Objectives:
- Travel to Japan.
- Find and speak to Ryu.
- Complete Ryu's 'Meditation Training' (sparring with specific conditions).
- Spar with Ryu.
Strategy:
Journey to Japan and find Ryu in his secluded dojo. His 'Meditation Training' is a sparring match where you might have specific conditions, such as winning without jumping, or only using special moves. Pay attention to the instructions. Ryu is the quintessential 'Shoto' character. He has a balanced toolkit with Hadoken (projectile), Shoryuken (anti-air), and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (hurricane kick). Block his fireballs and look for opportunities to jump over them for a punish. Be extremely careful when jumping in, as his Shoryuken is a powerful anti-air. Play a patient neutral game, using your own projectiles or pokes to control space. He's a fundamental test of your fighting game skills.
Rewards:
- 4500 Zenny
