Just play against better people, u made lots of mistakes and you upload vids winning against average people. Can’t help too much, all I can say is, if you want to play flashy you must know what you are doing first. Play against better people, learn to zone, ranges, footsies, hit confirming, plinking, OS, blockstrings (and how/when to block), matchups, etc… also read guides.
Im sorry, but u mean to tell me you dont see any of what u posted in the vids? Wow. And how am I playing flashy? Please elaborate. I know match ups, I hit confim, I use both OS & plinking, I know my block strings (lol), and I use zoning & footsies. Granted these players arent top 8 and Im sure everyone on here who post vids arent playing top players EVERY match, but everything I posted still applies. I know I make some mistakes in those matches esp in the Ibuki match & the also in the last vid posted. Thanks for looking tho, I respect ur opinion : )
Do you even know what you’re talking about? Khayri played a decent enough Ryu, i’d suggest you list his “lots” of mistakes with regards to what you suggested him to learn, before you start sending him to newbie guides.
There was nothing flashy in Khayri’s gameplay, he did what he needed to do. The skill gap doesn’t help analyze his game enough, it does seem that his style lies on the zoning, defensive type of Ryu, his footsies seemed more autopilot than anything. That’s the opposite of flashy type play. For khayri, you need proper opponents around your level for us to critque you properly, if that’s what you want. If anything Khayri plays a solid Ryu, making solid decisions to win his matches, albeit boring but solid decisions. The frame traps that we saw was good though, cr.lk, cr.lp pause then commence your frame trap.
There were execution mistakes here and there of course, but he used frame traps that worked well, solid AA fireballing, zoning etc, though the lack of risks and reads made me bored on both sides, need better opponents.
^^Now thats more like it. Love the analysis. I agree with playing better opponents, I try to play them when I can & I have a few on friends list. I play a more defensive Ryu, picking & choosing my spots with the occasional rushdown. Im always workin on my execution, but everyone knows thats something u can never perfect. Again, thanks for the analysis. Back to the training room. I also should note that Ive only been using Ryu for a short while, and I hope to improve.
I will have to watch again , but my general impression is youre really heading in the right direction with your Ryu.
I saw a lot of good stuff , a Solar plexus with a perfectly p-link c.hp xx srk , fadc to ultra , good anti-air, good zoning with some rush down safe jumps, couple of well executed combos.
For some critic: You made to much unsafe jump in for my taste, too much unsafe Shoryuken that seems to be base on guess or anticipation
Keep working on your hit confirm, you did confirm a lot of combos anyways its just an area we all have to keep working on ( exept daigo)
Indeed. Thanks for the feedback. One thing that I do and I know its a risk/reward thing, is that I’ll FADC my cr. lp x2 > cr.fwd > fb block string into a sweep. I sometimes catch ppl off guard and get the sweep (reward) and sometimes I dont get the sweep & Ive just wasted meter (risk). So when u see me do that in a match Im doing that on purpose, lol. Im still trying to work on my safe jumps and tryin not to jump as much in general. And yes, I tried to ume-shoryu a little, lol. But I’ll continue to practice, practice, practice!
Well, I’ll add you on XBL and will show you some of my replies, you will see my Ryu is not far from your Ryu (I consider my Ryu horrible on a competitive stage, when people say I’m good I get mad because I see my mistakes and can’t find how to fix em sometimes), and I must learn what I told you to learn. Maybe you think you know how to zone, plink safe (no, when you whiff a move you don’t plink safe, when you do a c.HP out of range you don’t know the ranges), footsies (see the reply against that Ryu again, he did footsies better than you, but his random shoryukens were a /facepalm), etc… As for myself I read/watch guides over and over, I train my plinks over and over on training mode, when I suck at footsies I try to learn again because when I play and I notice my mistakes I notice that I missed something from those guides/trainings. Also, when I play against average people I don’t care what I did wrong/good, because I outplay them instead, and they didn’t punished me proper, they don’t know how to tech, OS, etc… Well, I’ll show you my replies via XBL and you will understand my thoughts.
First notice how they jump in free on your vids and how you get close to them due to that. This doesn’t help on your playstyle you just notice how bad they are jumping free.
Anyone have good videos against Dudley? I’m having trouble learning how to punish some attacks.

Though I love all your crazy links and combo’s, are you keeping damage scaling in mind? The combo after the focus attack @ 1:15 is incredible, but wouldnt a simple solar plexus > cr.hp > (ex)Srk do about as much damage?
I watched the Gouken fight. Couple of things. Firstly, theres no way you should have been getting away with focus attacks that close to the opponent. i dont think this guy was very good up-close. he kept wticking sweeps out for no reason when you were right next to him. Secondly the combos, fun to watch sure, but you wasted a shit load of metre that could have gotten you the win here. Youre using jab too much when you should just be going for more basic combos with heavier moves. I think you did like S.LP S.LP C.FP Hado FADC something else… when there was no reason for the jabs into C.FP hado. much better to go for the heavier oines. If you can hit SPS C.FP SRK then do that, if not just SPS SRK is fine. You wasted 2 metres on a combo where he got stunned in the middle too. Im not too amazing myself at knowing exactly when the opp’ will get stunned, but if Ive hit a pretty sucessful rushdown I wont use EX metre just in case. I think what you want to lok to do here is to use the good execution skills you have but in a more basic, solid way.
your opponents were terrible
eh…eh…ehhhh…:tdown:

Me against an akuma
lets the critique and trolling begin
i don’t think u will do well in a tournament
thanks for the word of encouragement -.-
My critique.
Round 1: You didnt really observe the spacing. You should be trying to stay at about C.MK range, from where Akuma will feel the pressure, and then responding to his actions. Sure he’ll hit you a few times, but youll hit him too, and you have more health. You have to be aware of the options (which are based on the spacing). You obviously werent because when he knocked you down he stood at sweep range, because he wasnt close you presumed he wouldnt attack so didnt block and got hit by C.HK
round 2: K i dont even know how you lost this round in the end. You jumped a lot and for no resason which makes me think you had no real gameplan. Think about the match-up, what you want to try to do and where you wanna be, build a strategy, stick to it but adapt when you need to. i was also gonna say you didnt need to use super but then you went on to lose the round. Really you should have kept super and just learnt to block.
Round 3 : A little better. Make sure youe able to react to jumps and SRK accoringly. Also dont spam fireballs - they got a little obvious in places. oh, and know your bread and butter combos for punishing.
Round 4 : Again better. youre putting the pressue on him and hes messing up and getting punished. This is good, but Id try to make your pressure safer. There were times when a better Akuma would have been able to pressure you, again this is really just respecting your opponent’s options.
Round 5: youre running away from him a load without reason. you want to be close - or mid range. Sweep his air fireballs and build pressure that way. You always seem to have a fear of reversal SRKs or something cause youre not entering blockstrings and throw mix-ups. Sure he might hit you with an SRK, but if you leave pauses in your attacks to test for reversals then youre far likely to get damage by punishing than he is by reversing with SRK. WTF was the tatsu at the end about?!
i thought you played okay overall but it was evident that you didnt really have a solid game plan. the result is that youre constantly questioning stuff and not committing to anything. I think you need to lok at fundamentals, literally just by saying “where do I want to stand? how do I want to test if hes mashing shit” etc. Just get a gameplan (can be basic, so literally “Ill stand at C.MK and spam it waiting for jumps n SRK”) - simple, but at least you then have something solid to aim at, then just adapt. As I said know your combos n punishes, but yeah, not too bad, just think a bit more IMO.
most urgent thing you need to do is work on your anti-air
