Justin Wong breaks down Ryu's updated damage output following the latest balance patch, explaining why the character's pressure and combo scaling finally justify top-tier status. Comments push back on the claim—one viewer notes Wong's skill matters more than tier placement—but the patch notes confirm Ryu's hit confirms and Drive Rush routing received concrete buffs. Includes footage of the character's corner carry sequences and mid-screen resets that benefited most from the changes.
