Tip from MarkySter.
"Imagine Ryu with Akuma tricks"
That alone makes me want to ignore this video. It's not that you become Akuma with a crappy teleport and a red fireball, Gouki is about vortex.
Also, some stuff is just wrong:
- Low stun, too: according to the reports it was 950. That's "okay", not as low as his health (850).
- Akuma style sweep: it just looks the same, but it's different. Take a look at the hitbox there, it's short. Also it's slower.
That cr.MK might be slow but the range is scary.
Still, decent vid for those who missed all the vids from the unlock days.
wow this vid basically explain why this character is a waste lool who's going to use evil ryu over akuma in a pro like match ?
@saikyoryu
you should then understand your not on the level of play "gtfopanda" is talking about as you ignore his real strength which is mix ups but because akuma's is so good they name his vortex.
@8 Boring to you, it's high-level play nonetheless. How you play Akuma doesn't make his strengths any less good.
@gunnah_scrub Way to talk rubbish before you find out or know anything about a character.
@4 Blockable, at least from what I've experienced at my arcade.
(Can't tell the difference between Ultra 1 hold/no hold, but ok.)
@speakertag
Anyone can clearly tell evil ryu is just solid, theres no wow factor about him, as this vid has pointed out his normals are like ryu's with a bit more range making his footsie game a bit better than ssf4 ryu's but still nothing to great, moves like his teleport and his sweep seems less effective than akuma's, evil ryu has no demon flip and has no air fireball to create a wide variety of offensive opportunities, the axe kick he has seems like it would give frame adv so im going to assume thats how he keep close but overall evil ryu was a waste and isn't needed.
So cool, Akuma gets more shiny and a Ryu skin. This is pathetic.
Just give us Rolento and Charlie already. People bitch about Charlie being Guile and then applaud this bulls-it.
Compared to this skin change, Charlie is endless times different from Guile. At least he has his own different moves. even if Guile's moves are similar, they are different.
This is exactly Akuma with a new move.
not much work for capcom here. that should mean we get some more fighters if it comes as DLC!
@8 are you kidding? it's the most boring thing in SF to face a fleeing akuma online. jump fireball and teleport when cornered. i think theres no cheaper fighting 'technique' than that. maybe dhalsim would be a better choice..
What combos are there that we haven't seen? Other than his fadc U2 combos, it's Ryu and Akuma combos since he has Ryu and Akuma normals and specials.
i wish they mad ultra 2 for akuma like evil ryu's ultra 1 or ultra 2. akuma has the worst ulta in the game. impossible as hell to land. they could have given him a fireball ultra in the air. ima play wit evil ryu since he is a basic rip of akuma with better ultra's and a RD super.
capcom step ur game up next time.

SSF4 AE will come 24th June 2011 according to this. new disc it is. hope there are many more characters then
He's even more dull than I imagined.
Good editing on the video at least.
He isn't like Akuma lol. He may have a couple similar moves, but his playstyle isnt based on wake-up games lol. He;s heavily dependant on his cr.mk fireball game, so that seems more ryu to me, but his combos are way longer and much more damaging than both. He's different than both of them, despite the moveset being similar.
He seems to be more about the rushdown and taking some risks. He may have a few things that are Akuma-esque, but he plays more like Ryu, he's more linear.
He also doesn't have a vortex style game like Akuma does, plus you can choose to either be aggressive with Akuma, or defensive by using his air fireballs froma distance.
I thought i read somewhere that his cr. mk can't combo into the fireball because it was slow, but cr.mp can.
Overall, an interesting character, that I'm sure many will be using.
As "AeriALs" says he doesn't play like akuma, hes basically a better ryu but poor players aren't really likely to stick to him because of the low health and they soon realise that mashing SRK only gets you defeated quicker
@SSJ3X
I think you might have read cr.jab cant link to cr.mk because that cant link.
Evil Ryu looks devastating....his Ultra 2 animation is amazing.
Seriously, it's bad ass. Akuma needs a vicious ultra like that as well, I still hate his ultra 2 and it can be dodged by crouching or back dashing....lol. I cringe every time an Akuma tries it and whiffs.
His ultra looks cool so he must be good huh? I can dig it.
I like how in the video the 3rd Strike shoto sweep was called the Akuma sweep while the 3rd Strike crouch mk wasn't called T.Hawk's crouch mk.
He plays almost exactly like old ryu, just throw in some akuma tactics. I honestly feel like his teleport (and most other moves) are extremely sluggish... almost feels like you're playing online with lag lol. Even his stomp (only ex hits overhead) is slow. Gives plenty of time to read the overhead, especially since the only one you need to block high is flashing.
All i'll say is i told you guys so, i said when ER was 1st ever mentioned that he'd be in. Now my fellow Shotokan fighters, now is the time to take control of everything. Let anything not shoto be eradicated, n thrown into infinite n perpetual anguish with the fact that we are power personified. Let them be overwhelmed n suppressed by the infinite hordes of shotos let them cowardly run as they watch us lay waste to everything. This is the year of the ShotokanS!!!!! LOL shotos4life :)
I can just imagine the Dev Team's thought process when it came to deciding the new characters.
Dev 1: "Hmm, what about Q?"
Dev 2: "We can't do that, he has a dash punch and Balrog has a dash punch. It's UNORIGINAL."
Dev 1: "Some people like Necro. What about him?"
Dev 2: "NO, he's too much like Blanka and Dhalsim except that he his primary strength is corner pressure, but he can't really rushdown, and his normals have no priority."
Dev 1: "What about Urien?"
Dev 2: "We already gave Seth two of his moves and Seth is way more original and interesting."
Dev 1: "What about Evil Ryu? He'll be like Akuma with less mix-up, but he'll have this hole in his chest. We'll also give him a Shoryu Reppa ultra."
Dev 2: "YEAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!"
Evil Ryu seems pretty sick, I hope capcom can release MORE chracters for the AE edition.
