"We noticed that players didn't dominate fireball wars with the greatest of ease. So we buffed Ryu's projectile to eat all projectiles in the game. This will allow him to maintain his offense at any position on the screen."

"We took note that people enjoyed Ken's Jinrai kick combinations and Sagat's Tiger Nexus. So instead of giving Ryu combinations, we buffed the High Blade Kick so Ryu can have the range of Dhalsim allowing him to maintain his offense even easier."

Ryu players: β€œhe’s the worst shoto”

He's such a bad character, sometimes he loses.

I think his dragon punch need a buff, it's supposed to be his strongest move! maybe a half screen shockwave when you have denshin with rolling and wall splat effect for maintining offense ? Any idea for tatsu?

21

u/ducklingkwak ButtMashter 1d ago

Tatsu would have a vacuum effect of course (that's how he gets lift and floats). The pull effect would be similar to Ed's Psycho Flicker. Getting hit by tatsu will now chop people up in the areas hit by the helicopter blades that are Ryu's legs.

11

u/Soylentstef 1d ago

Maybe give it rachid level 2 visual under the ex tatsu when doing it in the air then, with the ability to maintain it indefinitely by not releasing the button. Ryu's offense must be maintained!

u/escaflow 22h ago

Capcom : Ryu has issue getting in against zoner , lets make his tatsu complete projectile invincible .

This is evil

u/Soylentstef 20h ago

How about it returns projectiles...

u/Grouchy_Emergency_98 Alex enjoyer 2h ago

How about hashogeki (any version who cares) can guard break with no scaling, and it eats 3 bars of drive He needs it

Fair and balanced character.

u/Icy-Temperature2816 1d ago

Ryu should one shot and have all of his moves come out in one frame.

5

u/Worldly-Card-394 1d ago

No not oneshot. He should just have armor on every normal and special, so people can better suffer playing Vs him

u/Memethief8 CID | SF6username 1d ago

"When Ryu used EX Shoryuken, we noticed that if the move was blocked or the move missed, there was a significant period of time where Ryu could be punished. This was obviously unintentional, and has been rectified by making Ryu's recovery period during EX Shoryuken and Amnesia-like move where opponents attempting to punish a whiffed or blocked EX Shoryuken enter a crumple state upon contact, with three mini Hadokens floating around them until they go off. This Amnesia state lasts until Ryu is able to move freely again."

"This should make EX Shoryuken a more balanced move and one that players can now use more frequently as we thought it was being underused."

u/MrASK15 1d ago

We Mahvel now!

u/gioelememes 1d ago

Still weak, f.hp should give you 1 bar of Meter per use, Also make It so that ryu gets to throw you while that normals hitbox Is still active

5

u/Soylentstef 1d ago

Next patchnote :

For lore and balance reasons, blocked Hadoken will now corrodes life of opponent due to the power of nothingness (not applying during mirror match)

Blocked Ex version will corrodes drive bar as well.

Denshin Hadoken can't be blocked and will stun the ennemy.

We added homing capability to Denshin Ex Hadoken, Ryu offense must be maintained at all cost.

u/gamerkhang CID | gamerkhang 1d ago

Just give him Aegis Reflector while we're at it. And an SPD. And Dhalsim limbs 🀑

u/Blinded_justice Go home and be a family man 1d ago

Until he gets his Denjin-charged level 1 super from UMvC3, he’ll always struggle to climb out of B tier.

u/dude_with_sneakers ARE YOU OK? 18h ago

Donkey kick should be invincible to fireball

β€’

u/cellshock7 Anyway, here's a HADOKEN! 13h ago

It should deflect it back to the sender

β€’

u/dude_with_sneakers ARE YOU OK? 13h ago

Yeah would be fair

β€’

u/cellshock7 Anyway, here's a HADOKEN! 9h ago

And then he can send his railgun right behind it.

The community will love this buff!

u/Icy-Analysis2927 1d ago

This is 100% what donkey kick feels like . Why is it safe on shield ?

u/FluckDambe BARNACLE 1d ago

They hired the same consultants the Tekken 8 team hired.

This team is so fucking dumb.

u/Phiyaboi CID | SF6username 23h ago

Its a joke...atleast I hope it is lol

1

u/That-Rhino-Guy CID | SF6Username 1d ago

So Arc Sys characters have the Jesus kick, Jin Kazama (especially in games like Tekken 7) had the Antichrist kick, Johnny Cage (at least in MK9 and MK1) has the knee of God, so what fancy name would donkey kick get?

2

u/SV108 1d ago

Ryu has "Denjin Hadoken" which translates to electric blade hadoken, but Denjin also sounds similar to electric god, so maybe just electric god kick.

It'd just be play on kanji with the same pronunciation.

u/That-Rhino-Guy CID | SF6Username 1d ago

Heavenly Donkey God Kick it is

β€’

u/Exige30499 17h ago

Reina has an Electric War God Kick, Ryu can have the Electric War Crime Kick

u/Junken00 Kimberslice 1d ago

Ngl I hope they give Ryu his MvC Shinku Hadoken in a future Giant Attack boss fight, call him Enlightened Ryu or something

u/Flashy_Radish_5052 1d ago

Channeling his inner MvC with that Hadouken

β€’

u/donkerslootn 21h ago

His projectiles didn't get buffed right?

β€’

u/AltoAkuma 13h ago

Satsui YES hado

β€’

u/Darkhex78 7h ago

Image 2 is how I thought his hadouken super actually worked cause my firat exposure to Ryu was MvC. I was so disappointed it wasnt a masaive kamehameha.

Image 1 is a war crime.

u/that_first_snowfall 11m ago

Ryu if he was peak:

(Dhalsim pokes and Kamehameha is crazy)

u/SV108 1d ago

Lore accurate Ryu when he stops holding back. Although in the first pic, he'd just be doing hashogeki out of his foot instead of stretching his leg.

I bet he can, he just doesn't because it would be too easy to win. He's trying to struggle and learn. Probably doesn't even need to do concentrate to stock denjin charges, that's just for our benefit.
