I hate to say it, but I told you so =P.
I still use C-Ryu, but he’s got nothing on C-Ken. Not to mention N-Ken…
Wanted so badly to use C-Ryu so i used Team Dan, but you’ve explained exactly why I’ve given up on Ryu, so i “sold out” to Team Daigo. Guile is way too fun; made me pick him up in the older games too
no hating on ryu will be allowed while i’m around, it IS all about mindgames. ryu can out think anyone and have that green punk blanka scratching his ass. show your opp. that you can wait till he/she stops all thier stupid tricks. But anyway just mess with the blanka player to make them miss blanka balls. better players won’t fall for this much but one time is all ryu needs.

Trust me, N-Ken is not as good as N-Ryu. You rarely see people playing a N-Ken. It’s mostly C-Ken. But I always thought that Ryu was underrated in this game. I know a S-Ryu can be effective if you know how to use him right.
Actually… not that this is the most practical thing, but if Ryu chicken blocks Blanka Ball… he can hit with a RH Hurricane kick afterwards.
But I do agree… C Ryu sucks dick. Ryu in general IMO doesn’t have the range to mess with the top tiers. Like if Sagat whiffs a cr/st FP vs Ken, he eats a RH (an easy mode whiff punisher). If Blanka whiffs a cr FP he eats a RH vs Ken. If Cammy does, she eats a fwd RH vs Ken. Now take those situations, and put Ryu in them. Versus Sagat he has to do walk in cr RH in time… not very easy to do at all. Vs Blanka, he can’t really do anything but hopkick in and st rushdown. Vs Cammy he has to do walk in RH, again not easy to do. So Ryu can barely punish whiffs, he has to be at the very very very exact range… thats why he sucks IMO.
I think S-Ryu is for scrubs who love doing level ones over and over. :lol:
Get knocked down? Wake up with level 1 hurricane ALL DAY. Cancel EVERYTHING into super fireball too. hehe, I don’t mind. More DPing random super practice for myself.
I think N-Ken is mad good too. Have you ever seen how fast a good player can make your guard meter flash when they have the run and low jump to work with? He can do all the exact same rushdown stuff N-Ryu can do, only he doesn’t have the weaknesses that Ryu the character has (ie. no range, needs meter to be good).
Well, I dunno. I still say pick whoever you want. If you like fireballing, Ryu. Love kicking and doing psychic shoryukens? Pick Ken instead. Definately don’t knock a certain character just because you haven’t seen anybody use him to his full potential yet though.
Give us Ryu players back our ST/HF speed fireballs! :mad: Obviously even those aren’t as good as a 9 frame normal, but better than trying to think of a new ryu animation which extends as far as Ken’s st. Rh.
I use K Ryu if u Running Rush Ryu after tha MP just put in another Mp or Hp in to K groove or Lv 3 Huricane Kick Super
HITS EM EVERY TIME:D
