Knuckles kept falling off the castle until he stopped on an area that was nearly flat. He also happened to hit a flame shield on the way down. As Ryu got down to the area his opponent is he saw him run towards him. Ryu instinctively fired a Hadouken to keep his distance. Confident Knuckles ran head first into the Hadouken, except that The Hadouken isnβt made of fire so he got hit.
Knuckles: Oh No

As Knuckles falls he starts to see the ground below him and for once in his life a lightbulb turns on.
Ryu starts to fire more Hadoukens but Knuckles uses his glide to avoid it until he gets behind Ryu, he gripps his huge hands around Ryu and plunges him on the ground. When Ryu collided with the ground he made a loud scream and struggles to get up. Knuckles used Ryu to soften his fall in the ground, he could of just glided last minute when he was a couple of feet away from the ground. But whereβs the fun in that?
