Ryu spins in a circle and travels across the screen. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (Quarter Circle Backwards + Kick / Down – Back – Kick) So long as you do this in one slick move, a Shoryuken should come out. The easiest way to do it is to press forwards and then quickly pull down and perform a fireball motion, complete with the punch at the end. Many beginners find the Shoryuken motion difficult to pull off.

Stronger uppercuts leave you more open to attack if missed or blocked, so be careful. The height & strength of the uppercut is influenced by the button used, with LP being the shortest and least damaging and HP the highest and most painful. Ryu’s rising uppercut, his anti-air attack.

Shoryuken (Z-Motion + Punch / Forward – Down – Forward – Punch) An EX fireball is the fastest of all, and more powerful. The speed of the fireball is influenced by the punch button you choose – LP slowest, up from there. Ryu tosses a fireball from his bare hands. Hadouken (Quarter Circle Forward + Punch / Down – Forward – Punch) Fully charged or EX fireballs will penetrate all defences, including blocks. Ryu’s moves become more powerful, stringing moves together into combos becomes easier, and he gains the ability to charge his fireballs by holding down the punch button when throwing them. Once the V-Trigger gauge is full, triggering Ryu’s Denjin Renki powers him up. V-Trigger: Denjin Renki (HP, HK Simultaneously when V-Trigger Gauge is full) Whiff the timing and you will be left open to a nasty attack – so be careful! It’s even possible to parry each individual hit of Chun-Li’s super, so with practice it can be deadly. By timing it correctly so it catches your opponent’s attack, Ryu will brush it off, no damage. V-Skill: Mind’s Eye (MP, MK Simultaneously) As you might imagine, Ryu’s skill set is simple to understand but difficult to master, and his speed, damage output, combo potential and health are all slap bang in the middle of the pack, making him an ideal starting point. Ryu is the bread-and-butter character that all Street Fighter players should learn at least a little with before moving on to their favourite character of choice.
