| |
| * '''Blessed Buttons:''' M.Ryu's highly intuitive 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 that would leave him vulnerable.
| |
| * '''Radical Reactions:''' M.Ryu's assisted combos and supers lend themselves well to the more reactive Modern playstyle, whether that's the good old Hadoken/Shoryuken game or checking reaction tests like Drive Rush and burnout DI.
| |
| * '''Gentle Gestures:''' Many of M.Ryu's combos naturally route into motion specials or give extra time to buffer a motion due to Assist moves ignoring directions. An indispensable boon for those learning motion inputs.
| |
| | avoid=
| |
| * '''Modern Motions:''' M.Ryu is heavily dependent on varying Hadoken strength to keep the opponent guessing and Hashogeki to extend combos, both of which require motion inputs. M.Ryu's best combo damage move, H Shoryuken, is harshly scaled if executed with a shortcut input. Learning motion inputs is essential for M.Ryu to be effective at higher-level play.
| |
| * '''Damage Dilemma:''' M.Ryu loses most of his best buttons for combo damage: {{clr|9|5HK}}, {{clr|9|4HP}}, and {{clr|9|236HK}}. This means he either has to rely on Denjin Hashogeki to extend his combos or win significantly more interactions in neutral than his opponent.
| |
| * '''Sideswitch Struggle:''' M.Ryu lacks H Tatsu, so he has no way to end combos with a meterless sideswitch.
| |
| * '''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 are slim to none.

Cancel into Lv3 for 2000 more.<br>Also works if you can somehow land {{clr|9|6H}} raw in the corner.<br>One of Modern Ryu's best combos that doesn't require Denjin, though it's highly situational.
