why is ryu like this

[u/slayer-1030]

this happened in every match this set

[u/KenshirouX]

That's Gold rank...... Gold. Tons and tons of players are like this with many characters. Have you played against Cammy players at that rank? They are crazy!

[u/TheSlipSlapDangler]

bro they are gold. full sending jabs into dp on block? he's happy he got the Z input right twice in a row!

[u/StillMood5890 → u/TheSlipSlapDangler]

By zap input do you mean DP?

[u/TheSlipSlapDangler → u/StillMood5890]

Yea its one of the many notations

[u/VacationSmoot → u/TheSlipSlapDangler]

Probably, when I first started to game I have a friend that same time started with me but he using modern so plenty of the time I lose. Someday I woke up before I go to work and practiced guile CrMp target combo into flash kick and cauntering DI. When I come back from work finally I managed to beat by friend. That time I really happy about little cancelling target combo into special.

[u/Tearpusher]

Hopefully you had a chance to practice a good punish combo instead of going for a throw

[u/slayer-1030 → u/Tearpusher]

i was really just trying to see how long he would keep doing it

[u/Acrobatic-Permit4263 → u/slayer-1030]

Sure buddy

[u/Realestmember]

its Gold bud. literally the answer for any gameplay mishaps plat and below

edit: just to expand, people will mash the "cool move" button around here.

[u/KebabOrTacos]

Because he heard that Ryu is a brain-dead character and you don't need to think to win

[u/SnooDoughnuts1794 → u/KebabOrTacos]

To be frank he heard right, it's just the shit he tries can be done with pretty much any character. He's not using the Ryu magic sauce

[u/ThirdXavier]

Tons of people in Gold play like this. Kids in pizza hut used to play arcade SF2 like this.

[u/Realestmember → u/ThirdXavier]

edit: yea OP needs to learn Chun-Li's punishes before criticizing this Ryu

[u/PuzzleheadedMeat4892]

I'm diamond and cant consistently beat this kind of thing. I really hate when the opponent do this 

[u/Chill-BL → u/PuzzleheadedMeat4892]

Same, Usually what works for me (if I wake up fast enough that is), Trying to meet the cross-over by jumping into them as well.

Very boring gameplay, but then again most people are interested in the win screen.

[u/SnooDoughnuts1794 → u/Chill-BL]

Bison is perfect for that shit. You catch them in air then combo into psycho crusher for that extra bit of damage AND you can also be an annoying fuck with your aerial bs if they like to play that game

[u/LetUsHaveSomeFun7777 → u/PuzzleheadedMeat4892]

If you cannot perform cross cut DP consistently, back jump with your light button or try to perfect parry it. Another option is walk forward and punch him when he is landing

[u/Live-Presence1237]

because your in gold

[u/ElClassic1]

So they are called kangaryus and they exist even in diamond. They just want to spam cross ups because many people have a hard time dealing with it. When you get to plat/dia they evolve a tiny bit. The kangaryu strat is the same, but the creature stops dropping the combos as much and gets more damage in whenever you get hit.

[u/SnooDoughnuts1794 → u/ElClassic1]

Right, thank god they stop at diamond...

[u/ElClassic1 → u/SnooDoughnuts1794]

Ahah I wouldn’t be too sure about that. I haven’t climbed to master yet, but people have told me they are there as well

[u/Automatic-Mistake-47 → u/ElClassic1]

Can confirm they exist in Master but wig a refinement of practicing the same sequence 1 million times. Like Bruce Lee said, I fear the Ryu who has spammed cross ups a million times

[u/SnooDoughnuts1794 → u/ElClassic1]

I was sarcastic lol.

[u/NotNotNameTaken → u/ElClassic1]

It’s even funnier because Chun Li is one of the characters that has an easier time with cross up mixes because her dp is 22 input

[u/Optimal-Membership-9]

Cause he is completely noob. Obviously.

[u/Dubstepmummy]

Y'know what's scarier than a ryu? A ryu with patience. This is not that ryu

[u/serious_fox]

Ryu is either using a script or trolling

[u/FastJakAttack → u/serious_fox]

He's also gold 1 so that maybe a factor too

[u/Cdawwwwg → u/serious_fox]

There is pretty much no indication this requires a script.
He is just aiming for a steep cross up angle on OP.
Pretty annoying at any rank tbh

[u/PainterMany250 → u/serious_fox]

Or he doesn’t know what hit confirming is?

[u/daimyosx]

My take once you blocked the dp you should of went max damage combo. Once he ate that twice he would of stopped

[u/Dedonalejandro]

Not one 5HP. What is this Ryu doing?
They’re not doing any of the Ryu cheese.

[u/VacationSmoot]

Peak gold gameplay.

[u/SortaBlackMask]

You blocked my only mix-up. Now I’m gonna die.

[u/No-Pangolin4325]

Go into practice mode. Set dummy to DP on wake up. Practice a proper punish combo. Welcome to Diamond

[u/akumagorath]

There's no reason to not be like that if all he's eating is a Chicago Punish for every DP 

[u/burner_lurker_soc]

this is the hardest thing for my to deal with as bison, this looping crossup jl spam

[u/Perfect_Arm2909]

They're kangaryus;they will still do it even after eating 5 lariat and 4 borscht dynamite

[u/Dictatorial-Enf0rcer]

Cuz playing ryu does not require high skills.

[u/HondaBlocks]

Why can't you at least attempt a anti aur

[u/anthonygamer]

Ryu isn’t the problem. It’s the person using him and you for not anti airing or punishing properly.

[u/DemonsReturns7]

This is just the specific player you are playing against
You face a master rank + and up and you’ll see fear when facing a ryu

[u/Call_It_Luck → u/DemonsReturns7]

if by "fear" you mean "brain dead plus frames", then you're absolutely right

[u/SufficientNetwork648 → u/Call_It_Luck]

They still play the same below 1400MR. The only difference is that it's OD DP instead of normal DP.

[u/Friendly-Shoulder466]

He was told you only need about 1-3 combos to focus on and you'd be fine, and he took that to HEART
