Introduction

It's Ryu as you remember him from such classics as Street Fighter, Shadowverse, Monster Hunter, Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, and Street Fighter: The Movie The Game.

Ryu is a good all-around character who pairs well with almost anyone and takes excellent advantage of the game's mechanics. He has strong solo damage, and his DP means he never has to take any pressure when knocked down due to baroque. One of the only times he was gifted with an air dash, he also has a strong rushdown game in TvC, and can be very hard to contest.

Gameplay

Strengths	Weaknesses
j.C is slightly oppressive Insane combo game, probably the strongest of any VS. Solid tools for giants Assist works perfectly for anyone Strong tick throw Wakeup DP is viable and safe	Kind of hard to open people up at times A lot of scrambling Decent pokes but can't really pressure

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
	15	2	18	-	2480	-	Too slow to be much good outside of combos, but excess hit stun on juggle makes advanced loops possible.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes

Assist (Hadouken)	42	-	-	-	1760	Projectile no Autocorrect	Fireball assist is helpful to many characters, long hitstun makes it easy to extend combos. Good for controlling ground space.

Special Moves

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Hadouken	17/21/24	-	47/46/47	-	2400/2800/3200	Projectile	Strength determines speed of the fireball. Baroque canceling can be used to turn the fireball into a shield for approach.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Air Hadouken j.	16/19/22	-	-	-	2400/2800/3200	Projectile	Same as the ground version, but used in the air.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Shoryuken	6/6/6	-	-	-	2400/4501/6036	Invuln on f1-5/f1-9/f1-12	Good ole Shoryu. It does the usual, anti air, invincible on startup, pushes people off of you. It's very good, but thanks to the magic of BAROQUE this is one of the few games where you can straight up Wakeup DP and be safe. Not only that, but when doing wakeup DP and BAROQUE you can turn this into a 50/50 by delaying when you activate BAROQUE to follow up with 2A or j.A. Ain't this game wacky? That being said, it doesn't have much use in combos unless it's an ender to a route that's basically exhausted all hitstun decay.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Tatsumaki	15/18/20	-	-	-	2870/4474/6183	-	Mostly used for combos, it doesn't have much other utility. The hitbox is a little wacky but the startup doesn't help it much. The air version is much much better. After Doing it, Ryu drops like a rock do you can dive bomb ambiguous j.C. Attempting to push block will make Ryu safe on block and hit the ground quickly, and if he hits a grounded opponent they don't get knocked back so he gets a free combo. Air Tatsu is busted in this game

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Joudan Sokutogeri	14/17/20	-	-	-	2320/2480/2640	-	Donkey kick is back and is the most combo friendly ever. Heavy version only combos from C Normals but allows you to extend combos anywhere. The light version combos off any normal, but pushes full screen, you have to BBQ to follow it up or waste meter to extend it

Super Moves

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Shinkuu Hadouken	3+5 / (Air) 3+ 7	-	-	-	8887	-	Marvel style Shinkuu Hadouken. It's not fast so throwing it out raw is usually bad as everyone can super jump out of the way. Good for Crossover combinations. It does have one drawback in which the hits are fixed, so if someone is getting hit by Shinkuu and calls out a partner or they are able to counter with a projectile (like zombie), it'll become unsafe on hit. * Usable in air

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku	17+12	-	-	-	12535	-	Does more damage than Shinkuu Hadouken, but only if the enemy is grounded, otherwise half the hits will whiff and do basically no damage. It is invincible on startup, good for catching newer players not looking but you can baroque right out of it. It's uses are...very limited

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Shin Shoryuken	3+3	-	-	-	16560	-	It's shin sho, Invulnerable on startup so you can kinda yolo through blockstrings and get a damaging punish.If you aren't using it point blank it turns into a multihitting shoryu, which still kinda hurts, but not as much as the animation. In the corner Use medium tatsu into 2A for a follow-up. Midscreen you can A Hadouken and then dash for a follow up
