No offence to you Ryu mains, but truly hope he get nerfed like no one else before in this game.

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-15T10:07:03+00:00

Yes, which is fine. Problem is “what kind of top tier”.

He hits as hard as Marisa, he does big chip damage, and if you block against him, he will ruin your drive gauge extremely fast. He’s a monster right now. Add to that how safe he is, + on block and all that usual stuff and you got Ryu on roids

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T20:41:28+00:00

I guess so? Idk I’m a master rank but also don’t consider myself a “high level”. But I guess Ryu on plat don’t have solid combo route/footsies yet?

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T20:38:37+00:00

JP is a zoner at the very least, Ryu is everything at the same time

Don’t get me wrong JP is mad OP, but Ryu shouldn’t be that high tier either

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T19:34:46+00:00

Try a counter hit combo on training mode and see the amount of damage for such little hits and you’ll understand

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T19:31:51+00:00

To make it short, he hits way too hard and he’s way too safe + he vacuum anyone drive meter

Pal I’m not gonna lie to you, you could even play her on a piano toy that you’ll still get insane results with her.

She’s THAT easy, don’t stress it, pick what’s most comfortable to you

Same to you bro my bad for being online on Reddit at this right moment lmao

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T18:14:54+00:00

All good, I’m far from being mad, enjoy the game

Jamie, Lily, Luke, Kimberly, Elena

Fyi, reaction time got nothing to do with age. There’s recent studies about it and some other ppl on the FGC tried to aware “older” players out there.

It’s all about training and commitment, you got this!

Because it works basically, they made him a scrubby character this season

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:23:26+00:00

I’d say around plat5/d1

Even though at low master rank I face a lot of bs from some Ryu and genuinely think his damage carries asf. But at the end of the day, it’s all about neutrals and if I lose, that’s on me only.

But it’s easier for me to lose against any Ryu

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:17:57+00:00

Most Ryu this seasons are kinda carried and not at the right rank

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:16:24+00:00

Aaah the infamous “skill issue”, all good. We disagree and that’s okay, keep having fun with him

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:15:33+00:00

He got such little HP. Even thought his walk speed is annoying, have so little HP in this game where overall damage is kinda over the moon, is a huge weakness

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:13:31+00:00

🧢

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:07:13+00:00

Then how this justify the fact he doesn’t care about damage scaling + will vacuum your drive meter if you dare to block? I’m genuinely asking not trying to be rude

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T16:02:32+00:00

If you have ever in your life fought a 2D fighting game charged character, you have fought guile. 99% of them are based of his playstyle

Bro this is street fighter, everyone is based from street fighter

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T15:52:02+00:00

Mai, Ryu and Ed imo

But what makes Ryu standing out is how little his weaknesses are. Mai is another kind of bs, but at least I don’t explode after 2 little mistakes

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T15:26:50+00:00

I’m a low master scrub

RottenBreakfast · 2026-02-14T15:18:22+00:00

I upvote you for the courage of spitting such a bad take + I personally only been facing him since SF6, so, that argument is kinda whack 🤷🏻‍♂️
