He had "super fireball even when regular fireball was on the screen" in vanilla sf4 and it was extremely broken in that game. Didn't think I'd ever see them try it again on purpose

@@Bafael I hope they keep it, it's cool and fireballs don't seem nearly as powerful as they were in 4.

Ryu 5HP punish counter now combos into Heavy Hashogeki without denjin charge. he now gets massive damage in whiff punishes or punishes in general with this button

I dont even play SF6, but will still watch and look forward to more of these breakdowns

Noticed you used the word "amusing" to describe a couple links. Glad this update fills you with joy and whimsy

Something about being read patch notes to by Baf just feels so right.

the light donkey kick changes means now the knockdown after landing it is +42, which gives ryu an automatic safe jump in the corner. should make him more threatening in the corner. great vid btw

Worth noting the LVL 1 super change means Ryu can easily react to his EX fireball blowing through an opponent's non-EX and confirm it into super from pretty much anywhere on the screen.

I'm ripping everyone but aki open with this buff rn it's actually cracked

It's weird how Ryu had some obvious weirdness with some of his tools, and clearly the devs knew since they immediately fixed a lot of them here.

I think they did not know the extent of his much it would cockblock him until 1 year later

Ryu got majorly buffed this patch. Very happy to see. Keeping denjin when using fireballs is very important imo.

I think it's also worth mentioning the universal change that pressing HP + HK during the cancel window won't cause a TC to come out. It's a great qol change, since cancelling 5HP too late into DI would previously cause you to eat a punish counter since the TC has a longer cancel window, and even a 1HP+HK input would come out as the TC.

These changes sound really nice, not only to make Ryu stronger but also just to make him more fun to play. Even if he gets outclassed by Akuma and other shotos his options no longer feel disappointing (which was my main issue with him on release), specially with how denjin charge works now.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Ryu actually was the best shoto rn because unlike Ken and Luke he actually gets meterless strike throw from light chains. The pushback buffs to his LPs means he's close enough to walk meaty throw after canceling into L.Tatsu while Ken and Luke need to DR to get meaty throw. That combined with routing buffs that put his average damage on par or better than the others, Ryu is looking extremely threatening.

I've never understood why they gave him two target combo that doesn't really do much and a buff special he has to use in neutral. My only wish from the patch was to have TC lead to a free charge and they not only gave me that, they buffed Ryu a whole lot. This is amazing to look at.

@Jackrost01

Ай бұрын

​@@chipslight738maybe they thought that it will be too powerful to give him Akuma's buff(red fire ball). They thought that you need to sacrifice pressure to gain buff, but I still don't get why they don't let you store it

Simple and to the point visual patch notes are back.

I always get so excited for Baf's posts. Nobody is more reliable than you Baf. All these years and your still the most consistent when it comes to patch notes

They buffed him all around but it seems like they want his fireball game to be his standout feature. With the denjin and hitstun changes, there's a lot of ranges where you can do light fireball > EX denjin fireball > EX fireball > SA1. If you land on a fireball and Ryu has denjin + drive, he actually has tons of options. Even spaced light fireball > EX denjin fireball > drive rush gives him some pretty silly conversions for a normal projectile

Shinku being 7 frames also hugely buffs Ryu's routing into it. You used to have to use Light Hashogeki in juggles to make it work, but now it works just find from your Medium Hashogeki juggles that go into Heavy Shoryuken.

We need more patches for this game so i can listen to baf talk more

Looking forward to the Zangief breakdown!

BREAKING: CapCom actually hires this man. Aki buffed beyond comprehension, oro added and is only a good char in his hands

If Ryu does a TC into the Denjin charge in the corner, the knock down automatically times his st mp to hit meaty and he gets +1 advantage.

@ryhzuo

Ай бұрын

You should do 2MP instead of 5MP for +2 advantage.

Cherish this moment everyone. We’re back.

Guy who talks while I mow the grass has returned Thank you

Ryu can now connect an LP hadoken into the denjin hadoken if timed right. That's crazy.

Ah, the tradition continues. I do not play sf6 much at all anymore but will gladly listen to baf tell me what's up every major patch. Thank you.

Congrats on your graduation, bro, you are the goat of street fighter framey stuff

Another patch, another taste of my favorite fighting game channel. Love the vids, been watching since pre-akuma SFV. Keep up the good work!

all the buffs are nice but being able to hold denjin charge is a change that makes ryu feel more complete and fun. even if he ends up being overtuned and eventually nerfed, i'll be happy to keep on playing this version of ryu

If you see the OD fireball trade with a regular fireball midscreen, from the delay against the opponent's regular fireball, as well as the delay from them getting hit from the punish counter, you can usually win the fireball war, AND react with an SA1 to combo. That was the first use i thought of for the OD Hadoken/SA 1 change

Bro your content is easily my favorite in terms of FGs. Always so concise and to the point, no KZread buffer bs. Thank you for all you do Baf!

The 2f SA3 after dp buff not only makes combos easier, but some new combos became physically possible at all

finally the real good patch notes videos are coming

As a guile main...ryu lookin p spicy

I watch ads on purpose only for you my man. Mad respect for making all this patch balance videos.

I feel like it would be nice to have more of the in-game audio for the demonstrations. This is my favorite patch notes analysis otherwise.

Man, bafael really does the best balance update coverage. Condensed to the essential and most important changes, no sensationalism, with a quick verdict at the end. Feels like almost everyone else is trying to waste your time watching a 20 min video instead. Great work my man, keep it up!

HE IS BACK

Light blade leg also sets up a safe jump

I get the change to Denjin moves now being heavy only, but I think it would've been nice to keep it for all strengths so you can apply it to any speed of the projectiles. Instead of locking it to heavy I would've made it so that tapping the button uses the normal version, and holding applies the Denjin effect.

The active frames change on 2MP is to make it a better drive rush check, it was very prone to whiffing when done too early.

Hell yeah I love seeing Ryu be a top tier.

I'll hold off calling Ryu great this time around, because we all said he would be strong when the beta came out before Luke and Ken overshadowed him on release. All the changes look good on paper but I'll wait for Ryu to get results first before calling him great

HERE WE GO AGAIN BAYBEEEEE

I wish I could read things in Baf’s voice

excited to see how you tackle jamies patch notes; I think people are misunderstanding crucial things about them good and bad

When we finally needed him most He appeared 🥹

THANK GOD BAF IS HERE TO SAVE US! Good to know you’re busy though, hope school is going great man

The stHP advantage buff makes it so it combos into h.hashogeki in punish counter or DR, which I feel is a significant buff since it's the easier of his HPs to land while being the only one that couldn't combo into h.hashogeki previously.

Crouching medium punch is now +2 on block if you meaty it from either target combo into Denjin. You can frame trap a regular Denjin hasho cancel from the crouching medium it’ll trade with a light reversal and you’re +28 for a full combo of your choice. If they block the Denjin hasho you’re +3 point blank for another strike throw mix.

One thing I find kinda disappointing is that they didn't apply the denjin changes to Ryu's supers. They could have made level 1 and level 2 only use your denjin if you input it with HP so we have more control over Denjin usage.

@Bafael

Ай бұрын

I was thinking about that. In modern you can only do the supers with either the shortcut (no version control) or with medium for lv 2 or heavy for level 3, also no version control.

They fixed exactly what they needed to for Ryu. Hats off to the devs for once

YEAHHHH!!!!

I love you

WE ARE SO BACK

I was just wondering if you uploaded Ryu and you just did the moment I checked

We might as well consider Ryu a DLC character.

@Bafael I've found a weird interaction and don't know why it doesn't connect, after drive rush 6HK on punish counter it leaves at +10 , 5HP will combo but not 4HK, both are 10 frames with the same begining frame data (9 frames of startup with 5 actives frames hitbox from 10th frame trough 14th) can you confirm me i'm not crazy baf ? tested on Guile both standing and crouching. Edit : apparently it only works on corner, must be hitboxes collisions whiffing

Damn, they really wanted Ryu to have a fucking shotgun and shit out plus frames
