Wow, the 2nd half where the music changes, so awesome.

capcom wouldnt want to piss off the happy crouch blockers...
@ vid
surprised no dive kicks O_o but good editing.
HA Evil Ryu has so much potential! People say he is a low tier character, clearly he is very good if u jus give him a chance! Great Video! DO an Oni one please!
Very nice. I was impressed with the completeness and the editing. You'd be surprised how many of these are actually very viable in a match.
Wasted an entire Week with Evil Ryu.
Sakura, Chun Li, Cammy, Makoto all of those are better characters with better options than E.Ryu.
If you play E.Ryu, you really need to like the character design, because the gameplay gets boring quick and lacks of mix ups...
All you do the entire Match is hit confirming something into c.mp or cl.s.hp, to get the Axe kick or Tatsu Combo. A little bit of zoning as well, but it's quite boring. There are characters who are way more fun to play as.
@RedPantyAddict
Believe it or not E. Ryu has a very strong fireball game and a good mixup game on the opponents wakeup.
His dive kick allows him to easily safe-jump all 4f-reversals and his fireballs give a lot of the non-fireball characters a lot of difficulty. He's a pretty good mix and is pretty fun.
The way I play him is that I just zone until I earn a knockdown then begin pressuring. Earn myself 500+ dmg then play cautiously again. He can also get out of some pretty bad situations with his teleport when used correctly.
Also the thing that separates E. Ryu from the characters you listed is the sheer amount of damage he can do without an ex bar and the fact he has a great fireball (excluding sakura for that one even though her fireballs are pretty below average).
Mixing in his fast normal fireball with ex fireballs, 1 hit/2 hit/3 hit/and ex red fireballs can make him extremely difficult to deal with at times.
Evil Ryu is my main. I would like to thank you for the video. I see I still have a lot to learn.
the music reminded me of these strange dreams ive been having. i cant remember exactly but... i have to keep climbing...
the editing for this video were top notch.
@Who is alpha #13
How the f↓ck do you zone characters like Bison, Adon and Blanka with E.Ryu who has like the slowest low pokes I've ever needed to use?
The damage he does is the only way to comprehend his lack of options in the footsie game and his lack of health. If you zone your oppenent like you do it with Ryu, one jumping combo can cost you the round.
Sakura needs one jumping Combo and a grab to stun E.Ryu.
Makoto needs one FA and 2 jabs or a mid punch to stun him.
Cammy needs two knock downs or 2 pokes and a jumping combo.
Chun Li zones E.Ryu out for free! So does Rose.
I really can't see at all! Why you should play E.Ryu over Ken, Ryu or Akuma. He's (at least to me) a waste of character slot. He's like lower mid tier, or even low tier.
@31 RedPanty
It just sounds like you are making excuses cause you don't handle this Shoto well. Back in Vanilla and Super I mained ken even when he was one of the poorest shotos being Rank B or C [I believe] and I still won many matches against Ryu, Sagat and Balrog users. Now I play Akuma and Evil Ryu. Do not blame your lack of skill with this character for tier levels. It's not about tier levels of characters, it's about how you can handle them in your match ups.
You also wrote in a previous post that E. Ryu has no good mixup game. You clearly don't know how to play with him then and think it's all about his combos. His Ashura-Ryuu Warp is I admit poor[along with his pokes] when by itself but if you use it as an option select it can get you quite far. For example. I can hit a big ass combo like:
*Cl. Fierce> Mk Axe> Cr. Mp> Lk tatsu> Shoryuken> FADC> F. mk to reset> [Ashura warp in the direction I choose]*
Oh here is an awesome reset just for you to work on:
Jump-in Fierce>cr. mp> Lk tatsu> cr. lp to reset and dash under to the other side of opponent> [To whatever the hell you want which INCLUDES the ZERO FRAMED RAGING DEMON]
I played my friend last night who is a Very good cammy user. Using E. Ryu I could grab and knock him down, then Lk tatsu for the mixup and warp back. Upon doing this, he thought I would try to grab him again or setup a block string, which had him react with a RH cannon spike. Now if you practice this in Training mode, you will find out that once he finishes the 3x Punch warp away, Cammy will land right infront of Evil Ryu which grants him a grab or Super/Ultra or a nice high damaging combo.
Sometimes I even had to throw my friend off so he wouldn't see the same thing coming, so once I did the lk tatsu over his cammy, I'd go for these options: [grab again], [neutral jump mk to start a combo], [Back away and Ex Axekick for a new knockdown]
Depending on the character and their way of reversing I can manipulate and mindf**k someone with that warp and zone if I like.
And if perhaps they are characters like Chun, Rose, Cammy, etc etc. It's CALLED[SAY IT WITH ME KIDS], ANTI-AIR SHORYU. YAYYY are we learning? And if you have two ex bars to spare and you don't think you will anti air in time: Throw a hadouken then FADC away.
Do not bash on a character simply because you don't know how to handle him. Instead try taking some time to think about what you can possibly do with the character to bait out reactions and go nuts from there.
@31 RedPanty
i play against from time to time and to let you E.Ryu is not that bad at all i play with for the fun of it and there's thing he can do. like F.MK to super which alpha told me was hard and also can anti air with his standing light kick his fireball game is ok. we played alpha a couple nights ago and i did raging demon with akuma and he did his teleport and i went right through him so his teleport is not that bad oh and he can easily can get in on Chun-li
@RyuResurrection
Cammy can f↓ck E.Ryu up only using s.HK and theres no Poke who beats it. I don't need to jump against E.Ryu as Cammy to out play him. So your "ANTI AIR SHORYU" crap can suck my d!ck. Do you actually think I'm that kind of low level player? Damn.
I gave E.Ryu a fair chance, learned your tatsu mix ups and decided; he still sucks.
Akuma > Ken > Ryu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>~ E.Ryu.
He's the worst shoto character and I don't even use any of them.
Ryu is already VERY easy as Sakura, Sakura is my personal Ryu counter, BUT E.Ryu is even easier. That character has absolutely nothing to win matches. His point blank game is quite aweful except his c.MP his footsie game is aweful and his Shoryu even trades on many characters like Dudley.
Those teleport shenanigans won't work on someone who's a quick learner. If I saw it once or twice I'm aware of it, as well I'm already thinking of countering it.
It's not like I can't handle E.Ryu well, it's just like the character sucks and has nothing appealing to me, except the high damage and the fast walking speed.
@Xavier
LOL @ E.Ryu getting in on Chun easily.
Chun Li & Rose are the WORST MU's for E.Ryu by far! Those two are 7 to 3 or even 8 to 2 because of his aweful pokes. And Rose just owns the fireball game completely and shuts him down with the superior Pokes. Chun just Hasenchu's his fireballs and pokes the crap out of him.
Aw man. Srsly you guys are just Shoto fanboys.
@Red Panty.
Again, you are making this about Rank of characters. Yeah , like I admitted, E. Ryu's poking game isn't great, but based on the experience and control of the character, you can totally light up someone with the character with proper zoning.
And to answer your question: No I don't think you are a low level player. I assume you to be such an amazing player that can call out the strategies of EVERY E. Ryu player and think you will win just because you know pokes. And as far as being a shoto fan boy goes, you are absolutely right. I can't think of anything better to label myself as, but a shoto fanboy. I mean just think about it, Half of the roster have shoto techniques including your ever so popular, Rose. Has a nice poke game, throws projectiles, and has her own anti air. And it's funny how you, out of everyone on this comments page, dislike E. Ryu.
All because you can't adjust to his style and chalk up his character to: "EASY, and awful footsie game." Again instead of bashing on the character, why not try adjusting yourself to his play style. If not, then just continue your endless rants about a character you claim to despise yet can't stop discussing in forums with people who "7 to 3" or "8 to 2" enjoy the character in his favor.
And as far as your Cammy goes, experienced E. Ryu players who understand Cammy's game such as LordofUltima or Mr. Naps would annihilate her.
@Red Panty-EVO Champion
One last thing I liked to reiterate with you. Character matchups doesn't mean a thing.
Here's a good example:
Daigo vs Poongko
Yun vs Seth
Poongko owned Daigo's Yun
So your argument that E. Ryu can be beaten because he has no poke game or useful tactics is just your excuse because once again, you simply can't play with him. It might not even be that he is a sucky character, it could just be that YOU SUCK at playing him. And I didn't write that with the intention of cracking on you, it's probably just straight fact
nice vid, I like Evil Ryu. I just hate how the axe kick is not a overhead unless its EX.. Thats so dumb...
