This video here is a continuation of the matchup knowledge series where I help you improve your Mika matchup knowledge. This time round I go over some points that are imperative when it comes to the Ryu matchup. Personally I feel that this matchup is pretty even. When Mika has no meter then Ryu can fight her pretty well (as he can shutdown all of her approaches) but when Mika has resources the matchup changes (and it's easier to score a knockdown). Shoryuken as an anti-air is really good in this matchup as well. For Ryu this matchup is all about his spacing...

Points made in the video:

1) How Ryu punishes (Charged) St.HK
2) How Ryu anti-airs Mika
3) How Mika deals with Ryu's Hadoukens
4) How Mika punishes EX Shoryuken
5) Situations where Ryu can use his VT2 against Mika

Obviously there's tons more things I could have spoken about but I feel these points made will help you a fair bit.
