• Use Charge Shot to punish Ryu's slow recovery and prevent him from approaching.
• Maintain neutral game distance to avoid Ryu's close-range combos and fireballs.
• Utilize Samus's superior mobility and air control to evade Ryu's predictable movement patterns.
• Focus on edge-guarding with well-timed Charge Shots or point-blank missiles.
• Be cautious of Ryu's EXE and Shoryuken, as they can punish Samus's slower close-range attacks.
• Leverage Samus's long-range options to control the stage and limit Ryu's opportunities to engage.
