Common Challenges
Ryu struggles against opponents with strong zoning and projectile setups in SF6 due to his lack of reliable long-range options. Additionally, his slower startup and limited combo potential make it challenging to capitalize on openings against faster characters.
Innovative Solutions
To overcome these challenges, Ryu players should focus on utilizing his strong normal buttons for footsie pressure, while employing his Hadoken and Shoryuken for frame traps and anti-airs. Additionally, studying opponent patterns and predicting their projectile setups can help in finding openings to close the distance and apply pressure. Enhancing the use of his V-Trigger 1 for improved mobility and damage output can also provide an advantage.
