Character Overview
A fundamentals-based shoto built on stable zoning and frame control.
Ryu plays pure Street Fighter: footsies, spacing, and consistent reward through Drive Rush confirms and corner fireball control.
Key Strengths
- Consistency: Solid at all ranges.
- Zoning: Hadoken controls pace.
- Footsies: Reliable whiff punish tools.
Key Weaknesses
- Limited Mix-up: Few ambiguous options.
- Meter Dependence: Needs Drive Rush to extend damage.
- Predictable Neutral: Straightforward tools struggle to check erratic movement or unconventional approach angles.
Counter-Strategy
Deny his mid-range control with micro-walk guarding and delayed whiff punishes. Bait his fireball rhythm with feint Drive Rushes to take space. On knockdown, enforce layered okizeme. Remove his jump and parry options with tight meaties and throw threats.
