Lol, I hope it didn’t seem like there was a lot of attitude with my post, it wasn’t mostly joking, but I didn’t know people were posting art there… admittedly, I’ve pretty much ignored Discord.
Think that’ll change pretty fast once people start learning him. Like if you throw a fireball from at least round start position it’s extremely easy to slide under on reaction. Anything past that, just keep walking forward or coward crouching until you’re in that range. Bad Ryus will keep throwing fireballs, good ones will stop throwing them since they will get punished. Either way you stop them from throwing fireballs.
On top of all of the other options he has EX command grab is projectile invincible, his VT1 horizontal balls are projectile invincible and his up balls are full invincible on start up and projectile invincible as well. Basically in the long run you’re not going to be having a very successful fireball game vs Blanka. Guile and Nash at least have the recovery and frame advantage on block to bait his tools better, but Ryu is just gonna be walking on eggshells to throw any fireball.
