Early Ryu Videos

Hey, I just decided to post these videos my good friend Rugi from Maryland recorded of me and him playing very early in my Ryu "experiment":

This was very early (probably 1st or 2nd day of my Ryu play) but I really want to hear what you think about it. I have improved a bit from these vids but I want to know what you see I'm doing wrong and any things I could use. I also did alot of research after these fights so I know more now about Ryu combos and strats but my matchup knowledge is lacking. I am gonna try to get a Dazzle DVD Recorder so that I can upload more matches from Xbox Live and maybe offline sessions.
