only a few months ago you actually agreed with me on this one. sorry, dude, but now i'm skeptical at your remark.
....and KoF94 came out when exactly?
again AoF1 and AoF2, FF2 had the concept of "a special move that takes a chunk of the opponent's life" TWO YEARS before SSF2T. what are you even trying to argue, emperor. I can't make it simpler now.
AoF1 and Aof2 had the spirit meter which upon being full when the players life was in danger meant that a hidden super combo could be unleashed...............capcom becomes "innovative" by having a superbar. please. again AoF1 and FF2 do that TWO years before SF.
...sorry but don't see your point.
the deathmove idea came first.....so it is what is truly innovative, emperor. And all of SNK games? not really. all the fatal furies and the Art of fighting games didn't use that idea till later. also KoF has the "charging" system which is their own idea. you can charge your gauge and do specials......and continously do it when your life is red. that thing remained in KoF universe from KoF94 all the way till KoF98. so...no dice emperor.
it doesn't matter if they were terrible or not. i never denied that SF invented special moves. i am however denying that the concept of "a huge move that does bigtime damage" is theirs....as it is clearly an idea that SNK came up with. sugar coat it all you want but its a fact and i want you to acknowledge it. you can talk all night of specail gauges and spirit gauges...fact of the matter is: SNK came up with the idea and Capcom borrowed it and modified it somewhat. the IDEA was SNK's.
it seems to me that you have a problem admitting that people have their own point of views. you think he "obviously" wins in fights that i dont see him winning. someone tells me he beats Jin and I pointed out almost 10 reasons why he wont. you tell me he can solo the entire cast of KoF and i can sit down and give your reasons as to why not till your grandson graudates. THAT my friend is opinion...not hate. and before you start, I've said Ryu wins in many threads and I've said Terry loses in many threads too. all it boils down to, is opinions.
when someone tells me crap like "Ryu will beat akuma" or "Ryu will win against the entire cast of KoF" his reputation as a fanboy is already established. if i come up there and say Terry is beating a chick who can shoot beams of ki and take down a battalion of fighter aircrafts with ninpo or whatever, feel free to call me a fanboy. but fact of the matter is you wont hear the crap from my mouth. also if i say "hahahahaha, terry pwns x, because her game sucks", feel free to call me a fanboy too. but if i tell you that Jin will beat down Ryu....i will give you reasons.
you are free to point out where i've NOT given reasons and if what you say is true you'll have me apologize.
your opinion and i can respect it. but why i don't see this happening now or ever is simple:
-ryu lost to Ken who is a tier below him.
-ryu cannot even beat Sagat who is on the same tier as him or a little better
-ryu can't KO Hugo who despite everyting is only a midtier character
what it boils down to is this:
-if ryu can't beat someone weaker than him (ken) how in the world is he going to defeat, say, Terry who was able to defeat people like Krauser, Geese and Nightmare Geese and hold his own against people like Iori, Kyo, Ryo, etc.
-if ryu can't beat Sagat, how is he beating someone like Iori who is stronger than Goenitz (who was the boss character of KoF96 and with a glimpse of his power turned the whole city to rubble).
-if ryu can't KO a human being (and i don't care how much lard Hugo has on him...he's still human) how is he going to KO demigods and gods like Igniz, Orochi, Goenitz, Orochi new Face team and advanced humanbeings who do screen filling supers by just clenching their fists (Zero).
No...remulus said Ryu will hold his own against a werewolf from a series which has its powerlevels so high the characters of KoF and SF will break their backs just trying to see it.
correction: remulus again and even darko if memory serves me correct. people like TP and Shinremy insist that they hate ryu, and yet claim that Tekken characters are not even in the same ballpark and say that Ryu will solo hte entire cast....kinda like you regarding what you said about ryu and the kof cast.
and yet almost everyone in this forum seems to think that Ryu can curbstomp almost anyone from the KoF series, Tekken series......in fact you yourself claimed that Ryu can solo the KoF roaster. i rest my case. Look i respect your opinon too and if you feel ryu can pwn the entire cast of KoF then fine...but don't expect me to sit there cuz i will argue that point with you.
i can repsect that.
