Great stuff!
Your Ovehead combo on Vega… is that character specific?
You can do Towards + MP (for one hit only) into EX Shoryu on a lot of people, but it’s hard to time. Your combo looks far easier and more effective.
Thanks, I didn’t know about Towards + MP (for one hit only) into EX Shoryu
As for the combo I recorded, frankly I haven’t tested against all characters but that doesn’t seem like a character specific combo. Let us know!
Ah thanks very much for this. More and more I wish there was range data…i.e. it would give the range that every move had along with how much it pushed you back or pushed them forward. It would clear up things like this and also provide a way to truly calculate what combos are possible or not.
I just tested it against another Ryu… it doesn’t work :(. You get pushed back too far from the Towards + MP for the crouch jab to connect. I am trying to see if crouch Strong or crouch Forward willc onnect, but I doubt it, they are too slow.
However I will look at what characters this does work on. If it works on Sagat, Zangief, Balrog, M.Bison, Dhalsim or Blanka I would be happy, as those are hard match-ups and anything that provides another damage opportunity would be well worth it. Sagat and Gief have big hit boxes, so I can see this working on them.
FYI the combo I am referring to is Towards + MP (overhead), crouch Jab, crouch Medium Kick xx EX Hado.
The timing is tight, although it’s a little bit more relaxed if you make the Towards + MP hit as a meaty on wakeup.
I think it was stated above that fwd+mp 2nd hit, ex srk was a combo but is the risk reward on that worth it? Really wish fwd+mp 2hits, c.lp, c.mk was a combo on every character :sad:
also I have a question about AA focus with ryu. If you get an AA focus, you can get some fucking retarded life. AA FC on counter hit, dash fwd, fwd+fp, c.lp, c.fp, tatsu which is like 35%ish for AA. I’m new to using the focus properly and correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t a jump in throw counter the AA focus? and if thats true, the issue becomes if focus AA is even worth it to begin with. You could have always done a shoryuken for AA and get the guaranteed life.
I’ve been watching those daigo video’s and I don’t see him use AA focus all that much. He does AA thats guaranteed almost every time.
Is it just me or does it seem like ryu’s c.jab, c.jab is out of control? Its hit confirmable into c.mk, ex FB. There’s also c.jab, c.jab, srk etc… on block its a throw setup and you can add a counter to teched throw with c.lp, c.lp, walk fwd to fake throw, s.fp\c.fp, FB\ex FB. If you don’t want to dump bar, c.jab, c.jab combo’s into c.rh for mad easy KD. There’s also the fact that c.jab, c.jab puts ryu in prime positions for his gameplay. You can slide them back for FB\DP stuff. You can c.jab, c.jab, walk fwd, c.jab, c.mp, c.mk and work an extend sequence. I watched daigo do c.jab, c.jab, fwd+fp, c.jab, walk fwd, c.mp, walk back c.mk. Its like it sets up everything for him automatically. Oh yea, c.lk, c.jab, link shoryuken, dash cancel ultra is so hit confirmable.
this is great advice : >
can anyone tell me how much damage this combo does??
j.mk -> c.mk -> Hadouken -> FADC -> c.fierce -> ex Tatsumaki -> Ultra?
I’d do it myself but I currently don’t have the game available to me (360 got red rings -_-) and it seems like a nice addition to the classic BnB combo.
any tips on how to shoryuken from crouch h.punch?
Are there any combos involving Ryu’s super that require a specific speed? Or more generally, is there any use for a slow (jab) super vs. the fast (fierce) one?
The main difficulty with this combo is that it can turn into cr HP --> Hadoken or Super if not done correctly.
To make sure you don’t miss this one, there are two methods:
f, d + HP, df + P (f= forward, d= down)
or
cr. HP, f, d, df + P
1st of all make sure you stop at df and don’t press on forward, and on the second possible input make sure you go from down (or down-back) to Neutral to forward.
I find it easy this way:
df+hp (c.hp), quick db, df+any p.
If you are crouching and blocking (db), then:
df, db, df+any p
you are actually also putting in the down (d) when rapidly going between db and df, which is the way to do it. Don’t try to get neutral in between those.
This works 100%
Is it worth to waste a meter block to do c.HP xx EX SRK instead of c.HP xx SRK? Anyone knows the damage each one does?
No, EX SRK does less damage than HP Shoryu.
The best damaging special move Ryu has is actually his Hurricane Kick. The problem is that he travels for so long when using a HK Hurricane, an opponent can quick rise and get you if you use in some combos. Still MK Hurricane is a good tool to use to build damage and stun.
EX Shoryu should be used primarily as a guaranteed anti-air. For example in the Balrog (Boxer) match-up, his Jump in Roundhouse is god like. EX SRK is one of the few things that will stuff it clean.
Thx for the info Golden, I was loonking into the frame data on wiki but thought I wasn’t reading it right.
What’s the best combo to punish a blocked srk? I’m using c.HP xx HP SRK cause it’s simple and easy to do, but I want something that does more damage and that is also simple cause my execution it’s not that great.
I tried f+HP, c.HP xx HP Srk but I constantly miss the timing for the f+HP.
Well your combo is perfectly acceptable, does good damage and is easy to do. So there isn’t anything wrong with it.
Another one that is pretty simple is Towards + HP and then link a HP Dragon punch afterwards. Not sure if that does more damage though…
The best combo you could do is probably cr.Mp, cr.HP xx HP SRK. Not that easy to do, but very good damage and stun. It’s also good no matter where you are on screen. Sometimes Hurricane Kick combos will end up with Ryu on the other side and in the corner, which is not ideal.
That’s the one I keep missing. Don’t have the timing for the f+HP just yet 
Does this one KD or will the opponent be pushed back by the c.MK, c.HP and then the HP SRK connects but doesn’t KD?
f+MP (2 hits or 1 hit)xxLP shoryuken > FADC Ultra is a combo. Works on most characters (think all but not sure).
Punishing a shoryuken (other than Ken’s LP shoryu) I do f. FP>cl. MK > FP Shoryu or cr.FP> Shoryu if i have to dash to punish it.
I saw a guy do cr. LK, cr. LP, cl. MKxxLP shoryu>Ultra against a cornered sagat. No meter or anything it was pretty sexy.
LP SRK xx Ultra doesn’t combo. You mean Super?
When I have meter I usually do cr.HP xx HP SRK xx Super, it’s easy and do good damage.
I appreciate your help but I can’t FADC to Ultra. I’m using a pad and its really hard (at least for me).
What is the easiest way to do cr.lk, cr.lp, shoryu ?
I mean what motion and between what i must put a delay ?
Thanks.
No I mean ultra. The guy didn’t do ANY CANCEL it was in the corner against sagat and he hit cr. LK, cr. LP, cl. MKxxlp shoryuken > than LINKED an ultra gonna mess with it when i get home.
The trick is when you do cr. LK, cr. LP the cr. LP must be Linked (so slightly delayed) than you can just do dp+P and get a shoryuken.
I like doing cr. LK, cr. LP, cr. LP cuz the LP to LP link is easier and more time to verify and if i want to mix it up with cr. FP on the 3rd hit my Rhythm doesn’t have to change.
