Ryu was previously considered a powerful character in ''SSB4'', even consistently | Ryu was previously considered a powerful character in ''SSB4'', even consistently ranking in top tier in competitive play (being ranked 11th/12th out of 54 ranked characters near the end of the game's lifespan), thanks to a combination of an extremely powerful combo game and consistent KO potential, made better by his great endurance and the existence of rage. Likely due to some of these factors, Ryu was initially significantly nerfed in the transition to ''Ultimate'', losing many of his options and being harmed by gameplay changes, though he has also received plenty of equally significant buffs from game updates that have alleviated his direct nerfs. Nonetheless, despite now being objectively buffed as a character, the changes to the engine's gameplay means Ryu is still considered to be slightly nerfed overall. | ||
Ryu has received various nerfs to his most powerful options. Light [[up tilt]] and both versions of [[down tilt]] have smaller hitboxes, and the former sends aerial targets at a less favorable angle, making it less feasible to chain multiple tilt attacks in a row. [[Up aerial]] also possesses similarly shorter range. [[Neutral aerial]] possesses far more ending lag, and the changes to the [[Sakurai angle]] make it far harder to chain into itself or combo into down aerial. [[Shoryuken]] has more landing lag and less intangibility. [[Focus Attack]] also has a lower armor threshold, boasts less range and doesn't hit behind Ryu, making it less safe of a move to use. | Ryu has received various nerfs to his most powerful options.
