Ryu has devoted himself to the art of fighting. He travel only with
whatever that he carried on him. Always travel alone no matter what the season
or weather is like. Ryu is always seeking worthy opponent to improve his skill
and to prove his own worth through fighting. People often think "Who da hell
is this guy?!" After claiming the "King of Hill" title in the Street Fighter
Tournment, Ryu has received a challenge for a rematch from the former champion
Sagat.

*Always alter the speed of you fireball to confuse your opponent. Use Jab
Fireball to punish Sodom for trying to use Slide Surprise to counter Fireball.
*Use early Overhead Strike to ensure a clear hit + Fireball Combo.
*Ryu was designed as vs. character right from start. The author suspect that
Ryu is the altered ego of the original programmer, who was 16 years of age,
when he programmed the original Street Fighter. Ryu had a faster response,
recovery from fireball in SF series. Later given invunerability in Hurrincane
Kick. Ryu do more damage & faster Ken. Ryu will always be in SF series.
*After defeated Sagat. Sagat kneeled in front of Ryu full of anger & hatred.
Ryu was upset by the fact that the match brings him no honor. Before
departing, Ryu reminded Sagat that "A true warrior fights with heart & skill,
not with anger & hatred". And with that Ryu continued his voyage in search
of the Warrior's Way, while Sagat vowed to revenged his further dishonor by
Ryu.

After the defeat in Street Fighter Tournament, the former "King of Hill"
has return to reclaim the title of the world's strongest from the "lucky boy"
who has taken it from him. Sagat's chest bares a scare caused by Ryu's Dragon

scare glows from the ki, whenever Sagat remind himself of the defeat at the
hands of a mere boy.

*Use Tiger Wave to draw opponent into a Fireball fight. Use Super Tiger Ki to
overpower their fireball. Remember L1 STK = Ryu's L2 = Akuma's L1 Fireballs.
*After Sagat winning the match, Sagat saw the sad look on Ryu's face. He also
noticed that Ryu did not use all his skill & full strength during the match.
Sagat suddenly realized that Ryu was holding back. Ryu has let him redeem his
shame by letting him winning the match. Sagat realized such a victory was an
empty one. Sagat vowed to seek Ryu in the next Street Fighter Tournament
(SF2) to redeem himself in the honorable fashion. Until then, Sagat's
consumed by his own anger & hatre toward Ryu. Sagat will join Shadowloo in
search for Ryu.

Sheng Long: (Rising Dragon)
Master Sheng Long is the mentor of Ryu, Ken, & Akuma. Master Sheng Long
is also Akuma's brother. Master Sheng Long is the keeper of deadly secret of
Shoruken ( Rising Dragon Punch ). He did not pass the fatal technique of
Shoruken to Ryu, Ken, or Akuma. Sheng Long is currently nickname "the old man"
in the SFA fans.
See Akuma's Section
No Hint will be given, if you receive any hint in prior USFA FAQ, disgard
it! The author will not hear about anyone losing their money or mind in
attempt to get the Sheng Long Code. You'll do so in your own risk.
Sheng Long Code will be released upon USFA FAQ v1.0 ( Full Release )
If you have Wolverine or Spiral, then I would be more than happy to trade.
Wanna C Sheng Long, But having a hard time getting the code??? Well,
finish the game with Akuma, the old man in the background is Sheng Long.

*Sodom's standing roundhouse is unblockable when the opponent is just getting
up
*Use Slide Surprise against fireballers. Beware that Slide Surprise do not
work against certain slowest projectile, such as Charlie's.
*Use Sai Strike against air-borne opponent, even against Akuma's Air Fireball.
*Sodom is probably the #1 character against Ryu, Ken, & Akuma. Keep DB as your
neutral position as you keep your enemy within your Slide Surprise range. If
they jump towards you use D,3 or Sai Rush to keep them back. If they throw
fireball, use Slide Surprise. If you have to block their fireball, perform an
Alpha Counter immediately to punish them. Use Unblockable Standing Rounhouse
after knock down to further your punishment. Punish those Fireballers for all
the cheap moves they have tried to pull on you. Make them Pay for their
crime!
*Sodom defeated Guy to prevent Guy from interfere with Sodom's plan for the
world domination ever again. Sodom gathered his former underlings from "Mad
Cear" gang & decided to form a new gang named "Daemonic ? ? ?" gang. Will
Sodom succeed in his conquest of world domination? Only the time will tell...

| Expert Advice |
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Analysis your opponent. Observe their pattern & weakness by watching
they play other player. Use this information obtained against them!
2. Always try to be unpredictable. Once you're predictable, then you are
good as dead. Be spontaneous, reactive, & dominative.
3. Always try to lure your opponent into a repeatitive pattern.
4. Super can be countered by escape, Super, or AC. If all else fails,
BLOCK!
5. Always tick energy off, no matter what you do, always make them bleed a
little at the time. (See Tick under Individual Character)
6. Psychological Warfare is the most lethal trick of all form of attack.
This includes trash talk. However, remember that this is only a game.
That means don't carry it too far, otherwise, you better have eyes on the
back of your head when you walked out the arcade, or pray you can fight
like the characters in SFA. Psych your opponent out!
7. Always be courteous, remember to give those player without a chance an
extra round or two. Otherwise, you will be a very lonely player.
8. Counter all attack, attack fiercely, and intimidate the opposition with
crushing combos to instill fear into their mind. Play with their mind!
