Formatting stolen (with permission) from Karsticles’s amazing Dormammu thread.

A Word:
I want to make this a one-stop shop for all inquiries regarding Ryu. Please do not hesitate to suggest changes/additions or alert me to errors in the main thread or via private message. A brief overview of what is contained in each section:

•The Basics: General character information, such as X-Factor and health values, along with the legend for notation that will be used throughout the guide. Each move is listed, along with the frame data for that move as well as how to make effective use of that move in a generation situation. If you are looking for strategies on how to make one of Ryu ’s normals, specials, or hypers useful in a variety of situation, read the “Discussion” portion of that move’s section.

•Strategy and Matchups: First, a general overview of your goals with Ryu is given. Then, a specific section exists for each character in the game; within these sections I will try to list effective strategies against each character in the game, especially options Ryu has to directly counter specific abilities each character has.

•Team Building: I have presented a general overview of what it means to make a team in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. This is followed by a section for each character in the game Ryu can pair with, along with the various synergistic abilities between Ryu and the given character.

•Gameplay and Combos: Here contains an archive of videos showing excellent Ryu gameplay or concepts, and also a listing of combos possible with Ryu. If you would like to contribute to this section, please be sure to read the rules for video submission.

Please do not hesitate to contribute! All assistance in making this guide as comprehensive as humanly possible is welcome; please do not hesitate to suggest changes as well.
