It’s true, but only for the weak hit of shoryu as far as I know. Due to SDI, the opponent simply can slip out of the sweet spot. If your opponent doesn’t SDI, by all means, go ahead. On the competitive level though, it’s just unrealistic. You want a more practical combo which’ll guarantee a...

Welp, 7.0 dropped the other day and the shotos got many buffs. Though, I simply don’t understand how through all the changes made to them Ryu’s n-air still hasn’t been made identical to Ken’s (frame data wise). It’s simply ridiculous that this change hasn’t been made yet. Many of you don’t play...

The whole jumping system/mechanics were rather screwed up imo in Ultimate (I prefer sm4sh’s more basic system). I’m fine with pressing 2 jump buttons to get a short-hop, but full-hops were just made more difficult and you can no longer do frame perfect full-hop aerials (as well buffer one)...

Still waiting for Short-hop Aerial Tech to be optional in the control settings and Ryu’s N-air duration to be reduced. Wonder if I will ever get either of them, but one would make my day and I’d play Ultimate more if so.

Shadow by far.

These changes would not make them by any means broken. They would benefit from this by helping them compete against top tiers and characters with major comeback features (pretty much all newer DLC fighters), and make them more unique like in their own game series. I’ve mained Ryu since his...

More settings in the controls menu. For example, being able to turn off short-hop aerial tech or have a jump button for short-hop and another for full-hop. This is the only thing I plead for.

Remove short-hop aerial tech and I’ll be happy with the game. That’s the main complaint I have against the game, and to me it’s a big one. Not being able to perform frame perfect full-hop aerials like you could in previous smash titles is ridiculous in all honesty. This added tech in ultimate...

Yes, it’s just medium jab up close. Sorry about that. I’ll add that under the terms section.

Good work! Very useful. Thank you for the information!

Swordmaster102 updated The Ryu Combo Guide with a new update entry: Ryu Combo Guide for 3.1.0 Update Read the rest of this update entry...

After a decent amount of time and testing, I decided to update the Ryu Combo Guide for the 3.1.0 update. As far as I know, it now has all the new optimum combos, especially with the new medium up tilt. Let me know if I missed anything. Enjoy!

Nerfs probably will be coming, especially for the Heavy u-tilt. The new tool is amazing for Ryu, but I feel that Ken just takes it to a whole new level. Ken can grab a kill off of d-air at 42%’ish because of this. I want the shotos (particularly Ryu since he’s my main) to be solid in the meta...

Yes. As you stated, Ryu can only absorb 1-hit attacks. The thing though is that it can only take in so much damage for that one attack. I don’t have the numbers (exact percentages), but as Ryu charges his FA, it’s damage cap that it can take increases. So a level 3 FA can take in a meatier hit...
