Background

Ryu is the ever wandering warrior who practices Shotokan karate. He comes to the scene in SF1 looking to beat all of the best fighters around the world, and is the protagonist and only playable character in the original SF1. He travels to defeat the champions of multiple countries before fighting Sagat, the strongest of them all. After defeating Sagat, Ryu walked into the distance, eager for his next fight.

Introduction

Ryu in SF1MR is a much more stable zoner than much of the cast. Shoryuken gives him an incredible anti-air and defensive tool, and his Hadouken fireball compliments it perfectly by taking up tons of screen space. Pokes like 2D let Ryu threaten damage and a knockdown from a safe range, and if he gains the life lead, it can be very hard to get it back.

Ryu suffers from low damage output however. His best special for combos, 214K, is very inconsistent and whiffs in many situations. Unlike in other games, Shoryuken and Hadouken don't make up for this much. Luckily, he can take advantage of SF1MR's gatling system to easily end in sweep, though this does less damage at the cost of safe okizeme and taunts. His 2D also combos into 236236P, though it can drop hits from far ranges.

Taunt Style: Ryu has a meter gain taunt.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Zoning: With a decent projectile and a great anti-air, Ryu has very strong potential to zone opponents out Simple: Ryu isn't particularly hard, relying mostly on simple links and normal cancels for a majority of his combos Useful Super: Shinku Hadouken is a very good super for neutral and combos both	No Mixup: Throws are not a universal concept in SF1MR, and Ryu lacks an overhead or a crossup. This forces him to rely on chip to make realistic comebacks, making it so getting the life lead is necessary to win Low Damage: Ryu lacks the 70% meterless combos of the top tiers like Adon and Sagat, or any real TOD potential
