Standing Heavy Punch | Ryu Road to Master (Street Fighter 6)

[@wadewade3790]

Ryu’s s.HP is so funny because he just walks up to you while maintaining constant eye contact and fully extends his arm to Strike you square in the nose.

[@KittSpiken]

hard out here in these street

[@matrix3509]

"Imma put my fist out here, and if you run into it, that's on you."

[@inorris609]

😂I actually laughed hard enough to clear out my congestion 😂. You did it again Standing heavy punch 🤜🏼

[@Reyokultsia]

Hit 'em with that Goku vs. Jace

[@huxleyable]

Ryu is just an honest guy who makes his emotions clear and simple to understand

[@achair7958]

Damn he wasn't kidding about the whole "this fist is everything to me" thing

[@Giraffinator]

"It's not called Streets Fighter" speaks to me in a way that it really shouldn't.

[@junkyardsoul3757]

Ryu when anybody gets within a 5 foot radius of him: >Deploys heavy punch >"An opening!!!"

[@jerry3115]

as someone who plays Ryu, I'm watching this and thinking "wait, I should hit heavy punch way more"

[@pktrigger2873]

mp and mk are to addicting.

[@KittSpiken]

it's true

[@patricklorran1960]

This happened to me with chun li, once sajam showed how broken her forw MP was I mauled ppl with pokes

[@RBNinja]

I thought I already pressed HP with Ryu plenty. But never thought to center my whole offense around it. But I am inspired.

[@GreenBro11]

This is the most fair and balanced climb to master in SF6 history.

[@TortoiseMaximus]

This is the most standing and heavy punch to master in SF6 history.

[@ADxTygon]

Fair and honest footsies by mr honest footsies himself

[@sundevil34]

Ethical heavy punches.

[@reiikyuu]

A downright fierce climb to master

[@Slimbound]

Yes finally!!!! Ryu from Streets!

[@poepertist]

from street!

[@samedwards3186]

I felt for that first AKI player so much lmao, could literally pick out the moments where they completely forgot a combo or messed up a slide cancel because it's *exactly* what I've been doing since she came out

[@JS-zz9lg]

We'll get there, it's month two by the time that's consistent tho lol

[@MDToboggan]

Thank you for pointing out how strong Ryu's stand HP is. It never gets talked about because Ken has the same button with 1 less frame of recovery and more reward, even still that button is still one of the most mindless buttons in the game, Ryu just still sadly suffers from the Ken does it better problem even with his strongest tools.

[@hockey1973]

Ryu does have one advantage is that his St. HP combo's from Cr. MK-> drive rush where Ken's doesn't. This is why every time I hear someone online whine about Ken's 5 AcTiVe FrAmEs I just sorta roll my eyes because Ryu's . . .also has 5 active frames. . .

[@ZenPaladin]

Both these guys ordered extra meat on their meaties.@@hockey1973

[@markmelancon2914]

Ryu Simpson always did say, "Good old Standing Heavy Punch. Nothing beats that."

[@erichurtado4938]

My favorite part from each Road to Master is the inevitable moment where Chat commits to something incredibly stupid and Sajam is over it.

[@patricklorran1960]

I love when he stuns the opponent, builds charge and just do: J heavy punch, S heavy punch, B heavy punch into heavy punch shoryuken

[@funfactswithduckbred4407]

Ryu reminds me of the funniest martial arts advice i ever received. "There is an off button located behind your opponents nose, just perss it."

[@brian_cream]

When i first watched this stream i couldn't help but think "damn it's just that simple huh" i never felt more like a fool in my life.

[@Fohnzii]

Fundamentals >>>>>>>>>>>

[@TacticalOmelette]

Respect on waiting for that AFK Luke to get back instead of whaling on him for a free win, certified wholesome Sajam moment

[@TortoiseMaximus]

I like how he always denjin charges during stun but doesn't actually use it in the combo

[@brian_cream]

I've been extensively labbing ryu's stun combos and i haven't found a combo where denjin doesn't add damage with optimal routing. It makes it extra funny.

[@BadmanOfBanterbury]

The damage difference between his corner combos with/without using the denjin charge isn't all that much. Strategically, it's more often better to have that charge ready to go after the combo, rather than spending it, because it's such a good conversion/pressure/zoning tool.

[@brian_cream]

@@BadmanOfBanterbury some combos do like 500 more damage which is a lot imo. Idk i think it's worth it sometimes.

[@BadmanOfBanterbury]

@@brian_cream We just made the same point. It's context dependent, and player strategy dependent. Both decisions are viable.

[@brian_cream]

@@BadmanOfBanterbury you're so right. Bless you for being so reasonable.

[@lukezane7952]

1:20:37 “Chun li is one of the best characters in the game cause her buttons are so good” The chun the proceeds to hit every single good button as if to prove his point

[@amememachine8974]

Standing heavy punch to master, been a long time coming

[@turngold6880]

that first guile’s ex-flash kicks per second reached record heights. He should be studied in a lab

[@azarel7]

The only other player that I saw that use heavy punch so much was Daigo, and that was entertaining for the brief time that he used Ryu. Edit: Actually rewatching Justin Wong's Modern Ryu from about 1 month prior to this vid, i realised he also used a ton of St.HP. Great minds really do think alike.

[@walterburdzy5408]

If my silver experience has taught me anything about playing Ryu, it's that nothing beats standing heavy punch into shoryuken

[@beatrix-persephone]

Oh, you're a Fierce Punch fan now?

[@brad_soup]

Ryu's theme in this game feels like Rumbleverse music. I miss Rumbleverse :'(

[@yannilibbes8219]

36:20 the sneak diss to dsp was beautiful. love a crossover episode

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

The spirit of Strive Season 1 Sol far slash rides again.

[@TheSyliman]

Good to see Sajam playing Henry Heavypunch

[@MusicoftheDamned]

I'm only at the beginning, but damn, now I'm going to have a hard time not seeing Ryu as stoned in his intro. (Also shoutout to the alias "Pablo Escobear" for that Gief player.)

[@SuperTurboPOP]

Sajam is so consistent, it really makes me want to get into fighting games

[@RIPLOUDOG]

this is the 3rd character im playing and i started today and this is the perfect guide lfggg

[@aaronsandoval2910]

I’ve watched this like 4 times and “I’m fucking pulling up brother” gets me every time 😂

[@sergioalvarez5193]

If you think about it, his DI kinda looks like a heavy punch

[@Stringblazer]

We've found Ryu's million dollar move

[@mikejonez2237]

It’s funny to me to see this because when I first bought this, my old gaming friend who used to play fighters and is very good said the same thing about that punch. He used it very similarly as well 😂 even gave me a good fight after I’d been playing it a few days before he’d even tried.

[@Blustride]

Damn he’s heavy punching

[@vintageeyepatches1605]

He's not gonna sugarcoat it

[@horseradish7585]

I really do need to heavy punch way more. The amount of times I get drive impacted from ending my strings with hadoukens is holding me back.

[@sleepofgc]

You get stand HP after punish counter HK. Very good for his punishes.

[@SerpenSquamata]

I've been waiting for this one. I need to work on getting better with Ryu.

[@HatsonFGC]

It's funny because players keep complaining about Ken 5HP when Ryu's is the exact same, in fact Ryu's has a better hitbox iirc. Then again, Lily and Jamie are also considered low tier while still possessing some very broken buttons. Lily having the best pokes and hitboxes in the game. But that's not really what matters in the current meta.

[@christophersmith5996]

I swear sajam has extra 1ft of reach on his heavy punch mine feel like t-rex arms

[@elfpi55-bigB0O85]

spacing.

[@ryhzuo]

Anytime I play someone who has better footsies than me this is how I feel. Just goes to show how solid Sajam’s fundamentals are

[@PorkBelly-]

TheSaltTrader deserved all the punishment

[@samuraileo1]

I can’t believe Sajam dropped every character to play Ryu

[@FunnyLariat]

Considering I'm climbing through Diamond pretty easily as Ryu compared to any other character, I'm starting to think standing fierce is the best move in the game Thanks for the tech

[@iveetrainer1439]

I learnt so much about Ryu in just the first 10 minutes. I did not realize just how good s.HP was and the fact that it just turns into Sol f.S once your opponent is in burn out lmao. Great job on the video

[@crypticTmesis]

The thumbnail had me dying before I even started to watch the video.

[@sergioalvarez5193]

"That's a supertf combo" I'm crying

[@RMBlind]

stand HP being raw confirmable is so good and I feel like people don't abuse that enough

[@CosmosCopilot]

Name probably should've been Freddy Fierce

[@war_n_gore]

Hell yeah ! It's nice to see the Jam again,I actually just bought sf6 Friday and spend my whole weekend off playing it😂 literally just put the fightsitck down and see you uploaded a video! What timing 😂

[@Apemopo]

19:36 lmao i didnt even know gief still had that move! xD

[@Apemopo]

38:55 wtf guile gave him da finger!!

[@legefy]

You can feelthe Sol experience seeping through

[@El-Burrito]

I see you pressing standing heavy punch 5 times in a row on round start, I'm learning

[@kaemonbonet4931]

He really came so far since sf2 now we must defeat his h.p. to stand a chance!

[@erin_rose0]

it's so crazy you beat a 37k LP master during placement and the game still only can put you in D1

[@curiosityunbound5460]

There is an upper and lower limit where you can place depending on other characters and the questionnaire you fill out the first time you enter rank. D1 is literally the highest you can go.

[@erin_rose0]

@@curiosityunbound5460 so what's wild actually is the initial comment already says i knew that

[@chimpmasterflex]

Let's go Ryun Reynolds.

[@KittSpiken]

Hard out here in these street

[@FireandIceMage]

Big GGs! The indepth explanations on your play really helps not only help me understand how to beat certain playstyles strategies but insights on improving my play as well. I’ll be sure to work on my heavy punches. 🫡

[@cylondorado4582]

Damn, he's Swingin'.

[@nspade9252]

I love every time he takes the chance for a guranteed Denjin and then doesn't use it. Unironically. It makes me so happy and I don't know why

[@NamelessThun]

the only appropriate name for this video

[@Wakaraneeyo]

15:45 yeah me I always thought medium kick was better cuz it kept going under stuff

[@Shiratto]

40:12 - 40:24 was straight heat

[@poepertist]

damn he swangin that thang

[@KittSpiken]

Trading in Pauly Pierce for that umami stand fierce

[@5milemacc737]

As a Ken player I like to mash HP when I use Ryu 😂 it feels good af in this game.

[@junkyardsoul3757]

"Right there!"

[@junkyardsoul3757]

"An opening!"

[@jennyinutil2018]

When standing HP forced stand I lost it

[@ryhzuo]

Find a button and press it, it really is just that simple huh. 31:10 imagine thinking you need to know optimal combos for characters when you can just standing heavy punch.

[@ziggyq6712]

The guile player “TheSaltTrader” always one and done on me, idk what I did to make him hate me so much. Doesn’t matter who wins. Is it because I play Manon?? I just wanna run the set

[@Apemopo]

1:51:15 he def has the Ryu talk down. way to get into character!

[@beekerboxjp]

I was the luke and i was so confused at why there was a new ryu gameplan that i had not seen

[@PainasaurusRex]

When Justin Wong beats players with only one button its degenerate, when Sajam beats people by only pressing HP its called footsies

[@thuggles42]

handsies

[@carbide4458]

As a Ryu main in Silver... I should REALLY use HP more

[@doublevendetta]

@Sajam 15:45 literally, yes, that was my EXACT thought about three minutes prior as I'm watching this. 😂

[@ReddRambler]

Plot twist: Ryu was actually a Samurai Shodown character this whole time

[@Daikuro1]

After watching this I tried to incorporate lots of HP in my Ryu play with only moderate success. Clearly, I have much to learn before I master the way of the Heavy Punch.

[@TehDarkPrince]

Was hoping for Huell Doken.

[@Stammered]

Huh... I should hit heavy punch way more

[@facelesshalo5174]

Serious question: Why do so few Ken/Ryu's on streams/youtube not Tatsu over the fireballs?

[@paletapayasofan]

It’s really not as reliable as an answer in this game compared to sfv. Way harder to do it on reaction and the consequence for fucking it up is dire

[@khhnator]

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

All ryus are stoners or drug addicts if you play this game and you're not sober you probably play him. Him as a character was meant to appeal to the Stoner Archetype.

[@DaviddeBergerac]

Well shit, I should pick up Ryu then

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

He likes going on walks in shit sandals, he's a "world warrior", he's always zening out outside, he thinks he can control electricity.

[@TortoiseMaximus]

Most calm Ryu player

[@joncliffmckinley5868]

lol nah, fuck shotos bro

[@elfpi55-bigB0O85]

I should try that lmao

[@longschlongjohnson6470]

what the hell is a supertf combo haha

[@ninjako6255]

When I did my placement matches I won 7 or 6 out of 10 and it showed as if I was Platinum 5 stars but then placed me at Platinum 1. Does anyone know what that was? Thank you!

[@misterburns103]

SkullCrackRyu ❤

[@scootzthelegend7358]

Jeez. Sajam said "So um, like, I'm the best Ryu player of all time, and at that moment I received a discord notification and it said "Can confirm." So. I guess Sajam is the best Ryu of all time. It's been confirmed. 😂🎉

[@murphthasmurf5923]

Wow, this is just how I play ken

[@GSen45]

Can we get a set of sajam vs brian_f first to 10?

[@dry90125]

Idk why people say they need to add Balrog into SF6, Ryu’s HP is right there

[@Gleapgoogleplusisgone]

For sure he did JP second to last because he knew chat was going to piss him off and ryu last to wash the salt off.

[@seokkyunhong8812]

Sajam comedy hour as he's the only one in the club, as all Ryu players are.

[@AmbientFire]

Imagine ragequitting and seeing your CFN Id on this stream.

[@hotdogboy8475]

Not to be a complainer but am I the only one who’s max picture quality is 360p?

[@TortoiseMaximus]

This happens because KZbin takes a long time to upload the higher resolution of long videos when it was uploaded recently

[@Nooctae]

Sajam keeps getting mad at AKI players for missing their jump in, which was a constant problem for himself when playing her.

[@Vulgar_Worlock]

Every time s.HP connected I got a little angrier.
