Ryu vs Terry Bogard

I think this should have been the REAL rivalry for Capcom vs SNK since both seem to share simularity's. So what do you guys think on this match up. Personally I am a Terry fan and I also like Ryu. It's hard for me to decide so iI hope this will be a good discussion.

I think Terry has been more self-reflective since his vengeance on Geese in the FF1 days.. and personally I find that to make him a stronger willed fighter (having that hungry wolf spirit and all). This opinion of course comes from a combination of the fatal fury endings and the animated videos

Ryu is great and all.. but Terry fighting Krauser in that great hall with the orchestra is too grand to forget

and didnt ken have to grab bisons feet for ryu to land a hurricane kick? 😬

I think Terry has got this one. Terry has kind of bowed out of the SNK limelight so Kyo can have his little series (which I hate) but Terry will always be the seasoned Vet on the KoF circuit. I think he can take Ryu.

no, ryu had the power of the dark hadou, which was probaly stronger than terrys hungry wolf spirit , but ryu rejected the drak hadou and achieved a power even bigger.Terry real power looks like comes from his anger , but sun tzu and ju bei liuang , two of the greatest war masters in all time have already said:A true warrior doesnt fight with anger , he fight with skill, and ryu is a character based on that point of view.Terry is not even SNK strongest hero, because kyo kusanagi is stronger than him, and ryu rivalizes with kyo.

I give it to Ryu.

Hmm...I would not say Kyo is SNK'S strongest hero either. The only reason he is so powerful is because his freaking bloodline and that Kusanagi dna. Terry has way more heart and skill than Kyo anyday of the week.

Back to the topic....I still am not sure about Terry and Ryu though....I personally think it might end in a draw or with Terry winning barley.

nah, kusanagi is snk main symbol, he may not be the strongest one, but he is stronger than terry, his freaking dna makes him stronger as you just said.Terry trained to avenge his father death at first, and after he is training to improve his ability, ryu trained all his life to improve his abilities and avenge his master death, they have almost the same motivation and will.But ryu is a lot more exp and has a lot more tech than terry.

Ryu is not more experinced, Terry has also been trainning since he was little. I think they are both good fighters, but I give the fight to Ryu after a long battle.

but ryu is older than terry, and ryu trained with one of the greatest warriors of all times ,gouken.Terry trained by himself and some help from that tong guy

Meaning he is not shit without his DNA. As I said Terry is more skilled and he devolped his own techniques. And besides Kyo sucks as SNK'S main symbol...Terry and Haohamru are way better representatives than Kyo anyday.

And please this is Terry vs Ryu not Terry vs Kyo. Why dont you make a post having Terry vs Kyo...I am interested on what alot of the folks have to say.

i was just trying to say that terry wouldnt stand a chance against a guy with the power of ryu

Yeah I think Terry is cooler but like you said Ryu rivals Kyo who stronger than him but Terry should give him a run for his money and we all know Terry would kick Ken's ass 😄

maybe terry is stronger than ken, but dont understimate ken, ken would cause terry the same trouble as krauser

But remember Ken cant beat Ryu he is always second runner up. While Terry if not for Kyo is like Snk's flagship character so I dont think Ken could beat him 😄

maybe, but ken already beat ryu, if you want to see i can show you the site.And terry is always the second one since he doesnt win any KOF torunament since kyo and iori had enetered it

I personally think terry is more like Ken than Ryu

Yeah, Ken does have a life outside of fighting.

Ryu and Ken has also learned techniques on there on as well though.
