I really enjoyed playing Ryu because i can practice my patience and fundamental since Ryu doesn't have much tools to open up the opponent or to skip neutral. He also hit a like a truck which always pretty satisfied every time i hit with standing fierce combo into level 3. Not long ago i hit Master rank with him but now i play Kim while waiting for my boy Ed. Anyway, another good overview by Sajam 👍
I really appreciate you throwing in that Luke match for one of the examples. It's nice knowing even good players get annoyed by people with belligerent playstyles.
that luke is an example of someone who is really good at somethings and really bad at other things. He got a lot of perfect parry punishes and mixed between skip neutral offensive options pretty well. In the end he almost won
Ryu was the third character I ranked up to masters I really loved the gameplay, he has struggles and as a normal player I couldn't really learn his better combos, punishes or strategies, but I still managed to do a good job with him, I really liked him in this game
@@EAprima I'm ranking every character to masters, slowly but steadily Right now I'm ranking Aki up, then it will be Guile or maybe Blanka, but im taking a break due to a FPS rush i had recently
I really missed having a cool, cinematic Shin Shoryuken in SFV. I'm happy they gave us the coolest one in the series here, and on one of my favorite iterations of Ryu. Dude's wicked cool in SF6
He's so boring it wraps around to being cool. His big special move is him flexing every muscle fiber in his body to hit you with a really, really big punch. I love it.
Hey there everybody, this is Ryu, from streets. Did you know? My favorite things are: standing into heavy punch stale bread water without any ice the newest season of family guy Aaand soil See you in Street Fighter 7 everyone.
i definitely get nervous when i play against someone i know is a pro fighting game player. dont think its completely unreasonable to assume he might've been "camera shy", as the chatter put it.
His side kick special is the sole reason i picked up karateman in SF3, 5, and 6. As soon as we get alex im swapping, but i appreciate this guide in the meantime, say-jam.
One thing to keep in mind. The quality of players in Diamond is a lot less strong right now than what they were closer to launch. Unless they play multiple character, the better players have all funneled into Master and stay there. The system is essentially designed to funnel people to Master if they are willing to put in the time to grind LP. But still a very small percentage of the playerbase is actually Master.
i'm also plat with 4 chars and I've noticed a distinct difference since launch in plat. Plat is like 50/50 between "I don't understand the game but I have these one or two strategies that beat most people at my rank" and thoughtful players learning/ranking up a new char @@eebbaa5560
I encounter so many master Smurfs in Diamond, I have to disagree. I’m stuck at 23000-24000 with about 500 wins and it seems impossible to get to master at this point.
Yeah I'm not sure that's true. It might be true, but considering every time you change characters it puts you back into Diamond, I'd bet a large percentage of the playerbase are actually players who have been playing for a while and are trying other characters out. If anything the Diamond grind might be less consistent than it was before but there's still plenty of challenge in there.
Super beginner question because I don't really understand how good players do inputs and I'm brand new to SF: When you do the denjin powerup in the video, Ryu doesn't move, he just powers up. When I do it, you can distinctly see Ryu crouch twice when I'm doing the inputs. I'm in training room pressing down down punch as fast as I can and he still crouches. Can you explain how to get inputs to be smoother/faster? Or is there some sort of mechanic to it? I hope this makes sense.
Just practice, man, keep doing the input, and you'll eventually find the timing. Keep going after that, and you'll become consistent at it. It's a normal part of the learning curve, and you aren't doing anything wrong.
He's doing the denjin I put during the fireball attack animation so that it comes out right away. Sajam has a couple videos on buffering you could watch and it works similar to this.
Justin could probably get to Masters with one button. I don't think using that as an example of not having to learn a bunch of stuff makes it applicable to the vast majority of people. He still has to learn what's what so he can do that successfully
Almost willing to bet money when they eventually release an arcade edition/super sf6 and give everyone something new ryu will get a counter of some sort. I'm sure many fans would be happy if he got like Gouken's rdp + p counter from sf4, and it's pretty much writing on the wall with his new updated 'growing into the master' look in sf6.
Ryu main here. Can't ever land a Cr LP Standin LP LK Donkey Kick, tried about 100 times in training. I see Sajam doing it pretty easily I don't really get what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for advice dear FGC
Bro as somebody playing since '09 I *constantly* mix up fierce/forward/jab with hp/mk/lp and honestly? I feel pretty good about it. I miss the old names.
Street Fighter strategy loops back around to being about punching

And that luke got diamond probably playing lame all the way, he did not use a single flash knuckle combo all game long
hey man if it works it works

that luke had him on the ropes. looks like he was playing pretty well!
they need to give ryu from streets a gun
And water with no ice
He's already got two, and fires one off with heavy punch
A fireball for the modern age

You don't use him in the game anymore?

@@kanavi2ooo do blanka, he’s the only character I have in master and he’s so fun. Heavy ball will get you to 1600 mr lmao

@@iannordin5250L take, there's absolutely nothing boring about Ryu
Ryu is the biggest chad in the roster IMO and being a basic bitch is, ironically, a big part of his appeal
Hey there everybody, this is Ryu, from streets.
Did you know? My favorite things are:
standing into heavy punch
stale bread
water without any ice
the newest season of family guy
Aaand soil
See you in Street Fighter 7 everyone.
We like the character overviews!
3:50 “why is his hair red?” Better question, why are his eyebrows red?
I recently got Ryu into Masters. Feels good.
Gratz brother.
thanks for making these guides

as a plat player on three characters, it’s over.

Aki seems really fun.
i like ryu in this game but i already want to play like six other characters so i’ll just watch wistfully from afar… also i miss his vt2

I don't recall that being a combo, might be a frame trap instead
Might be a mashing issue? Notice he only hits his buttons once per
St. Lp > St. LK only works on counterhit my g
It would be more fun if we can fireball then, level 1 fireball after. Bring that back. Why no one is talking about that?
How do you do dp into ca on hitbix ?
Reminds me of Floe's Urien Tutorial 🥲Always press Fierce
hey sajam, what are the songs playing in this video? :)
Is this about Supertf? 6:25
Ok but, why is his hair red?
Buff ryus hop kick
Fierce? What are you, 50?
No but ryu is
When does he say fierce?

what did ryu say in japanese when he use level 3 super

I literally can't beat his cr. mk, nerf Ryu pls it's such a bad matchup for Luke
W bait lil bro
Would have been more believable troll if you didn't pick the character that is better than Ryu in every single way.
You're joking right?
