Ryu’s Roundhouse Puts the Brakes on Wakeups with These Oki Options

Now that we’ve had some time to settle into Street Fighter V, we’re starting to see how characters can maximize their options on their opponent’s wakeup. There are things to be wary of–cough wakeup jab cough–but more often than not, getting a knock down means that you get the chance to pile the pressure on.
