Sure. First "KOF" champ if going by the original storyline. Defeated Mr Karate and Geese Howard, more offensive game than Ryu and overall i like him the best.
The version im using its obviously the original one whos is at least 10 years older than Terry and is currently if going by the late games of the francise been taking the mantle of the new Mr Karate.

Ryu would Shinshoryuken Ryo into oblivion, then go after Yuri for ripping off Ansatsuken's moves.

I'll 2nd that motion. Ryo is pretty much outclassed in this fight. The Haoushokoken gets beat by the shinku Hadoken in CVS2. Tested it myself. The Ryuko ranbu is powerful, but would get trapped by the shinku tatsumaki. And the tenchi haou punch would fail against the shin shoryuken. The tenchi haou btw, does not connect at point blank range. The punch goes through the opponent and misses despite passing by their head most of the time. Ryu takes this one.

Ryu finds Yuri.
Ryu: Steal Ansatsuken's moves, will ya? Shinshoryuken!
KRACK! KA-POW!
Yuri: Otousan, gomen!
THUD.

-Ryo has one move that takes as much as shin sho ryu ken if timed right. And when that isn't bad enough it even leaves the opponent graugy for further attacks.
-Ryo's haoh-shiko-ken is like 5 times Ryu's shinkuu hadouken and WAY faster. its like a brick wall rushing at you.
-Ryo has more than 3 moves. zanretsuzan, the jumping karate chop a a few more. more variety. Ryu has no variation in his moves. same old stuff that Ryo is OH SO familiar with. he has moves that Ryu's NEVER seen.
-his throws are deadlier (reverse valley drop will hurt like hell, folks)
-Ryo is faster if not also stronger. but definitly faster. compare their speeds in the VS series.
-his Ryokorenbu is like a blur and before you know it he's in front of you.
-Ken is similar to Ryo in some respects and Ken DID defeat Ryu on two occassions.
also shin-sho-ryu-ken is 3 hits. Ryo's big punch is one hit. not to mention the fact that Ryu's shinshoryuken is over rated like hell by the SF fanboys and girls. Shinshoryuken, canonwise, couldn't even topple Hugo....hugo that loser from Final Fight.
he beat a very young Geese though. Geese was almost as old as Ryo himself so wasn't really a great feet since Geese was not even half as strong then.
Notice also how Geese is more or less unconcerned about Ryo.

Trying to compare in game stuff is pretty pointless, since you can beat any character with...any character. Even with that if we use the in game abilities Ryo does posses more versability. Easily.
About Geese. I think the feat its accordingly myself. Young Geese was good enough at the time to defeat Jeff Bogard. Ryo was good enough to defeat Mr Karate and Big. They both gotten stronger in the actual timeline.
Geese was older tho. In the AOF days Ryo he was in his 20`s.
err sorry but...you talkin to me?
well if you are i wasn't actually comparing them in game...i was just mentioning that shinshoryuken IS in fact a 3 hit move (elbow, punch, shoryuken) while ichigekihisastsu (as the name would suggest) is a "deadly one hit".
Geese was 26 during AoF 2....though how a 26 would become a police comissioner is beyond me. but heck, its a game so who cares.
Big is by no means equal to Geese that is why he always tried to take out Geese by shooting him or otherwise. he knows he can't beat him one-on-one....though i am not taking away anything from Ryo. In fact him beating Mr. Karate itself is commendable to the max since M.K is a real *****. props for the "invincible dragon".
Oh boy... Hugo is no pushover in terms of physical durability.... Your perspective is this, "Ryu couldn't KO Hugo in a single hit therefore Ryu is weak" Whereas if you try another perspective, you might get "Ryu couldn't KO Hugo in a single hit, therefore Hugo is stronger than I thought..."
Don't be so bias please, nortmal people don't take to kindly to fanboys here...
i'm being a fanboy? i don't think so.
how about another perspective:
Ryu couldn't KO Hugo with his STRONGEST move while Cody/Haggar/Guy has beaten him and so ryu isn't that strong as his fanboys say he is.
i'm not taking anything from Ryu but shedding light on his abiligy since some people seem to put him on godtier status.
and for the record shinshoryuken is 3 hits since he does three punches (elbow, big punch, shoryuken)
Sorry, but that doesn't prove a thing, since not even 3 piledrivers from haggar could defeat Hugo or any other Andore clone you could name...
And I didn't specifically call you a fanboy, Nor did I claim that Ryu is a top tier character, in fact, Ryu is third tier... there are only 4 characters who occupy the top tier, and those are Akuma, oro Gill and the Psycho Drive strengthened M.Bison.
