You crouched low to the ground once more, positioning yourself the same way you would if you were about to scale up a wall.
Ryu's stance shifted slightly to account for your unusual posture, but you could tell that he was more than a little perplexed by the sight.
Before he could fire off another projectile, you were already advancing on him.
You easily avoided a punch and a sweeping kick from Ryu, slipped past his defenses and landed a solid punch to his stomach.
He staggered back, inadvertently allowing you to crawl between his legs and get behind him. While he was busy turning around to face you, you pushed off the ground with your hands and thrust your heel into his ribs with enough force to crack a brick wall.
Ryu must have been made of sturdier stuff, because he barely flinched this time as he stepped in to aim another punch at your chest. You flipped over and propped yourself up on your hands and feet, your eyes pointed at the sky as Ryu’s fist sailed right over your head.
Then, before he could even recover from his own attack, you leaned back on your palms and performed a kick-up kick aimed at his chest. But you didn’t stop there.
You used the adhesive nature of your feet to your advantage, using his chest as a foothold as you spun and kicked him right in the ear, a feat that would’ve been impossible for anyone without your level of coordination and flexibility.
Ryu's immediate reaction was to grab you by your shoulders, tear you off of him and toss you to the ground in an effort to recuperate from your merciless onslaught. But you weren’t planning on giving him any room to breathe.
As soon as you were back on solid ground, you kicked his legs out from under him, sending him to his knees and webbing them to the floor. You remained on your back, attaching a pair of weblines to his shoulders and kicking at his chest, throat and face, all while holding onto the weblines to prevent him from escaping.
You were starting to develop a good rhythm here. Make yourself as small of a target as possible, stay close to the ground, and as soon as you get close, throw out as many attacks as you can. Hit them fast and hit them hard. Every part of your body is a weapon, and your every movement is deadly. All you had to do was hone your senses and refine your techniques a bit.

Ryu was taking a massive beating by this point, and you had a feeling that he wouldn’t be able to fight for much longer. So, you decided to end it with a flashy finisher.
Releasing the weblines, you rolled back onto your feet and attached a new pair onto his forehead. Then, you yanked them down so that his face smacked violently against the pavement. And when his head bounced back up, you were there to deliver a rising knee to his vulnerable nose.
It went straight through. Ryu’s whole head shattered into pieces, and you were unsure as to whether you had hit him too hard, or if he was already on the brink of collapse.
