Imagine if patch 1.1.7 arrives and you play some Ryu. You input the commands for True Shoryuken but it just won't work. You try some other inputs and they don't work either. Thankfully, his strong/weak attacks that are based on holding the attack button still work.
So, in this scenario, they decided to nerf Ryu by removing all of his inputs for special moves. He didn't get any buffs at all to compensate. Right now, he is, at worst, high tier and at best top tier. Where would he be without his special inputs? Still high tier? Mid tier? Or would he fall down to low tier?
Discuss! This thread is mostly for fun and doesn't have all that much practical purpose, although it can be used by new Ryu players to estimate how efficient he is when you don't know how to use his commands properly, so it does have some practical use.
Edit: Changed 1.1.6 to 1.1.7. Point still stands, anyway.
