Exblackman has won the second Marvel vs. Capcom 3 guide competition here on EventHubs
with this Ryu submission and takes home the $50 prize.
You'll find a breakdown of Ryu's normals, specials, and Hypers with a lot more information to help you pick up and learn this character.
Anyone can join this competition to write their own MvC3 forum guide. The next contest begins today and will end on June 15th, 2011. The prize remains at 50$ and will be awarded to the best overall character guide. If you're interested, all you have to do is visit the
MvC3 character forums and make your own character guide thread to enter the contest.
Please use the subject
Forum_Username's MvC3 guide for Character_Name when making a thread. For example, in Exblackman's case, his post is titled: "Exblackman's MVC3 guide for Ryu". This will make it easier to keep track of the guides on the various character sections, as those areas will collect other posts as well, besides guide submissions.
People who have won before in this monthly competition can't win again for a while, but later down the road an even bigger prize will be awarded to someone who has faithfully created the best guide of them all. This "big prize" will be eligible to everyone, even past winners.
Here's a piece from Exblackman's Ryu guide, in his Tactics section.
Against other projectile characters it is important to note that Hadoken often loses to other zoning character projectiles. Use this this to your advantage when you have meter. If a zoning character sees a hadoken coming a lot of the time they will use their own projectile to try to beat it. You can always cancel a Hadoken even late to Shinku-Hadoken. Do this as soon you see their starting animation to fire a projectile. This may take time to learn the timing but is a important skill to not only get some free damage but also to make your opponent hesitate to throw projectiles allowing you to keep your zoning an option to use in battle.
Credit for the idea and this contest goes to Zombiebrian, who has been a consistently helpful administrator on the forums for a long time.
SHORYUKEN!!!!
