Actually I just went with two neutral assists for Ryu. I’m running Arthur’s Daggers as my second assist to mystic Ray. Also I’m able to use MR at the end of a combo like so: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ijBatTLXd4Y
Also I can OTG front grabs from MR assist. Arthur’s assist I use for getting in and they hold my foe in place for me to start a combo or mix up. Example: pressure with Ryu, call Arthur go for over head hit if fail Denjin cancel on first hit then go low to over head. Usually opens people up do to fuzzy guards.
