Evil Ryu has a lot of problems. Inability to focus, susceptible to blows... Normal Ryu would have a much better chance of winning, but for all intents and purposes the two were even, despite having different advantages over one another (Ken's Dragon punch mastery, Ryu's fireball mastery, etc. Ken tends to go berserk more often and has longer reach, but Ryu is a cool fighter and probably has more practice.)
My vote goes to Ryu, but barely.

Actually, thinking about it, this can go either way.
Ken and Ryu are equal even as of SF II, which takes place well after ALpha series. And evil Ryu technically doesn't exist, since Ryu rejected the Satsui no Hado.
