Ryu vs R.O.B.
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When facing R.O.B. as Ryu, leverage your zoning capabilities with Hadoken to control space while staying aware of R.O.B.'s projectile options. Use bait and punish tactics to draw out R.O.B.'s attacks, particularly his Gyro and Laser, and then capitalize on openings with your Shoryuken or a well-timed Tatsu for heavy damage. Maintain your distance to avoid R.O.B.'s powerful aerial maneuvers, but be ready to close in quickly when you see an opportunity, as R.O.B. can struggle against Ryu's close-quarters pressure. Positioning is key; try to keep the fight near the edges of the stage to capitalize on R.O.B.'s slower recovery options.
