@Jaguar: No one has Ryu's exact 1PK. Everyone else has a better version of it, lol
And yeah, in the previous games it crushed mids (DOA4). It was stupid back then, and people actually had a right to complain about it. But now it's UP as hell.
This applies to the player, not the character. A noob can spam low moves with any character and get away with it. Ryu's 1PK has been around since DOA4 and no one has whined about it. Some characters like Momiji and Hayate have almost the exact same move. This is a bad player problem and NOT a Ryu problem.
