If Ryu manages to launch a suprise hadouken and blast the sword out of Clouds hands and far away from him, he stands a good chance...
otherwise.... Cloud rushes in and starts slicing....Ryu dodges one or two of the swipes then catches Clouds sword with the palms of both hands, stunning Cloud. This gives Ryu a small window of opportunity to shoryuken Cloud.
Cloud flies backwards through the air and smiles...he actually felt that one...right before he launches an omnislash and cuts Ryu to pieces.
Cloud wins, but it aint a total stomp like er body sayin, the decidin factor in this fight is that 1 dude fights wit his bare hands and the other guy has several giant swords which he can weild pretty easily.
Cloud wins but if it was a fist fight Cloud'll be lookin for his teeth when it's all said and done AND this thread has been made before...
So yea, Cloud takes it.

Don't underestimate Cloud without his sword, hes still a superhuman, at the end of AC he's the most powerful SOLDIER (besides Sephiroth), and he's ATLEAST as skilled as Zack
and Zack was able to do this without his sword, could Ryu?
That means absolutely nothin AND Cloud is not Zack, when I see Cloud fight in H2H and win, I'll try to compare him to Zack then.
Lol, I was an innocent by stander in a drive by (several times) and I managed to run around enough to not get hit. When Zack can move so fast that he can actually see the bullet and only move the body part that's gonna get hit while runnin up on the guy, then gimmie a call, that was still a nice vid tho.
Yup and the difference in that is, Zack died later on, Ryu dodged bullets from like 3 feet away from the gun and then won pretty easily. Unlike zack...who died.
And what the hell does Zack have to do wit this?
Does Zack have a respect thread, he needs one?

Its called using logic
Cloud > Zack, Cloud is everything Zack was, and more, after Zack died, the low class SOLDIER(Cloud) picked up the buster sword, and assumed Zacks role, Cloud gained Zacks skill and some memories, why do you think Cloud has all of Zacks moves, etc?
.... That was a horrible comparison, theres a difference between not being hit by a drive by, and dodging MULTIPLE machine gun fire at MULTIPLE people aiming at you from all directions
Show me Ryu dodging machine gun fire from all directions that easy, Zack died from saving Cloud, Ryu wouldnt even last against a SOLDIER, Zack was basically taking on the entire Shinra army, and almost did it too
Because we don't see Cloud using H2H, but we've seen Zack, and we know that Cloud is ATLEAST Zacks skill + more.
Both are super strong, both have super endurance, both seem to defy gravity with super jumps/leaps but sword > human flesh. If cloud had a blunt weapon like a staff Ruy would win loads of effort. If Cloud had no weapon Ruy would walk over him.
