Wolf vs Ryu
Matchup Tips and Strategies
In the matchup against Wolf, Ryu should focus on maintaining pressure while avoiding the ledges, as Wolf can capitalize on any missteps with his strong edge-guarding abilities. Use Ryu's Hadouken strategically to zone Wolf, but be cautious, as it can be reflected back at you—reserve it for punishing Wolf's overextensions instead. Ryu’s focus attack can absorb Wolf’s aerial approaches, allowing you to set up for powerful follow-up combos. Keep moving and spacing carefully to prevent Wolf from using his quick attacks to get in, and look for opportunities to punish his landings with Shoryuken or a well-timed down tilt.
