Like the title says. This thread is to set up sparring sessions between Ryu mains. Unlike alot of other dittos, Ryu dittos are very much about skill. The better Ryu will come out on top and can completely dissect another Ryu if they are lacking in neutral, movement, execution, ect. This will be a place where we as a community can come together and focus on getting stronger. No judgements. No nonsense. Doesnt matter if you are the best Ryu ever or Day 1. Let's all get in the dojo together and help each other grow.

To start us off, here are some matches I recorded of @ RoninX1819 RoninX1819 and myself sparring the other night. Feel free to analyze these vids and critique us. We played for about an hour. I couldnt record alot due to the 3 minute time limit the in-game youtube feature has on matches. Just to avoid confusion, Kain X is his actual tag in-game.

I'd like to give this a try. After playing your ryu at the break i want to learn a bit more about fighting ryu and playing as him.

You had the right idea as ZSS. Stay focused. Dont disrespect Ryu's space. Dont do anything extremely punishable. ZSS is high risk/high reward with grabs so a missed grab = death. You experienced this yourself though.

Honestly, I need to give you major props for something:

This is really cool. Keep up the good work.

I'd be down. I don't own a wii u so I don't get to play smash 4 much, but I can easily go to a friend's place to play. It would be awesome to get some practice in and apply new things towards my Ryu.

I'm down for friendlies with anyone I'm trying to pick up any tech from anywhere to combine with what I have so who ever is up for just reply or message me. I also need more practice on tourney stages if anyone is up for that as well I had a lot of trouble in locals with Delphino and Battlefield tricks I was unaware of.

Recently picked up ryu and I can't stop playing him. I played him nonstop at launch. Then I started doing tournaments and kinda stopped playing him for no reason. Picked him up again like two days ago. I really want to train as hard as possible. I live in socal if anyone is in the area for lagless sparring etc. but nonetheless my NNID is JohnLpaul

I'm down to train anytime I have time. Usually mid day or really late at night.

Im down for any friendlies or if anyone want to straight up just do labbing pm me and we can talk on skype. After playing USFIV and applying some of that knowledge onto my Ryu gameplan I just feel so good using this this character. He is very fun to use and I'm thinking about making him my main.

I'm definitely down to getting some sparring in and learning Ryu with you all. I main Peach but am really considering Ryu as a sub, since I've been in search for one and he gels with me so that makes it all the better. Feel free to add me. NNID: NanhouDrops

Add me. If you are free Wednesday the lets play.

Nintendo ID: ForteEXE1986

I need to break the terrible habit of when I am in the air I will try Ryu's B-air and accidentally do his Hurricane Kick....this usually sends me to the abyss. Rawr....stupid thumb! It's really sad...sometimes I have the match clearly in my favor.

I'll add you when I get home, my NNID is my user name. I'm pretty much free everyday to play; free all day on weekends, free in the afternoon on weekdays.

I feel as though I have the basics of Ryu down, but I want to be better than basic and not get wrecked by stupid tricks.
