you said use hadoukens more....but i didn't use them too much because luma blocks them for rosa and then rosa and come up and punish me for using them, yes?
Oh I didn't mean to say use it more. Try to use it as a light punish if the Rosa you play commits to using a certain move too much, such as up-smash. But what you said about Luma eating it might be true. It will either take it and keep moving or if it gets hit it will suffer very little stun. Sorry for the misunderstanding m8.
Look man, this isn't the place to ask such questions. I dont wanna be an a-hole or nothin though, I hope you get that.Also i need a sparring buddy who also mains ryu
Yo!! I've watched your games man. I've even seen you comentate before. If you would like critique you'll have to give me some time since I'm not home. But regardless welcome to the Ryu boards and this thread in particular!
As I watch these videos I noticed you really like to be aggressive. It works out really fine and against heavier characters or tall/large characters. But you have to be careful of the smaller characters such as Olimar. In the Bowser and Ryu ditto you presented phenomenal air movement with the FADCing all over the place, you really got that one down. Against Denti you didn't have the same air mobility as in the other games. I'm not sure if it's just the matchup that you weren't prepared for or if the matchup might actually be a troublesome one for Ryu. After watching the Olimar game I would assume (meaning take this with a grain of salt) that spacing, patience, defensiveness, are key factors in playing an Olimar of Denti's caliber. Olimar likes to force the approach with his pikmin and for Ryu to approach is a scary task. Since I do not have much matchup knowledge all I could really say is destroy the innocence of those Pikmin and space/condition with Hados more. For the Captain Falcon matchup you need to play a bit more defensive I think just because Falcon is much faster than Ryu in almost all ways. Falcon can combo with those Up-airs and not care about FADC. I think you should use Falcons aggressive nature to your benefit and bring him to you. Stay away from him and when he comes in shield/spot dodge/ air dodge and punish with a certain combo. Maybe you can even work on gimping his recovery since it is pretty straightforward. You seemed to have the yoshi game under control until the last second and then you got hit. Yoshi is much like Olimar in the sense that he forces approaches with the egg. Had you played a more defensive throughout that game I think you would have won.
Thanks for the shoutout Chris. But yeah I also noticed the same thing. Great usage of FADC in bowser game but nearly non-existent in the falcon game. Also loved the double FADC to air dodge read spike you had on bowser. Solid read and you were very happy about it as well
. I think you need to take into consideration what Chris said....I also like to be very aggressive but when it comes to Ryu, his approaches are trash. They're all commitments that if you mis-read, you'll get punished. The only "safe" move to through out for spacing is Bair....but we know that's not really safe. Besides that, you have to mix up approaches between grabs, falling aerials, tomahawks, or FADC back hadukens. Basically you want to mixup your opponent and we achieve this very well with FADC. Your Ryu looks very solid. Sad to see you switch to fox on that falcon set but I get it.
k it's vital to use for movement but he read me well sometimes when I used it from being hit into the air. That's where I need to be careful and either not use it or use it better. I made some bad FA reads and aware of that. I need to get the kills though. I could have one game 2 after jab near the end but instead went for jab combo. My offstage game with Ryu isn't super comfortable yet but working on it. Thanks for advice!
While I agree it's vital for movement I think an argument can be made for "less is more". Such an example being if I know you're quick to use FA in the air,while jumping In at me I know you have to commit to either 26 Frames minimum before doing an Dash Cancel, which also makes you more vulnerable if they read it. Whereas if you did it less I know need to think ahead such as "He has used FADC for movement but sometime he land's next to me without doing it and sometimes he sticks out an aerial" This forces your opponent to guess which one you're gonna do and react.
And hooded for the first vid I was really surprised because it did not seem that I hit the Mario with the back part of the tatsu and it usually does not kill at that percent for me.
Hey Zero, you might wanna be careful about double posting, I got a warning on one. if there hasn't been a post since your last post editing it and adding what you wanted to say won't get you int trouble.
Hmm, unless AlmostLegendary moved, that would mean you live in NJ correct?
Yup haha. You know him? He's a cool guy
3ds im still new to forms mind linking me other ryu forums
I can't really tell if you want critique or an answer to the question above. I cant really answer your question since I don't really run a spectacular channel, so I'll just give critique.
Feels like you're missing something. Solid neutral, lots of grabs, but no kills. For sure, your combo game could use some juice.
Okay your ryu needs some serious tuning in the punishing department... Scratch that I want every Ryu to work on this simple thing.
I watch the first match vs roy only. Bad connection
i do know what FADC is, and its just in these particular matches that its not as clear when i use it, i have about 300 matches so far, and i continue to learn more options with Ryu, but feedback like this is much better, i will admit i should get into the habbit of doing an FADC > EX Shoryuken, because that is a very powerful kill move, i fought some Ryu's that just using it after an air attack or even just dashing forward, the few frames of invincibility is more than enough to get the kill,
Your combos are decent and I love the "tick throws". You've got a nice neutral for sure, but I feel like you're lacking aerial mobility (offstage mobility to be more specific). For some of those edge guards sheik got on you going deep with fair you could have armored through and fadc, and then done a rising true tatsu. That thing can let you recover from the depths of FD, and even if it doesn't shoryuken after and you'll almost always be able to reach the ledge.. Rising tatsu probably would have hit sheik when she was attempting to edge guard offstage as well. Great get off me option when the opponent is going for a gimp imo. And the final thing I want to mention is that ryu has more kill moves than true shoryu. Pretty sure every one of your kills was true shoryu, but after 120 there are other options, safer if you hit a shield or miss your punish. Faster as well. First off, I would like to say that if someone does an unsafe move with low ending lag, then don't risk the true shoryu punish. Try and jab-> true shoryu instead. If jab hits shield then back off. Second, 150+ without rage h utilt kills. Probably like 130 with. Haven't done percentage testing yet. H jab kills around the same percent. Fsmash I've had kill near the side of FD at 90. Middle 110 with some rage. Bair kills around 120 middle of FD as well. If you're catching jumps from a ledge trap then it should kill around 90-100. Point is shoryu is ryu's strongest kill option up until about 100%, and then it's no better than anything else. Whatever can net the kill is what you should be going for.
Nice stuff man will definitely put in the op when I'm at my computer
