The Official RYU thread (because being generic never hurt anyone)

i discovered some ryu stuff while playing today.

You can link c.mp into almost anything. jump in rh c.mp c.mk ex tatsu is pretty good.

Close Standing Fierce is not safe on block. It can be punished by any fast ultra when blocked.

wake up ex tatsu can be beaten by neutral throw.

Forward fierce links into shoryu.

Edit: almost forgot. If you land an air to air mk. you will land in time to to dash to the other side that they land. This is dirty because the camera comes back down a little late and it gives the player very little time to react.

I know srk SA cancel goes into ultra but i’ve been trying to find other things it might go into. But so far no luck =(. his shoryu knocks them far as shit.

Yeah Ryu seems to be a beast. Daigo plays very well with him.

Just dunno understand why he gets METSU Hadoken and not Denjin Hadoken. It is confusing to see him using purple evil hadoken.

By the way I hope somoeone opens a Ken thread and Daigo will play with him as well. So I can copy some cool combos.

Almost how like Luke used force choke in EPVI…

Oh wait, I don’t really mind. It’s awesome. :rofl:

Does Ken’s ULT hit like a Shin Sho?

I.E if you jump in and Ken hits you with the 1st hit you get sucked in or will you fall out?

we mentioned it does have hit properties like a shin shoryuken, but we were talking more the look of epic punch, epic punch, into shoryuken.

Yeah no one knows about why its metsu and not denjin, even though someone said capcom vouches that denjin partly uses SnH. either ono didnt care and thought it was cool to see in the Vs games so he broguht it over, or there will be some new info as to why Ryu uses that. maybe it will be explained in the game ending indirectly (maybe itll talk about how Ryu can use SnH like powers without fully going “evil”…but i think thats way too middle of the road and generic.)

Wait.

Daigo is back in the game?

The first is like Makoto’s Seichusen Godanzuki or Q’s Double Deadly. One big ass close hit that stuns, with alot more damage on the way. They’re all ShinSho’s if you land the first hit.

Ryu never goes “evil”. Evil Ryu doesn’t exist. He only just uses moves with Dark Hadou(like when he scarred Sagat).

Did he leave or something?

I thought he only played like Super Turbo and Darkstalkers now. And even then, not those two games really that much.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I understood as well. Either way, we don’t really know he’s back or if he’s gonna stay casual.

He’s still pretty young so I think it’s pretty fair to assume he’s gonna be back at it.

EDIT: furthermore is that for certain Daigo playing Ryu?

I cant wait to play the game, but i find it hard to sit threw watching a match :(. The daigo stuff was cool sure but id almost rather go check out the end of a seatle toury hosted by preppy then watch most of these matches. Not hating, i realy cant wait to play…but damn, in the vein of cvs2(most of the time) the matches are almost downright unwatchable :confused:

uh thats because most of the players arent very good

Quick ? when you get a premium does your dick get smaller? Just asking since the peeps who randomly neg others are to chicken shit to leave there name or a real reason why they are upset or have sand in their pussy seem to have dicks smaller than a circuit breaker… and leave comments like fanboi instead… Not mad just don’t get it and considering a premium till I heard the dick shrinkage thing. Don’t want to end up like those pole smokers… On topic, Ryu is totally awesome!!!(whats a fanboy???)

probably because denjin + no parries + 4 EX = omgwtfbbq

although he doesn’t have the donkey kick.

I’d rather have the Ultra/Metsu Hadouken over the ShinSho, simply because although it would be great to have Ryu with the ShinSho. I’d rather be seeing Ken utilize an ultra pertaining to a Shoryuken then Ryu, simply because storyline wise, Ryu is the better channel of the two with the Hadouken.

Also, a super Hadouken, or in this case, the Metsu/Ultra Hadouken in-game wise would be more efficient anyhow, which is what I would rather prefer over visual looks. Not to mention to make both Ryu and Ken more unique in their ultra’s.

Lastly, Denjin wouldn’t work so well in SF:IV because in a game like SFIII with a Parry system built in, Denjin wasn’t stupid powerful. The only way to make Denjin work would have been to nerf it to the point in which it wouldn’t be very effective at all. Otherwise if Denjin was like SFIII 2I/3S Ryu Denjin…that shit would be basically a free special on the opponent.

People who still wanted a S.SRK in the game aren’t talking about similar hit properties. Its more the look.

Also there is a reason I put “evil” in quotes there. I think everyone has read the canon by now. Its not like you’re stating anything revealing.

Being a 3S noob (I don’t touch 3S), what makes if stupid powerful/free?

Denjin is unblockable and does massive hit stun. And if he dizzys, free combo. So with out parry, it would be just wrong.

I was really hoping for his step kick in this one :shake:

Denjin was in cvs2, if it was that version of denjin it would suck. And 3S denjin would be a bitch.

Only with evil Ryu which is tourny banned.

And here I thought Ryu was a mid tier for this one, seems we have a lot to discover
