I don’t understand Ryu in SFV. Playing classic Ryu gets me blown up.

I think every Ryu has went through this, I battled continually with it for the first 4-5 months, try to zone only get blown up by ham shit or go ham like everybody else - do better.

My theory/experience so far is that playing Ryu is a case by case, character by character type style. Some you can zone, some your wasting your time trying to zone. Some you can partially zone…until meter is introduced.

The best I’ve played style wise ( and how I think he’s played) is that you sort of play this weird “pause” type game , with large portions of nothing but waiting on your opponent doing something then reacting to that - not even fireballs because most characters are just trying to either expose your lack of mid ranged buttons or expose your fireball. So you sort of become like this reactionary type zoner instead of a pro active type zoner that’s controlling ( thinking about Nash or Guile).

I’m not sure if I’m getting my point across there but his style is like a mash between turtle and counter attack.

I play Ryu on a occasion when I need a break from Alex. My reactions are trash so I can’t see myself playing Ryu that way. I find it difficult to be very proactive with how short his buttons are. My ranges are always off with him and it fucks me up. I’m seriously lost when it comes to Ryu.

I actually think it’s cool that you don’t have to press buttons like a hyper active kid with Alex. He’s good for people who have old man reactions like me. The only reason why I haven’t mained him is because I like looking at Cammy’s booty.

I know that feeling. I want to punch a baby everytime a Cammy beats me and skips the win animation.

I know I’m getting bodied all the live long day but can you offer some decent critic? I know I need to get waaaaaay better at whiff punishing. I miss out on so much damage.

It just sucks because even when I beat you guys it still feels like I’m gimmicking my way in. What’s it like on your guys end when it comes to dealing with my online thuggery?

Jerom · November 3, 2016, 9:25am

I dont really have any advice for Cammy just use her great normals for footsies and more buffering instead of just going for that divekick. Also nothing gimmicky about how you play seems like the usual Cammy antics.

If you want advice against Birdie just try your best to get in and watch me struggle to get out.

I’ve probably put about 6 collective months of effort into trying to learn Xrd, but every time I try to pick it up I reach a point where the mechanical complexity scares me back to SFV. There’s such a huge amount of stuff you need to know to be proficient at even an intermediate level in Xrd which can be overwhelming. That said, I really do love Xrd (unlike SFV) and I’ve been meaning to dedicate more time to it.

One thing I was worried about is that playing Xrd might hamper my growth as an SF player due to the radical differences between the games. I’ve realized recently that my fundamentals are absolute garbage and so I don’t want to ditch SFV until I’ve reached a point where I feel I’m a fundamentally sound as a player. Does that make sense to you, or do you think Xrd would be just as effective as making me a better overall FG player?

Hawkingbird · November 3, 2016, 9:37am

I think you should go for throws more in your pressure. Make use of s.lk more as it has little push back. Use it to tick and bait v-reversals. Switching between s.lk and Cr.lk during blockstrings might help you open people up.

You need to be good at whiff punishing with Ryu in a game where whiff punishing is dangerous because of the sweep property’s - no push back - highly negative. Ryu’s st.lk is his best button in general though outside of that, its pretty much used for everything.

anyone wanna play?

Jerom · November 3, 2016, 9:54am

HOW IS EVERYONE PLATINUM NOW!?!?!?

Fuuuuuck right when I get to gold you guys leave me ;_;

LoyalSol · November 3, 2016, 10:17am

I was Platinum 6 months ago. Get with the times!

DiasFox · November 3, 2016, 10:24am

Don’t worry, you have a Bronzie here to make you feel better. Cause I never able to get decent connection in Rank matches or just waiting players all day long.

Jerom · November 3, 2016, 10:26am

@Twinblades Some more tips. Cammy has one of the fastest long range moves in the game and Im pretty sure she can punish birdie can/banana on reaction easily anywhere on screen. Its actually really dangerous for Birdie to use his vskill against Cammy

Also his shoulder tackle normal is very unsafe. Im sure a Cammy DP can easily punish it.

Hawkingbird · November 3, 2016, 10:30am

@Twinblades
You can easily punish Birdie’s v-skill with spiral arrow. It almost never fails.

TWINBLADES · November 3, 2016, 10:31am

@Jerom @Hawkingbird @A10metal @JoeyTones

GG’s guys I love playing you. I hope to improve so I can be more of a challenge lol

@“Darc Requiem” don’t dip out next time hehehe!

Fukkin Ryu players man… You still haven’t told him the most important thing:

@Hawkingbird

Take cr.mp and use it for everything that you used cr.mk for. There you go you have your oldschool Ryu back.

Now just make sure you dp with mp as well and all is good.

If you REALLY Want to be newschool l33t with Ryu then you will also start to jumpin with j.lk and you will use mpx2 hitconfirms and block strings. Then throw a lot of course. Use cr.mp xx fireball as an easy shimmy. If it hits while you have super then just confirm into meeeeega Ryu damageroooo.

After throw just Fhp for free damage if your opponent is scared of you and panicking. If they aren’t scared then just dash throw after throw till they get scared.

Now your playin THE REAL ROOO!

Good luck and may boredom be your ally in times of wanton destruction.
