Or Battle of the Izuna Drops.

As with Bison, Vega runs into Ryu. Only thing is, that it's not the Ryu that Bison is looking for. It's Ryu Hayabusa.

Inside a cage match, Vega is seething that the girls are swooning over Ryu instead of him (Ryu is unmasked).

Stage: Vega's SF2 Stage

Vega wins. Vega has a claw. The other guy doesn't.

You obviously have no idea who Ryu Hayabusa is. Vega is tough, I give him that, but against Mr. Modern Super Ninja Ryu Hayabusa he's toast.

PS - Ryu Hayabusa doesn't have a claw instead he has the True Dragon Sword, A strong bow, Shiruken, Exploding Shiruken, windmill shiruken, Nunhakus, Vigorian Flails, Rachel's Hammer, The Berserker sword(think of Cloud's Buster Sword), Lord Doku's soul absorbing sword, and last but certainly the most important Nimpo.

Ryu wins. Ryu has all of that. The other guy doesn't.

This is the DOA version of Hayabusa, not the Ninja Gaiden version.

I think so. It depends what you want. It does take a lot of liberties with the "official" story, but it captures a lot the "essense" of the games- it's colourful and fun and packed with over the top but bloodless action. Crucially, it's entertaining, and i'm glad i saw it. Also, you should check out the polygons on some of the ladies.

coolio then i'l keep to plan. Not really a ladies man, i just love watching movies


and i would predict Ryu wins, but thats a first glance guess i'm not really involed in this fight and my knowledge is lacking

Thanks for clearing that up. Sadly Ryu still wins. He still has Nimpo in DOA(DOA4 ending) and he can teleport and has more options in his teleport than Kasumi.

No seriously

Did you really see it?

Ayane..not japanese...WTF?

Anyways Ew.

You should check out the imdb messageboard. Full of fanboys saying "Kasumi isn't supposed to wear trousers" and "Ayane is too white". It's still a decent movie. Also, it's got Eric Roberts of "Best of the Best" and "Less Than Perfect" fame in it. You can't argue with that.

Doa and ninja gaiden versions of ryu are the same.

Yeah, but I guess he was just trying to tone Ryu down, get what I mean?

I don't see how, since ryu in DOA4 shoots kamehameha's

Well yeah...well at least he is not hell vent on taking revenge on those who destroyed his clan....well...curbstomp anyway you look at it.

Bah. I realize Ryu is probably the guy who would win the fight. But I don't have to like it. Vega is 10x the character he is.

Vega's backflip has invicibility frames, rendering him invunerable. I remember back in Alpha 3, you can backflip when Bison does the Psycho Drive Crusher and come out unharmed. So Hayabusa will have to try harder if his ninpo isn't effective.

Are we seriously going by gamepaly? Because Hayabusa is "Mega-Broken" in DOA 4. Under certain sitpulations, he can perfom an unbreakable slam I.E. Inzuna Otoshi, Which Takes 150 points of damage. That's more than a grappler.

Ryu's sweet in 4. His setups are just superb. Only Ayane comes close to have his setups.But I didn't like him much in the previous games because of his stupid handstand/breakdancing moves.

Yeah, but he's overpowered, DOA 4 is very broken. Not like soul calibur 3,but, bad nonetheless.

Eh, I'll say Ryu. I don't reallly remember much about Vega

DOA4 is one of the more balanced installations of the series actually. If you want broke go play DOA2.

As for the fight, Ryu kills Vega just as Kasumi does.

No, it isn't, DOA4 is second only to DOA 2, and the patch made it worst.

-Crappy Side Step that inches you foward
-Lack of throw escapes
-Hayabusa
-Stupid spacing game
-No grab interrupts

Pretty much no defensive tatics whatsoever, which leaves your options to a lucky counter hold.

DOA4 Ryu's got nothing on DOA2/Ultimate Ayane. Now that's one broken *****.

Hayabusa, although he and Vega have similar moves.

I used to think so and I lost a lot since I was still playing with a DOA2 Hitomi and Ayane. Now I realize now that DOA4 seems weird because it's the first of its kind in the DOA series. DOA4 is based about 80-90% on offense. Defense is basically thrown out the window. That doesn't break the game, it just means you have to play differently. There has been a lack of throw escapes in all the games. Hayabusa isn't really broken either. He's just really good.

Broken is DOA2 Tengu.

The closest to broken is Kasumi when she's online.

Can you believe I literally had to stop using Ayane on Ultimate because people kept complaining? Hitomi became my main and now Ayane my secondary. DOA4 rolls around and I pick up Ayane again to find out she plays COMPLETELY differently than in Ultimate. Ah well, at least only the noobs complain about her now.

So, what did you think of it?

Hyabusa will win against Vega

Broken is DOA2 Tengu.

C'mon, 150 points of damage from an unbreakable inzuna in biolab, that's not broken. He's grapples are better than grapplers!

Hey don't get me wrong, Hayabusa has some stuff the game would be better off without. I mean, his punch counters all lead to a free izuna WTF!! He is definitely close to broken, but he is still missing some stuff like DOA2 Tengu's Up/forward kick or Hayate's 3.1 cartwheel. Tengu was actually banned from tournaments and Hayate players weren't allowed to use his cartwheel because they were truly broken.

Hayate's cartwheel is the most broken move since Variable cancel.

So, in other words, this isn't a fair fight at all. Ha. The only way a DOA character can beat an SF one is by bad game mechanics. Shoulda known.

DOA cahracters are more powerful than street fighters, don't be fooled. They have a larger universe and have a nice sum of feats.

Not really, the hierarchy of street fighter is more developed. But, Doa characters are proving they are not weaklings either.
