"The answer lies in the heart of battle." Ryu Video Thread

its a bad habit i developed when learning ryu as a secondary character next to my bison.

usually when i knock/throw someone down i use the m.tatsu to crossup and most people don’t block it properly

that was the aim
i was going for a cheap win
he saw right through it

and im working on my anti air for sure
but it sure is hard using this tv apposed to my old one
i miss it already =(

I’m assuming you’re referring to a grounded tatsu cross up. You know you can do aerial ones that are actually ambiguous and rather hard to deal with for many people? The timing isn’t particularly difficult either. There’s no real “seeing through it” in regards to a grounded tatsu, it’s quite obvious which way it’s going and there’s no real pressure applied to the opponent.

However, something like Forward Throw > Step back for a moment > Jump > Tatsu just after the apex of your jump… if you do it properly it’s difficult to react to because it often looks ambiguous.

Hey peepz!!

MY PERSONAL CRITIC. don’t hate me :china:

VS SAKURA

- You threw and succeeded, but you didn’t take advantage of that untechable knockdown. In my personal opinion, jump in is the most offensive move you can do, and it’s free on wake up against sakura.
why don’t take advantage of it?

- you barely used low forward hadoken, or you didn’t even use it once. sakura get zoned out easly in my opinion, so, zone her out with your better fireballs and low foward hadoken.

- you started losing and started using RANDOM focus attacks, RANDOM jumping in recklessly, RANDOMLY getting hit by standing roundhouse AND RANDOMLY waste ex bars with ex hadoken.

don’t lose your cool.

i.e. you got owned round 3 of the second game.

VS GOUKI

this fight says it all. don’t jump.

sorry, i was watching akuma play… :stuck_out_tongue:


VS CLAW

nice vega. you played better 3rd round. at the start of the round watch out for a random ex barcelona, its dirty quicky, gets you off guard.
in this match up in my opinion is really important that you get a knockdown on vega, safe jump him, vega can’t do anything but block all you do.
in the 3rd round, at the end, you could have won easly if you punished the KKK backflip. instead you missed the punish multiple times in a row and then a trade decided the match.

0:47 that’s what you have to do. knock him down, don’t drop the combo, get a sweep. repeat.
look out for the df+hk pattern.
once you are out of range, block. don’t focus.

p.s. nice vega btw

you should anti-air more his jump ins. 1:31 as an example.

overall, safe jump vega on wake up and push him toward the corner with cr.hp xx Hk tatsu. don’t allow him to get away. you have to play rush down. if he starts doing PPP and KKK OS that or simply walk > sweep.

i don’t know this match up.

Hope i helped somehow :china:

cody gets raped on wake up.

no safe jumps.

also, i don’t know if i’m the only one, but i feel like there are a lot of moves just thrown out there without a reason…like the unnecessary fadc waste 2 ex meter 4 life, when you have corner advantage and life lead.

p.s. just my opinion

If anyone runs into good Dudleys can you please put up videos?
I’m trying to get better at this match up.

DEVA2010 - Alex Valle vs EGMarn - Day 3 - SSF4 TOP 8: GRAND FINAL

Might already be posted in this thread, but it’s pretty specific to the question.
Matchup wise, as long as you safe jump your untechable knockdowns you are putting Dudley at a huge disadvantage.
EDIT: assuming you already accept you should be patient and build meter with fireballs when you have space

Thanks for this.

I am learning to safe jump better especially when Dudley does a wake up ex-dp. Though the timing is a little tighter that I thought…sometimes I get hit by the wake up ex-dp.

I really don’t like Valle’s style. It seems a little too chaotic…and if you are just patient Valle seems like the type to make mistakes.

new vids vs my boy,

I think the chaotic style of valle is an advantage as a ryu player. You have to appear random otherwise you become easy to read. The only thing that disappoints me about valle in this fight was the lack of AA dps. I dont think he did one! He just let dudley in. His use of c.mk xx fireball was brilliant although he missed his ultra in one of the rounds.

Some Daigo matches from a tournament that is going on in london

More to come

Thanks for this. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets annoyed by El Fuerte.

Ryan Hart vs Daigo at svb2010 in London, UK:

[media=youtube]1v-zfL-bNL0&feature=player_embedded[/media]

Daigo initially starts off with Cammy and gets beat but then picks Ryu in a Ryu mirror match.

There are two things in this match which suprised me:

  1. None of them used SPS to counter c.mk? How comes neither of them used this? Its used all the time on online play and can lead to serious damage. Even if its blocked, from the correct range, it can still be safe. On block you can follow up with throw, c.lk!
  2. In round 2 Daigo tries to land SPS into DP but gets DP’d instead by Ryan. Was Daigo attempting SPS, c.fp xx DP and got DP’d between his SPS c.fp link?
  1. SPS is generally used to counter FAs. neither player was using them. I dont think F.FP is a good counter to C.MK… would require the opponent to be using C.MK from the wrong range. Ryan n Daigo arent likely to do that.
  2. This is the bit that messes my head up. Was there when it happened n was basically like… “W…T…F?!” Daigo definately does not go for C.FP. youd see the beginning of the animation… he basically just stands there. He was also hit in standing position… why the hell would he be standing after F.FP? I know its possible to hit S.MP and S.MK amongst others off F.FP but I’ve not seen Daigo do that ever. Theres a possibility he suspected Ryan would hit SRK in the link in case Daigo messed up, in which case Daigo cold concievably have stopped the combo intending to block and punish again for more damage, but how he messed up the block is beyond me.

Overall : I have absoltely no F***ing clue. Something was weird about this match though. Firstly Daigo picks Cammy (I know hes been using her for a while but has he used her in tournaments before? I havent seen it). He then switches to Ryu and plays shit and loses to Ryan Hart. now hate me all you want, but Ryan is not in Daigo’s league (no disrespect, its just a fact). So yah, Im confused. Daigo played beneath his regular level n died. Maybe he wanted to visit the burger van outside lol.

To be fair to Ryan though. he played really well, very smart, zoned near perfectly and the super through EX FB was F****ING TASTY!

I agree about using SPS it against people who like to spam FA’s, however I’ve used it in many mirror matches where I walk up to a ryu from mid-screen expecting a c.mk xx fireball and then hit SPS before they hit the c.mk. If they stick out c.mk my SPS hits them during the startup frames of their poke. If they sit there and block then due to the spacing, the SPS is pretty safe. I’ve had this used against me on countless occassions so I thought it would definately be used in high level play where c.mk usage is paramount…or maybe my usage of c.mk is awful, who knows!

About Daigo’s performance, I’m with you on this. I’ve watched countless videos of Daigo vs Poongko, Air, Momochi (ryu) and he never plays as crap as he did in this match. It was a tournament and it was the semi so its not as if he took it lightly…did he?

I dont want to take anything away from Ryan because you can only fight the opponent your given. Ryan was given Daigo and he beat him with his own main character. Daigo just didnt seem interested, you could see it in the way he lost when he was using Cammy. If you watch the end of the 2nd round where he is using Cammy, he is just stood their spamming dive kick!

The way he missed that SPS into (DP/any link into DP) left me baffled. Had he completed that combo he would probably have gone on to win that round and level the match.

We have seen Daigo play so much, that he’s bound to have a match where he just doesn’t perform to his full capabilities.
It’s like MJ have a bad game. Rare but it happens.

This is the bit that worries me. Did he take it lightly? Firstly the Cammy choice. Hmmmm… well he has been working Cammy lately and it would otherwise have been a mirror match. But it aint like Daigo minds mirror matches. And to bust her out in the semis?! Thats just nuts. When he played as Cammy he missed a LOT of combos, and not even hard ones (he missed air spike, S.FP Spike like 4 times!) The whole cannon spike thing at the end of round 2 was just ridiculous. Okay he coulda been building metre but to not care THAT much about losing the round… wow.

Then his game AS Ryu. Hmmm,… well it started okay and I dont blame him for having Ryan jump and FB and hit him. But unlike the usual Daigo, he didnt take that as a read on the opponent and switch tempo to punish Ryan’s risks, he just kept going. Hell, he even threw an FB from a distance where Ryan could FA and hit him… without even dashing… thats just shit spacing. And he allowed Ryan to have better use of C.MK… uhhhh… what?

Then he misses… no wait, he doesnt miss… he somehow hits F.FP and combos into STANDING AND NOT BLOCKING OR ATTACKING!!! W…T…F?!

In the game there is a LOT of evidence that he simply didnt give a shit, but I just cant see Daigo being such a dick. Hes totally respectful and always plays just for the game. Maybe there was some other reason like he felt ill, or was exhausted, or perhaps even a technical problem (is it possible there was something wrong with the stick, given that he froze in the F.FP combo and miss so much with cammy?!) TBH The ONLY thing that went right for Daigo in this match was his baiting of Zone 3 FBs into the later FB feint that resulted in Ryan’s missed ultra. other than that Daigo looked bog standard here. No flair, no mindgames, no mix-ups, no nothing… sigh. As an Englishman AND a Daigo fan I dont half wish that either Ryan had won and there was no space for questioning, or that Daigo had blown the whole country up with his godliness.

Theli : can I get your opinion on this? Oh, and Dankkk too, that’d be cool, thanks.

Just on why Daigo was using Cammy - Ryan was playing Daigo in casuals at some point and was using Dhalsim. Daigo switched to cammy and comfortably beat him. Before their semi-final match, Ryan asked for blind select and Daigo picked Cammy, expecting Ryan to pick Sim again, but he picked Ryu. So Daigo was just trying to counter pick and it backfired. Not sure why he played bad with Ryu though.

Thats interesting, thanks for the info. I still cant understand the missed links though. I mean I must have used Cammy like 5 tims in the past 6 months and Im still farily certain I could consistantly hit spike > S.FP X Arrow. Also not sure when the hell Daigo started counterpicking (talking specifically about 4 here).
