RYU is back with poor mobility option, bad projectile utility and predictable gameplay

I remember I almost wanted to think Ryu was good for a minute. Him and Rayray used to love the bandana man in MAHVEL

Ryu was decent in XvS, MvS and TVC.

He was average in UMVC3 and MVC1.

His worst was in MVC2.

Ryu doesn’t fit in terms of what he can bring compared to the rest of the cast. Yes he can do Kamehameha but that pales in comparison to everybody else who can fly, shoot stuff, and throw beams as well. Just my opinion. He always feels to me he is lacking something that makes him stand out and not somebody you scroll over to pick the character besides him.

He don’t need a air dashes, he need a move that functions like a air dash, like give him a tatsu like Ken’s from sfv where it goes straight down in the air, or stuff like akuma where it nullified projectiles

That would be cool to be honest. But…would he be Ryu or “function” Ryu? He’ll lose his identity then.

Wow that sounds kinda deep. Why the hell they had to go and say function. Ugh.

No really his tatsu goes over fireballs in every game anyways

One that works like a dive kick isnta stretch he’s still gonna end ryu

Air dash doesn’t wreck Ryu it improves him.

Ryu just gotta be Mu Ryu or Hado kakusei Ryu like in UMVC3.

Increasing his projectile durability by 3 hits would help him. His more hadouken than any move like shoryuken and tatsu.

If ryu gets a air dash then the argument is there for everybody else to get one and I don’t want that to happen

Yes. Ryu getting an air dash will start the oversaturation of anime in Marvel. Only anime should go full anime

lol people that skip and never even mained Ryu or show confident with his character and choose a better function than him, shows feared, concern or threatned for Ryu having an air dash because of what?the fate of the universe? the fate of marvel? poor analogy and fail logic there, haha… What’s next? Swords, bullets and claws should have been unblockable in this game unless your Captain America?

Cyclops, and Chun li got multiple air jumps not twice and thats triple… Chun li is a human police woman then Cyclops mutant power ain’t air jumping or like Toad and Haggar can pull pipes from his pocket instead of picking them… all of those that no body loses there minds.

So with this logic let’s give capitan America. Air dash, a sword, multiple fireballs and flight mode , teleports

Just because…

Infact let’s just give every character the excat same set of tools so every character is the same minus looks?

Why not?

If everybody has the same tools diversity goes the fuck down so do playstyles

But the purpose of gems is to do exactly that.

Like any fighting game, the gems won’t 100 percent attain their design goal in competitive play. There are going to be gems that clearly better to use than the others just like how C/A and K grooves pretty much made the other grooves not worth using at the highest level of CVS2. N groove was good, but there was no strategic reason to use it over those 3 among the best characters.

There will be some characters where the time teleport surge won’t be enough to improve their poor mobility and there will be characters where the power stone doesn’t do enough for the damage issues. Either way the attempt should yield some very interesting results and create a very diverse field of what is viable.

Yeah like everyone had the gems and that excluded the recent buffs and upgrade.

I think the biggest mistake of capcom in Ryu for Marvel versus series is adding super jump, launcher and dash to Ryu? I think it’s time to remove those too, since he have all the tools he need the hadouken, shoryuken and Tatsu from the very beginning that can be also maximize the potential because of the freestyle tag.

I petition to remove those mobility option and in SFV Ryu can take crush counter upon SRK recovery this should have also in the game too since Ryu can utilize tagging out.

Ryu doesn’t even need Hyper Combos since this game already has Infinity storm.

Morrigan had nice new special moves that is seen more often in game, Glad Arthur and Thanos gain new mobiity option.

Chunli the police woman is more supernatural than Ryu the hobo that dedicated his life to self improvement to harness and contain the two of the most dangerous and powerful Ki in SF universe?

They should have just used E. Ryu instead. There is still a Ryu in the game, just more savage.

Yup since Capcom had been doing that with Megaman having Megaman, Volnutt and X…

The best Ryu iteration was UMVC3’s Hado Kakusei/Mu Ryu

He’s already breaking through

The edgelord versions of a character are only better than the original if you are six years old.

At any rate, it ultimately comes down to brand recognition. Ryu is easily one of the most recognizable characters in all of fighting games. Using the evil version as his replacement would create confusion with a casual audience. Keeping his moves recognizable is a part of that recognition. Casuals are familiar with those moves and will need to rely on them as they learn this strange and new beast of a system.

Don’t like karate man’s basic-ass moveset? Don’t play karate man. He’s staying just the way he is.

The mature Ryu was UMVC3 were Hadou Kakusei/Mu is that stronger and better than SNH Ryu in many ways

rayray will still hold him down. even though it was holding him back…
