Ryu Appreciaton Post

I play some Ryu and have played a lot more against him recently since he got patched up. I wouldn't put him in S tier since he lacks the oki given he has to use denjin charge often on knockdown, but his buffs elevate him to somewhere in A tier now IMO.

He has several great meaty/safe options and can frame trap very well, above average range on C.mk which is critical in this game and huge, effortless damage when he connects.

He is no longer the poster child for the average character of the game, and he's closed the gap on the upper shotos a lot, even if he still isn't quite as strong as Ken or Luke.

I'm happy this icon is way better now, well done Capcom!
