He wouldn't need the Dark Dragon blade to perform those feats. Ayane destroyed the Doatec building which consisted of 3 towers with her Nimpo and Hayabusa is Ayane's superior in every way. Also Hayabusa can run on water, dodge bullets from all kind of weapons & vehicles such as heavy turrets from choppers and rocket lunchers. Hayabusa also took down the Tengu using his barehands(DOA tourny) and he jokes with people like Jann Lee who have been seen knocking out T-Rexes in two blows, imagine what he will do to the normal thugs Ryu owns in the Alpha movie.

The towers were already blowing up because of the self destruct mechanism. Also that Nimpo took an extremly long amount of time to use. Ryu by now can do the same amount of damage if not more instantly. Gouki sunk an island with no magic Nimpo, useing a single punch, this was all the way back in Alpha 2. Ryu is much stronger than that version of Gouki by now. Ryu can definently kick Balrog's ass and Balrog knocked out an elephant with ONE punch. Not to mention he survived in fight against a guy who shatters incoming comets when Ryu was in his early 20's. How in the hell can Haybusa even compare to that with out the Dragon Sword?

About the debate on the self-destruct and Ayane's Nimpo I'd rather not talk about since it's confusing enough as it is. However the Nimpo did take some time(not really that long as some DOA haters make it seem), but the thing is it was Ayane who used it not, Hayabusa and he has shown time and time again to be her superior. Without delay Ryu's Nimpo shot down a huge aircraft and without effort might I add. Also in SFAlpha it did take Ryu 2 Hadoukens to damage the building the way he did, and it wasn't even completely destroyed. Ryu's nimpo is also far more versatile than Ryu's Hadou. Ryu can fall off giant cliffs and get back on his feet as if nothing happened, I am pretty sure he can withstand island shattering punches IF they hit him given he is Ryu's superior in speed plus he has teleportation. And finally Ryu does not equal the Dark Dragon Blade; if Hayabusa were to use the Dark Dragon Blade this wouldn't even be a contest.

The Nimpo still took too long, Ryu would have killed her before the move was executed.If Akuma sunk an island way back in Alpha 2 and Ryu by now is several times stronger I think Ryu wouldn't have a hard time destroying an air craft, hell, he could destroy it with a punch.With the Alpha movie, the point I'm trying to make is Ryu created all this destruction and feats in his young and reckless days, Ryu is several time stronger now, Imagine what he can do to a building or human now that he is older and experienced, Not only that but Ken and Ryu destroyed Bison's air craft with normal Hadoukens. Bisons air craft is much larger than those shown in DOA. BTY, this was in SF2, Ryu is much much stronger than that seeing how the SF2 Ryu is equal if not lesser than Alpha's Dark Ryu.

Now now when was it confirmed that the SF 2 anime is canon? I said Ryu can unleash devastating Nimpo in an instant as seen in his DOA4 ending. Ryu can also surround himself with fireballs that will make Hayabusa invulnerable for a time and will burn anything that makes contact with them. As I said earlier Hayabusa's nimpo is far more versatile than Ryu's hadou, and while Ryu may have island shattering punches he still lacks the speed to actually hit Hayabusa, and even then Hayabusa can teleport out of harm's way.
Nothing says this is without the use of weapons, and like I already said, Tengu, Genra, DOATEC's most powerful creation, Ayane, Hayate, Raidou, and Ryu are DOA's powerhouses and could take SF.

It doesn't mean Kasumi > SF, but it does mean she is a powerhouse and not to be taken lightly. I don't think he implied kasumi would WTFOWN every SFer.
It may be annoying to read Ryu will slaughter 3/4 of the cast with his weapons, but hey it's the truth
