Ryu's Stage
My two Euro-cents
Ryu is one of the most famous CAPCOM character, as famous as Ken and the rivalry
between the two of them. As Chun-Li (and Dan, of course) he seems not to
have a very effective Counter Gem pattern. While the young chinese girl
provides the opponent with Power Gems, Ryu exposes himself to very long
chains and towers which can certainly be a big danger.
After all, the weaknesses of his pattern are just the other face of his
strenghts. In fact, his pattern composed by coloured columns is just his
most powerful weapon, because he is able to quickly block the left and right
sections of the field leaving free space in the middle only, making the
opponent's life quite difficult. Definetely, he is not the best one, neither
the worst one, but the one and only reason for using him for a long time
is that you are the 'if it is a CAPCOM game, then I have to play Ryu' kind
of person.
