Ryu Neutral B

[DX_97]

When I am throwing out Ryu's neutral b, should i use the true inputs or just b held?

Mixing it up throws the opponent off. You have six different types of fireballs. The B button makes a small looking fireball. The true hadouken is larger, does more damage, and makes a different sounding HADOUKEN. And the red fireball looking completly different. All can be fired at different speeds. The damage isn't as important as the push it does.

There's actually 9 different hadoukens. Fast, slow, and medium versions of the regular hadouken, true input hadouken, and shakunetsu hadouken.

You wanna just keep mixing it up without overusing hadoukens. And be sure to never use one while near the opponent, you will get punished.

Medium? How so? You can either tap the B button or Hold it.

 

[Emblem Lord]

Hold it for 2 to 3 frames. That's medium version.

Blew your mind didn't I?

If ya do the input but hit grab instead of A or B ya get the light version always, nice little tip.

Yeah there are medium versions. They just aren't as useful in most cases so people forgot about them even though they were shown in the trailer. The only use I can think of for a medium input special is for TSRK (shoryuken). Medium TSRK reaches platforms on BF but doesn't go as high as Hard TSRK so it is less punishable. Otherwise, medium specials are harder to use than they are worth.

Thank you guys. I used to only throw out the true inputs, but i realized that that isn't always the best.

Not a single person here has answered OP's question, you guys are talking about a different subject! He asked if it's hadouken's true input is worth it or not.

I guess it depends on your consistency with the inputs, because there's obviously no disadvantage in using the true inputs all the time. With that said, I think many of the top players use normal neutral b hadouken quite often, probably because the risk of missing the input isn't worth it.

So if I can get the trrue input everytime, shoud i go for that instead? I noticed Trela also going for more half circle neutral b than quarter circle neutral b.

In my opinion, there is no reason to use normal hado over shaku. Shaku can be comboed off of much better than hado in most situations. The only time hado should be used is jab resets and maybe some other niche uses.
