Ryu "tech" that should be kept

Discussion

if you don't know, ryu 2nd ult move "i had no idea" has some maybe unintended features to do with a feint ability ryu recently got, like canceling the move after hitting it, or after missing it. this is insanely useful, allowing you to basically use the move with a 6 second cooldown for only 5hp at a time. and that's not even the only benifit, since this move give you instant i-frames meaning that you can use it to avoid attacks and still hit them, this is most effecttive against move like hollow purple and fuga, but also domains like shrine and TCMP. due to the feint you can counterbait (like Combat Instincts and Final Judgement), but this is an intended part of it, and maybe this mid move feint is too, being able to feint after you miss is insane.

But despite the problem this brings, it's also a good thing, because ryu ult is pretty weak, due to the fact that all of your moves are pretty dodgable/counterable. and if you didn't know about this, USE IT, it helps so much, all of the combos are green, but you don't need combos when you're doing 15-20 damage every 10 seconds.
