Ryu vs Kirby

To effectively play Ryu against Kirby, utilize your zoning tools like Hadoken to control space, but be mindful that Kirby's aerials can out-prioritize it, especially when he approaches from above. Keep your distance to avoid his fast grab, as it can lead to significant damage if he manages to catch you. Focus on punishing Kirby's landings with Shoryuken or a well-timed down tilt, as his lightweight makes him vulnerable to early K.O.s. Position yourself strategically to capitalize on his speed, and look for opportunities to bait him into unsafe approaches, allowing you to unleash your more powerful moves.
