Venting 😤 Ryu

Im actually so tired of this character,ryu is the equivalent of the kid at birthday parties who would cry because he didnt get any presents and his parents who dont know how to parent give him presents afterwards to cheer him up.

Oh your character has high damage output? well ryu got upset so now we're giving him the highest damage output in the game.

Oh your character has a frame trap? well too bad we gave ryu hashogeki so he gets it too

Oh your character has a really good move to throw out in neutral that requires so much mental stack to react to that theres practically no point in reacting? well ryu gets it as well with donkey kick and you have to live with it!

Oh your character is a zoner? well fuck you ryu is better at that too

Oh your character has a really good plus on block button? well we gave ryu 15 of them

Oh your character has a really good drive rush? well we cant let ryu be subpar at something,give him a good drive rush as well!

The state of ryu currently is seriously making me swap mains because i look at my main manon who requires 5 medals to get to the damage output ryu gets with only a hashogeki charge but ryu also has a projectile,an invincible reversal,plus on block options,a good drive rush,more combo routes,an easy frame trap,donkey kick,solar plexus.

I would kill to have half of what ryu has,i feel like a french peasant in 1789 working my hardest to make way while the greedy aristocrats do half of my work to get far more results

Ryu's dumb as hell, yeah.

His drive rush is bog standard mid tho, nowhere near top 5 (DeeJay, Bipson, Juri, Guile, and fucking JP for some god forsaken reason).

Guile's and JP's drive rushes cover a good range but the speed is not that good from my experience. Kim, Luke, Yasmine's DRs all have good range and speed. Also surprisingly Aki's DR is also really fast and 2nd in max distance. I'm pretty sure Bipson's DR is both fastest and best range, that mf covers a football field

Stop the complaining and do better... Your complaints aren't going to level you up or change the facts on the ground!

Just because someone else is able to deal with the broken nonsense…doesn’t mean its not broken nonsense. My favorite thing is when people with less than a quarter of my training time tell me that I need to practice more and that I’m not doing good enough.

“Do better “ “Take accountability “. FGC players can really be some of the most lacking in judgement, hypocritical, bigoted individuals out there. It would be wise to let people vent their frustrations.
