ken fans are starting to get as rabid as wolverine ones

play sf3 : 3rd strike.. see the difference (its most recent).. I dont care about old crap like alpha saying they're equal... 3rd strike is most recent.. and in turn more relevant

* err... im not a fanboy, if that's what you're trying to imply...

* i just said "Ken never loses to anyone"... my bad, it's wrong... 😮

* 3rd strike plot guide also states that Ken won the U.S. martial arts championship for the 3rd time... Ryu is such a proud jerk, just because he is training with Oro now, doesn't mean he can degrade Ken... well, Ken has a family to return to, while Ryu - in the future - will eventually die in the hands of a more powerful opponent... i pity you, Ryu... enjoy your victories as much as you can... 😛

I'm not so sure Ryu will fall to a More Powerful Opponent, especially when he Finally Becomes Maxed Out Ryu.

* negative, dude... in the future, someone more powerful will eventually defeat "the great" Ryu...

* for example... Oro can defeat Ryu, but rather he chooses Ryu to be his student...

You have any plot guide links? I'd really like to beef up my knowledge on who's beat up who in the actual storylines.

* heh, you've stuck to ken in 2 threads... but I called you a 'fan' because 'fanboy/girl' is much to derogatory for my tastes

* Indeed...

* So... ken beating a few punks in the U.S. is supposed to equate him to ryu?.... me thinks not..

* Ryu is 'not' a proud jerk.. if anything that suits kens attitude about his own skill level just perfectly. Ryu's attitude is more about learning from a fight than to hope for constant win streaks

* yeah... i posted on two Ken threads, because i'm not familiar with the other game characters in the forum and cannot express my own opinion in cases i don't know...

* not against Ryu but, how about a 'desperate' jerk? why? because the way the killent intent urges him is to feel really desperate to win a battle... talk about 'by hook or by crook', Ryu wants to win it all... again, IMO Ryu will lose to a more powerful fighter in the future, 'coz that's what his road of destiny has become, provided his stubborn nature of traveling around the globe, fight worthy opponents, and be the greatest... 😕

Ryu vs Ken. Ryu always win. it depends in an aracade game if i use ken i could defeat ryu. if used ryu i could defeat ken... hehehehe. i think Ryu will win for sure... if you does'nt agree lets settle this on arcade... it will prove something hehehehe....

Ryu was the only one of the two during the SF motion picture, that remembered his master saying "you must go beyond victory"... while ken sortof lusted for the next win, which is why he became an easy target for M.bison in the film.

I would imagine that happens to all fighters.. there's always someone stronger.. but you have to meet the person in order to be defeated.. that hasnt happened to ryu yet

they were equal till the end of alpha!!! ken stopt cause he had a family to take care while ryu has the time of the world to train!!

in street fighter 3 was ryu better then ken

ryu is also not the strongest, that is his path becomeing the strongets and take reveange on th murderer who killed his master

In Street Fighter III : 3rd strike, Ryu is more powerful... while ken is all about speed... I think in like 5 consecutive hits or somwheres around there ryu can knock you dizzy.. ken it takes double..
to compare their damage types I'd say it would be like :

Ken : 20 hit super combo 30 damage

Ryu : 3 hit shin-shoryuken 45 damage

also, for their hurricane kicks.. ken will bust out a 5 peice combo that wont knock his enemy down.. where ryu knocks them down on the first spin.. so I'd say thats quite powerful

ryu is explosive in his subtlety, while ken is always making up for his lack of technique by speed

HAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT
RYU AND KENS SPIN KICK ARE EVEN STRONG ONLY RYU HIT ONCE AND KEN HIT MORE!!! DAMAGE IS THE SAME!! diffence in the kick was already in alpha!! AND YET IS THE KICK OF KEN BETTER THEN THE KICK OF RYU 😛

shin shoryu ken is 4 hit 45 damage
Shinryuken is 15 hit 40 damage

According Capcom is shinryuken stronger then shin shoryuken

If you do a Personal Action before the Shinryuken is performed, the damage will come out larger.

ive won more games with ken then ryu so i think ken is cooler.

* agreed! the SHINRYUKEN of Ken is not called "The Mother of all Dragon Punches" for nothing... 😉

* well, on the other side, Capcom once stated Ryu had mastered the art of Hadouken while Ken mastered the art of Shoryuken... it seems to be very impartial for Ryu to have a "super" dragon punch and a "super" hurricane kick...

* also, Ken (as i have read) got better reflexes with regards on "kicks", so Ken's Shippu Jinrai Kyaku is understandable, but Ryu's Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku, i'm a bit puzzled... Ryu's Denjin Hadouken is okay for his mastery of Hadouken... 🙁

* IMO, in a fight, normal and standard, one on one match-up, draw! equal! the differences: Ryu is slightly stronger and Ken is slightly quicker, both have efficient moves but Ken's is always more flashy, in performing a same move, same damage, but Ken get more hits due to his speed, and Ryu's opponent got knocked down in the first hit due to his strength... 😕

It's a matter of oppinion I guess, Ryu's forcused more on longer battles and has better defences than Ken, Ken is geared for quick decisive battles (Very similar to Akuma's fighting patterns actually), Many people have an easier time using Ken for this reason.

Ryu is built to last against stronger opponents, where as Ken quickly trumps lesser fighters, hence why his fighting style is similar to Akuma's, since Akuma is theoretrically more powerful than just about every one else in SF, the only difference really is that Ken is not as powerful as Akuma, and thus has moderately more defensive power.

ken has beaten ryu before, but ryu wasnt mentally prepared in their rematch in third strike he defeated ken, if they were to fight today, ken would need to keep ryu at bay with kicks and use his length to keep him away and beat him to the punch and make him work hard and use his speed so ryu will b overwelmed and frustrated, ryu would have to counterpunch and anticipate kens punches much more, ryu is more conditioned then ken, i think in the later rounds of the fight ryu would have more gas then ken, ken has to end the fight quickly to stand a chance, in kens previous fights in which he was victorious like t.hawk, or sakura,or karin, or dan, these fights that he looked most impressive in was due to the fact that he ended them as soon as possible , in my opinion if the fight lasts a long time ryu will b the pressure fighter and win, ken has to use his kicking to his advantage to beat ryu, ryu needs to use his heavy hands and conditioning to his advantage, ryu would win by default , he had a rematch with akuma and scored a draw,ken got knocked out from akuma,ryu has KOd fei long , ken scored a draw against him, ken lost to m bison and ryu has beated bison on several occasions, if u notice the trend ryu has beaten men or has done better against them then ken has , therefore more likely then not ryu would win

Ryu has the advantage since he's been training a lot more than Ken.

Ken is a family man, and trains less than Ryu.

Despite this fact, they are virtually equals.

As I see it, Ryu is stronger, but Ken is faster.

Nevermind. Just quoted a 7 years old post. ROFL

lol ken won and was the only survivor in the year 2010 using bionics to fight cypoplasm so where ryu 😂
