well guys, valle didnt even make top 16 and got knocked out by bison players he usually destroys.
r.i.p. sf4 ryu
2008-2010
Nah, I’m right there with you. Actually seeing how much of a disadvantage Ryu is at during gameplay was a rude awakening 
Even worse, he switched to Guy about halfway through and never looked back.
So I guess its up to John Choi to hold it down for Ryu in SF4? sigh
What do you think of Air’s Ryu on the videos available on his youtube channel ?
Good, but he said on his facebook that he will be playing Yang and also might start using Gouki.
For high level play, I guess, switching character from Ryu makes sense. (not really)
Ryu is still good, but there are characters that are better than him and that’s why everybody is switching.
In my opinion is more fun to win with a character that you really like instead of being a tier whore, but that’s just me.
Look at Zangitan, he always played Zangief, from SF IV to AE…
other than the low forward nerf, that i have to check out myself, i’m fine with Ryu.
i’m pouring out a 40 for all my fallen ryu warriors
I am bad at this game but I’ll take a shot.
holds shot glass out
He’s been saying a lot of things about char selection lately. He seems to still be making up his mind.
Air will probably go where ever Daigo goes. I wrote in another thread what will happen if Daigo stops using Ryu? Where will ryu be in tier lists?
As you can see, Ryu moves way down in the tier ranking when Daigo leaves. I can say with quite a bit of confidence, if daigo was still using Ryu, players like Air would still be using him too. Why? Because they would see the proper way to win with him.
Ryu was not very strong in Super edition, Daigo was. If Daigo used Ryu in this version, Ryu would look strong once again and everyone would be crying (eventscrubs) about how overpowered he is.
It’s really annoying listening to everyone cry about how bad Ryu is now. I doubt these people were winning all that much to begin with.
Also, of the crybabies: they generally arent even whining about the worst matchups…
If you like ryu, then use him. Does anyone really believe that 90% of the posters in the Ryu forums are competitive (ie placing) in the tournament scene? I love these retarded lines like: oh, i guess i’ll keep ryu around for non-competitive play… etc… If you have FUN using him, then keep using him. If you were using Ryu because you had some delusions of winning evo with him, it wasnt going to happen anyways, lol.
Lets just keep this thread to talking about Ryu’s attributes in AE, not how much he sucks now.
Wait! I was playing on winning evo with him. oh well.
Anyone find good uses for s.mp?
I concur.
poke/counter/anti air/block string/combo? duh?
[17:58] CaliPower oh btw ryu cr.mk is doo doo
[17:58] CaliPower in AE
[17:58] CaliPower so that means… u can walk and kick his face
[17:59] g0dhand Yeah, active time cut in half.
[17:59] CaliPower fbs suck in sf4
[17:59] CaliPower ae
[17:59] Alioune they already sucked in ssf4
[17:59] Alioune lol
[17:59] CaliPower yea
[17:59] CaliPower but not when he had that cr.mk
[17:59] A_Rival cr.mk was so godlke in sfiv
[17:59] CaliPower now its so ass
[17:59] CaliPower it doesnt matter he has fbs
[18:01] CaliPower ryu can't cr.mk vs bison devil reverse
[18:01] CaliPower from afar anymoreBesides the obvious.
Standing mp-You might want to consider that as a new measuring yardstick for canceling into FB. Beyond the standing mp range (using cr.mk), cancel into fb are punishable. It’s the new (though crappy) frame trap.
It’s great for evil ryu. You can link cr.lp and cr.mp into standing mp which further cancel into axe kick then cr.mp, lk tatsu, {cr.mp then dive kick/jump/meaty mix up etc} or {dp combo…} Nasty stuff. It’s great cause you can’t link cr.lp into cr.mk, and cr.mp only link into cr.mk up close. Cr.mp does not combo into axe kick but cr.mk and st.mp/st.hp does.
I guess its going to be awesome talking by myself in the Ryu section, at least there’s going to be some order in the threads and no trolls saying Ryu is overpowered woohoo 
Yeah that was really annoying. One dude out of japan wins frequently with him and he becomes overpowering.
everyone is saying ryu’s cr mk is terrible, but i’m curious how bad it is? how does it measure up to ken and akuma’s?
[media=youtube]TkSvLDTATL4[/media]
1:40 combos
3:59 counter hit combos
4:07 doesn’t combo
4:11 you can still stick it out for footsies
since its shorter some things don’t combo apparently, also since its quicker its much harder to lower your hitbox under jumpins like devil reverse.
Compared to Ken and Gouki, idk. Have to ask people that actually played the game.
is it confirmed that its range is shorter?
to me it looks more like ken’s cr mk now
Its active frames might be more in line with Akuma’s cr. MK. It’s got less active frames than Ryu’s in Super, but many players (including Tokido) have said that Akuma is almost completely unchanged in AE so it might be a good basis of comparison.
I’m not sure about the range, though.
I think alot of people replace c.mp with c.mk now. What do you guys do when your trapped in the corner?
