i believe amjad is by far the best i have played in pindi, i played him last at fareeds house a couple of months back , apart from that i played him once at killing hawks house, i only managed to beat him 2 times out of the 12 or so games i played with him, although as he admits himself he has little knowledge of the ssf4 but he has been playing sf2 for 8 years so his basics are very strong like i was trying to jump in the middle of the link and he caught me and told me what i was doing wrong, so there is a lack of basic knowledge among us new players compared to the old school ones, not to mention the spacing, akuma has better footsies/zoning tools against ryu and i was having too much trouble against him back then, some of the later matches were really close but i lost almost all of them, as fareed has said dont abuse the throw tech OS against him, he uses the ryu bnb that has 2 frame traps in one block string so if you mash it you are fucked as he wont miss a link once you have been caught in the frame trap, i realized that the last time i met him, the combo is basically lp<mp<Lp<Fireball all in crouching, so you see there are 2 frame traps there. plus i suggest you play against him to improve your game as he dosent play like the rest of the scrub ryus, that shoryuken AA into ultra. i hope i soon find time to play against him really nice guy, just learn the basic matchup against ryu and play him , will be really fun
