RYU - NORMAL MOVES - SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4

LIGHT PUNCH

     

•  Crouching light punch is one of Ryu's best normal attacks, allowing him to start many combos and set up tick throws.

MEDIUM PUNCH

     

• Crouching medium punch is a solid poke which also sets up many combo opportunities.

• Jumping Medium punch is a good air-to-air move which allows him to follow up with an Ultra or EX Fireball on hit.

HARD PUNCH 

     

• Crouching fierce punch is slow and unsafe even on hit 

• Can be used during poke-strings to catch people teching/crouch-teching

• It will stand up the opponent character during combos allowing followups such as hurricane kicks that whiff versus a crouching opponent

 LIGHT KICK

     

• Crouching light kick, although not as fast as crouching light punch, is still a good combo starter when in close.

MEDIUM KICK

     

• Crouching medium kick is one of his best pokes, if not the best, allowing him to apply a lot of pressure when comboing into his Hadouken.

HARD KICK

     

• Crouching hard kick is a mid-range fast knockdown move and sets up the nasty wakeup games

• Is unsafe to many supers and ultras if blocked

COMMAND NORMALS

OVERHEAD PUNCH

FORWARD + STRONG PUNCH

   

• Two hit ground overhead with slow start-up and no real follow-ups, but is needed against a very tightly defensive player. 

SOLAR PLEXUS STRIKE

 

FORWARD + FIERCE PUNCH

• Two hit punch that moves Ryu forward. You can combo after it with a dragon punch and also many of his normal moves such as crouching strong and crouching fierce.

Comments

I know you can combo a late jumping heavy kick into a full Metsu Shoryuken.

Is this a valid strategy? It's rare, but one match I had an open opportunity for a jump-in and that god me a free Metsu Shoryuken.
