CrossUPDP is back with more of his “MAX DAMAGE” combo tutorial series, and today he’s tackling the much-maligned season 2.5 Ryu.

While Ryu may have gotten his Dragon Punch back thanks to the mid-season balance patch, many still regard the original World Warrior as relatively weak in SFV. We can see here, however, that has less to do with damage output and more to do with the situational, counter-punching nature of his toolset. Ryu’s damage output still hurts when he scores his hits, sometimes even out-damaging and out-stunning the glorious Lord Bison for the same resources. Which just goes to show: damage is a good thing, but it’s not everything when it comes to the overall strength of a character.

Dominique “SonicFox” McLean, from Team Echo Fox, is one of the most dominant players to have burst into the scene in the past few years. Few players have been able to come into the scene and demonstrate the same consistency and skill as SonicFox has.

Now, a new video by Shujinkydink takes a look at SonicFox’s rise to prominence. The video below asks the question of whether or not SonicFox was always as dominant as he is now, all while looking at his humble beginnings.

Take note however that the video focuses more on his career in NetherRealm Studios’s games, so we don’t see as much of his achievements in games like Dead Or Alive 5 and Skullgirls.
