How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Nothing that stands out when on compared to the better characters in the game.No super to satisfy all of Ryu's needs.

SA1 allows for classic versitile playstyle, while SA3 allows for a very offensive, setups based playstyle.

Very high damage using a single EX move, pretty good stun damage.

Great hit-confirm options with tatsus, srks and donkeykicks.

Great normals all around for poking, anti airing, pressure and general utility.

The fastest Denjin Hadouken fireball may come out in 75 frames if perfect 360 motions was performed

If it does not, the move turns into a low-damage, multi-hit ShoryukenĪn unblockable attack (must be parried), Ryu will charge up an electric fireball for max 3 seconds if the punch button was held. If the first hit connects, the move does a huge amount of damage and sends your opponent flying into the air. Ryu, however, has his own ways to compensate for his weaknesses, with very high damage utilizing EX move, somewhat higher stun damage, additionally useful and powerful super in sa3 (which sacrifices access for ex moves) and a much better tatsu for confirms.Īn upgraded version of the Hadouken that can hit up to 5 timesĪn upgraded version of the Shoryuken. Ryu also has worse mobility, with slower walk speeds, a shorter backdash and lack of a good air ex tatsu. Ryu also doesn't have as good of a meterless damage as ken, due to his absence of double dp links. The things that makes him worse than ken are rather few, but significant - ryu doesn't have any super with the same amalgamation of utility, range and source abundancy as ken's sa3, with his best super for confirms not being as fast and having character-dependent inconsistency in combos. He's still your all around, versatile character, with very effective pokes, anti airs, and pressure normals. Ryu, the long time rival and friend of ken and the icon of the whole franchise.
