Get’s nothing from throw if he dashes ( he does if he doesnt move) - he’s between plus 4-6 on the Dp from memory but you’ll beat the meaty if you back rise.
Click the link in my signature - there’s a video - Episode 2 - the meaty game - It has all of Ryu’s common meaty set ups after each scenario but if you can’t be bothered to watch -
Meaty’s after every tatsu
Meaty’s after EX fireball
Meaty’s after DP
Meaty’s after sweep
No meaty’s after either throw ( bar solar plexus or a manually timed meaty from where he threw you)
A lot of meaties negated if you back rise ( DP, EX fireball, Throw, Sweep - spacing dependant)
More info that will help you -
Always press something after a blocked solar plexus ( they might Dp, but this is scrubby)
Always press something after a blocked axe kick because he’s going to use st.lk which is 4 frames - at worst you’ll probably trade
Don’t press anything after a blocked cr.mp
Highlandfireballs top tip that nobody seems to do unless you’re an old school player -
Neutral jump the fireballs - only one fireball can exist on the screen at any given time - neutral jumping allows the fireball to remain on the screen longer ( thus giving you more frame advantage to move forward when you land) than if you let it dissipate on your block ( putting you negative for a short period). A lot of Ryu players will zone with the LP fireball as it’s got the best data, but the slowness means it’s a bonus for you if you do neutral jump.
Neutral jump …move forward… repeat til in range of fireball start up box - press shit.
Lesson over - my shit is finished and I have to wipe my ass now - approaching dryness.
Thanks. I’ll put it to work tomorrow. But I fucking bet my left hand that the first time I’ll try punishing a dash, the Ryu will do dash shoryuken. It’s fate.
That axe kick was the bane of my existence yesterday. I would see him whiff, I would try to take my turn with a medium, and get CC sweeped every single time. It wouldn’t happen if I learned though. I blame it on the fact that most of his shit looks like it shouldn’t happen, so you try the same thing because he was lucky the other time. But Ryu is always lucky.
@Rugalitarian
If you still want someone to play I’ll be free in 10 minutes. I will relish the opportunity to beat your ass for all the shit you threw at Lords of Shadow.
