Lord Ryugen
Ryu the wandering Streetfighter against Liu Kang. Defender of Earth against Shao Khan. Who wins this fireball throwing fight to the finish?
dark1365
Liu Kang.
The chosen one.
Ryu has awesome energy balls, but Liu's fireballs are gifted to him by the elder gods.
azndrgn
Liu Kang cuz his martial art form is faster. Ryu's form is slower in the games
SaTsuJiN
Ryu.. he studied karate in the mountains for god knows how long.. and you've gotta be a tough ass to walk on all kinds of pavement with no shoes
Winning scene.. liu kang goes for a bicycle kick, and ryu does a shin shoryuken to finish the battle..
Lord Ryugen
I've got to say Ryu myself. Although he's slower he definitly has the better fighting style and Liu's speed won't be that much of a factor, Ryu's beaten fast opponents before, Vega anyone? And if the fights going bad he can bust out some super combos on Liu's skinny ass.
FallenArchAngel
Yeh I agree Ryu is really cool definatly the better out of the two
Lord Ryugen
Yep, Ryu definately wins. He's stronger, better trained, and push him to far and the dark hado takes over and turns him into Evil Ryu. At which point there won't be enough of Liu left to fill a match box.
PunisherFan33
lui would woop Ryus ass
azndrgn
I said Liu Earlier, but now I favor Ryu cuz I forgot his massive fireball when his special meter is fully charged.
ScarFace Clone
Kang all the way
dark1365
Kang's been resurrected HOW many times now, shows how much the elder gods depend on him.
Lord Ryugen
Yeah but Ryu only has to knock him out. so resurrection isn't really that big a problem for him.
dark1365
That big energy ball of Ryu's travels pretty slow...hell, Liu has the time to quickly eat a sandwich and then jump over it.
Lord Ryugen
Yeah but the fire ball's really just a setup to get them in the air for a Dragon Uppercut or as I remember Ryu lovingly calls it. SO-RYO-KEN
ChickinMeat
Definatly Liu Kang, everyone seems to forget that he has the ability to turn into a dragon, ryu can not
Lord Ryugen
Yeah but he only does it for a killing move. But hey I'll allow it.
SaTsuJiN
he doesnt do anything with the dragon besides bite.. so ryu would just use a denjin hadoken to stun him.. then he can do whatever he feels like.. I believe ryu defeated Gil in street fighter 3 (a demigod)
Lord Ryugen
Well that's news to me. Ryu taking down Demi Gods? I'm starting to pity Liu

his super move is resurrection
Lord Ryugen

Dude...Liu's screwed

SF3 wasnt as good as I'd hoped. But Double Impact and 3rd strike Absolutely rocked"!!!
Lord Ryugen
Man I can't beleive this is a draw.
CorderaMitchell
Not anymore, Ryu kills kang, by miles and miles.
Hoshi
ryu kick lius sorry ass all the way , liu has a fireball and ryu has a an energy ball made of chi the energy that can make and destroy everything , liu has a bycicle kick and ryu has the hurricane kick(i am pretty sure a twister is stronger than a bycicle) , liu can become a dragon , and ryu can become one of the evil energy comander with the power of the dark hadou...liu is dead
CorderaMitchell
he's died enough already it isn't new to him.

Well no body deafeated Gill in SF yet. But Thats the kind of beings Ryu is up against. Can't wait for the next SF.

CorderaMitchell

Hoshi

Nobody defeated Gill.
Ryu:
During the timeline established in SF2, Ryu was focused on finding increasingly stronger challenges to test his skills against. In Street fighter 3 he desires to answer much deeper questions, such as "what is a true warrior?" and "What is there beyond the fury of battle?" in order to enlighten himself.

Hmmmmmmmmm, what is the date on it, and I hope it plays faster than third strike, although the game was great.

They never gave a date. All I know is they left alot of stuff unanswer in 3rd Strike.

JacopeX
Liu Kang would win period.
CorderaMitchell
Why because you like him more?
Hoshi
dvampire where i can find a storyline , i am really looking foward to find it?
Hoshi

Try picking up UDONS Street Fighter: Eternal Challenge book, it has every thing you need to no about SF. They even have interviews with Capcom.

CorderaMitchell
You couldn't find it? its a great forum website.

Yeah it is a good website.

CorderaMitchell
mean kids though.
dvampire
Yeah some of them are rude on that website.

CorderaMitchell
This website is a good warm up for it.........
LeAtHerRFace
Great matchup... they are my two fav characters from both fighting worlds (sf and mk) but id have to go with Ryu
CorderaMitchell
he is simply more powerful.
Hoshi
and can focus better
CorderaMitchell
And has a better desire to win...
Hoshi
in other words, he is far more stronger
Evil_Ryu
Ryu wins enough said
CorderaMitchell

by brainchild81 in the MKvsKIvsSF thread, poll there too...........
Darkstorm Zero
I think Ryu would take this one. Kang has alot on his shoulders and has the favours of Rayden, but Ryu's power and potential for expansion far supercede that.
CorderaMitchell
I think ryu could beat raiden, definitrely akuma.
legacy92
wut ever happend to Joker woo would fite for Mk no matter wut situation i neva see him anymore ...
unrealman
Well Alex did beat Gill, but Gill let him win.
Joker1237
Kang is 2 fast for Ryu,
And if Kang was under MY controll, I would not allow Kang 2 be set up for the dragon punch.
Kang as the speed over Ryu. and Ryu is tone down a LOT in later games. So even speeders like Vega could beat Ryu. and Vega in the games, a SKILL Vega player should have no problem with a Ryu player.
No Kang has no claws lol. But that flying kick could go over Ryu's fireball and hit him in the jaw. That move could catch any one off guard.
Hoshi
if you are talking about game mechanics maybe, but in the games even dan or birdie can beat ryu .Lius b kick wouldnt be anything faster than ryu has already seen, ryu never let his guard down , he focus in the fights more than anyone , and in a theorical fight ryu can dodge bullets easily and can hit more than 15 times and the victim will only be able to notice it after some seconds.Ryu is faster , stronger , has better technichies.
Sonic x 20
I agree with Hoshi. Every battle that ryu has been in, he's always Focused except for that battle with Ken because there was something bothering Ryu at the time.
Joker1237
the B kick is decent speed, the flying kick, is the fast move for Kang here. Kang can knock a fighter down with it, when a fighter wobbles or doing a fireball, or Ice ball lol.
Hoshi
the b kick can work well , but the shin shoryuken can work a lot better if we are talking about counter attack, even if liu fly over ryus hadouken he would just do a shin shoryuken while liu is doing his b kick
Joker1237
Ryu has slow recovery time with his fireball,
Vega can just hope over a fireball, claw him and hop back. I can see Kang useing the flying kick to go over the fireball and nailing Ryu before he recovers from it.
Hoshi
i think you are refeering too much about the game mechanics .Because if you see in the anime , ryu can dodge his hadouken when it was conter by the android .But in the games ryu couldnt dodge his own hadouken if it was reflected to him.
Xplosive
Ryu in every aspect, he is also faster.
Hoshi
faster ,stronger, more experience, can focus better , has more powerfull moves, has a better style ,has more tech ,etc.
Mako Victim
If I was to put my money on someone I'd put it on Ryu, he seem's alittle more focused and a tad stronger
legacy92
Ryu is NOT faster he Liu is
Ryu Simply jus knows and sees wuts gonna happen next thats why is able to dodge da bullets he sees dem hes not fast though IMO he well again jus knows wuts gonna happen instinct or he kan see dem but in Offense Liu is faster ..IMO
Hoshi
ryu can punch a guy 15 times and that same guy will only notice the punchs after a few moments
magacj
I'm sry even with all these facts I still couldn't see Lui Kang losing to Ryu he's the man that Lui Kang Ryu is awesiome also but he'll never match up to a Lui Kang...I mean he could probably shoot two fireballs at Ryu before Ryu would even think about thinking lol
dvampire
Ryu wins. He's stronger, faster, his moves are better and more devastating, he's beaten stronger opponents, and is a better MAs.
magacj
ok but in the end there's no real way to know for sure....it would be somehitng special to watch a fight between them. I mean logically people would favor superman over wonder woman in a fight to the death but wonder woman won in the comics somehow because of her stupid close range combat BS. so if they did a fight like that with Lui Kang and Ryu it would be somehitng
Hoshi
but in every aspect ryu is superior from liu kang , not much , but a small difference will define the winner.

Wow Ryu must be really weak.
j/k
SmashBro
Liu Kang wins. He has defeated alot of powerful opponents. As someone said earlier, he's also the faster fighter. He'll beat Ryu.
Violent2Dope
Liu Kang faster than Ryu? I demand an explanation for that bullshit.

Compare Ryu's spinning kick to Liu Kang's bicycle kick or the flying kick. Liu Kang's kicks are obviously faster. The only advantage is the fact that Ryu has anti-air attack (Shoryuken) but that doesn't give much of an edge since Liu Kang himself can shoot fireballs while in the air.
