Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha/Evil Ryu

Introduction

"It's good to be bad."

Originally a non-canon secret character in export versions of Street Fighter Alpha 2, Evil Ryu returns as yet another one-off in EXA.

Gameplan

Functionally, ERyu is identical to his vanilla self. Normals, specials, and layer 1 strategies are interchangeable between the two-- Or any shoto in EXA for that matter.

A few key differences, however, actually make ERyu the stronger character: A meterless, risk free install you can activate on character select.

ERyu has:

• Four teleports of varying utility. K Teleport gives him an off axis mixup and often breaks the corner when done meaty.
• Tick Demon from a blocked hopkick or Tatsu. Any air to air sets him up for a Demon 50/50.
• Safe metered reversals. DHC from Gou Shoryu to Shinkuhado resets ERyu to neutral on block.
• Better run away potential thanks to LP Fireball instant back teleport.
• Easier, more consistent 3-Bar combos.
