[[image:MvC2ryu.png]]


Ryu, the original world warrior, enters the ring in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in search of new opponents to face. If you're here browsing this wiki, chances are he looks familiar. If he doesn't, that's okay too, because his simplicity makes him well suited to learning how to play the game. He's got a kit of normals that lack range, but make up for it by being quick and doing decent damage. His special moves are also quite good. First, Hadoken is a quick projectile which can be used on the ground or in the air. Shoryuken is the original dragon punch, a jumping uppercut that makes Ryu briefly invincible, at the cost of high ending lag.
Lastly, he has the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku, a spinning kick that moves him forward, extending combos and allowing him to dodge some attacks.  He can also do it in the air, in which case it'll knock down opponents it hits hard. These three moves are also what he has available as assists, so he can also be used to support another character with decent results. All of this being said, he does have weaknesses which prevent him from being much better than a lower-mid tier. He does good damage, but he also has to invest meter for the best results with that insane level 3. Ken and Akuma play pretty similarly to him, but they can do comparable damage for less meter with both of their Hurricane Kicks. He also lacks air mobility. He can stall his descent with his Hadokens, but he doesn't have an air dash or a double jump to deal with some of the ridiculous stuff the top tiers can do. Finally, while he does a lot of things decently, he also gets outclassed by some of the more powerful characters in this game. Overall, while he's nowhere near the top of the tier list, he's also easy enough to use that he can work on just about any team if you wish.

<!-- TODO: add second image for j.MP and all images for Shin Shoryuken -->
<!-- Also, upload an image that doesn't have that white background for his art -->
<!-- That should be relatively easy to fix, but I didn't have GIMP or anything else like Photoshop installed -->

{{Content Box|content='''Ryu''' is one of the OGs of the Street Fighter cast, and he's got some good to great moves at his disposal. While he's usable on almost any team due to his simplicity, he also is outclassed by many of the other characters in this game.
{{ProConTable
|pros=
* '''Great Beam super'''- Shinkuu Hadoken works on both ground and air. Hits both assist and point characters and is mashable as a bonus.
* '''Invincible AAA''' - Shoryuken is one of the few fully invincible anti-air
* '''Hadoken spam'''- big, fat hitbox. Ryu can fill the screen with them by putting multiple out with tiger knee fireballs
* '''Normal defense'''- not really a pro but Ken, Dan, and Akuma all have worse defense.
* '''Good wavedash'''- he's got very quick dashes which are easy to cancel with a crouch, so he can cover ground quickly
* '''Big damage lvl 3'''- Shin Shoryuken looks cool if you can get the full version
|cons=
* '''Hadoken is no beam''' - a single hit fireball is going to lose to most zoning options
* '''Damage is low on average''' - Ryu needs assists or meters to reliably get damage
* '''Low range on his normals-''' they're shoto normals, so they're pretty stubby.
* '''Mobility is subpar-''' he moves quickly on the ground, but he doesn't have any real aerial mobility options, which isn't a good thing in this game. He can stall in the air with any of his Hadokens, but that's really about it
* '''He's an ordinary guy''' - he's playable, sure, but the other shotos offer more.


Ryu is a video game character created by Capcom, and is one of the main characters in the Street Fighter series. Ryu is the archetypical fighting game protagonist, and he has provided the basis for many other fighting game characters.

The {{lp}} version of the move is slightly safer if the opponent is on the ground with you, but the {{hp}} version can catch an airborne opponent. <br>
Both versions are good for ending combos without spending meter.

Introduction

Ryu, the original world warrior, enters the ring in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in search of new opponents to face. If you're here browsing this wiki, chances are he looks familiar. If he doesn't, that's okay too, because his simplicity makes him well suited to learning how to play the game. He's got a kit of normals that lack range, but make up for it by being quick and doing decent damage. His special moves are also quite good. First, Hadoken is a quick projectile which can be used on the ground or in the air. Shoryuken is the original dragon punch, a jumping uppercut that makes Ryu briefly invincible, at the cost of high ending lag. Lastly, he has the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku, a spinning kick that moves him forward, extending combos and allowing him to dodge some attacks. He can also do it in the air, in which case it'll knock down opponents it hits hard. These three moves are also what he has available as assists, so he can also be used to support another character with decent results. All of this being said, he does have weaknesses which prevent him from being much better than a lower-mid tier. He does good damage, but he also has to invest meter for the best results with that insane level 3. Ken and Akuma play pretty similarly to him, but they can do comparable damage for less meter with both of their Hurricane Kicks. He also lacks air mobility. He can stall his descent with his Hadokens, but he doesn't have an air dash or a double jump to deal with some of the ridiculous stuff the top tiers can do. Finally, while he does a lot of things decently, he also gets outclassed by some of the more powerful characters in this game. Overall, while he's nowhere near the top of the tier list, he's also easy enough to use that he can work on just about any team if you wish.


Gameplay

Ryu is one of the OGs of the Street Fighter cast, and he's got some good to great moves at his disposal. While he's usable on almost any team due to his simplicity, he also is outclassed by many of the other characters in this game.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Great Beam super- Shinkuu Hadoken works on both ground and air. Hits both assist and point characters and is mashable as a bonus.
  • Invincible AAA - Shoryuken is one of the few fully invincible anti-air
  • Hadoken spam- big, fat hitbox. Ryu can fill the screen with them by putting multiple out with tiger knee fireballs
  • Normal defense- not really a pro but Ken, Dan, and Akuma all have worse defense.
  • Good wavedash- he's got very quick dashes which are easy to cancel with a crouch, so he can cover ground quickly
  • Big damage lvl 3- Shin Shoryuken looks cool if you can get the full version
  • Hadoken is no beam - a single hit fireball is going to lose to most zoning options
  • Damage is low on average - Ryu needs assists or meters to reliably get damage
  • Low range on his normals- they're shoto normals, so they're pretty stubby.
  • Mobility is subpar- he moves quickly on the ground, but he doesn't have any real aerial mobility options, which isn't a good thing in this game. He can stall in the air with any of his Hadokens, but that's really about it
  • He's an ordinary guy - he's playable, sure, but the other shotos offer more.

14 (ground) / 15 (air) - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Projectile Super - - -

Ryu's signature move. A projectile which can be done on the ground or in the air, with slightly different hitboxes in each case. It does slightly more damage if you hit with the air version.
The strength of punch used controls the speed of the projectile, but under normal circumstances, you can only have one active on the screen at a time.
This limitation is removed if you do this move out of a super jump, so you can do it with a Tiger Knee input (that is, Tk.png + P.png) to throw as many as you can input in the air.
The air version also slows down Ryu's fall, so you can stall a bit with it if you do it out of a super jump.


Shoryuken

20 (both versions) - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Ryu does a jumping uppercut. It's invincible at the start, meaning you can use it as a reversal.
The move leaves you open for a long time if you miss or it gets blocked, so be sure it'll hit before you use it.
Both the Lp.png and Hp.png versions of this move do the same damage, but differ in how high Ryu jumps when he does the move.
The Lp.png version of the move is slightly safer if the opponent is on the ground with you, but the Hp.png version can catch an airborne opponent.
Both versions are good for ending combos without spending meter.
