Marvel vs Capcom/Ryu

Introduction

Pros	Cons
Relatively good normals Nice Hyper Combos for zoning and rushdown Easy to play Can change mode at any moment Huge amount of tools to work with Invincible DP He's still training	Same normals are also very stubby Very reliant on meter compared to any other game Low meterless damage, so you need to spend it for damage... ...And yet changing modes costs meter Few long ranged tools, aside from Akuma Mode Being in one mode will shut Ryu out from tools in the other two modes His best combos require practice
