Ryu vs Akira Yuki
Ric Flair said it best. "To be the man, you have to beat the man."
The Japanese praticioner of Kung Fu has made a name for himself in Virtua Fighter, but has yet faced the man that would put him on the map should he defeat him.
Street Fighter's Ansatsuken master, Ryu.
Fortunately, Akira finds out that Ryu is in India, visiting Dhalsim. Akira crashes the party and demands a match. Ryu accepts.
Ryu: Third Strike version
Akira: VF4 version

Akira has a lot of power, his reversals are great and not to mention the overall variety in his fighting style.
ryu's hadouken is canonwise suppsoed to be like being hit by a well laid kick so it really isn't as much of a great deal in a fight against good fighters. so hadouken isn't really an advantage.
imo, it'll be a great fight. considering ryu doesn't even have reversals and so great a defense as Akira i think Akira will really school him around. but i can't say he'll BEAT Ryu. this one, like i said before, could go either way and so i'm sticking with stalemate.
Oh? I wasn't aware that the hadouken storywise was given the power of a standard kick... every time i see it it blows shit up... Then we have Super arts...
And while your mentioning reversals, I have two things to remind you of... Alpha Counter, and Parry... So yes, Any striking attack can be counterd by Ryu, and every throw can be tech hit out of.
Now that those misconceptions are out of the way, lets hear some new arguments.
alpha counter isn't exactly a reversal so to speak. he just blocks it and does a sweep/shoryuken. akira has proper reversals which Ryu doesn't, though the simple explanation would be that SF isn't exactly realistic fighting.
as for the throws, akira can do the same too, just without the flashiness and sparks etc.
You'd better be able to explain the Shankunetsu, Denjin And Shinkuu Hadouken's then, because all of them are stronger than the standard hadouken, and two of them several times over, plus they have elemental attachments. (IE, fire and electical effects that light opponents up on impact)
this logically says to me that they arn't JUST an extention of a physical attack...
The Alpha Countrer is still a counter if you want to go that road and use the argument in a debate, you have to accept that the opponent has them as well, although in this case, Ryu's counters are very different.
The throws... You said Akira can counter throws, I said Ryu can tech hit out of them, so I asked what the difference was?
That assertation demands that you prove it before people accept it Asthar, I've already stated opening arguments above, if what your saying is true, then you should have no trouble explaining the various damage indicators and elemental additions that arn't found in any of Ryu's other attacks.

What is it Akira can do that Ryu can't? In the movies and manga I've never seen Hadouken hit something and not destroy it unless it was a worthy foe. If the Hadouken is equal to a kick then in the SF 2, Alpha and Generations movies why were the oppenents hurt and defeated by Hadoukens and not a normal kicks? If the Hadouken is equal to a kick then Ryu's got 1 hell of a kick.
