Dezmu Demonstrates Uses for Mega Man’s Rush Coil, New Ryu Infinite in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Prolific Super Smash Bros. content creator Dezmu has been quite busy as of late, sharing a couple of videos demonstrating tricks for the two Capcom guest characters in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

The first of these is a tutorial on how to use Mega Man’s faithful pet dog Rush to set up a kill. Normally, Rush Coil disappears once Mega Man jumps off the spring, but apparently there’s a way to cancel the move to keep summoning the robotic canine as soon as it ends. Using this technique, Mega Man players can set him up so that he can easily knock respawning characters off-stage.

The second video demonstrates a brand new infinite combo for Street Fighter’s Ryu. The infinite is supposedly more practical than the previous one, and allows for a fair bit of damage even though opponents can likely use directional influence to escape. It’s also important to note that this seems to work only on characters in the same weight class as Fox.
