Ryu vs Sonic
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Ryu against Sonic, leverage your Tatsu to counter Sonic's Spin Dash and keep him at bay, especially when he approaches with high speed. Use your jump to bait Sonic's aerial maneuvers, as he becomes vulnerable during his descent. Maintain stage control by spacing your attacks well, and look for opportunities to land your Shoryuken when Sonic overcommits, as his fast-paced play can leave him open after missed attacks. Be mindful of Sonic's quick movement, and focus on punishing his landings to capitalize on your stronger ground game.
Tips for Ryu vs Sonic
Sonic's speed is tough to deal with. Whenever he charges spin dash. Jump to bait his own jump, as he is weak when falling to stage. Tatsu also counters his dash options.
