Every time someone pronounces Ryu's name as "Raiyoo", a Dragonpunch gets another startup frame.

The true evil is not knowing how to pronounce "Ryu" in current year. XP

I do love when goofy, otherwise uninteresting mid-tier characters have that one, ONE quirk about them that makes you have to rethink a core system and allows for an unexpected strength. Evil Ryu being able to basically stagger from anywhere on screen while entering "Kick people's ass real good" mode definitely fits that bill.

There was nothing cooler than when I walked into the arcade and when I go my turn at Street Fighter Alpha, I went to random select and got Akuma. The crowd of about 15 people were all like, "OHHHHHH!!!!", with more oohs and aahs to follow at all his different supers and his juggle combos, dive kick and demon flip.

Ryeyou and evil Ryeyou sounds like a great shoto, hope they bring him back in SF6

One of the notable differences E.ryu has is his red fireball, unlike ryu or akuma where its on a different input, for E.ryu his normal fireball starts as a red fireball for the first few frames which knocks down and does a lot of stun (i think it stuns ryu in 3 fireballs). You see the fireball change from red to purple if you shoot it from range.<br>The red fireball should in theory connect on most characters where the dp doesnt work as you showed.

I love that older games like this still have developing metas. That's a kind of magic you can't get when the entire community shuffles over to the newest release very couple of years
