Also, Rhys, with the help of Adnan, sent over some more impressions of Evil Ryu in the game, which you can see by hitting the jump.
Close Standing Fierce/Crouching Fierce
• Low Jab, Close Standing Fierce is an excellent frame trap.
• Crouching Fierce is a better anti air on closer jump ins and neutral jumps since in those situations a DP will trade. Crouching Fierce will beat those clean.
• Crouching Fierce, Cancel into Overhead Stomp beats crouch techs.
Dragon Punch
• Medium DP seems to be Evil Ryu's better anti air option, it didn't trade in situations where Hard Dragon Punch traded.
• Still not completely sure but EX DP seems to have very, very little invincibility. It definitely has some but not as much as regular Ryu's DP. I was able to Option Select Dictator's wake up Psycho Crusher with my EX DP and I beat it clean, so this move has some invincibility.
Hurricane Kick
• Can cross up with Hurricane Kick, however I haven't found a move to follow up with. The opponent is hit very far away.
• Evil Ryu can land sweep after Light Hurricane on Dhalsim. I'm assuming that this works on other members of the cast but is character specific just like Akuma.
Ultra 1
• Can punish opponents fireballs up close with Ultra 1, Evil Ryu will take the damage of whatever fireball the opponent throws but will get full damage for his Ultra 1 on the opponent.
Example: Sagat Threw a tiger shot at my low medium kick range, I did my Ultra 1. Tiger shot hits me but my Ultra 1 gets full damage.
Even is capcom Felicia them, people that know the code will reopen them and practice on the dl
Oni... Looks so GDLK.
I DGAF about the whole "Shotos are all the same" argument.
9 out of 10 people would say that Oni is "The BADASS" (Borderlands reference).
Also, I assume there are two more characters that are "Hidden."
Funny thing, unconfirmed sources have more validity than confirmed sources in Capcom.
Prodigy just got out of jail mobb deep ahah nah seriously that was my first thought when i read the title =0
Dnt hate one e.ryu and ONI. What ppl still have not realized is that ONI is not akuma. They play nothin alike and have look different. People might say loon at the prayer beads but so does Gouken in his alternate. He is much bigger and slower than akuma. And they r great additions to ssf4ae not those lame ass chars like Karin
People love to bitch y not karin or Elena like really?? Karin is not important to the sf franchise what so ever. All she does is get her ass beat by Sakura. We dt want no pussy punk females we already have Sakura and ibuki this ain't a kids game. Only perverts want Elena so u can beat ur meat to her y'all pathetic. Im surprised it took this long to finally add e.ryu to the game he is more of a factor to the sf universe than Karin and Elena. E.ryu is the sh!t and stop hatin on him
@15
I agree all this karin,and elena nonsense and r.mika, who really likes those lot 3 of the most underused in previous games why would they bring them back? evil and oni are part of the ongoing dark hadou/ryu/akuma/gouken storyline THE longest running feud in game history and know its moving on wots up with that? Arent u sick of the same old story obviously capcom are, Thats why they are doing it to make there next sf series is fresh and not stuck in a loop anymore so eat a s***
of course its gouken i mean everything he does is goken and check out the real legend of the japanese oni it makes sense he trancended so just chill and wait to see what really happens thats y they wanted to wait cause speculation is a killer when it comes to untested product
i main fei long and i played AE and hes heavily OP only really has guile,ken,sim as tricky matchups, shotos have really been toned down so its good to see that u need to work harder now to get results as ryu so e.ryu will compensate for that but risk and reward just like akuma in chocolate, yun is by far the most rewarding character as hes got good stamina and huge combo/juggle ability and frame traps off of 75% of his many option selects, so id say these new chars are only a little taste of wots to come in dlc, as we will see even more crazy game balancing to see how the last 2 chars shape so why u still all bitching oni and evil are in look forward thats old news
To help stomp out the "Shotos are all the same" crap with Oni, he feels like a new character. Yes, he has tatsu and SRK, but thats not his entire bag of tricks. The air dash and SRK+Kicks slam move alone make him feel so different. Hell, that ground rush that can cross-up is amazing. He has fairly decent health and decent damage, so he feels balanced so far. Sadly the most I got out of him was two or three link matches and a run through arcade mode. I cant wait for the DLC version :3
Wicked. SO ABOUT THAT DLC!
