Ryu vs Little Mac

When playing Ryu against Little Mac, leverage your superior mobility to keep him on the defensive, as his ground game excels in close quarters. Utilize Ryu's Hadouken to zone him out and force him to approach, while maintaining a safe distance to avoid his powerful smash attacks. Be mindful of Little Mac's KO Punch; once he has it charged, play more cautiously and look for opportunities to bait it out. Additionally, Ryu’s Shoryuken can serve as an effective counter against Little Mac's aerial approaches, allowing you to punish him when he tries to jump in.
