This is just a screenshot from SFV showing Ryu's range zones
I believe this applies fairly well to his range zones in Smash 4 too
Though it is important to note that his range zones will vary depending
on the opponent's character. Especially when fighting characters like Bayonetta or Corrin.
As Trela said, space it to where you are just outside of their fastest option or the option they want to use

While not all of it applies to Smash 4 I found a couple things worth noting.
Hope this helps people, spacing is critical to Ryu's footsies and his bait/punish game.
While I know most of you are aware of that, I still end up seeing Ryu mains just trying to run in all the time
using their big hitboxes and/or are simply not playing patient enough. I think that's some of the reasons why Ryu doesn't have as much representation as other characters despite being phenomenal.
