Yeah Wolverine can take Ryu's punches well, but considering that a lot of Ryu's fighting utilizes chi you can't say that he would just soak up the damage like he would the damage from a normal 20 ton punch.
as well, you can't say i would do more damage then a brick shot... the thing is ryu's hard pressed to keep those level punches coming at the consistency that a guy like spiderman has going...
I mean shang chi can amp himself to spidey levels to fight people with chi as well..
iron fist even moreso...
wolverine beat shang like garbage, he took down kun lun (IF on steroids) like it was a joke... ogun is capible of killing a waterbuffalo with a solid slap but he can't put down wolverine, there's far more proof that wolverine won't be MORE effected by ryu's punches because they're made up of chi than the opposite... you're just giving ryu's hits the benefit of the doubt there..

It's been theorized that Ryu has an endless supply of ki energy with which to fight, so he should be able to maintain top speed for a very long time.
theorized by whom?
so far every time ryu really lets loose with his chi energy it drains the shit out of him and he passes out.... or is exhausted.

Ryu's speed feats aren't all that impressive only because there is so little official Street Fighter story available to use. We know he can effortlessly dodge gunfire because Capcom confirmed that ability after the Street Fighter Alpha Movie came out, showing Ryu dodging bullets..
he was shown dodging gunfire from one gunmen... (who was scared shitless BTW) using a handgun... again.. this may be impressive to real world people like you and me.. but for marvel and dc street levels.. guys who hop around lazers and the sort.. it just.. isn't....

Again, this in not really true. Ryu is not a normal human and is able to pull off super human feats strictly because of how much he trains. Since Ryu trains more than anyone else his stamina increases to what is most likely superhuman or very near it. Bolstered by a nearly inexhaustable supply of ki energy, he's not going to tire out anytime soon.
Ryu is a normal human though 😕 what makes ryu so damned impressive is his ability to amp himself to superhuman levels. it is because of how much he trains, I'm not arguing that, but it also has to do with his chi manip. also: false dycotomy.. you're giving ryu the benefit of the doubt that he HAS an inexhaustable amount of power.. MAYBE someday ryu will be able to tap into that kind of power of his own free will.. until then there's simply no reason for this kind of rationale... Ryu has to prove that he won't get tired, feats suggest otherwise by a large amount.. until this is PROVEN it can't really be used for the purposes of this debate...

And we all know how believable it is for a normal human man to be dodging bullets. I could accept Batman dodging a single bullet, but not more than one, not more than one shooter, and certainly not automatic fire. I know he can do it, but it's so far out of the realm of what a person can do it's rediculous to bring it up here.
and yet ryu can? 🤨
no it's not ridiculous to bring it up here.. you're talking about what characters SHOULD be able to do instead of how they are represented, sorry but if that's the case you should most likely pull out of or retract a large number of your arguments for wovlerine, because many many people feel he shouldn't be able to do a large portion of the things that he does do...
also, batman's not really a normal human either:

Ryu can dodge bullets because he's beyond human from his training regiment, he knows "magic" martial arts, and he can utilize Ki energy.
like batman? 😕

Spider-Man dodges bullets because he has precog and super agility, Wolverine does it because he has enhanced senses/speed/reflexes beyond a human. Why does Batman dodge bullets??? Because the creative team thought it looked cool.
oooorrr. because he has much training like ryu, he is far more aware of his surroundings than a normal human, he far surpasses what a normal human can do.. AND much like captain america he's just that damned good, it may not be a good reason, but it's what we'e given.
I can' believe I'm about to use this line against you considering some of the pro-wolverine arguments you've made but:
When someone argues that they have seen evidence of something but that the evidence doesn't count because that character "shouldn't be able to do that" they need to re-think the premise of thier conclusion. A characters abilities are based on what he or she demonstrates he or she can do, not on what someone thought they could do at one time.

I really can't, there is VERY little official information on actual cannon Street Fighter crap.
which is why you're giving ryu the benefi of the doubt?

Ryu has never really fought Bison that we know of. They had a brief interaction before the second tournament where Ryu drove off Bison, but there was no fight. Bison tried to use Psycho Power to control Ryu and Ryu got pissed and hit Bison, leading to Bison retreating. This is actually pretty impressive considering Bison was god-like during Alpha 3 and he ran from a fight with Ryu. Ryu may have beat Bison at the second tournament, but that Bison was weaker and we have no official information on who was in the finals.
i was going to give you the benefit of the doubt to use whatevermedia you pleased.. but no? okay...
anyways was it not confirmed that bison in alpha 3 challanged and deafeated ryu?

It was closer to a 20 ton boulder. And yeah Spider-Man is strong as hell, but Ryu went JOGGING down the road for miles carrying the boulder. In Oro's Street Fighter Third Strike ending Ryu is lifting a boulder that's easily twice the size of the one he was lifting before, So Ryu is well beyond 20 ton range.
according to whom? 😕
again..ben of the doubt...

Well Ryu punches harder than Spider-Man,
since when?
spiderman has one-punched down titanium steel doors.. the only time ryu did anything close to that was in a comic which isn't usebale as per your wishes...

so I would imagine his fireball would hurt a lot more since the fireball is more powerful than Ryu's punches.
his firball is a firball.. it does have a decent destructive capaibility but it lacks the stopping power to put wolverine down... and it's draining on ryu.

Well the Sonic Boom (Guile's projectile) is supposed to travel at least as fast as the speed of sound and Ryu's Hadou Ken is by far a more powerful projectile.
being more powerful = faster?
is hulk faster than speedfreak? ❌
besies.. maybe sonic boom SHOULD be as fast as sound.. but in every media it's much slower than say bullets even...

They can move pretty fast.
as fast as lazers? cause the'll need to be to hit wolverine..

And Ryu can unleash fireballs quicker (takes him no time to charge fireball) than just about any other Street Fighter.
and these smaller one's have no stopping power.. can't even stop balrog...
Originally posted by riceroost
Ryu can also make his fireball pretty gigantic. Like Cyclops, not every blast is the same size. Some are orbs, some are waves, some are blasts, and he can throw a huge beam of energy like in the X-Men vs. Street Fighter games.
the bigger ones wipe him out.. again I don't see anything of his that proves more impressive than what wolverine's already stood up to, and walked through in the past...

Ryu can vaporize cyborgs with at least superhuman durability and regenerative/self repairing mechanisms with a single blast.
that was the biggest hadoken he had, and it left him in a really weakened state.. my point exactly..
