Not much combo potential, low range, absymmal recovery, terrible airgame, lack of a decent sex-kick, low priority attacks... the list just goes on and on and on. I get the range and recovery things, but everything else is simply unacceptable.
I main Ryu and honestly I don't think he's that bad. You have to play him a lot like Mac, looking for openings and using your super armor attacks and just taking the hit in exchange for doing damage as opposed to not getting hit at all. Otherwise, zoning with the Hadouken, and pressuring with the aerials and the occasional spinning kick should do the job. Also, unless you're really desperate and need to throw out like 5 Hadoukens rapid fire there's really no reason to not be using his traditional commands for the Hadouken and Shoryuken.
I still wouldn't main him over Roy and Mega, but I think he's getting a worse rap than he deserves so early into his inclusion.
