Street Fighter IV Remix/Ryu

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy

Introduction

Ryu has mastered the art of the hadou, but not the art of using a computer. His iMac is filled to the brim with viruses, so now he's out to find someone who can do PC support for free.

Ryu in usf4r is very much still the same ryu everyone knows but with a lot o new incredibly strong tools to help him keep up in this wilder game leading to one of the most versatile characters in all of remix

Strengths

Weaknesses

Jack of all trades ryu very well rounded characters with full chains projectiles amazing meter use and solid offensive tools
Zoning 3 different projectiles for zoning all of which cover different angles can create a gameplan that can shutdown some characters entirely
Meter ryu has great meterbuild 2 amazing supers solid ex moves and is full of chances to charge with plenty of ways to abuse it allowing him some of the most versatile and consistently good meter build and use in the game

inconsistent conversions ryus need to go into 2hp to get any serious damage off a grounded hit meterlessly can be quite limiting
mediocre offense ryus offensive options are generally subpar and while still usable he needs resources to get anything particularly notable by this games standards
honest despite all the crazy combos and metered options ryu is just ryu and it means he can struggle to keep up with a lot of the best characters especially without bar

EX	60/75/5 x2	Mid	SC	0	60	0	+80	-80
Shoots across the screen very quickly. Hits twice. Ryu's fireball on a basic level works similarly as in his other appearances, but the slower LP fireball, and faster HP and EX fireballs on top of the faster movement in Remix expands his threatening zoning game considerably.

EX	40/80/20 15/25/5 x7	Mid	SC	0	60	0	+80	-80
Hits up to 8 times going up. Ryu's classic Dragon Punch. They mostly work the same as always, but the ability to charge cancel allows them to instantly convert into big combos, and the EX version leads to great okizeme on top of juggle combos.

The first hit does the most damage, and can lead into ground combos. All versions can cancel into air supers/air charge cancel. It can also be used to alter your movement during pressure, or to avoid projectiles.

Ryu does the fireball animation but with a small explosion its sligtly minus (or for heavy plus) and works as a solid blockstring ender or for the heavy one a pressure reset with a hit of armor that also extends combos

Standard fireball super with a lot of blockstun unless its done in the air which when tked or cancelled from tatsu means it has very low recovery giving ryu a fast insanely plus on block and hit high damage move he can cancel into whenever for 2 bars

While generally worse then shinku hadouken metsus wall of fireballs and super high damage combos midscreen make up for it and make it a terrifying super to see him cancel into
