yes Rolento is tricky, I use the sweep cancel into fireball to make it safe. bait him with cancelled firballs from mid screen and use alpha counters. Never stick a medium P or K when your close. Oh and they like to use c.Mk to get the rekka. If u can see one coming throw a launcher out at they avoid lows. But yeh just zone him out and counter his jumpins with c.HP
forward mp according to the guide is +4 on hit, and you definitely have moves that are 3 frame normals, as i do not currently have the game with me, is this actually correct? Can you combo off Ryu’s overhead?
He gets pushed too far away to use any normals, and that’s actually the same as in SF4. He could do an SRK though (I’ve done that myself in training mode (which was, again, also possible in SF4)).
Can’t connect SRK on crouching characters, at least when I tested. Tag cancel from overhead works though, you can combo from it.
As for Rolento, fireball trap that mofo. I might have said this before, but backdash during his blockstrings. Or you could always take a risk and uppercut.
against rolento using ryu… try hitting him with fireballs just outside his longest poke… once he gets hit by one, try doing a fake FB then back dash to DP or forward dash and do cr.mk.
from point blank overhead you can combo with standing light punch into anything you like for some nice damage. srk works too, although i’m finding it harder to link than the standing lp for some reason.
from anything but point blank distance you won’t be able to connect anything cause of the pushback…
im sure everyone knows how to play against ryu by this time.
that’s only on a standing opponent, after i tested it anyway i could land big combos on standing guys, which isn’t particularly important sadly
well not sadly i was asking for a friend of mine i think ryu is dumb myself LOL
So what about setups-gimmicks guys?
After forward throw: whiff lk-tatsu (small delay), lk-tatsu (crossup) this is not really useful midscreen. But in the corner you can get m. mk xx super/cross or c. mk xx hp-dp
After forward throw: backdash, j. tatsu (crossup), super or sweep
The roll will mess with this, so safejumping is not as strong, but I would still like to hear what your guys have found?
What the HELL is “Joudan”?
I’ve spent a year now learning SF terminology, and I really understand why this community is so narrow and underpopulated.
It’s not even stated in the various guides to Street Fighter terminology.
Ryu’s donkey kick.
Ok so I’m still somewhat new to fighting games and I have a question. With Ryu, i know that I basically have to poke with Cr. MK and punish reaction, but i don’t know how to pressure. can anyone help me with this? also i don’t know how to reversal when im blocking a blockstring. (more specifically i dont know WHEN to reversal) - you just let go of block and input srk correct? Someone please help me with this, i really wanna get good at this game.
Jesus christ!!
Yes, you just let go of block and input the SRK.
A few basic ways to pressure:
[LIST=1]
[]Pressure with well spaced fireballs just outside of their effective poke range and try to bait them to jump so you can anti-air.
[]Walk up with cr.MK at around max distance and either do a fireball or walk up poke again unless you’re predicting a whiff, then you can just wait to whiff punish.
[*]Up close, walking st.LP or cr.MP pressure mixed in with throws and overheads.
[/LIST]
Anyone made frame data for Ryu?
Anyone else find it really difficult to perform a special cancel straight after a tighter link, say, c.lp [2f link] c.mk xx Donkey Kick? Good god this drives me nuts. I seem to rush into the cancel which screws up the link. Think I may have to stick to hit confirming with c.mp, c.mp instead of c.lk, c.lp.
Are you getting a cross rush from cr.lp to cr.mk?
Also cr.mp is better anyway.
I think you should always start your cross rushes from a cr lk
Cr lk has the same range as Lp and it hits low
The Wway I do cross rushes is
Standing
Cr Lk Cr mk St Hk
Crouching
Cr lk Cr mk St Hp
My Crouching one is kind of inconsistant
No, I usually either get no mk because I’m hitting it early or the link is too late.
