* between Terry and Ryu, i gotta go with Terry... remember the canon storyline Capcom released? Ryu was desperate to win, in other terms, Ryu does not want to lose, so he wants to win either by hook or by crook, even if it means he will be overcome by Dark Hadou... Ryu however, learns from this lesson as he was beaten by Oro and went to be Oro's student... Terry is not this desperate to win, but by training himself, he proves himself to be if not the best, one of the best...
* re: Ken and Terry... kinda like Ken more but this still goes to Terry... but i'm sure Ken will give him one hell of a fight... i find this very interesting, they are both Americans (well, Ken's 1/4...) they're both cocky, both are flashy and got impressive moves...
* another thing, i just think Ryu is too overrated and over-exposed, well i know he's the frontman of StreetFighter but, Ryu should not get all the glory, give some for Ken, Guile, Chun-Li and other great StreetFighters that can actuallly beat Ryu if the story is done unbiased...
