That Ryu player definitely put in work. You can always tell when a Ryu is good in Third Strike because of how fast they can get the Denjin charge out. He was even using meaty fireballs to set it up. That guy’s got some skills.
Get a knockdown then set up a meaty fireball to denjin super. It doesn't seem that difficult to execute. How could smug get out of that situation or is it an unblockable?
Honestly I won't laugh at Smug for this. This isn't like the Megaman-X8 nightmares he's lived through. Ryu is a balanced character compared to the true top tiers of SF III, but Denjin with its stun setups is ABSOLUTELY the best super of Ryu. So props to this guy picking him up 🎉
@@DPL58 (Bare in mind I do not main Ryu, don't take what I say as gospel) The main thing you want is a knockdown, ideally in the corner. Any can work: a throw, sweep, Tatsu, the best case scenario is a DP cancelled into Denjin but if you can't actually visually confirm a DP that's dangerous. After the knockdown, you either go straight into Denjin if you have a lot of time to charge, or do a meaty fireball cancelled into Denjin if you don't. You can either release Denjin early (as soon as the opponent gets up) or slightly delay it in order to get them to whiff a parry and get them on the parry cooldown, making your Denjin unavoidable. Mix the timings up to force them to guess.
To guess or narrow the timings with the denjin. Think about the baseball theory. Are the throwing a fast ball , floater or curver ball. Each one has their own solution dependant on character
Parrying can be hard due to the different scenarios and timings. If he's in your face or pretty close up charging just hit him with the fastest thing you can. Jab, grab, uppercut, super. When I get grabbed my denjin usually passes right through people. Trade uppercut or super can give you time to mash out of dizzy. Sometimes I outright lose denjin from being hit.
Funny thing is even if you came back and won the set, I think you would've still lost points 'cause of how the ELO system works on there. Like if you're A rank and you win 5-4 against someone a lot lower like a C rank, I believe you lose points anyway for taking it to the final game like that. S rank is pretty hard to keep 'cause of that. If you don't sweep B ranks or you start losing to A ranks, you'll lose your S really fast. It also decays faster than other ranks do. It's why most games only have a handful of dudes with it.
C rank shotos are a force to be feared indeed. I don't know if he was on a troll account, seems to me like he just got lucky a lot of the time. He wasn't really good at defending, did unsafe moves on block a lot of the time too...it's just that Ryu deals so much damage, man. And Denjin exploits any knockdowns on top of being mad easy to do.
I think you were victim of the rank decay fightcade has: basically you didn't played much and any significant losses subtracts points from your rank, therefore dropping to B. Don't worry about that, rank isn't everything.
You don’t always have to parry dinjin smug you can light punch him out of it when your close also the longer he charges it the more hits and stun it does so even if you trade with him it won’t be as much stun
Yo I like the Michael Jackson Thriller laugh right at the end. LOL 😂😂 That's probably what your opponent did after he finished the game and won he laughed like Michael Jackson right at the end and his eyes turned demonic red. LOL 😐😂😂🤷♂️🚶♂️🚪💢 LOL SAVAGE that was just SAVAGE (GG & GOOD VIDEO). 👏👏💯😂
I only play Tekken, but I swear I wanna play this Third Strike game. Looks amazing. Beautiful game. Looks like intense action. Dudley is looking like my first character.
9:22 The Match up for Dud is so , so honestly against Ryu, but if he uses denjin ? That changes everything because dud is so susceptible to shoto low fk..into knock down in the corner.. 11:08 GGs 11:30 😂😂 Oh yeah you officially a 3s player now..
If he's charging denjin in your face just hit him out of it. If he releases fast to beat that you eat 50% stun and almost no damage but will be plus a million.
@smug watch justin wong vs best stunning ryu.......u can try to parry it or if u do get stunned u can mash and wake up if ryu takes too long. Justin mashed out of stun quick a few times. He got that mvc2 mash out skillz😂
No light Machine gun blow befor the short swing blow to super, the hell!?!? the only time I skip that is on necro & remy cuz its harder. Smug has exectution common, do IT!!!!
I always respected Smug, he posts when he washes people and when he gets washes. lots to learn either way. and hella entertaining.
He may have lost that first round. But that rose and low parry was clearly not accidental. I will now continue watching the video.
Idk those high shoryukens looked pretty amateur...
@@rubenel7993So you’re saying a Pro like Smug lost to an amateur or someone with amateur skill?
This is what caught my attention, then the hadoken to denjin was mad clean too. Guy definitely knows a thing or two at least.
That Ryu player definitely put in work. You can always tell when a Ryu is good in Third Strike because of how fast they can get the Denjin charge out. He was even using meaty fireballs to set it up. That guy’s got some skills.
That ryu was too good.
Edit: perhaps it was an alt, or a B player who dropped to C. Either way, he put the work on smug.
Denjin
He's ok
Get a knockdown then set up a meaty fireball to denjin super. It doesn't seem that difficult to execute. How could smug get out of that situation or is it an unblockable?
@@bigkabuto9748parry check
Dude had Smug kind of quiet lol
Smug managed to land so many raw supers, pretty amazing timing. Didn’t come out on top this time but that’s some top notch Dudley right there!
"oh i'm an A rank, nice !"
famous last words
9:18 NAH, THAT EDITOR IS WILD 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Nice set! Denjin Ryu can turn a match in a second. Also, that is at least a B player skillwise. He had solid fundamentals and good denjin setups.
My guess is that would be b but lost a lot in his elo pts grind
Yeah, seems he has lost a lot of elo pts because being that solid.
Honestly I won't laugh at Smug for this. This isn't like the Megaman-X8 nightmares he's lived through. Ryu is a balanced character compared to the true top tiers of SF III, but Denjin with its stun setups is ABSOLUTELY the best super of Ryu. So props to this guy picking him up 🎉
How do you set up denjin? I don't use ryu much but the knowledge would be appreciated.

@_Crowuh ah thanks. I don't main ryu (chun player here) but knowing the set up could help me against ryus who pick sa3
I swear, all of the Ryu players I've fought on Fightcade lately fight like their family being held hostage
Takes a certain someone to demote someone like SMUG mang!!
That first round P pissed him off
5:36 the "Okay." throat clear. 😂
To guess or narrow the timings with the denjin. Think about the baseball theory. Are the throwing a fast ball , floater or curver ball. Each one has their own solution dependant on character
Smug, thank you so much for the videos and the content. Been watching you since sf4 era. Hope you have an amazing year my man.
11:24 blocking someone is crazy.
I saying the same thing
I like that you post the Ls too Smug. There is no shame in losing!, but some don't have the courage to post it.
Great fights Smug.
Ryu is such an iconic character that it's 2025 and it still gets my attention to watch some high level play with it.
with him?? the english bro
@@TheTemptations-u2ycharacter = it
yeah, english
The greatest of ease.
Those final words were OD

GGs that Ryu was cookn
That Ryu was on his A-game. Good set of matches.
Even in the old SF5 videos, when I came Smug vs Ryu, it was always spectacular (remember that Ryu with the pink Mega Man skin)
That Ryu wasn't playing at all 😂
Damn I remember when smug was still green at 3s a couple years ago, and now he's a parry monster.
That's an example of a keep away Dudley gambling with wake-up supers😂😂😂 Ryu was just pressing buttons into that auto-piloting Smug guy smh
Have no idea how this came up in my algo but this guy is very cool
Wishing you the best 2025 and I will support! Lots of memories with this game

These are amazing matches you did very good keep it up
That was definitely Daigo troll account😂😂😂
Daigo played Ken in this game😅
@Leebyno to think that means Daigo can't play other characters, especially Ryu is extremely I.Q
Nonetheless, I see you with the progress, Smug! You're getting really good at Third Strike, love watching your Dudley
Can't win them all, but it's good to see you still post this. Those were great matches regardless.
Nah the C ranks who are about to hit B are built different. I can see that the ryu is about to be B rank based off his play.
More like he is a B rank player on a smurf account, but okay
@Catsalotalot if he's a B rank, so is Smug my man's.
Wild stuff and a great video 😆👍
Charge super is so op. I could tell smug was looking for that parry. Might be time for the lab. Great gameplay
Love the channel brother favorite gamer to watch
That C Rank Ryu is crazy, while C Ranks in my country plays like a toddler
how do I get the scanlines in sf3 fightcade?
2:50 what is going on with this aspect ratio change? It's very disorientating.
I think you were victim of the rank decay fightcade has: basically you didn't played much and any significant losses subtracts points from your rank, therefore dropping to B.
Don't worry about that, rank isn't everything.
Why is this nice gentleman called SMUG always uploading funny videos where his ass gets whooped big time? 😂😅
2 HIGHLY Ranked Players in Battle, Showcasing 2 awesome Styles! 😇
Dudley gets on the inside and turns into a frigging blender
You don’t always have to parry dinjin smug you can light punch him out of it when your close also the longer he charges it the more hits and stun it does so even if you trade with him it won’t be as much stun
I think Smug already fought this user last year, he's done it again. 😂
Yo I like the Michael Jackson Thriller laugh right at the end. LOL 😂😂
That's probably what your opponent did after he finished the game and won he laughed like Michael Jackson right at the end and his eyes turned demonic red. LOL 😐😂😂🤷♂️🚶♂️🚪💢
LOL SAVAGE that was just SAVAGE (GG & GOOD VIDEO). 👏👏💯😂
I only play Tekken, but I swear I wanna play this Third Strike game. Looks amazing. Beautiful game. Looks like intense action. Dudley is looking like my first character.
the guy is C rank but has near 500 hours on fightcade 1 and plays a bunch of unranked with top players, what a dude
my bad lol Your face at the end - that loop that ryu did over n over
Ryu is on fire. 🤭
If Ryu parried that corkscrew blow i would've died.
Solid matches
9:22 The Match up for Dud is so , so honestly against Ryu, but if he uses denjin ? That changes everything because dud is so susceptible to shoto low fk..into knock down in the corner..
11:08 GGs
11:30 😂😂 Oh yeah you officially a 3s player now..
I see smug demoted, I press like, I'm a simple man.
Very good set and you'll get them next time Champ
You can tell Ryu is slowly getting into your head
couldn't even parry the fireballs lol
Hope you know that if he charges Denjin near enough to you, you can throw him - even if he releases it it'll pass straight through you.
Hey. I would like to know where does he plays 3rd Strike? I mean, the multiplayer and Rankeds?
fightcade
Whenever I get demoted to C there’s always in game chat saying “C rank my ass” but I honestly have no alt accounts 😆
Nah some people let the first match go to gauge opponents playstyle. Whether turtles, aggressor, rager, button masher, counter player
Is that you Heavy-D?
It's ok Smug. It Ain't so Bad... you'll get em next time.
U are insane❤
Dude is a low medium kick machine gun. Jesus Christ
Love you Dr.Smug
Figured I might as well start this campaign now: DUDLEY FOR CVS3!
cool air parry Smug
If he's charging denjin in your face just hit him out of it. If he releases fast to beat that you eat 50% stun and almost no damage but will be plus a million.
Did we all collectively sit up after that rose/low parry?
Surprise ryu wasnt using s.rh, also im pretty sure you can link super with Dudley after f+mk and s.mk
@smug watch justin wong vs best stunning ryu.......u can try to parry it or if u do get stunned u can mash and wake up if ryu takes too long. Justin mashed out of stun quick a few times. He got that mvc2 mash out skillz😂
ruthless this ryu
This is what we want to see!!
How much u want for you to play Remy???
Smug you have changed in your streaming style you where more talkable before and having more fun with stream
it only looks great cause its an even match up (maybe) denjin ryu against urien and some other top tiers is hurtful to watch lol....
Damn cuzzzo
So sad. (Walks off while Mike Lowery gets his work in)
so many paries are thrown its unfathomable
No light Machine gun blow befor the short swing blow to super, the hell!?!?
the only time I skip that is on necro & remy cuz its harder.
Smug has exectution common, do IT!!!!
That version of ryu is the only viable ryu there is, unlike the one we got in sf6
you mean sa3? bc this is worst pre sf5 ryu ever
He handed bro his controller.
It's okay 👍 their are nasty ryus on that game smug
Why would you want to block him? Adjust and Adapt for the run back
now if you use sa2 Bro, you could’ve avoided everyone
That Denjin hadoken is so broken…
ha!broken
that's the path of the dragon
This Ryu player is a smurf account 100% 😂 . Being C rank playing like that is wild
Not necessarily. They may have just got Fightcade and just going through the ranks
Of the interesting specimen variety.
B and A ranks create new accounts to mess with people on 3rd strike all the time. He was faking it in the first fight lol
He's an S rank player. One of the best denjin ryus.
fightcade ranks are so weird, this C rank is waaaaay better than me and I'm also C
Get him RYU
Dam i did laff 😂😂😂
MAN you got wiggity washed! That Ryu is a monster!😮
Probably you
Smug is a fight cade warrior bt I don't see him wining a tournament
He placed pretty high at Evo. He's more than capable of winning a tournament
3rd baby......the best figthing game!!
