Introduction
Traveling the world to become a true warrior, Ryu continues his search for strong opponents and fierce battles.
Still your classic all around Shoto, he brings the classic trio of Hadoken, Tatsumaki, and Shoryuken to the table with Joudan Sokutou Geri (Donkey Kick) as a new special move. Ryu plays neutral well and, with a bit of meter, punishes mistakes with huge damage. Though all his supers are viable at the highest level of play, his SAIII turns Ryu into a set play bully that churns out stuns like nobody's business.
Super Arts
SAI (Shinkuu Hadoken)
An upgraded Hadoken, this super lets you play the stereotypical versatile and well rounded Ryu. It easily slots into many combos for added damage and a Hard Knock Down. Two long bars mean you'll have lots of meter for EX Donkey Kick and EX Hadoken.
SAII (Shin Shoryuken)
A devastating "True" Shoryuken. If the first hit connects, the move does a huge amount of damage and sends your opponent flying into the air. If it does not, the move turns into a low-damage, multi-hit Shoryuken. The one long bar makes spending EX a harder decision, but holy cow does it feel good to send your opponent to the moon (with a followup juggle). It's hard to comeback in a round where Ryu hits you with this. This Ryu looks to strike fear into opponents and turn openings small and large into game winning blows.
SAIII (Denjin Hadoken)
One of the strongest supers in the game, Denjin Hadoken is an unblockable and must be parried (though you still get a mixup on the opponent if they do). Ryu can charge up an electric fireball for a maximum of 3 seconds if the punch button was held. The fastest Denjin Hadoken fireball may come out in 75 frames assuming perfect motion inputs. The most unorthodox but generally agreed to be strongest super out of the three. Ryu turns into a setplay character with the ability to steal games like candy. An extremely deep super with complex mind games attached. However, Denjin Hadoken is held back by its extremely short bar that limits available EX Moves to ONE.

3S Frame Data Glossary | |
---|---|
Active |
How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by an asterisk (ex: 3*5). If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses (ex: 2(4)2) |
Attack |
Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked). |
Cancel options |
Available cancel options.
|
Damage |
Attack damage on hit in life points. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames. |
Hit/Block |
These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. D refers to knockdown on hit. "Cr. Hit" is an additional frame advantage value denoting if the advantage on hit changes when the defender is being hit while crouching. |
Kara Range |
Almost all normal attacks can be canceled into a special or a multi-button command within three frames of startup. During that time, some attacks will shift position forward or backward and affect the reach of the special or command accordingly. This is denoted in pixels of range. There are a handful of moves in the game that can be kara-canceled after this initial window and will be denoted as a late kara-cancel. |
Link |
A combo that is performed by inputting the second move after the first move has completely recovered (as opposed to cancelling the first move's animation). In 3S, the final frame of a move's hitstun allows a character to block a normal or special move, as well as some projectile supers. Therefore, an attack's frame advantage must be 2 frames greater than the followup move's startup in order to link. Ex: a +6 normal can link into a 4f normal/special, or a 5f super. |
Parry |
This field will show a value of A if the attack can be parried standing or crouching, H if it must be parried standing or L if it must be parried crouching. |
Recovery |
How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active. |
Startup |
How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. 3S uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4. |
Stun |
Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit. |
Throw range |
Range in pixels from the center of the character to the center of the opponent which allows a grab to connect. |
