Ryu's NEW BUFFS Explained AND Tested!

[@mikermiks5784]

Watched several ryu patch vids and yours was the first with optimal combos already. Very nice

[@Beamthegamer]

Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that. I tried to test out a bunch of combos beforehand to make sure this video comes out right. 🙏

[@AvangionQ]

Donkey Kick blocked is -3, meaning it can't be punished?! That's nuts!!

[@andreazhab]

You can still parry it because of how slow it is

[@LucasCamargo827]

Parry and react with drive impact

[@chalefoo]

@@LucasCamargo827 but it's cheap. Cammy and ken can jabbed out of moves like dragonlash or spin knucle but this fucker doesn't have that because of how his special steps back

[@elfantic]

We winning

[@PanagiotisPolitis-bl9xj]

5:28 it means that, if it gets blocked, you get punished standing instead of crouching so you can get punished by moves that whiff on crouch now

[@Beamthegamer]

Thank you for sharing!

[@BaronShovel]

Gotta love the longer form beam videos 🤘🏾

[@Beamthegamer]

Appreciate the support my man! Comments like this are the reason I keep going 🙏

Ryu's much-needed Steroids

[@Smashburrogames]

They gave my man some swag

[@JoNNyCLOUD171]

Except they weren't much needed. He's overturned in a lot of areas. There is basically no reason to do EX air Tatsu after st.fHK now EX Donkey Kick full combos. There is no world cr.MK needs to jail into a block strong of meter chip. Do you know how often good players DI Ryu's cr.MK? ALMOST NEVER. You risk taking 70%. The same is kind of true for Ryu except Ryu has ALL THE CONTROL. If he doesn't follow up cr.MK and you mash DI he wins. If you do very few if any character can do the same damage Ryu does. Why would you not special cancel? Because Ryu doesn't need to rush a round. He can explode you from near full and he has good pokes and well above average neutral. God forbid he gets a life lead from a random EX fireball that's unreactable. Also do we forgot cr.MK DR exists as well? So should Ryu do that and you mash DI he again does silly damage to you. Ryu did not need that buff. Why should he get arguably the best cr.MK into strong drive chip? Also his heavy donkey kick while weak still had spacing trap perks. You realise it pulls his hurt box back? If you try to take your turn back and he cancels into Donkey Kick on a minus button after pushback you just eat a massive counter hit. He's more than decent before this buff and while I agree he could have had some minor changes he could have used some nerfs. Have you seen how dumb Hashogeki is?

[@IAmSirFox]

We eating good this holiday season

[@TheRah1980]

This is what I was waiting for. Thanks so much Beam. Let’s go

[@Beamthegamer]

Hope you enjoy it my man! 🙏

[@tahaessonnoun9583]

great video as always, glad you included the max combos

[@erikjustiniano2187]

Man! Thanks for these update tips and showing us how good they are.

[@Beamthegamer]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching the video!

[@wrabbit3]

You make it easy with ryu combos and it's hard for me, but if I practice, it will come to me. I want to learn that combos.

[@ScythePodsFGC]

his heavy donkey kick is gonna be so strong now holyyyyyyyyyyy

[@DimitrisAlisafakis-vb7jw]

Used to optimaly take away 65% Now can take 70%. Unless the skill expression is very toe to toe in a game, the snowbally nature will not have difference. The buff is mostly qol and options. Much much appreciated and needed.

[@michaelguse2237]

Been stuck on ken being he's so easy to use but with ken nerfs im looking forward to jumping back on ryu

[@terable3536]

would be awesome if you made an optimal combo and oki combo vid.

[@Apemopo]

they gave us 7k! yaaaay i didnt realise the buffs actually did this much :0

[@chalefoo]

A whole fucking bar for a special move is insane

[@Inaluogh]

Honda season 1 got to do this constantly with NEUTRAL SKIP, didn't even need to be in footsies range. And it's the same deal. You can perfect parry just as you can perfect parry Honda. Or DI if you time it correctly. What you can also do is outright interrupt it since it's 27 frames, as opposed to Honda's headbutt which you can't.

[@alfredomayorquin8423]

The Best Ryu Patch Video yet!! Great Explanation 3 Star Diamond Ryu here😎👌🏻

[@Beamthegamer]

Thank you man! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Keep up the Ryu grind, you got this 🙏💪

[@rodrigoteotonio1512]

Very good. Ryu new meta.

[@itsmesteve1081]

You know ryu players are desperate when they say that a 27 frame move is pretty fast

[@Beamthegamer]

Hahahaha, definitely still very reactable, but I'll take any improvements we can get

[@t1basgaming]

😂More combos to decorate I still don't know even half of the previous ones 😅😂

[@soygarlic]

ex hasho whiff punish combo is actually so nuts

[@erti86]

Love the analysis, thanks Beam!

[@Beamthegamer]

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NemessiS082]

Can you do a video with the optimal combos in the most typical situarions? Thnks!!

[@dudethatsdope227]

Can you please explain how to beat Ryu now with Chun-li after these changes

[@luischeco3009]

Off-topic question. I find myself dropping heavy DK into Light DP. How do I get that more consistently? Like, is it a timing? because buffering doesn't really help me.

[@Beamthegamer]

You might need to practice different timings and see what works best for you. It needs a bit of practice, but if you pay attention to when the opponent starts floating for a moment after the donkey kick hits, that's when you input the DP.

[@TmPGEO923423421]

Can you enable input?

[@dsc5957]

Thanks for the great guide!

[@Beamthegamer]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@thehumblesniper]

For that max combo at the end, did you use a light dp before lvl 3, or medium dp?

[@Beamthegamer]

It’s heavy DP here actually because it’s a juggle

[@thehumblesniper]

@Beamthegamer oh ok. I was under the impression that heavy do wouldn't hit. Timing is still tricky, but with practice, I think I can get these old fingers to pull it off.

[@wrabbit3]

Thank you beam. That was good combos and giving us details. Thank you for showing us. Ryu probably the killer in this game. I don't think anybody can beat ryu with his combos and damage. Killer machine and have a good day.

[@Beamthegamer]

You're welcome! Appreciate your support, have a good day as well!

[@davidzendzian3049]

If you do the ex donkey kick, f hk tatsu, is it still a safejump if the opponent backrolls? Er, will your attack still reach?

[@Beamthegamer]

If your closer to the corner it will still reach, but mid-screen you will be far. It is still safe from an ex DP though.

[@aknarave2292]

Could u make a optimal combo video for lvl 2 and 1 thx a lot

[@KreatorOfDeath1985]

Why does every Ryu patch review call me old bro. Cmon 😂

[@antonsundin2974]

Buffs are nice but i don't really like the fact that they basically killed medium donkey kick, when am i supposed to use this move now? Heavy dk just replaced it in most cases it seems.

[@Beamthegamer]

Yeah I totally get what you're saying here. I think the only use for it now is throwing it out in neutral. It's still faster than Heavy Donkey Kick and hard to punish. I'm probably just gonna do that because the heavy version is pretty react-able

[@doctorfunk801]

Beam, is there anywhere to see the combo count data for all the moves?

[@Beamthegamer]

Hey, the official Street Fighter 6 website has frame data for all characters, but this website is also good ultimateframedata.com/sf6/

[@terable3536]

great vid

[@trev1976]

I must be doing something wrong , i cant combo after the ex hashogeki ? Does it require specific timing or am i using the wrong button ? Back HP ? Thanks

[@Beamthegamer]

You have to be in punish counter and yes you have to use back heavy punch

[@trev1976]

@Beamthegamer OK great , I'll try it out tonight. Thanks 😊

[@rajgus7638]

Might just main ryu now buecaise theyve absolutely gutted cammy over these two patches

[@riansillett2771]

He's 100% getting a damage nerf. Thats ridiculously easy combo for nearly 7000 damage

[@Beamthegamer]

Let's hope not hahahaha

[@name5227]

Hell yeah simulator

[@Rizryuali]

Big change 😮 ryu is legend

[@Rizryuali]

Game changer

[@durant3248]

LFG!!!

[@Gurpwnder]

Great vid! Have you seen the video from Killrex where Ryu can now get DR 2MK off HK Donkey Kick midscreen? For reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaazZYmhiaaEpKc

[@Beamthegamer]

Thank you! I have seen this combo on Twitter and it's really cool!

[@flare1547]

Creo que la High Donkey kick tiene un poco de muerte cerebral xd me gustan los buffs pero ese en particular me preocupa, no quiero que Ryu se convierta en un personaje para tontos

[@Beamthegamer]

Entiendo lo que estás diciendo, pero como todavía reacciona, puedes contrarrestarlo. Entonces no es completamente muerte cerebral jajajaja

[@flare1547]

@Beamthegamer claramente es un buff importante para Ryu y me gusta que ahora sea más rápido para el neutral y los combos, pero el impacto que tiene en la barra de drive del rival es absurdo, mi miedo es que lo óptimo sea hacer spam del mismo ataque para dejar en burnout al rival

[@soygarlic]

beamthegoat for this 🙏

[@Beamthegamer]

You're the goat for supporting! 🙏

[@TheEFerCor]

I was looking forward to this 🫡
