Why is Ryu So Bad in Street Fighter 5?

Best Answer

He lacks the versatility and speed of other characters, making it hard to get those big wins. Plus, his damage output just doesn't stack up.

Ryu’s just been having a rough time lately; his moveset hasn't aged well against newer, flashier characters. Poor guy needs a patch buff!

Ryu is about fundamentals, but SFV rewards flashy combos and mix-ups more. He's just too basic for the meta.

From my experience, playing as Ryu feels like bringing a knife to a gunfight. He’s just outclassed by almost everyone else!
