Would Ryu be considered a ground based fighter? I mean I get he has powerful aerials and everything, but is he a better fighter on the ground? (Just curious)

@ Dumbfire Dumbfire , are you a GW2 player by any chance?`That name...

Anyway, Link takeover, hide in the Barrels!
No need. The links have backed off. Mod took care of that. Its safe. Otherwise, i'd still be in pacifist mode.

Ryu boards are best boards
You'd be challenging the Link boards and some other board i can't think of with that statement. Not that i'm speaking on their behalf or anything.

Not that far from me actually. I'm gonna drive there and 1v1 him irl
He vs at work now, but I'm sure he won't mind when he has time. He needs an offline scene anyways since apparently there still isn't a quite active one atm.

I'll tell him, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up. In any case, can't you "test drive" a car all the way to Oshawa?

Damn, yeah, you most surely have. Well, there's always next month right?

Deal with it.

Ryu has decent air game, but he shines on ground game. Wished we could combo Uair twice like in SF4, but smash physics.

Nah, I registered here when I was about 11, it used to always be Doomfire. Here on SWF it was even "Volcanic Doomfire", after some Yu-gi-oh card, but people kept joking about "VD" so that was a no-go. Someone else always used to joke "shut up Dumbfire!" when I was being an idiot and I went with it. Now anytime people ask me offline I make up some extravagant tale about losing a bet of some kind and having to change my name due to it, although those are always entirely fabricated.

Oh man, I have a burning question for the Ryu boards. But firstly, has anyone here played the Street Fighter Flash game? Where you can battle against Sagat. During the final round, a certain song starts playing and I've been wanting to know what song that was ever since I was 8 years old, lol.
I would probably know if I heard it.

EDIT: Why are there so many Links you ask? They all want to learn how to 1-frame ____ for SFV.

Ok. Just thought cause that is what the trait "Dhuumfire" was called for being too broken at its initial release ... after which, sadly, they nerfed the trait and various other Necromancer skills/traits until they were worse off then before.

Nevermind, then.

Has anyone ever watched an anime called Full metal panic?

100 out of 10

Also Why not the Link boards and the Ryu boards join up to become a bigger stronger board.

Just like what the Robin and Zelda boards did.

Starbase, where no turtle has gone before.
Among the three fighters just realeased, in terms of playstyle mine favourite has got to be Ryu. He's one of the few characters whom just feels natural to me. I'm seriously thinking about maining him.

I'm glad they based Ryu on his SF2 look and not his Frankenstein-esque look from the new games. Also love the sound effects; brings back memories.

I've been writing ever since I got off work earlier today. Finally finished the guide. Going to post it.

Hope you don't all think it sucks! I tried to be informative and objective.

Oh, if anyone's interested. FA can KO air borne opponents at 160-170%, just tried on Marth.

You guys are up for an anime tonight


It's Street Fighter 2 V aka the only anime where we doubt Ken's sexuality, Guile is an insane badass and Ryu looks similar to :4littlemac: expect taller less tan

I'm not sure where the animosity towards the Links is coming from but whatevs.

In other news I'm pretty bad so far in an actual fight. I can do all the BnB in practice all day but I devolve in a match. Feels like UMvC3 all over again
