| | pick=
| |
| * '''Blessed Buttons:''' M.Ryu's button layout lets him use his most common moves without holding the Assist button. This isn't something to take for granted - just ask M.Luke or M.Ken.
| |
| * '''Awesome Anti-Air:''' Having access to Shoryuken without a motion input drastically reduces M.Ryu's mental stack. He can also immediately perform OD Shoryuken or Lv3 while blocking with no buffer frames.
| |
| * '''Radical Reactions:''' M.Ryu's assisted combos and supers lend themselves well to the more reactive Modern playstyle and can check reaction tests like Drive Rush and burnout DI.
| |
| | avoid=
| |
| * '''Damage Dilemma:''' M.Ryu loses two of his best buttons for combo damage, {{clr|9|5HK}} and {{clr|9|4HP}}. This means he either has to charge Denjin to extend his combos or win significantly more interactions in neutral than his opponent.
| |
| * '''Sideswitch Struggle:''' Aside from a back throw, M.Ryu has zero meterless sideswitch options. His only option is to route into OD Donkey Kick.
| |
| * '''Neglected Niche:''' Ryu is the least popular character to play with Modern controls and is essentially absent in the competitive scene, even on Classic. Resources for playing M.Ryu competitively or even casually are slim to none.

| | A[{{clr|7|L}} ~ {{clr|7|L}}] || Anywhere || 1200 || Assisted || Your only option for Donkey Kick off a light without a punish. Great for checking Drive Rush.<br>Don't spam it otherwise - light Donkey Kick is -11 OB and you won't be anywhere near safe.

Unlike Classic, Modern Ryu cannot confirm this string into Donkey Kick.<br>Modern Ryu can focus entirely on confirming distance to the opponent and cancel into Shoryuken early without buffering.

| |
| | {{clr|8|2M}} > {{clr|2|4S}}/{{clr|2|2S}} || Anywhere || 1076/1204 || {{clr|10|V. Easy}} || Though {{clr|8|2M}} combos to almost all of your specials on normal hit, focus mainly on these two.<br>Donkey Kick is safer and leaves you open to pop a Denjin charge. Tatsu has great corner carry.

Easy}} || Heavy Shoryuken is your highest damage meterless A[{{clr|9|H}}] combo. Tatsu gives you corner carry and oki.<br>You can start buffering the {{clr|9|623H}} motion immediately by holding forward for easy full damage.

| |
| |-
| |
| | A[{{clr|9|H}} ~ {{clr|8|H}}, {{clr|7|L}} ~ {{clr|7|L}}] || Anywhere || 2090 || {{clr|7|Easy}} || Thanks to Modern controls, you only have to do one link for this combo (and it still does full damage!).<br>Light Donkey Kick gives you space to pop Denjin.
| |
| |-
| |
| | A[{{clr|9|H}} ~ {{clr|8|H}}, {{clr|7|L}}] > {{clr|2|4S}} || Anywhere || 1922 || {{clr|7|Easy}} || This Medium Tatsu ender does more damage compared to A[{{clr|9|H}} ~ {{clr|8|H}}] > {{clr|2|4S}}.<br>However, the oki is worse midscreen as you can only dash forward or jab if your opponent back rises.
