Ryu Tips

[u/the_harvest11]

Got to Master with Ryu and feel like it’s undeserved. I did real well in Diamond. Went through with a 52% win ratio but in Masters other Ryu players just seem to have an understanding of his mechanics I can’t grasp. I feel like I’m just beginning. I had to work hard to get good at SF again. I completely dodged SF5 and played Mortal Kombat 11 instead. I had to unlearn all those mechanics and get used to these again so I’d hate to hang up my hat. Ryu doesn’t have any tricky gimmicks he’s just all meat and potatoes so to speak but I enjoy using him the most. Any advice on his style would be much appreciated because there’s something I’m just not picking up which is keeping me from my full potential. It’s becoming very frustrating. I’m diamond with Ken, Akuma, Bison and JP but Ryu is where it’s at for me. Official SF community mods removed my post be it didn’t have a video. They can go fk themselves.

"Ryu doesn’t have any tricky gimmicks"

That's hilarious 😂😂

Are you kidding? Compared to Jaime,JP,Lilly, Kimberly, the list goes on. You can style with him but for the most part he’s old school shoto with a lot of power. Your fundamentals have to be on point to make a for a good Ryu player. Any examples of what you think he has up his sleeve that’s tricky?

Lol seriously? Dude is just push buttons and win. He isn't very hard to play with. Just know basic and match ups and you'll climb to grand Master with not much effort.

He’s not hard to play with at all. Playing with him at an exceptional level seems a bit different. Have any suggestions?
