I am cool with your analysis and said that I like Ryu. We both know our boy's but I still disagree with the Ryu better focusing more on the fight. Yes Terry does other things outside Fighting BUT in the games and not the anime he likes to play basketball and he trains more still and so that he took a certain little Rock Howard under his wing.
I think after Terry avenged his fathers death, he's slowly been learning about the other things in life. He hasnt given up fighting by a long shot, still trains, and still competes, but he's lost the "have to win" drive, the hero quality. He's taking it easy and havin fun.
About what? about Terry being Ryu's Rival instead of Kyo? Well the fact is that Kyo IS Ryu's rival in every game that features SNK and Capcom characters... while Terry deals with Ken.
Don't get me wrong, Terry is a definite cool character, the original "Hungry Wolf" and perhaps the coolest hero to grace the fighting game scene... but lets face it, SNK has shoved him aside in favor of Kyo (Who incidentaly got pushed aside himself recently for K'... 😛 )
I personally would love to see a full blown match bitween Terry and Ryu because they are remarkably similar.

The only difference is Kyo got back his spot from K and I dont know how well Ash Crimson is going to do.
I think SNK just didnt want an American to be their flagship character, which I can respect. SNK probably wanted KoF to be its own franchise, with its own hero, where as Terry has his own franchise, as well as Ryo.
Wait, wait. Ryu vs Kyo, flag ship characters on the same level
Terry vs Ken, similarly strong characters, so that means..........
Dan vs Ryo, Dan is as strong as Ryo!

Dan isn't close to Ryo!
no they arent , he never get closed to him, he lost to sakura , and sakura wnats to be ryus pupil.And of course ryu has fought many stronger guys than terry for a lot more time.He fought at the street fighter tournaments a lot sooner than terry start fighting his king of fighters tournaments.And i can surely say that fighting with some guys from some gangs doesnt give much experience compared to fight in a dojo with the greates master

I agree with the with not wanting an American to be the lead part but I am not to cool with it and Terry and Ryu have more in common. Also the resason why I personally think Kyo got over was because Terry and Ryo both appear in KOF as well as manyother FF and AOF characters. If the were not in "KOF" Kyo sure as well wouldnt be getting the superstar status that he does.
I like both Ryu and Terry. Ryu never gave in to the Dark Hadou and if he did, he would've been just like Akuma. Yes, we know that Ryu has fought and train with Ken over and over again, but I feel that makes them stronger that way every time by fighting the same person. You guys are right, Ryu and Terry are very similar and this battle will really be a close one. Terry has been in the streets and has gotten alot of experience from that and Ryu has gotten alot of experience from that also by traveling around the world by himself. Ryu wants to fight opponents that will give him a Great challenge and can match his power the same with Terry also. Terry has fought Geese and Ryu has fought Bison. Do you guys think Akuma and Krauser will put up a good challenge with one another?

Gotta love it when people get serious about saying Dan is stronger than someone.
