It's not debatable at all. Ryu can only hope to match Slade's speed, not exceed it. Slade's reflexes are instantaneous, not nigh, almost, or possibly. They are. In addition to this, he is superhumanly swift of bodily movement with a certain degree of makeshift precog. Ryu cannot beat Slade in a test of speed without resorting to the fact that he is a video game character.If you want to throw time spent fighting into the picture, Slade has been fighting as a professional soldier with his powers and abilities since the Vietnam War.
Understand that what I'm telling you is ryu at his MAX.
Deathstroke's superhuman reflexes and speed are a LARGE factor, but this alone isn't much different from spiderman, and he doesn't have a precognitive sense nor the strength of peter.
Ryu isn't as STRONG or AS fast as spiderman or perhaps deathstroke in terms of lifting and running, but in EXTREME practice he is allowed to channel his chi into superhuman levels of awareness, power, and is able to center the chi around him and direct that into a destructive blast. This is known as the hado, it isn't concussive, like Cyclop's optic blast, but it is a PURE energy wave, that destroys everything along with him in the environment.
This being said, at this point of skill and training of ryu that allows him to break tidal waves and mountains. You must imagine his subconscious ability of superhuman awareness and his versatility with his chi.
He can attack faster and hit harder than any on the roster. He fights against characters that teleport, and rely on his instinct and skill to nail these fighters.
I wouldn't use the game example, ever. That is ryu at one of his weakest. He moves very slow, and only shoots attacks and chi in fixed ways.
Ryu can make energy on his fist, whirlwind a kick around him to suck up matter, and of course launch chi into the atmosphere.
With this being mentioned, yes, slade is experienced. Ryu is a prodigy. He has the gift, and spends EVERY DAY of his life, pushing himself to the limits, climbing islands and mountains barefoot. He has an extreme discipline, adn only by that, is he able to do superhuman feats. Its batman x100 at least.

What's this about beating Akuma? As far as I can recall in the SF comic series, Ryu had his ass handed to him by Akuma whilst backed by Ken, but maybe he has since I last read.
No, excuse me I've been vague again. Ryu has yet to beat akuma, but he WILL, and can at his max, I'm arguing that. I've already mentioned at his weakest showings, that he'd be dog food. Thos points were against paeng, who thought otherwise for the other team at first.
Akuma is over ryu nowk, but he know's ryu will beat him at his max.
Sorry this took awhile, my shit computer died.
