    Official Talk is Cheap - Ryu Match Up Thread

    I think Dreamland is overall Ryu's worst stage since he can't go far underneath it and whispy messes up ledge guarding attempts which is huge. I understand these maps are not very good for someone like Sonic but I know he also has specific movement options here that I'm very unfamiliar with...

    Official Talk is Cheap - Ryu Match Up Thread

    So coming off my win over 6wx at Smashadelphia (2-1), I'm confident adding to this post my thoughts after solidifying them in bracket. For starters, I believe the MU to be even or slightly in sonics favor. I do not think Ryu has the tools to completely neutralize and negate sonic play...

    Data Sonic and the Book of Matchups

    Hey Sonic Boards. I'm Hooded representing the Ryu boards. It would be tremendously helpful if you guys came over to add your 2 cents on the Ryu/Sonic MU :) http://smashboards.com/threads/ryu-matchup-discussion-2-sonic.436297/

    Official Talk is Cheap - Ryu Match Up Thread

    Keep all relevant data and opinions of this matchup on this thread. Once the discussion is finished, I will archive this thread into the main Matchup thread. This is simply more convenient to see and use especially since the old thread is finally back and here to stay. :4sonic: GO Relevant...

    Optimized ftilt usage and combos

    I've tested both before so please double check. With no DI, I got nair and dair

    Optimized ftilt usage and combos

    Really? That doesn't sound right. I'm talking about hip check ftilt.... I've totally gotten guaranteed conversions into nair and dair off of that

    Dragon Dojo - Weekly Match Analysis

    Was not able to watch part 1 yet but based on part 2, venom found himself not reading keys movement patterns. While Venom did a great job of not being anxious or rushing into a fight, he kept making predictable walls and setups that kels punished. You can see several instances of this in the air...

    Optimized ftilt usage and combos

    Good testing man! Though I don't see any FH Nair or Dair conversions?

    Where's our results?

    I have been in such an unfortunate position missing majors like Pound and Glitch even though I signed up for both, things have come up :(. I've been placing consistently well in the tristate regions taking games from Vex, Blue, False, Keitaro, TheGreatGonzales among others but haven't been able...

    AMA - For any and all Ryu mains!

    First off, input tatsu only influences damage which in turn influences knockback so the only time I'd use it recovering is if there was a slight chance someone would jump off and get hit the other way but the normal version wouldn't kill.....and that's an extremely rare situation I will probably...

    AMA - For any and all Ryu mains!

    Sorry for the delayed response. Ryu's bad MUs as of now are diddy kong and villager and only by a 55/45 margin or better. When fighting diddy kong, ryu is much slower on the ground then him allowing for him to run away and take out a banana. With a banana Diddy has a far more advantageous...

    AMA - For any and all Ryu mains!

    Sorry for the delayed reply. As far as pressing an advantage Ryu is definitely the man arguably having the best punish game behind Bayonetta. Pushing advantages offstage for him I'd say takes some getting used to since it's not so cut and dry as falcon's bait air dodge method but something to...

    AMA - For any and all Ryu mains!

    I'm afraid I have no played Street Fighter. I think it most definitely would be very helpful for bringing to Ryu though I don't think you need to make yourself understand SF fundamentals first to play him. I'm still getting a handle on his pokes and whiff punishes which are common in SF play. Up...

    I really like FH Rising FA haha. You need to get it very quickly or frame perfectly. You can consistently do it frame perfectly by setting your trigger to jump so you can jump and hold down b at the same time. If not, just be VERY quick

    slow the fall? Try using C-stick with the dair. Using buttons will make you fast fall at the same time if you're not careful. Besides that, the speed you fall is the speed you fall but I think what I said above is your problem :).
