Super Street Fighter IV AE/Evil Ryu

Evil Ryu

In the first Street Fighter tournament, Ryu felt a sudden urge to win against Sagat at all costs. That urge was the Satsui no Hado. Under its influence, Ryu rose up suddenly and gave Sagat his scar via a cheap-shot Metsu Shoryuken. Ever since meeting Akuma, the Satsui no Hado's evil intent has gotten stronger over the years within Ryu. The critical point has finally been reached, and Ryu has given in to the evil Hado. Where his heart once was is now a gaping hole of evil energy and emptiness. Evil Ryu seeks only one thing - worthy opponents for a fight to the death.

In a nutshell

Evil Ryu's fighting style is a fusion of normal Ryu's and Akuma's. He has the footsies and simplicity of Ryu, with the stamina, speed and damage output of Akuma, in addition to some of their best fundamentals. What separates Evil Ryu from being a copy of both Ryu and Akuma is his new Axe Kick. While his game is not heavily reliant on it, it serves as an outstanding bridge between combos, allowing Evil Ryu to rack up very damage and stun in seconds. In terms of defense, however, he becomes very reliant on his Shoryuken, as his teleport is very slow in comparison to Akuma's, and some of his normals (especially his Crouching Medium Kick, Crouching Heavy Punch, and Crouching Heavy Kick) are not as fast as Ryu's. In addition, one must take the time to hone their execution with Evil Ryu, as some of his most damaging combos require precise timing. Once all is said and done, Evil Ryu becomes a solid character that doesn't sacrifice too much for the power to end rounds very quickly.

AE ver. 2012 Changes

Health

Adjusted from 850 to 900.

Stun

Adjusted from 850 to 900.

Airborne Tatsumaki Senpukyaku

Adjusted timing of trajectory break-point to be 3F behind the previous point when initiated with an angled forward jump. Enabled Airborne Tatsumaki Senpukyaku to be canceled out of a Senbukyaku at all strengths, and changed the characteristics from normal use. Set stun to 100 for light and medium versions when canceled into from a Senbukyaku.

Ryusokyaku

Increased hit stun by 1F for light version, giving the attacker a possible +1F advantage on a hit. Changed heavy version’s startup from 27F to 26F, damage from 140 to 130, and stun from 200 to 150. Also enabled follow-up against opponents that have been knocked back, as with the medium version. Inhibited quick-stand after a medium or heavy version hit against an airborne opponent. Changed EX version’s startup from 22F to 21F. Enabled further follow-up from a Senbukyaku→EX Airborne Tatsumaki Senpukyaku combo with the medium version when at the edge of the screen.

Far Standing Heavy Kick

Adjusted size and position of hitbox to match Ryu’s.

Crouching Heavy Kick

Changed damage from 90 to 100, and lengthened active hitbox period from 2F to 3F.

Raging Demon

Changed damage from 350 to 370.

Far Standing Medium Kick

Slightly expanded hitbox forward. Also slightly increased amount of forward motion during startup. Reduced recovery by 1F, taking the total frame count from 26F to 25F.

Target Combo

Made 2nd hit a knockdown.

Far Standing Heavy Punch

Made this move cause a knockdown on a counter-hit.

Metsu Hadoken

Time taken the charge the attack by holding down the button has been cut compared to before.This makes it easier to land repeated knee-crippling hits in a Focus Attack. Expanded hitbox downward in 1st active frame when executed as a charged attack at close range to an opponent.

Shoryuken

Extended invincibility of medium version by 1F, making first 5F totally invincible. Changed heavy version’s damage from 90 + 60 (150 total) to 100 + 60 (160 total).
