Street Fighter IV Remix/Ryu

Ryu

Story

Ryu is the main character of the Street Fighter series, as well as THE fighting game character. He is a traveling martial artist who strives to test himself against strong opponents. Ryu is a practitioner of the Ansatsuken fighting style, alongside his best friend and rival Ken Masters. Strong and silent, Ryu's greatest pleasure in life is combat. He takes his training very seriously, even the basics. Occasionally, an evil power known as the Satsui no Hado threatens to overcome him, manipulating his desire for improvement into a desire for victory at any cost. Regardless, Ryu continues to train himself and travel the world, so that he may become the greatest version of himself that he can be.

Gameplay

Often you'll hear certain types of characters referred to as "shotos". These tend to be the simple, fundamental, and easy characters that can excel at any level. Ryu is the original shoto, and likely the purest one you can ever play. His control of neutral is stellar, with multiple great pokes, two fireballs, and a powerful anti-air. His main super, Shinkuu Hadouken, is a powerful utility super that allows him to punish fireballs or end combos with great damage. He can alter his air momentum with his Air Tatsu specials to keep his approach a bit ambiguous. His defense with his invincible Shoryuken is powerful, since he can deny pressure that isn't gapless. Even his rushdown is solid, though it is likely his weakest point. He has an overhead, a crossup, good hop normals, a solid low confirm, and of course two grabs.

While Ryu doesn't truly have many weaknesses, his main weakness is that his strengths aren't excelling in their categories. He does everything well, but nothing perfectly, and requires you to make intelligent decisions and make solid gameplans. Ryu rewards consistency, and without it his strengths will falter. He does still have weaknesses, mainly that his preferred ender for knockdowns and damage requires a standing opponent meaning his knockdowns are a bit harder to find. Otherwise, Ryu is a simple and solid character that rewards you for being a good player.

Ryu is the original shoto, and a great all-rounder who struggles to excel in any specific area. Ryu's best Grooves are C-Groove and N-Groove.
Pros	Cons
Shoto: Very versatile toolkit allows him to easily work in most situations Neutral Focused: Simple "footsies" based gameplan makes him easy and rewarding to learn Easy: Generally very easy, with very few truly difficult things to learn Versatile Super: A useful and reliable super with Shinkuu Hadouken Groove Friendly: Useful to some extent in every Groove Baseline Tools: Solid damage output, simple zoning and neutral, and solid defense, Ryu has everything you would want on a basic level	Jack-of-all-Trades: While he does do well in most categories, he isn't Sagat. He doesn't entirely excel in any category besides neutral Mixup: His mixup potential is lackluster, he does have access to a simple mixup with his standing overhead and his normal throw but they lead to very little reward Situational Enders: His preferred meterless combo ender whiffs on crouchers, so he tends to want to end in a super which he doesn't always have
