Ryu Tier without Daigo

[Stay_Crispy]

How are you gonna knock a good sim down? If you’re playing a good sim ain’t no way you getting in for free. Only way you getting in is a random dp/psychic tatsu or Sim misusing an AA. This matchup is NOT 5-5, more like 7-3 in SIM’s favor.

Fei-Long can literally walk in on ryu and he can’t do anything about it. Cr.fierce beats ryu’s cr.forward. Ryu has to throw out jabs to anticipate Rekkas. Fei has tons of ways around fireballs FADC, chicken wing, neutral jump. There is nothing stopping Fei from just running all over Ryu. Fei 6-4 Ryu

Guile…Same thing. How you gonna get in on a good guile zoning you out? Jump in? Psychic tatsu? How? Let me know I’m sure all the other players would want to know how to. The only way I know how is to play patient and wait for Guile to go on the offensive and eventually make a mistake. Guile 6-4 Ryu

Balrog…Same story. How you gonna knock him down. Rog has better footsies, good pressure game and a good zoning game, not to mention trade U1, jab ultra, overhead ultra…etc. etc. You really have to work for the knockdown in order to start going crazy on safe jumps and OS’s. Rog 5.5 -4.5 Ryu

I just started maining Fei, and I’d say Ryu is almost free. That match is at least 7-3 in Fei’s favor. Ryu can’t even do cr.MK>hado. That’s free rekkas on block. Blocked sweep = free rekkas. Fireball from roughly half screen is a free EX chicken wing combo. Rekka pressure is free. The only damage I take from Ryu is when i mis-execute my combos and things of that nature. Once you get your timing down, Ryu is the least of Fei’s problem. Ken is WAY more of a problem than Ryu.

Like I said, that match is at least 7-3 in Fei’s favor.
