Speaking of earlier builds of this game, ya remember when
Ryu had guardbreak setups? Or St.mp into sweep? Or when Nash moonsault was an over head, faster V-trigger dash/teleport or ken having a faster run with less recovery and cross up tatsu?, Gief being able to combo into all his spd’s(I think) Chun li having an air spinning birdkick(?) And an OTG? Or birdie having Way higher damage or being able to bullhorn someone and when they’re falling down be juggled into super since older birdie bullhorn knocked people higher. They had some brave ideas back then

Edit: I’d format this better but I’m on a phone and that’s mad work

Yeah a lot of the game’s combos are based on spacing so could be just weird thing for Cody.

Ed has problems dealing with pew pew characters so no shame in having trouble with them.

2568

Oh yeah I remember older Karin’s Orochi behaving like yuns shoulder cross up trick but I guess they removed it after she was revealed

2569

No, that spacing whiffs for every character. It just seemed to be happening more on Cody possibly due to his Stun Hurtbox.

As for Ryu and FANG, it’s not the “pew pew” giving me issues. It’s everything else.

Holy shit beta Ryu could’ve probably been considered high tier if he kept most of the shit from beta/season 1 he had some grimey shit

Ah, well i think outside of Ryu’s fireballs that shouldn’t be too bad. Fang has really good buttons and such so he sucks both close and far.

2572

Ed’s combos decide to work sometimes nothing new, the character is broken.

Literally doesn’t function atm. You’re dumb if you try to play him.

Man look at all those options, beta 1 Ryu was a lot of fun. Coming from SF4, this Ryu seemed normal. Now he’d probably be broken if he were dropped in S3.

I don’t understand this need to cripple Ryu so much. Even though S1 Ryu was considered top tier, he still has the same issues that the current Ryu has. He can’t easily loop his pressure like most characters nor is his zoning good enough to zone people to death like Menat/Guile. For whatever reason it’s like they want to keep him down in the dumps.

Dieminion is a dummy that talked about Ed for 3 hours.

2575

I watched it live, Ed is a half finished character. Nobody should play him.

2576

If he had his universal stuff like safe jumps off v reversals and super chip kills that cant be v reversaled hed def be OD.

2577

You dumb for watching someone live talk about a dumb character for 3 hours.

You’re right. I should be playing Cammy if I were a player worth a damn.

But I figure if I’m gonna be shit regardless, there’s really no point in picking a top tier if I can’t use her to her true effectiveness. And after playing with her for plenty a while, I know that even with her simplicity, I simply can’t use her or any top tier in the game to their full potential. So why bother?

That stuff is nice but I want something reliable instead of situational. Having super is a rarity since Ryu relies on EX donkey for damage and EX fireball for oki against crouching opponents. V-reversal is more likely to happen but you might get thrown or you VR a jab and get nothing out of it.

I just want something that would always work without me having to think. Cammy, Ibuki, or even Ken doesn’t have to think about how to finish a combo, I wouldn’t want to either if I were still a Ryu player lol.

True. That v reversal and super chip out combined with his other stuff would be nasty though. You got 3 v reversals? Too bad you dead.

2581

It would be great if Capcom added Dan in season 4 and gave him frame 1 inv SRK.

How low do you want Ryu to fall?

He already got replaced twice. Should he have his joke spot taken away so that he may fall a 3rd time like Jesus?

Let Ryu carry the Satsui No Blunder as it is his duty to do so.

2583

How the hell can anyone do Ryu’s super after the l.k? And even more astounding, how the hell can anyone do it against an actual opponent and not in training mode? It’s definitely not a hit confirm because that’s impossible unless you’re a robot.

2584

It’s easy:
