Some of you have been heard to make the rediculous claim that Ryu Hayabusa can beat Terry Bogard.

So I'm gonna add to this and make it worse. I challenge the DOA fans to prove to me that Hayabusa can defeat the greatest boss in the history of KOF, Rugal Bernstein.


1st match: Straight H2H. No ki powers.
2nd match: Straight fight.
3rd match: Hayabusa gets his sword.
4th match: Same as above, but it's Omega Rugal.


Ok, let's get ready to rumble. FIGHT!

You kidding? Half of the guys on the board claim that Hayabusa can beat anybody.

I know. I'm well aware that this is going to turn into a full fledged flame war. I'm going to prove once and for all that DOA has no business competing with SF/KOF. And Hayabusa's feats from Ninja Gaiden ARE NOT APPLICABLE! As far as I'm concerned, they are two different characters. Though personally, I think Rugal could take that version too.

How can you consider them different, when both occur within the EXACT same continuity? Both games even mention each other. Hayabusa is Hayabusa.....period.

Also, who even said Hayabusa would beat Terry in hand to hand?

Any boss from M. Bison to Ignitz can drop Hayabusa. Shao Kahn can just bash his head in with his mallet.

Don't argue with the OP... the opening post sets the rules of the match, if he wants the gaiden stuff out, then it's out.

As Darkstorm said, the two are different incarnations of the same person. And it's entirely up to the thread maker as to which is used. But I'll let them in all the same. It's a mismatch either way. Hayabusa can't possibly beat Rugal. You could give him the true dragon sword and he'd still lose.

Edit: I'd like to see whether it makes a difference as to how long Hayabusa lasts against Rugal. So you can argue for either or a combined version. Thanks Darkstorm.

- Saying they are different incarnations of the character is contradictory to the team that makes him, not to mention is bs. In DOA3, he's wearing one outfit. In Ninja Gaiden, he's wearing another and has the Dragon Sword. In DOA4, he's wearing the same outfit he wore in Ninja Gaiden plus he has the Dragon Sword. Clearly, DOA Hayabusa is the same character as Ninja Gaiden Hayabusa.

- The thread maker can set whatever rules he want others will still make a point.

- Prove that Rugal can beat Hayabusa without a doubt. FYI, the True Dragon Sword holds unfathomable spiritual power and is even more powerful than the Dark Dragon Blade. Saying Rugal can beat someone who possess the Dark Dragon Blade is completely absurd.

In order.

1. Yeah, but as Darkstorm said,

2. See 1. I already said you have to consider them as separate and you can argue for the Gaiden version separately from the DOA one.

3. The burden of proof is on you. Keep in mind Omega Rugal was beating the entire KOF 95' cast until he self-destructed.

I wasn't arguing the stipulations of the match. I don't care if he wishes to exclude Ninja Gaiden from the match. I was just pointing out that they ARE the same person.

You misunderstood me. I'm completely fine with the rules you set. I just wanted you to realize that Hayabusa is still Hayabusa whether he is in Ninja Gaiden or in DOA. If you want to exclude his Ninja Gaiden stuff though, you're free to do so. Hell, I think you came up with a good ruleset.

Just because they said Ryu can beat most people in SF?

Drop Hayabusa probably in hand to hand, and holding back. But I don't see Ryu not using his techniques and legendary weapon to WTFPWN them to win.

......No. Just no. This thread was intended as spite. And only a few people seem to get how big a mismatch this is.




Hayabusa CANNOT beat M. Bison or other top tier characters like him. If he's this godly character in Ninja Gaiden, why doesn't it carry over to DOA? Why doe he get beat up, experimented on, and in general, not WTF-PWN everyone else in the series? Either the DOA crowd is stronger than the enemies in the gaiden games (highly unlikely), Hayabusa was weakened for gameplay balance (maybe, but it doesn't explain some of his losses), or......it's separate continuity and the two are different versions of the character.


You seriously think he can beat Omega Rugal or God Rugal with his sword?

Hayabusa hasn't been experimented. You must also keep in mind that Ninja Gaiden occurred before DOA and many of the combatants(i.e. Ayane) have grown much in strength since....2 years before the first tournament. It's not a separate continuity. The DOA crowd is just a bit stronger than you are giving them credit. Although, I'll be the first to admit that some are giving DOA a little more credit than they need.(i.e. Hayabusa)

I think DOA can draw or beat most of the mid tier characters in SF/KOF. And some of the bosses are stronger than mid, but not quite high tier. But Rugal is top tier, and god tier at times. Sorry about the experiment quip. Was thinking of Hayate. But the point stands.

For a battle like this, you need a perfect stage for this battle. How about the Tower of Lahja from Ninja Gaiden 2? It was one of my favorite stages in the original trilogy (music included).

Ok, let's get ready to rumble. FIGHT! 1) Rugal takes it.

2)Once again, Rugal takes it.

3) Hayabusa, most likely.

4) Rugal

Saying Hayabusa is overall better means he can take the hole old KOF cast.

Seeing as how you're one of the only sane people on this board who's knowledgable about DOA, exactly how good is that sword? How high up would it let him win? Btw, by sane, I mean unlike Cloud and Style, you actually realize how big a mismatch this fight is normally.

Before you go questioning my sanity, maybe you should actually READ my post. Show me where I said Hayabusa wins this please.

My apologies. I assumed because you weren't exclaiming spite or that this was an unfair match, that you believed Hayabusa could win. I assumed too much.

All I say is Ryu will smoke Rugal once Nimpo & True Dragon Sword are available to him.

The jury is still out on the sword. But nimpo? That shit ain't gonna stop Rugal.

What I meant by Nimpo + Sword Techniques are the possibilities by using them both. Teleportation + Fire Blast *switch* Teleportation + Decapitation etc. See what I mean?

Hand to hand O. Rugal has it though.

The Dragon Sword is indeed powerful, I believe it was made from the bones of an actual Dragon. But even with that and Nimpo, he will not be strong enough to stop OMEGA Rugal or Ultra Rugal.

Why not considering his feats from Ninja Gaiden?

- I've yet to be convinced Rugal would win this.

- Prove Hayabusa cannot beat M. Bison.

- There's not much story in DOA as there is in NG.

- He did not get beat up by anyone except Hayate in hand to hand, and that's because Hayabusa was being cocky.

- He WTFPWNed Tengu who is arguably the most powerful character in the DOA series.

- Of course he would be weakened in gameplay. Why do you think Dante and Nightmare die so easily in their games?

- They are the same characters as I've proven earlier.

- You obviously know nothing about his weapon. It is more powerful than the Dark Dragon Blade. The Satsui no Hadu is powerful indeed, but you should see what would happen to Ryu if he wielded the Dark Dragon Blade and broke the seal. He would become the devil Incarnate. Let's see Rugal stand a chance of winning then, not that he'd win against Ryu with the True Dragon Sword considering he would be even more of a challenge.

Well you apparently do not know much about DOA's top tiers all you do is root for SF/KOF.

According to Robert from Ninja Gaiden 2, the Dragon Sword was indeed made from the Dragon itself, only it was made from the Dragon's fang. You got the bone part mixed with the Sword of Chaos, wich was made from the bone of the Demon from NG1.

1. Hayabusa beating M. Bison at his SFA levels isn't in question, that's a fact that he can't beat that Bison. SF2, maybe. Probably not in a straight fight, but possibly has a chance with his sword.

2. NG is non-applicable.

3. Still a loss. Except instead of proving he's weak, it proves he's a dumbshit.

4. Don't you dare compare a weakling like Tengu to Rugal Bernstein. That is an insult. Rugal is the most powerful boss in KOF, 2nd only to Orochi.

5. You haven't given me any feats that prove Rugal would lose to Hayabusa. Whereas I've stated Rugal's power by virtue of his smashing teams, beating countless fighters, and nearly beating the entire KOF 95' cast. That last one is something NO ONE in DOA is capable of.

6. He's not beating Omega Rugal. God Rugal would one shot him. The sword has never shown the power to take down Omega Rugal. If you show me some feats, I'll give you Rugal. But it's not possible for him to take down Omega.

So anytime someone claims that Hayabusa loses, all we get is "prove he loses". Ryu Hayabusa isn't beating God Rugal with his sword, let it go. The guy has the nigh-speed of Akuma with greater attack power and range, I know Omega Rugal is in question, but he isn't beating him either...

- I could easily say Tina would kill M. Bison effortlessly since you apparently think this is a debate involving no proof.

- Yes it is because it's the same character. Take Ryu's NG feats away and we're taking away M. Bison's SFA feats.

- I think I just might stop debating with you if you're going to act like a dumbass.

- Prove that Rugal can do something close to bringing about ultimate disaster and calamity and covering a world in chaos.

- In fact, I did. I said Ryu defeated an opponent who was infused with the power of the evil deities along with the Dark Dragon. One of those deities, being the ancestor of all evil deities had enough power to destroy a planet. That combined with the power of the Dark Dragon, well, you do the math. That is what Ryu's capable of beating with his primary weapon. Also, where does DOA factor in this?

- The sword has never shown to take down Rugal because they both exist in different universes, duhr.

- He'd one shot Rugal with the Dark Dragon Blade because it holds unimaginable power.

- I believe Incarnate would take down Omega and God Rugal together. Ryu with the True Dragon Sword is even more powerful than that.

Not really I've said before that Ryu along with Rachel would lose to Vergil and Dante. I've also said Ryu could lose to Cloud. He could lose to a number of others. Saying that he could win is not implying that he would win outright. It's just arguing that he could win...

Ryu's speed creates after images of himself and range does not factor much since he has the ability to teleport. Also, he can use explosive arrows and APFSDS cores as long range weapons.

You really want Hayabusa to lose huh?

Wow. You honestely think Ryu wouldn't defeat Rugal even with the sword? You talk about Rugal beating on the KOF cast...how about Ryu taking down the Vigoor empire by himself.

Ryu's feats > Rugal's.

It's that simple. Now I do give the hand to hand match to Rugal, but with the sword Ryu is a beast and it's a shame people think we're just over rating him.

And as for Bison I don't see Mr. Psycho Power standing much of a chance if Ryu is given his sword; however one on one hand to hand I do not know about the outcome; probably Bison considering all the people it took to take him down in SFA3.

I was referring to God Rugal.

- If Ryu can overcome the devil Incarnate I don't see any version of Rugal beating him.

Rugal is stronger than the devil incarnate!

Ok, I'm not defending that one........ :sweat:

But suffice to say, Hayabusa is sooooooo not beating God Rugal. Even with the damn overpowered swords.

You're suggesting that "God" Rugal is more powerful than Incarnate, who Ryu was able to beat with the only weapon that could counter the Dark Dragon Blade's power.

There is nothing wrong with asking for proof in a debate. Nothing wrong with wanting proof to a claim. I just think there's something wrong when everytime something is brought up, someone says "prove it" especially when it's known to the general public, it just looks like someone doesn't even read/know about the media. If someone said, "Bison could blow up the earth by blinking an eye!" then I could see what you mean. Otherwise it looks like a way to stall when you ask for it all the time.

Yeah it's quite obvious Rugal does not win this match unless you can at least convince me that he's more powerful than the devil Incarnate (both versions of him)

Well you haven't said anything that convinced me. How about playing Ninja Gaiden or finding out about it since I don't only study one side of the debate. I try getting all the knowledge I can on Rugal and I haven't read upon anything that would prove a match for Hayabusa. Oh, and Rugal's not winning due to popular vote.

- You were saying in the beginning, whenever someone claims Hayabusa loses we get a "prove he loses". Well yeah, it's appropriate to try and prove that he would lose because he has fought opponents Rugal would never dream of fighting.

- ....ok...and just what have you said that makes it seem like Rugal will win besides "Ryu's just not beating Rugal"?

- Not all teleportation happens instantly in games. I can give a few examples. I'm just pointing out that it's instant in this case. I was also pointing that out because you mentioned Rugal has a warping ability. I'm countering your facts with mine.

- Ok...who outside of KOF are you speaking of? A grab? Haha, oh yeah Hayabusa better watch out for that...how about trying to block a Storm of the Heavenly Dragon, eh? Try proving Rugal would have a way around that.

- When has Akuma or Rugal fired island destroying blasts in the air? If so, why didn't they just destroy battlegrounds and blast their opponents to smithereens?

- You obviously do not know much about the Dragon Sword. In it's true form, it holds unimaginable power that is even greater than the Dark Dragon Blade's. That's stating facts, that's not fanboyish. Also, I'm not giving my opinion on that question since I'm not knowledgable on Jedah.

- I was convinced several times about who Ryu would lose to. In fact, you can go to the Hayabusa gauntlet thread to see who I stated Ryu would lose to. As for why I'm not convinced, I don't see Rugal standing after Ryu decapitates him with his sword, and he has moves that makes him invulnerable in the process. Added he has a plasma sword as well, and up to three talismans of rebirth that revive him each time he dies.

- I could if I wanted to, since I'm getting more knowledge on Rugal as we speak. Also, if you admit that you can't prove Rugal would win why were you saying in the beginning he isn't beating Rugal?

- No. I was going by that claim because you were making a claim that you show you can't prove.

- I agree. He can lose to top tiers without his sword. From the beginning, you were saying Ryu cannot win with his sword, which is ridiculous.

- People here know little about Ninja Gaiden apparently. I've seen a number of SF/KOF fans that seem obssessed with top tiers like Akuma, Geese Howard, etc. Also, I've noticed a lot of ignorance about DOA's top tiers, as no one but a few has pointed out the facts and feats of those characters. And again, Rugal at his fullest may beat Ryu without his sword. Though with it, I don't see any form of Rugal being a bigger threat than Incarnate was.

The Devil incarnate is who again? Please refresh my memory. I hope he isn't who I think he is, the FINAL boss of NG. That guy was a cake walk!

The Devil Incarnate has two forms. One was the Vigoor Emperor and the other one was Murai.

Cakewalk? Go fight him on Master Ninja mode and then judge. His attacks are the most devastating of any other opponent in the game.

Prior to the fight, a swordsmith by the name of Muramasa stated that the true from of the Dragon Sword would prove more than a match for the Dark Dragon Blade. This is about a weapon that holds unimaginable power, and which was existant since the dawn of history. Only the True Dragon Sword's power can counter it and nothing else can. Story-wise, Ryu would not have won if it weren't for the weapon.

Not to mention you can no longer spam FS against Murai in Ninja Gaiden Black.

If you were to ask me to "prove that Akuma can warp" or something like that, it would be different. But I notice when people say "prove this" and "prove that" it's usually a way to get the other person to contribute information that they themselves don't possess, so they throw it off on the other person.

Well yeah, it's appropriate to try and prove that he would lose because he has fought opponents Rugal would never dream of fighting. A,B,C arguments don't really work here, because characters fight bosses in storylines that are much more powerful than them and they use plot devices to defeat them and whatnot. Just because they can beat one character doesn't mean they can beat another, because each person they fight is different. This only produces a featwar, which goes nowhere because it's a circular and flawed argument. Not to mention the fact that God Rugal (notice I'm talking about him only), only existed in one endings and is considered a God of Fighting.

I don't think so. They used certain techniques in order to do those feats, not their strength. Take Feng Wei for example he was seeking the God Fist which gives a user the ability to shatter an entire mountain with one hand. He does not have the strength but the ability to accomplish a feat such as that as a result of learning a technique specially made for that type of ability. Akuma did not do it through sheer strength, and I doubt his hadouken can destroy an island. Either way, Ryu fought an opponent with planet-destroying capabilities and won.

No need for that since I know pretty much all there is to know about Rugal as of now. I suggest that you learn more about Ryu's potential and learn exactly what his weapon is, what it was made for, and the challenges that he already faced, before posting a useless rebuttal.

Rugal has made non-canon appearances as a playable character in The King of Fighters '98 both as normal Rugal and Omega Rugal, in The King of Fighters '2002 just as Omega Rugal, and in the Capcom vs. SNK series as normal Rugal and a new version, God Rugal. The latter version was designed by Capcom, not SNK, and is the result of Rugal having absorbed Akuma's Satsui no Hadou (or dark hadou) power after defeating him in battle. His capabilities were also toned down in the Capcom vs. SNK series, to make him more balanced against the rest of the cast. After a player defeats God Rugal, at the end of the cutscene and before the credits, Rugal undergoes a transfiguration and his visage clearly resembles Akuma's, hinting that Akuma's spirit was able to overtake his body, due to his weakened condition (creating a true "God of Fighting", or perhaps something else. This can also be seen as an homage to Rugal's death in the King of Fighters canon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugal_Bernstein

This is simply amazing, I love when people have the arrogance to think they know everything, and ask someone else to prove everything, when the best they can come up with is something they read off of wiki, showing they know very little about the game mechanics in the first place. I've noticed this same technique in many of your debates, you sit and argue one-sided. You don't know much about Soul Calibur as it seems, but you are so convinced that one character is uber so you stroke their genitals and ignore everything to your own content. An ignorant, pointless, and annoying opponent to deal with.

And the same can't be said for your character and his limited use of abilities, and time it takes to charge them. Rugal uses a God Walk very often and will easily God walk out of a powerful move when fighting to the best of his abilities.

And how are you trying to take the validity of a feat down by saying it's a technique, every ****ing thing is a technique in some form or another. The mountain he punched down in Alpha 2 is not Ayers rock, THAT was the special technique. This is a stupid argument, especially when your characters relies on shitloads of magical items to begin with. In some forms of media even Ryu has shown to have power to destroy a mountain. And S. Gouki is more powerful than he was in Alpha 2. It happens very quickly.

I really haven't shown that I dont' know much about Ryu because I haven't over/underrated him at all.

Oh, I know the source isn't canonical, but that was the character in question. I didn't find the game bad, unless you meant the comics.

Ryu is always the posterboy though... lol

Don't get me wrong. I love the game. However it is obvious most rivalries are not dead even. Come on Ryu & Kyo? Terry's the better match for Ryu, but hey at least they got Ken to rival Terry.

And normal Gouki beats Rugal as well, but it's to enhance the plot. For some reason I enjoyed Ken and Terry being Rivals though, I guess they are just more charismatic.

I agree. I have no problem with Ken rivaling Terry, but Kyo...meh.

Who would be an ideal person for Ryu, you say Terry, that would be a good match too. I guess I just picture him against Ken for whatever reason.

This is simply amazing, I love when people have the arrogance to think they know everything, and ask someone else to prove everything, when the best they can come up with is something they read off of wiki, showing they know very little about the game mechanics in the first place. I've noticed this same technique in many of your debates, you sit and argue one-sided. You don't know much about Soul Calibur as it seems, but you are so convinced that one character is uber so you stroke their genitals and ignore everything to your own content. An ignorant, pointless, and annoying opponent to deal with.
You know you pretty much described yourself, and you're quite the fool for thinking I do not know much about Soul Calibur, let alone the fact that I have admitted Nightmare would beat Devil Jin. Who's stroking genitals? I would guess it's you. You show that you know nothing of Ryu or Ninja Gaiden since you don't argue about it at all, whereas I can at least point out SF and KOF character powers and abilities. Nice try but try a little harder to prevail next time.

Originally posted by Tha C-Master
Actually very many people started in saying that, but earlier in this thread (and in others) you go on saying that Ryu Hayabusa beats any SF and KOF character with his swords.
On the contrary, I say he could take them. That's stating that he can hold his own and I've yet to be told of an opponent from SF or KOF that is more powerful than the devil Incarnate. Believe it as much as you want but there really isn't anyone from either series that can top his power.

Wikipedia has a lot of knowledge actually, and that's not the only site that I read upon. If you were even listening, I said I knew a lot about the character once I finished reading all that was listed about the character, and you sit there and act like you know about Ninja Gaiden. Please, listen to your own words. You from the start decided to make a claim which you seemingly can't prove, and I'm just pointing that out. You sit there and think Rugal would win because in the game, he is so hard to beat and can be invulnerable, and has attacks you think others can do nothing about.

Have you said all that you could about Rugal? Because if that's the case, then I pretty much countered everything. If you still have something up your sleeve, bring it. I have more knowledge about Ryu which you haven't been informed of yet. Also, what's funny is that you're criticizing me of "not knowing that much about a character" when I am at least trying to get information that I should know to be as least bias as possible, whereas you just sit there on your ass and make claims that you apparently can't support.

Does it go with the stipulations of this matchup? Ryu Hayabusa and G. Rugal, and in various settings?
Pretty much you said Rugal has the ability to teleport well so does Murai, and he has some moves where he's invulnerable, yet Ryu overcame him in the end. If you're using a non canonical character to prove a point, then you have lost this battle even before it's begun.

Originally posted by Tha C-Master
Because you weren't convinced with the very limited knowledge you have, that's not my problem. I'm not here to cater to you. Or even *make* you believe anything. You won't budge on Hayabusa as it is anyways.
Non canonical evidence is that right? Well you can dramatize all you want about "God" Rugal and what he can do, since it wouldn't matter either way. You can go to bed and fantasize about Rugal beating Ryu because until you provide evidence of your argument, Rugal ain't winning the match. If you don't think I'll "budge", keep in mind that in the Nightmare versus Devil Jin thread, I was convinced DJ would not win someone who I was initially sided on, and said that he would lose. Can you still say that I'm not going to think Ryu would lose no matter what the outcome of this fight would be? Yeah, as far as I can see, as much as you'll be proved wrong here, you're still going to say Rugal wins and make shit up, and to think that I was going to let you use some non canon shit on me. Pathetic.

So he just stays inbetween the teleport permenantly? Because if he doesn't then it takes a matter of time to initiate and recover. Teleportation is instant travel, so what you are saying is redundent.
You didn't get it. I said it does not take time to do it as in he doesn't take time thinking about where he's going to teleport. For instance, if he saw a sniper bullet coming at him, he would know where to teleport and would teleport out of the way, and appear in another spot instantly. He doesn't recover from it meaning there is no remobilization time, meaning he could keep acting the instant he appears in that other spot. Get it now?

Neither are invurnerable but Game Mechanics are a pain in the ass. G. Rugal uses his move to become invincible, the other is simply a Game Mechanic, such as invincibility while using Super Specials/Combos.
Well that's pretty much a moot argument seeing as how G. Rugal is non canon. Ryu on the other hand is and while the Ninpo invincibility is a game mechanic, he can still teleport at will, or could simply vanish into thin air, and appear wherever he likes, at any time.

*Checks back*

Yeah, it was definitely you who were claiming God Rugal is invulnerable and can stay that way indefinitely, well just to burst your bubble I'm to mention once again that the version of Rugal you're using is non canon, as well as the fact Ryu is capable of being unhittable, due to his ability to vanish and appear wherever and whenever he wishes. Those abilities were displayed in the DOA games. Now you might ask the question, "why then does he get hit in the games?". To tell you the truth, it wouldn't be cinch to kill Nightmare and Dante in the story, but in-game, they have a short health bar that depletes away whenever an opponent hits them with something, being that a sword or a pair of nunchuks. If Ryu willed it, he would never be touched by his opponent.

Originally posted by Tha C-Master
And the same can't be said for your character and his limited use of abilities, and time it takes to charge them. Rugal uses a God Walk very often and will easily God walk out of a powerful move when fighting to the best of his abilities.
Check back where have this countered already. Ryu does not spend his energy teleporting and God Rugal is non canon.

I won't prove that he didn't but I'll prove you wrong nonetheless:

Ryu eventually found Akuma's island (known as Onigami Isle or the Gokuentou) and challenged him. The intense battle that followed ended in a draw; Akuma was impressed as this was the closest he had come to a defeat yet. Telling Ryu to find him again when he had embraced the Satsui no Hadou, Akuma struck his island with a powerful blow (The Kongou Kokuretsu-Zan) and disappeared. The island fell apart around Ryu, who was left in the ocean to contemplate Akuma's words.

I know it's a technique. I'm just saying that if he didn't have the technique, or a move of that sort he wouldn't be able to do it. Now if it said something like Akuma lifted a mountain by his sheer strength then that's a whole nother story, as I gave the example of Feng Wei shattering a mountain with his fist after achieving the God Fist. He does not have the strength to lift a mountain up. Point is, you came to the conclusion that because Akuma destroyed an island, he can manipulate his ki and make island destroying blasts of energy. Do not lower the debate to IFs.

Originally posted by Tha C-Master
The mountain he punched down in Alpha 2 is not Ayers rock, THAT was the special technique. This is a stupid argument, especially when your characters relies on shitloads of magical items to begin with. In some forms of media even Ryu has shown to have power to destroy a mountain. And S. Gouki is more powerful than he was in Alpha 2. It happens very quickly.
Point is you were coming to the conlusion that Akuma destroyed an island with his sheer strength so that must mean he can create energy blasts of the same destructive power, when he never did. In fact, all of those great feats were done by techniques. Yes I said it techniques. Give the God Fist to Feng Wei and he can do what Akuma did.

You have not told me anything that was not on their, so you're basically showing that you're ignorant about what is even listed on the site articles.

Prior to the fight, a swordsmith by the name of Muramasa stated that the true from of the Dragon Sword would prove more than a match for the Dark Dragon Blade. This is about a weapon that holds unimaginable power, and which was existant since the dawn of history. Only the True Dragon Sword's power can counter it and nothing else can. Story-wise, Ryu would not have won if it weren't for the weapon. No doubt he's hard gameplaywise. But in an actual fight against the arguably most powerful form of Rugal no way.

I'll get to this when I wake up. Or I'll just get on topic and stop this filibuster, not sure what kind of mood I'll be in.

What filibuster? Cloud's the only person arguing that Hayabusa can beat God Rugal. I'd think turning Osaka into a burning wreckage would qualify as a good power feat. And that was normal Rugal. God Rugal is considered equal to Shin Gouki, by both SNK&Capcom. Which means he can do anything Shin Gouki can do. Especially because he has some of his moves and power of satsui no hadou, in addition to the orochi power. You have no right, Cloud, to bring up the non-canon arguement. You've argued that Hayabusa can beat him, you're not copping out now.

I'm glad I'm not the only person seeing this, he makes an argument defending a character against another, and then half way through he wants to say it isn't valid. This says several things to me:
1. You are trying to make a cop out.

2. You don't realize that many characters discussed in this forum are secret bosses and characters who have only been in one game without continuity.

3. You don't know much about the character, and are trying to use what I discussed with someone else earlier to make it seem like I'm in the wrong here, because I said this was the character that I was discussing. He still exists and you are trying to make it otherwise to get out of your ass-spanking.

I should also mention that I see nothing in this Vigoor Emperor that God Rugal couldn't annihilate in one super. He probably wouldn't even need a super.

I'm sure you think he fares well against any one of the DOA cast as well right?

I don't think that because SNK & Capcom paired God Rugal with Shin Gouki it means he can do everything Shin Gouki can do. They are still different characters with different power sets, techniques and attitude.

The Vigoor Emperor could literally curbstomp God Rugal, no offense. Only reason Ryu was able to bring the fight to Vigoor with the DDB was because of a Nimpo spell that levitated a small piece of ground beneath Ryu and that allowed him a chance to fight back; otherwise Ryu would have also been literally curbstomped.

People are most likely thinking Rugal will lose becuase he does not posess a massive form, use magic, and weapons. Rugal's chi is more destructive than any Nimpo or weapon in the DOA/NG universe. NORMAL Rugal destroyed an entire city.

Not to mention by saying Hayabusa can beat Rugal, you're saying that Hayabusa can beat the entire KOF 95' cast. Because that's what Omega Rugal was doing. Or that Hayabusa can beat the fatal fury team, or the 96' boss team, or the New face team. Because Rugal can do that too. He's a team buster, and unlike the orochi guys, or the NESTS garbage, he does it with his own power. And not divine power like the orochi or garbage technology like NESTS.

Yeah C-master is kickass. You too Rem. Thanks for helping me out guys.

i disagree with your claim that if Ryu Hayabusa can beat God Rugal then he can beat the entire KOF 95 cast. That's a big number for Ryu, but Rugal is just one, ultimately very very powerful, opponent and Ryu would just need to concentrate on Rugal and not 30 + characters with different powers and fighting abilities, as would be the case of the KOF cast.

Besides the A > B and B > C therefor A > C logic isn't good at all.

No no. I said Omega Rugal did that. Do you understand you are saying that Hayabusa is more powerful than the entire KOF 95' if he can beat Omega Rugal, let alone God Rugal? If the entire KOF 95' cast couldn't stop him, then you are claiming Hayabusa is more powerful. So yes, the A>B>C logic does work here. Do you know how hard it is do something like that? The sheer power and skill needed? This is why Rugal is rivaled with Gouki. Because he's the only KOF boss (outside of Orochi who comes close to Gouki's insane power.

And unlike Gouki, Rugal can be very aristocratic. That's one thing that makes him cool to me. In fact Rugal is like the only reoccurring boss of KOF, he dies and still comes back, showing how powerful he is.

Here it comes, hot and fresh out the kitchen...

I knew it would come to this, after the 3rd or 4th post you got scared of that ass-spanking and now you want to run. I can’t even count the number of things wrong with your flawed up post. You sit here and want to moan and ***** about me not knowing a character, but you’ve proven that you were the one wrong and destitute of knowledge, so now you say I’m arguing a dead argument on something you tried to defend? It takes TWO people to argue. The bottom line is you don’t know much about G. Rugal anyways and he has had very limited showings, so you can’t really give a description anyways, you haven’t listed much at all. You make great leaps of connection and fall short every time, you contradict yourself constantly. I go in another thread and read how you think weaker characters beat Ryu, but then you think G. Rugal can’t? Absurd.

I want to say you do this because you are new and you aren’t familiar with the forums, because even intense fans (like Remy) calm down at one point. But then again you seem to be about 15 years old. It will be worse if you tell me you are in your twenties or something because your logic and comprehension is poor. Honestly I don’t think you so bad, as you do try, but you are so biased that it becomes a pain to tell you anything.

Now sit back, because it’s that time for you to be owned…

Haha, how in the hell did I describe myself? I’m not the one telling everyone they know nothing after reading something off the front of a website that can be adjusted and changed anytime and all the time. Or did you forget that? That’s why wiki is ok but it isn’t to be used as a sole source, and it blatantly shows that you have no experience with what I am talking about, therefore making you less credible anyways.

and you're quite the fool for thinking I do not know much about Soul Calibur, I’m just going by what you say, you sound like fool about something, therefore I assume you are one, you can’t really fault me for that.

let alone the fact that I have admitted Nightmare would beat Devil Jin.
Man, you went on that thread and argued and argued a point over and over that would give Devil Jin a handicap in the match and would not budge on it. And as usual you were the only person in there looking foolish, and as usual you ignore what everyone else says.

I would guess it's you. Seeing how your logic is very skewed I wouldn’t make my guess worth a lot if I were you.

You show that you know nothing of Ryu or Ninja Gaiden since you don't argue about it at all, What haven’t I argued? It’s your job on your side to provide the evidence for your own damned character, didn’t you ask me to do the same damned thing? And not to mention that the Ninja Gaiden version isn’t even applicable in this match and you are still using it… tsk tsk, and you get on me for using “non-canon” which you are copping out of anyways.

whereas I can at least point out SF and KOF character powers and abilities. I know Ryu has the Dark Dragon Blade which feeds on evil, and I know the True Dragon Blade is his most powerful weapon. I know he has magical abilities, and I know he doesn’t use the TDB in DOA, and I even know he has an alternate costume with just his face. He is a top tier character in those games, this has been mentioned and done, and it doesn’t remove the fact that he has been defeated by the female ninjas, and neither of those are more powerful than God Rugal to begin with.

Nice try but try a little harder to prevail next time.
I don’t have to try to prevail against you at all, nor does anyone else here. I’ve prevailed upon the best several times in my past and this is nothing new to me one bit. So don’t act like you have an advantage, because the only one is in your deluded mind.

On the contrary, I say he could take them.

On the contrary I say you contradict yourself far too much.

con·tra·dic·tion - Show Spelled Pronunciation Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. the act of contradicting; gainsaying or opposition.
2. assertion of the contrary or opposite; denial.
3. a statement or proposition that contradicts or denies another or itself and is logically incongruous.
4. direct opposition between things compared; inconsistency.
5. a contradictory act, fact, etc.


The fact of the matter is you make it look like he has little trouble with them, now lets see what the contradiction is below…

That's stating that he can hold his own
Yea, holding his own and “utterly pwning” everything like you make it seem are totally two different things, now you are trying to switch it around to save face, and unfortunately for you, it isn’t working.

and I've yet to be told of an opponent from SF or KOF that is more powerful than the devil Incarnate.
Um, how would Ryu beat Orochi anyways? The morale of the story is: plot devices don’t work, as to why they don’t work is because they go by the basic rules of any story of the hero winning, and therefore aren’t applicable to KMC by it’s rules. Perhaps you should study those sometimes before you enter an argument.

This argument is a hypothetical match between the two known contenders where we compare and contrast their abilities against one another and determine a win. Your plot devices are illogical and thus they don’t count.

Believe it as much as you want but there really isn't anyone from either series that can top his power. And how would he beat Orochi? I’ll be waiting for your explanation on my desk after class.

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
Just what have I been ignoring? You have ignored:

1. The rules: You continue to bring plot devices in play and Ninja Gaiden feats, which are not applicable by this match.
2. The argument that everyone else has brought along: by sideswiping said argument and asking for proof you have really only shown your ability as an escape artist and not a logical debator.
3. Common sense: Do you even read what you say? It doesn’t even make sense, you go and look up a quick site and you think that substitutes for true expertise on a subject, the argument in itself is absurd and not even worth a second thought, but since I’m so nice…

You want to show me something that I think I should know? I want to show you that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about and your logic is so flawed that it makes quoting from point to point like this confusing.

I've read all of your arguments up to this point and countered them all. No you’ve ignored them and made a copout to all of them and contented yourself for the fact that you have countered them, when in fact you’ve only gotten a spanking.

v. spanked, spank·ing, spanks

v. tr.
To slap on the buttocks with a flat object or with the open hand, as for punishment.

v. intr.

I'm pretty sure that I know more about Rugal than you know about Ryu. I’m pretty sure you’re wrong, because you haven’t listed anything about God Rugal really, you just realized you were wrong and then went and tried the non-cannon argument to get out of it.

If you know things about Rugal that you don't think are on Wikipedia, then why don't you go add some information about Rugal?
I haven’t really went and added anything on wiki in awhile, but it’s not my obligation to either (remembers the Duke 3d page), for one I’m hardly on that site, OR this one… I was summoned when I heard the massive amount of fanboy genital fellatio going on with even more fighting game characters. I came as quick as I could and I was hurt by what I saw… it was really a long time since I’ve been home. * sigh *

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
Oh, and as far as I'm concerned God Rugal is non canon so you're pretty much fighting a lost battle. Oh and as far as I’m concerned he was brought up way before I got here and you had no problem arguing him then, now you are just trying to use it as a copout to get out of your just ass spanking… but it’ll be ok, it’ll be over soon. This character is a video game character and can be used in this forum, you are just in the frustration that you can’t convince anyone your lover wins.

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
Yeah I will site here and argue with you until you'll concede, You will “site” here and argue, fanboys have always had problems with their rhetoric.

Just because you keep responding doesn’t mean you have won, it simply means you are in denial.
