new ultra, so just having it be a non-comboable, strictly for easy punish, flashy ultra that starts with the mule kick knocking them off the wall into the shinku/metsu srk would be a great tie-in to SF3, not make Ryu overpowered and still give him a cool-looking new ultra to use strictly in situations where the opponent is left wide open. Having it start w/ the mule kick would also make perfect sense considering the motion is probably gonna be two fireballs and KKK anyway.
