    Q&A You Found the Hint Glasses! - Q&A and FAQ

    Multiple questions: Are there any matches that involve the use of toss cancelling? Do you think toss cancelling was a broken mechanic, by broken I mean not in an undefeatable way but what exactly were the effects from cancelling out of hitstun? Could you just bomb someone immediately after they...

    Ryu Grab Combos

    Power shielding actually makes it faster since the main reason you want to shield grab is to avoid the shield drop frames. Upon reviewing his frame data it's actually 4 frames slower rather then 2 (my b, thought grab was frame 7[it's 6] and up-tilt was frame 2[it's 3]). Upon perfect shielding...

    Ryu Grab Combos

    Okay then. Just so you know up-tilting after dropping shield is only two frames slower than shield grabbing.

    Ryu Grab Combos

    Down-throw -> up-tilt works on some fast fallers at 0%. After that you have to guess what they're going to do up until about 80%. Go for back throw after 80% for stage control and 13%. Up-throw starts killing around 160% with rage. Out of curiosity, when are you going for grabs?

    Option select: weak up-tilt > shoryuken

    I's true. I only play smash, lol.

    Is Ryu candidate for top tier?

    By absurd mechanic I'm assuming you mean Luma. B-air it once or twice and it's dead. Heavy jab works well too. Rosalina and luma imo aren't to hard for ryu. Kill luma then play neutral against a relatively bad character. Also you can fadc even if you don't hit rosa and only hit luma thus...

    Is Ryu candidate for top tier?

    For Olimar I personally just use ROB since smart gyro usage practically invalidates pikmin. I agree that Ryu beets Mario slightly but I think Mario has a better MU spread. Imo Pikachu, Mario, Ryu, and Rosa are all about the same level, amazing but not flawless/start killing at 30%. My order is...

    Is Ryu candidate for top tier?

    My main problem with pikmin is the added hitlag. It's not the camping so much as if his side-special touches you you're gonna have a lot more lag on nearly all of your moves. He also has lots of disjoints which is a pain. For megaman, I just don't know how to fight him so I fail every time I...

    Is Ryu candidate for top tier?

    Imo no, top 10 for sure, probably top 5, but not top 3. He struggles with Pikmin&Olimar, MegaMan, and other zoning characters due to low mobility and a meh projectile. My list goes something like: Shiek, ZSS, Pikachu, Mario, Ryu, then Rosalina and Luma. While we go nearly even with the top tiers...

    Option select: weak up-tilt > shoryuken

    I don't think so. You'd have to do the true input before the buffer window in order to keep it an option select. If it is possible you'd have to be nearly frame perfect since the minimum amount of time to do true shoryuken is 3 frames. I have to press B as fast as possible in order to get it to...

    Option select: weak up-tilt > shoryuken

    Good to know. I tried this in training mode and it requires some precise timing because of buffering but is still useful. Imo using his hitlag to create option selects will be the future of this character.
