SF6 Year 1 Patch Notes - Ryu

No one change is a gun but there's like 3 buffs among these changes which will absolutely affect ryu's tier placement

[@HakumeiTenshi]

No matter how many times I look up a patch breakdown from other youtubers I will never not come back to Baf's silky smooth voice

[@goop2345]

For real, Baf's ability to present changes concisely is unmatched

[@jigawatt7941]

Baf's voice gets me bricked too

[@Suprapika]

I like balance changes being described as "surprisingly malicious"

[@mikekue2167]

Lol

[@Bafael]

He had "super fireball even when regular fireball was on the screen" in vanilla sf4 and it was extremely broken in that game. Didn't think I'd ever see them try it again on purpose

[@Suprapika]

@@Bafael I hope they keep it, it's cool and fireballs don't seem nearly as powerful as they were in 4.

[@ricniclas]

Ryu 5HP punish counter now combos into Heavy Hashogeki without denjin charge. he now gets massive damage in whiff punishes or punishes in general with this button

[@Bafael]

Oh very nice

[@elegy8187]

The GOAT is back with patch notes

[@sparkydeltorro]

I dont even play SF6, but will still watch and look forward to more of these breakdowns

[@nathandawit2899]

the light donkey kick changes means now the knockdown after landing it is +42, which gives ryu an automatic safe jump in the corner. should make him more threatening in the corner. great vid btw

[@zonk834]

Something about being read patch notes to by Baf just feels so right.

[@chopman5152]

Worth noting the LVL 1 super change means Ryu can easily react to his EX fireball blowing through an opponent's non-EX and confirm it into super from pretty much anywhere on the screen.

[@stoveFGC]

I'm ripping everyone but aki open with this buff rn it's actually cracked

[@meathir4921]

It's weird how Ryu had some obvious weirdness with some of his tools, and clearly the devs knew since they immediately fixed a lot of them here.

[@Rex-golf_player810]

I think they did not know the extent of his much it would cockblock him until 1 year later

[@PlunderinGrunt]

I think it's also worth mentioning the universal change that pressing HP + HK during the cancel window won't cause a TC to come out. It's a great qol change, since cancelling 5HP too late into DI would previously cause you to eat a punish counter since the TC has a longer cancel window, and even a 1HP+HK input would come out as the TC.

[@FrMZTsarmiral]

These changes sound really nice, not only to make Ryu stronger but also just to make him more fun to play. Even if he gets outclassed by Akuma and other shotos his options no longer feel disappointing (which was my main issue with him on release), specially with how denjin charge works now.

[@A2ZOMG]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Ryu actually was the best shoto rn because unlike Ken and Luke he actually gets meterless strike throw from light chains. The pushback buffs to his LPs means he's close enough to walk meaty throw after canceling into L.Tatsu while Ken and Luke need to DR to get meaty throw. That combined with routing buffs that put his average damage on par or better than the others, Ryu is looking extremely threatening.

[@chipslight738]

I've never understood why they gave him two target combo that doesn't really do much and a buff special he has to use in neutral. My only wish from the patch was to have TC lead to a free charge and they not only gave me that, they buffed Ryu a whole lot. This is amazing to look at.

[@Jackrost01]

​@@chipslight738maybe they thought that it will be too powerful to give him Akuma's buff(red fire ball). They thought that you need to sacrifice pressure to gain buff, but I still don't get why they don't let you store it

[@JB_CY]

Ryu got majorly buffed this patch. Very happy to see. Keeping denjin when using fireballs is very important imo.

[@sleepofgc]

They buffed him all around but it seems like they want his fireball game to be his standout feature. With the denjin and hitstun changes, there's a lot of ranges where you can do light fireball > EX denjin fireball > EX fireball > SA1. If you land on a fireball and Ryu has denjin + drive, he actually has tons of options. Even spaced light fireball > EX denjin fireball > drive rush gives him some pretty silly conversions for a normal projectile

[@Megaman.ExE7]

I always get so excited for Baf's posts. Nobody is more reliable than you Baf. All these years and your still the most consistent when it comes to patch notes

[@picantepollo6238]

Simple and to the point visual patch notes are back.

[@Death_By_Orange]

Shinku being 7 frames also hugely buffs Ryu's routing into it. You used to have to use Light Hashogeki in juggles to make it work, but now it works just find from your Medium Hashogeki juggles that go into Heavy Shoryuken.

[@nickkiller-0710]

If Ryu does a TC into the Denjin charge in the corner, the knock down automatically times his st mp to hit meaty and he gets +1 advantage.

[@ryhzuo]

You should do 2MP instead of 5MP for +2 advantage.

[@stanley8006]

BREAKING: CapCom actually hires this man. Aki buffed beyond comprehension, oro added and is only a good char in his hands

[@sky_shu]

As a guile main...ryu lookin p spicy

[@ViperKreuz]

Ryu can now connect an LP hadoken into the denjin hadoken if timed right. That's crazy.

[@jerry3115]

We need more patches for this game so i can listen to baf talk more

[@lorentsenjr]

Looking forward to the Zangief breakdown!

[@ilikemynameNOTHING]

If you see the OD fireball trade with a regular fireball midscreen, from the delay against the opponent's regular fireball, as well as the delay from them getting hit from the punish counter, you can usually win the fireball war, AND react with an SA1 to combo. That was the first use i thought of for the OD Hadoken/SA 1 change

[@average_kaiji_fan]

Ah, the tradition continues. I do not play sf6 much at all anymore but will gladly listen to baf tell me what's up every major patch. Thank you.

[@senzen623]

all the buffs are nice but being able to hold denjin charge is a change that makes ryu feel more complete and fun. even if he ends up being overtuned and eventually nerfed, i'll be happy to keep on playing this version of ryu

[@a.nonymous5004]

Noticed you used the word "amusing" to describe a couple links. Glad this update fills you with joy and whimsy

[@krazybobby9633]

I feel like it would be nice to have more of the in-game audio for the demonstrations. This is my favorite patch notes analysis otherwise.

[@Lcg_fgc]

Cherish this moment everyone. We’re back.

[@sauceinmyface9302]

Congrats on your graduation, bro, you are the goat of street fighter framey stuff

[@HEHEHE_I_AM_A_MASKED_WARRIA]

I get the change to Denjin moves now being heavy only, but I think it would've been nice to keep it for all strengths so you can apply it to any speed of the projectiles. Instead of locking it to heavy I would've made it so that tapping the button uses the normal version, and holding applies the Denjin effect.

[@FailureOfAName]

I'll hold off calling Ryu great this time around, because we all said he would be strong when the beta came out before Luke and Ken overshadowed him on release. All the changes look good on paper but I'll wait for Ryu to get results first before calling him great

[@Rex-golf_player810]

The 2f SA3 after dp buff not only makes combos easier, but some new combos became physically possible at all

[@CroqueSir]

The active frames change on 2MP is to make it a better drive rush check, it was very prone to whiffing when done too early.

[@alechammond2125]

Bro your content is easily my favorite in terms of FGs. Always so concise and to the point, no KZbin buffer bs. Thank you for all you do Baf!

[@ryhzuo]

Crouching medium punch is now +2 on block if you meaty it from either target combo into Denjin. You can frame trap a regular Denjin hasho cancel from the crouching medium it’ll trade with a light reversal and you’re +28 for a full combo of your choice. If they block the Denjin hasho you’re +3 point blank for another strike throw mix.

[@milosabo3245]

Another patch, another taste of my favorite fighting game channel. Love the vids, been watching since pre-akuma SFV. Keep up the good work!

[@Akashityan]

The stHP advantage buff makes it so it combos into h.hashogeki in punish counter or DR, which I feel is a significant buff since it's the easier of his HPs to land while being the only one that couldn't combo into h.hashogeki previously.

[@azizkash286]

HE IS BACK

[@SDhotline]

Light blade leg also sets up a safe jump

[@toshus2]

Man, bafael really does the best balance update coverage. Condensed to the essential and most important changes, no sensationalism, with a quick verdict at the end. Feels like almost everyone else is trying to waste your time watching a 20 min video instead. Great work my man, keep it up!

[@Gurpwnder]

One thing I find kinda disappointing is that they didn't apply the denjin changes to Ryu's supers. They could have made level 1 and level 2 only use your denjin if you input it with HP so we have more control over Denjin usage.

[@Bafael]

I was thinking about that. In modern you can only do the supers with either the shortcut (no version control) or with medium for lv 2 or heavy for level 3, also no version control.

[@ClarenceSF4]

I watch ads on purpose only for you my man. Mad respect for making all this patch balance videos.

[@TheMoonsmith]

finally the real good patch notes videos are coming

[@EnsembleVGM]

I wish I could read things in Baf’s voice

[@h1tm4n26]

They fixed exactly what they needed to for Ryu. Hats off to the devs for once

[@Megaman231122]

When we finally needed him most He appeared 🥹

[@Catslug]

Hell yeah I love seeing Ryu be a top tier.

[@ChiefKenn]

excited to see how you tackle jamies patch notes; I think people are misunderstanding crucial things about them good and bad

[@EdwardFeinho]

I FUCKING LOVE WHEN BAFAEL MAKES NEW VIDEOS ABOUT GAMES WITH NEW INFORMATION SAID IN A WAY THAT EVEN A DUMB IDIOT LIKE ME CAN PROPERLY UNDERSTAND AND BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Hi baf, have a good day.

[@johnjohnothan5927]

THANK GOD BAF IS HERE TO SAVE US! Good to know you’re busy though, hope school is going great man

[@tapatorta]

HERE WE GO AGAIN BAYBEEEEE

[@AlexanderKeithWhite]

He can also just grounded hit ex fb into sa1 from anywhere

[@fissilewhistle]

We might as well consider Ryu a DLC character.

[@monchete9934]

Damn, they really wanted Ryu to have a fucking shotgun and shit out plus frames

[@koralstrasz]

Light Axe Kick is +42 on hit allowing Ryu meterless safe jump for the first time

[@Windraesa]

what's light axe kick?

[@koralstrasz]

​@@WindraesaQCF/236 LK, Light Donkey Kick

[@Xengard]

i whiffed sooooooooo many lvl3s after ex donkey kick (i didnt even go for back heavy kick because it only worked in certain combos). i think it wont happen anymore

[@adrianwoods2752]

We are so fucking back

[@nanoua27]

@Bafael I've found a weird interaction and don't know why it doesn't connect, after drive rush 6HK on punish counter it leaves at +10 , 5HP will combo but not 4HK, both are 10 frames with the same begining frame data (9 frames of startup with 5 actives frames hitbox from 10th frame trough 14th) can you confirm me i'm not crazy baf ? tested on Guile both standing and crouching. Edit : apparently it only works on corner, must be hitboxes collisions whiffing

[@superbro6413]

WE ARE SO BACK

[@Aggrofool]

More Capcom developers worked on the Ryu buffs than Dragon's Dogma 2

[@PLATINUM_Rook]

I was just wondering if you uploaded Ryu and you just did the moment I checked

[@monk4459]

Bafael is S tier

[@kaiserbts8007]

Ryu players are eating good

[@nioykak5782]

I think he gets a safejump from light donkey now

[@nioykak5782]

Unless he already had that but it comboing from cr.lp is nice

[@a-pathetic]

I love you

[@sigmaklim2532]

YEAHHHH!!!!

[@stilmaho]

7:17 Not a Ryu or modern player but gotta say I don't like this change. These optimisations should be done by the player, especially considering that it isn't some crazy input but just a timing thing.

[@theSHELFables]

Ray You

[@ChiefKenn]

sorry for the extra comment but is there any way at all now to play the old versions of characters? its hard to cross ref some things without doing it by hand

[@Bafael]

I'm not aware of one

[@ChiefKenn]

@@Bafael maybe a console copy played on an offline system but its the only thing i can think of rn; thx for the reply

[@Switcheroo4542]

Playing the demo would do it

[@sc065]

Ryu downplayers about to face their biggest challenge yet, but I know they'll come through

[@chopman5152]

I keep seeing this comment and it doesn't make any sense. The dude just got buffed to the moon, because he was weak. They weren't "downplaying", they were just telling the truth.

[@oby9822]

Did akuma get buffed?

[@Bafael]

??? Akuma got released in this patch. He had nothing to get nerfed or buffed from before this.
