Mastering Ryu's movement is paramount. The left analog stick controls movement, while the right analog stick controls the camera. Press 'A' to jump, and press 'A' again near a wall to perform a Wall Run. Holding 'X' performs a strong attack, 'Y' a quick attack. 'B' is used for Ninpo, and 'RT' blocks. Remember to practice the 'Flying Swallow' (Jump + X) and 'Izuna Drop' (Y, Y, X, X, Y after launching an enemy) as these will be your bread and butter for crowd control and dealing significant damage. Dodging with 'LS + A' is crucial for avoiding incoming attacks and repositioning.
