Probably means they got rid of the DP Shortcut change they made before.
…why they did seems odd to me, but whatever. Can’t complain too much with that new DA-DA-DAMAGE potentially on the table.
Meh id say thats to much waste of a meter. Id still rather just have it be a frame faster, and fix the fact that it doesnt do counter hit damage. The whole point of the move is its actually a legit anti air ultra, say unlike kens who loses to often or goukens. The actual idea of ryus DP ultra as a DP ultra is there. It actually works. Problem is for some reason again it doesnt do as much damage as it should. I dont think giving it more expensive ways to use it are the right way to make it better.
Crouching MK disable SRK by simple command
Ryu’s Crouching MK hadouken cancel is also a true blockstring from FARTHER ranges now!!!
Got a vid? has it been confirmed?
there is it from eventhubs. If they leave everything else intact with c.mk plus those buffs then Ryu’s footsies are even better.
Rockman85 has the details!
Thanks!
Hmm, I’m rather clueless so this might be a stupid question, but looking at all the changes I wonder what advantages Ryu will have over Evil Ryu.
E.Ryu’s health used to be lower, but in USF4 it’s up to 950, which is only a little bit less than Ryu. He has all the tools Ryu has, and a dive-kick, shakunetu fireball, teleport on top of it, and let’s not forget his stomp thing. The new E.Ryu will also have a very good sweep. All this for 50 health.
I bet the disadvantages will be things like “c.mk into hadoken is not a true blockstring at max range”…
Ok, he doesn’t have a super like Ryu. Ryu’s super is pretty neat, although I think that “isshun sengeki” thing isn’t bad either.
not sure if this was confirmed, but i thought ryu’s low forward xx fireball was turning into a true blockstring? isn’t that a huge buff? his zoning capability and ground game will be a lot better off when characters can’t focus forward dash the fireball after blocking low forward, or when balrog can’t buffer an armored punch to absorb the fireball.
Not really a true blockstring; they give 1 more frame of block stun to cr mk so it will work better than in v2012 at more ranges but still not a true blockstring.
According to someone name SlamJam in the comment section on eventhubs Ryu’s c.mk has one extra frame on block and hit.
If the info is true, that’s very good; still not a true block string.
meh seems pretty insignificant
Honestly I would be completely satisfied if Ryu only got this buff (1 frame hit and blockstun on cr.mk)…we can be super happy if this gets into the final version guys!
That’s not to much meter for full ultra 2. Eryu does 500+ dmg with his ultra 2. It costs 3 bars as well. That’d be a great change if they leave it in.
Anyone considering switching to Poison? According to Eventhubs she plays like a better version of Ryu. Definitely looking forward to learning her plus shes hot.
Never thought she would play like Ryu. Interesting. Gonna check that out.
Poison is a HE.
The change to the startup frames on E. Ryu’s crouching h kick alone is huge. Opens up a lot more mixup opportunities
Would still bang.
iirc, poison was only called a man in the us to censor violence against women. everywhere else she was always a woman. but since merica is all that matters, out dated censorship in one country that doesn’t exist in video games today still dictates the lore of capcom’s sexiest slum ho…
and when people talk about how gdlk eryu is to ryu, how come nobody ever talks about those sexy foward/backward dashes he has that rapes ryu at footsie range…
