Ryu: General Strategy / Combos / Matchups

Shinkuu’s 'aight. That being said I always pick Denjin. Dunno why, I throw EX 'dukens more than the super.

ex hadou is too easy to use as a crutch.
and then you play someone who red parries it.

I mostly use Shinkuu :x

I really like air to air reset into sa1. Looks sick when they start parry, you do rh tatsu and it hits twice

Is he talking about if that trades, what can he juggle/continue with?

He already gave the setup and move he did, so is he thinking no knockdown after Ryu got hit by Short Swing, he can move first and attempt to hit Dudley currently being Shinkuu’d, and try to extend the combo somehow?

Who doesn’t love a round ending combo?

You want to murder turtles and big guys.

Good thing I get emails about the 1st post before edits. Shit was tight.

“Kill
Dudley
Engineering”

Which I want to talk about more in depth one day. Corner push vs max damage and other stuff.

1der is a cool dude.

on the topic of super arts. shin sho. you can argue about all kinds of reasons to use shinkuu or denjin. and all those reasons are legit. that’s why ryu is awesome. i’ve seen people say they don’t choose shin sho due to meter length (considering ex also). how much ex does ryu really need to use in a single round? super with ryu is firmly in the realm of preference i think. they all open up different possibilities.

but shin sho is the most awesome of all.

i was going for UOH but ryu kinda leaped a bit further than usual.

how did i do it?

1 person said i kara’d cr.mk but idk. it came out by accident.

You kara’ed off of the f.MP overhead. The initial first frame of that move stuck out like a sore thumb. lol

are you sure?

ive seen magu do it before. is kara UOH beneficial in a real match in any way?

I play SA2 Ryu for fun (and am dreadful with him), but i think he’s the hardest shoto to use. He doesn’t have Ken’s all-around versatility, he doesn’t have Akuma’s smothering offense capabilities, and he doesn’t have Sean’s basketballs.

Maybe against chun? For ken instead of doing a meaty UOH, he can do kara UOH and combo into uppercut afterward. I’m sure the same thing works for Ryu. Probably good if you play shinsho vs Chun

Can someone confirm for me if
:d::lk:,:d::lp:,:dp::hp:
works on Chun?

chunkis swears to me it does, but I can only combo into EX :dp: (even in corner).
I know it combos on Urien/Alex (and probably Dudley/Hugo?).

Doesnt seem to work for me. only the EX version, both corner and midscreen

nah i dont think itll work, especially two crouching shorts.

try crouch short, crouch jab EX srk. that should work on chun in the corner or maybe mid-screen.

Close standing mk to hit confirmed kara shin shoryuken = turbo tits.

Too bad i can only pull it off 1/20 attempts. Against a dummy. Boo this man.

He wrote c.lk c.lp …

consciously think about holding down forward during your srk input.

That’s not the difficult part. The whole thing is tricky, since the super has to be linked. The timing more or less has to be spot on, and if you don’t do the kara fast enough it won’t work. That’s why it’s great whenever you can pull it off.
