This video shows how you can beat Ryu playing with Ken on Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. Unlike common sense or some “experts” say, Ryu isn’t a really hard adversary on this game.

The video was recorded, played and edited by your Gaming Room partners on the Street Fighter II’: Champion Edition arcade’s version, on it’s hardest difficulty and facing Ryu as the last opponent, before Balrog.

If you jump over him indiscriminately, you may really take a Shoryuken asĀ  a counter. Then, get used with his Hadoken timing, apply him a flying kick and then a crouching kick (both strong), or any other move of your preference. Learn the good distance and timing to jump over him. It’s not hard, but if you jump too close to him, he may grab and throw you.

Usually, at the end of the match, he changes his behavior and stops throwing Hadokens to keep doing random Shoryukens. Then, keep a safe distance and counter him with either a Shoryuken or just grab and throw him, because he gets very vulnerable when he misses this move.

It is not as usual but, also on the end of the match, he sometimes attacks with Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyakus. If he does that, just crouch and hit the strong punch when he passes over you.

It’s kinda tricky to compete with Hadokens with Ryu or win rounds with perfects, because he executes this very quickly. If you aren’t really used with him, just make the basic strategy we just taught and you will do fine.
