He had all of his ninpo moves from 5 in 4, save the Power Blow, Cliffhanger, and ongyoin parry.

Yeah i hate those too. The only reason i hate his ninpo and guard breaks are they are so easy to spam out, you dont even need to be stunned. I just need to practice countering him, i suck at it.

oh I know they were in 4. I just mean I don't remember every single busa player spamming those and only those moves. DOA4 busa players at least used his moveset. I mean, every single busa I fought just spammed those teleports and guard breaks.

That's because Ryu was superior at all forms of combat in DOA4. In 5 he's much slower mixed with some other things, so it's difficult to hold your ground in close-quarters.
That said, only noobs spam the teleports all the day. They're not fun to spam, not fun to fight, and eventually players learn how to beat out all his ninpo options.

Seriously i haven't fought a Ryu that actually used his critical burst or any combos. All spamming those one hitters.

You'll have to be more specific with "combo." Ryu's CB isn't used often because people are expecting mid-punches from Ryu a lot. That said, if you can land one, you get a free shoho.

Then again, I don't really use CBs in any of my plays. I always feel when the threshold is met, people are expecting it to come and hold 'em. That's what I do to others, anyway.
