Originally posted by Sado22huh? isn't that any game? ryu's moves are also pretty basic and yet he's placed at a high level in the game and called true warrior. his moves are pretty ordinary....somehow though, no matter what he does is like how a true warrior would do it. shinshoryuken are just two punches and a shoryuken but again its this "hieght of power" thing amongst the regular cast. you get my meaning? its always there in all games. in BR, Yugo's just a regualr boxer but apparently his power is so sought after its not even funny. Terry's just a brawler but again he's THE guy from KoF universe. its always there.
Forget my intial response to this post, Sado. Here's what I should have said:
When I said "Just Fighters with fancy moves" I mean't the flame users. Ryu & Terry IMO are both true warriors, they both had to learn what fighting is the hard way. Ryu, spent a little over ten years training with gouken, before going into street fighting. It took him another nine years after he gave up satsu no hadou to gain that power back the right way and he's fought over 10,000 opponents to do it. That's close to 20 years of hard training and half that time was street fighting. Terry spent Ten Years training and street fighting in southtown just so he could fight geese, and I presume he still fights afterwards but, I wouldn't know since I don't follow KOF plot that much. My point is capcom acknowledges ryu's effort, but SNK puts terry and all the other guys who were named by major Snafu aside for young Nobodies with convuluted, over complicated, plots and No Fighting Spirit. Now brainchild can come in here in bring up Iori training hard, and how he tear metal with his fingers. But, I don't care, really, There is no way I'll be convinced Iori, Kyo, and any other Slacker who has no initiative trains harder or is more skilled than terry.
Like you said, Kim is damn good. He can defeat ken or at most it's a stalemate.
