don’t know if you guys watched it, Ruu won the latest TRF tourny and his Ryu is beastly as always. his zoning and footsies game is soo good. one of the premier ryu player i think.
^ You got any links to Ruu in action? His Ryu in Third Strike was beastly!

12-26 TRF. part 7 have him playing against a sagat in winners and a dictator for the finals. I’m pretty sure that’s him.
Link gives me an error and says not found :crybaby: any way of getting another link or youtubing it or whatever?
try this one:

Thanks man, I appreciate it :rock:
Edit: Epic way to win with Ryu jumping MP land Ultra, good stuff man, these vids where badass…anyone know how the hell Dictator was doing like 2039482039 scissors with what looked like no charging involved (against the Rufus player)…unless my pc was just uploading slow or what not?
I loved the way he handled Sagat, especially when he knew he couldn’t win the fireball fight, and his positioning against Bison too was nice.
Is there any place where I can get a moveset/execution list?

Some of it is really wrong, but it should do you well.
Praise ye!
I’ve been sifting through these character threads for basic movelists and all I get are frame data and abbreviations to stuff I don’t know.
I’ve seen a lot of match vids with Ryu players, but something I haven’t had a chance to see–does Ryu still juggle with his aerial MP?
and if so, is it possible to land just one MP and combo into something else when you land? (ideally, Ultra)
edit: haha, I just read TrueSephiroth’s post… I guess the verdict’s in already 
now the question is, would it be practical to shoryu -> FADC -> j. MP -> Ultra, instead of skipping over that MP to Ultra sooner like most people do? damage scaling might make it moot
That’s interesting…I’ll try it out today. I’ll see if it works, and if it’s any good.
I do jumping MP to Ultra ALL the time, people really do take it for granted around here where I play. Doing it out of FADC (if that even works) is IMO a waste of bar because of the massive damage scaling you’ll take when you could just do Shoryu > FADC > Ultra lol.
if u land only 1 hit of the mp i believe u can still juggle with srk SADC into ultra. even tho ur wasting bar but its still a gurantee hit. hopefully someone can confirm it if it doesnt only work in the corner tho
In this video around the 1:56 Mark you see Daigo do EX Tatsu into Ultra.

Is this combo only possible in the corner, Or can it be done at any position on the screen, If it’s only in a corner-only situation that could mean it’s an unreliable tactic since it could throw the opponent in the opposite direction. (Since EX Tatsu could send the opponent an either direction)
Or is Shoryuken, FADC into Ultra a more viable tactic due to less hits and less damage scaling, or does the EX Tatsu don’t scale the damage of the Ultra as much.
I am asking because, I have a few setups that are pretty much all get link into a EX Tatsu most of the time.
One last question, If you can link into Ultra, if you don’t have revenge filled enough, can you substitute using Shinkuu Hadouken in place as a finisher for combos instead of Ultra?
EX Tatsu, Ultra only works in the corner. It’s better to do that in the corner because it is much more meter efficient than SRK FADC.
Yes, you can replace Ultra with Super at the end of combos. His super links off of short tatsu, and jab DP. You can super cancel into super from a hadouken, and also super cancel from a DP.
If your opponent is in the corner, and you perform a setup (something as simple as down Medium kick) into EX tatsu, the opponent will always 100% collide with the corner.
Otherwise , buffer the Ultra and when you see the opponent fly into the right direction, slam the punch buttons.
i think dhalsim is the exception though
twice i hit him with c.mk into ex tatsu and it didnt knock him down. and he was in the corner
Hold Dat is right. You can hit Dhalsim with it, but for some odd reason he doesn’t get hit by all of the EX Tatsu. He’ll suddenly be standing in front of you.
good find, should add it to list of bugs
I may be wrong, but I think Ryu’s kinda nerfed. The main reason being that he doesnt have the High Blade Kick from 3rd strike which to me was a extremely effectice move and combo starter cus the ex version bounces off the wall, not to mention it one of the coolest attacks ive ever seen in street fighter. it seems like his only specialty now is keeping away with hadoukens, but all shotos can do that but ken and akuma have a stronger, faster in your face offense. IDK he just doesnt feel that unique to me in this game, but thats just my opinion. I feel as tho he needs the high blade kick for that extra signature. Im not saying he’s trash, but not as unique or defined as ken or akuma.
