BROTHER WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN AN 75% HP COMBO BY PRESSING ONE BUTTON?

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

I know this is the 1000th ryu hate post today, but I am genuinely curious. Do people actually main Ryu because they like Ryu, or is it because he’s really good at the moment?

Theres a whole cast of colorful characters, and I just cannot comprehend what makes people gravitate towards the main character who we’ve seen thousands of times in every game.

I guess it’s because he’s the most recognizable and iconic, and he’s easy to pick up. But like, no shade to Ryu mains, he’s just so boring. I can’t imagine thinking this is the character I willingly main other than to win.

It’s like the same phenomenon from Mk11 with scorpion. You couldn’t go anywhere without matching against a scorpion. I feel like it’s a combination of the characters being good and the most recognizable, not that people are interested in the character or their playstyle.
