Ryu guide and library

hi, i'm drezy, i'm just a random ryu-main and this is my guide. until i'm done with it, it's sort of my Ryu-library. I want to compile links, combos, matchup stuff and general thoughts, so basicly my entire knowledge about the charcter. this is work in progress and will take some time since i'm a scrub at tiping, so if you want to add anything write me a message or post a comment :-)
but mostly: enjoy!



Attributes
Ryu is a heavyweight with average run and really slow walkspeed. walking is still super good tho, because he keeps access to his awesome tilts. also he got a decent perfect pivot.
he has good air speed but terrible air acceleration, sohe prettyfast in the but he has a hard time changing momentum if not for b-reverses with focus and hadouken. plus his fast fall accelerates him less than other characters which leads to him getting juggled longer sometimes.
his framedata on dodgemoves is pretty bad but his other moves have really good framedata. plus he has some of the most damaging attacks and combos combined with strong killpower.
his recovery allows him to live long and abuse rage. however his revory is also deceptive to edgeguards especially if ryu loses his jump.

Moves
I've put links further down where you can look up framedata and hitboxes, maybe at some point i can put the info right next to the described move :-)

weak tilts
you can activate these by quikly tapping the attack button

jab
fast, decent range, first hit can be specialcanceled and hits lower than uptilt. the whole jabcombo deals 10% however it is mostly outclassed by:

up-tilt
fast, decent range, low lag, specialcancelable, combos in too a lot of things, creates ledgetraps and is overall one of his best moves

down-tilt
a bit faster and a bit longer range than uptilt. can shield poke more easily.it is specialcancelable so it also confirms into shoryu but all in all its combo potential is a weaker than uptilts

forward-tilt
foot is intangible, mostly used for footsies. pivot f-tilt can start situational combos

strong tilts
you activate these by holding the attack button down for a moment
