Cross Counter Guide to Ryu featuring Air (with Mike Ross) - Super Street Fighter 4 Tutorial

[darkdiablo888]

I watched the whole thing. That last advanced setups with the ex tatsumaki reset is just disgustingly sick lol.

[Hypershiin]

You watch this video, you say alright that's a great SF player I'm gonna learn a lot but THEN you go watch THIS video watch?v=XIpdgmN9WV8&feature=re­lated and you regret having watched this one :D

[Lukeiru]

at 51:00 ryu's high kick moves his front leg away so that Bison's low whiffs thus ending Bisons pressure string. Being a Tekken player, I got that right away.

[maximusditzel]

so much appreciated

[manuelito1233]

I need this.

[TheJimlombris]

Being lonely makes you powerful... Lesson learn! :D

[1shaughness2]

I would pay to see a tokido guide for akuma

[jRyda559]

@1shaughness2 they are making one for free, should be coming out soon

[1shaughness2]

@jRyda559 Really??? When did you here about this???

[jRyda559]

@1shaughness2 last week on crosscounter live

[mapleleafs294]

now I know what to do against the offical bison pressure.

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

so at some point of a very close s.mk xx fireball fadc cr.mp, cr.fp xx ex tatsu

the tatsu will crossup on the ground wtf

[NoDopeNoHopeMate]

Air you are a legend. Sticking with Ryu through thick and thin when others went for the easier option. Thanks a ton for uploading this vid I think a lot of us can learn from this video regardless of what character we play.

[jRyda559]

@NoDopeNoHopeMate he used yang

[850iStyle]

very helpful guide

[Sufr1r]

Should I watch this stuff or is it outdated after AE 2012?

[1shaughness2]

@Sufr1r It's still helpful because on the whole the matchups haven't changed that much. But some specific stuff won't work

[jRyda559]

@Sufr1r nah after the patch ryu went almost back to normal.

[uchihafire12]

Cross Counter Guide to Guy featuring Kiryu. Make that happen.

[uchihafire12]

Great Tutorial. I'm getting better with Ryu. Thanks Air.

[KingofPho75]

wait what is the point with the dvd then

[Kelohmello]

Really well done. I only sort of play Ryu, but this is giving me ideas to apply to other characters.

[lloydangelo22]

the best tutorial on crosscounter... i dont like the tutorial 101 on yun on Xian

it doesnt have chapter by chapter... i really love this video coz my main is ryu

haha now i know how to tech trow

[sertaliozer1]

Lol, i love how Mike Ross is acting like a noob here. For those who are new to SF. The black dude is a beast with Honda.

[TheRegalRolston]

AH I HATE THAT SONG!!!

[2ek1u55]

Clearly Daigo is the best Ryu player....

[ForstaSvenskenIRymdn]

PLEAAAAAAAAAASE get Vryu to do a guide for makoto! i would buy the dvd 5000 times

[BannedFromAllBars]

does this work with evil ryu

[boppacesagain08]

I was following until it got to the advanced option select stuff, and after that point I'm pretty sure everything was black magic.

[sepgamer]

THANK YOU AIR! My Ryu is getting better now with these tips!

[sepgamer]

best use of my time

[yeomond]

never seen an air tatsu into an ultra in the corner before. seriously why isnt that combo popular. MIND BLOWN AGAIN

[Dannypnny]

Mind BLOWN!

[robbiepeters512]

This vid is a favorite on Athens

[dudee624]

"The content owner has not made this video available on mobile"

Damn it..

[BlackCatJaja]

... I had no idea that the training stage was made for measuring distance... TO THE LAB!!!

[zzdeuszz]

sick reset at the end, I wonder if it's a bug because no one is ever gonna block that. I can only thumb up this video , watched it until the end.

[DJEvilYun]

is air from the vesperarcade crew?

[hitjohnyup]

EX Hadouken has five frames less recovery time.

[NlGGERDICK]

k i can't sit through an hour and a half of a nigger and a gook talking about doing combos. can someone summarize the video for me?

[kakkarot25]

@NlGGERDICK boobies. big floppy moobs

[DemonFlame4]

Does Mike Ross not really know the game and just plays and does well?

[4chanisDead]

@DemonFlame4 Sort of. He's said himself he's really not knowledgeable on frame data like a lot of pros are, however through experience he knows what works and what doesn't and has established himself as a good player.

[DemonFlame4]

@4chanisDead It's good to know that there are professionals that know the game like he does. It means that I don't have to bother myself with frame data of each character and matchup if I ever want to progress.

[TankP0wnz]

Abel Tutorial - Juicebox

[maman89]

Gold. Pure solid street fighter gold.

[AN0TH3RK1d]

i got lost at the option select

[AN0TH3RK1d]

whaaaaa?!

[BEBERLE3]

first i used my strategy for ryu and won 50/50 of my matches

second i tried air's style and won almost every one of my matches. i got ranked with ryu to 1,000

third i tried this guy named jyobin's style and i lost mostly everyone one of my matches and then was ranked to 4,300.

fourth, i went back to air's style and became ranked higher.

this is legit stuff here. im 13.

[halfw1ng]

They should have made a video of Daigo using ryu instead.

[Mrrrch1nkys]

this is freaking gold

[DJEvilYun]

Daigo Ryu!

[uchihafire12]

Watching this really helped me improved my skills with Ryu. This information is really helpful. I got more better with Ryu now. Thank You Air.

[RoGraves2012]

DO MORE OF THESE!!!!!!!

[b7ray32]

more than just a game??? wow these people take this GAME way too serious... you all actually think you are really fighting someone lmao

[godofm3tal]

The host doesnt know what the grid lines in the training room are for, and hes wondering why Daigo stomps him?

[IslamIstheWayforMe]

@godofm3tal

lol ur kinda buggin

[sunndaihann]

He just can't NOT mention Daigo . He's a fan 

[Oyjah]

This is some of the best i have ever seen in terms of production quality, questions and explaination... so well done. GOOD JOB!

[mikiarca]

Did capcom remove the "air reset" ? I'm trying it right now and I can't get the reset

[NintyOmzz]

@mikiarca Yes, because they "fixed" ex tatsu dropping mid combo so yeah.

[infiltr8]

i dont even main ryu and i found this tutorial very useful

[EpicNoobMan]

So i went from a 3500 Bp Ryu to a 6000Bp....Awesome Guide

[Mateo151]

wow thanks very much

[DocCeaser]

Why cant they forward dash if you throw a fullscreen fireball?

[Matti126]

Dudley Guide could be really interesting.

[BradRy2]

Is there a written guide I can read that has pictures?

[DavidGodd]

fuck.

[7Doan]

Cross Counter Guide to Akuma featuring Tokido? please make it happen :)

[oSaturos]

@7Doan Don't need a guide for Akuma, just learn his setups after a sweep.

[Singe125]

@7Doan They're doing it :)

[tzeherng89]

he probably got a short tongue :D

[TheRocky9147]

i have problems against yun

tricks please :D

[rocknflip66]

air has a ryu hair cut

[endoes07]

just aquick question: Is it possible to safe jump against everyone as long as you know the different timing?

[Duo11]

@endoes07 In general its not possible to do a safe jump against any character with an invincible move that comes out in 3 frames (or less). This means Ryu, Ken and Akuma are immune to MOST safe jump setups. This is because if you do an attack in the air, there are 2 frames of landing recovery (plus 1 frame is needed for the safe jump to hit)

There are a few very specific setups which will allow you to safe jump a 3 frame reversal but they aren't very useful because they don't lead into anything

[kurtiswithak]

air is so sick 

[TheRealDVO]

No love on this video's theme song? Who is this? I like it!

[latandafour]

Probably the most useful video I've seen on youtube. Great job guys, keep it up.

[Asscheex]

Mike "Rock and Paper action" Ross

[RASHED786]

A question for you ryu players out there. In the advanced tactics section (very end), Air does a combo on sim:

j.fp, c.mp xx fireball fadc c.mp, c.fp xx ex tatsu, Ultra

for some reason this combo resets which results in huge damage. Where is the reset taking place and how?

[Quasarcool]

@RASHED786 the reset takes place in the ex tatsu

[RASHED786]

@Quasarcool thats an awesome reset. I dont know if that reset only happens when used in that exact combo or whether its possible with other combo's.

[Quasarcool]

@RASHED786 Probably possible with other combos but you have to be really close when you do the ex tatsu.

[wylde92]

This guide stills so damn useful for AE , fucking great !!

[liquidpersuasion]

how does a top player like mike ross get to where he is without knowing basic stuff like the grids and fireballs in footsies? or is he trolling?

[sablesoul]

@liquidpersuasion

Generally, Mike Ross is this kind of instinctive player who just like big hits, big combos. Not only that but E.Honda's spacing is real general.

[RASHED786]

@liquidpersuasion I think he's trolling.  He's trying to ask the questions a beginner would ask Air, otherwise this guide will only be useful to advanced players. I love this guide on Ryu.

[OvenmitOfSweden]

Oh god, I want to play Street Fighter now.

[TechHits]

This video is getting old, but thanks for putting this out.

[rabbitmickey82]

all cramp just play SSF for 10 years and you dont need those lines

[slapcompany]

Could you be emotionally detached at work and not know it? Sure, if you’re detached. There’s a party in your head and you’re not invited. slapCompany

[TheEliCota]

Thumbs up for a Dan guide.

[OpForza]

Good guide

[bartdude82]

I'm sorry but I can't understand what air's saying. i'm such a bitch

[prettyboyboo6901]

watching this and EVO 2011 rite now!! PSN: DoubleR_Boss

[Thealmostguy]

1 hr 7 mins.

[HueyFreeman3000]

This video is useful REGARDLESS if you played Ryu or not. Incredible info in this here tutorial.

One of the best I've ever seen.

Good stuff Air and Mike Ross. Good stuff indeed.

[FreidenkerDeluxe]

1:25:13 That is the shit.

[EtherSword]

Mike "mind = blown" Ross.

[knowledge561]

Wow. I don't even play Ryu and this I learned so much from this video. Best sf vid I seen in a while.

[ACTUALLYrussell]

mike ross beat air after this guide LOL in a tournament!

[poetry42]

@ACTUALLYrussell It was before this not after and it was back when E Honda was a higher tier.

[nbasuperstar23]

mike ross is so pretty

[Ultima008]

The advice to use jab fireball instead of fierce fireballs is the best thing in this video. Amazing how something so simple improved my Ryu a crapload.

[DxHuman]

24:28

Mike Ross makes noob comment, Air goes "seriously?"

[Quartzzzz]

caramelldansenland

[IMrRainMan]

im a beginner to sf4 and i am a skilled player so i pick up games fast same with sf dont get me wrong im still a big noob and i use ryu now to to learn the basics of the game but there is one problem i cant win from cammy's in AE so anyone have tips on beating cammy' s pleas it would make my learn curve much easier :)

[neaiancu]

@IMrRainMan stop jumping :D

[IMrRainMan]

@neaiancu i dont jump iv past that noob stage :)

[richlor92]

@IMrRainMan im only a casual st4 player but i play as ryu sometimes and one of the things i've noticing from getting my butt whooped by cammy is don't even bother throwing hadokens with her its very easy for her to avoid it do not fighter her at mid-rage she will beat you

[lordteejay89]

@IMrRainMan Block more, and learn to punish unsafe things. blocking cross ups is huge. and learn to EX FADC from SRK into ultra ASAP. Put together quick easy punishes for wiffed/blocked cannon spikes (or whatever her DP is called) like Standing FiercexxFierce Shoryu. And crouch tech is good but don't just mash it.

[JacopeX]

I better see good Ryu players online now that this tutorial can be watched for free by anyone. Getting tired of Scrubby Ryus. -_-

[r0bz0rly]

fucking amazing. now it's nearly 4:30am and i should sleep. thanks air, mike and cross counter :)

[jblaze10topspin]

This is why Street Fighter is more than just a game.

[theInconvience]

@jblaze10topspin I love you for this comment, street fighter has become more than a game, it's a full blown cult-followed experience!

[ChaosxPaladin]

Thumbs up if you didn't know the background in Training mode was used for measuring spacing.

[Winterhe4rt]

@ChaosxPaladin are you serious? ^^



[ChaosxPaladin]

@Winterhe4rt LOL When I first started out with SFIV I didn't know, cause I played games like Tekken and Blazblue, which didn't have that during training mode.

[TheBlackDragon777x]

in SUPER i got my ryu to around 8000 bp and stopped playing but after watching this i decided to go back to ryu

[dragon4249]

anyone realise mike ross is wearing a black shirt inside a white hoodie while air is the opposite?

[Yannak]

Where's the tutorial that explains when you lose with your best character you pick Yang and get your face kicked in?

[silentboxer1989]

Can you guys keep doing vids like this please? It was great to get some history on the player and some depth into his mindset of playing, and especially how he picked his character cause sometimes I want to know why did Mike Ross choose honda?

[albeezysobeast]

i watched this vid and i still suck with ryu :[

[CoopZillaTron]

Wait, a reset combo...wh-whut? o_O

[TheGreatXavier]

@CoopZillaTron I KNOOOOW that ex tatsu always intrigued me in the way it worked,i KNEW something could be done with it

[OverKiiiillll]

i dont get what short cut DP is and how to do it. air said it was df, up, and then df? i know that you use it to counter cross-ups but i dont understand HOW to do it.

[TheGlowingKnight]

@OverKiiiillll

Hold the stick or thumbstick down fowards (inbetween down and fowards) like a quarter or diagonal position. From there, move it directly down, then down-fowards/diagonal/quarter again - then press a punch button

it just allows ryu to do the shoryuken while crouched - thats all. Its quicker too

[OverKiiiillll]

@TheGlowingKnight oh i know how to do that. i just dont know how he punishes the crossup like that. i tested it myself and doing df, d, df motion, ryu will DP in the direction he is facing during the crossup. but when i hold db and he jumps in for the crossup, THEN i slide the stick over to df, d, df and the DP actually comes out on the otherside during the crossup

[axiiomXD]

@OverKiiiillll The shortcut is Down Forward, Forward, Down Forward, Punch. You never hit Up

[OverKiiiillll]

air's story of how he started sf is funny XD.

[guylee]

mike ross looks high as fuck here

[Gam3Attack]

No 1080p )=

[c41v1nch4ng]

this is hilarious and refreshing, but yun is OP

[RRReviews]

Wow, that has to be the sickest guide to Ryu I've ever seen. I don't even play Ryu (i play rog), but I still found things i could implement into my game and watch out for in a match

[DiscoCokkroach]

24:27 LOL at the awkward pause.

[RamSama]

@DiscoCokkroach

hahaha I loved that too, they paused the music xD

[OwNaGeDz]

this video is EPIC keep up the good works guys and keep it coming :D some really nice godlike skilled showned here by 1 of the best ryu in the world

[xouleikha]

I really hope Mike didn't really think the lines in the Training Stage were just for decoration. :S

[SuperFighterCody]

Just hit 3000pp on my main account with Ryu :)

[adlalawi]

Why does Air do a half-circle forward instead of a quarter-circle forward when he does a fireball?

[DoctorMeth]

@adlalawi I'm guessing (cause I started doing the same thing after much aggrivation) if you're moving forward, then do fireball motion without stopping, it'll do a shoryuken instead. Half circle and it prevents the SRK.

[11gonzaleze]

@adlalawi late response but as a ryu player I noticed that while zoning (moving back and forth constantly) ur opponent if you happen to connect cr.mk and try the fireball option select, while moving forward, a shoruyken comes out that rarely connects and leaves u wide open. By doing half circles the fire ball will always come out instead of the DP. But it must be out habit now.

[EjayCV]

Air is definitely a great player, awesome video

[midnightthunderboy4]

OMFG!! THIS IS SOME SMART STUFF!! Soo deep!! and thats not what she said

[MorelloStyle]

This is the greatest video on Youtube

[alefillman]

goddamn!! thanks for making this, much appreciative!

[Demoniq]

Wow... mind=blown

[aznracerboi2k5]

me no speaky ingles

[TehPottedPlant]

At 1:19:33, I think Mike Ross just had an epiphany.

[TheSoufiane]

Wow Awesome information

My mind = Blown, SF is so fucking deep and I am coming from Tekken,
