Your missing my point on this whole teleportation thing and you will continue to do so because you don't want Ryu to win.
Example: Say Hayabusa is charging Nimpo and Ryu rushes to attack him before he performs it. Hayabusa teleports out of harm's way and unleashes the Nimpo. Out of harms way is too far, Ryu will move out of the way, distance works for Ryu as well. Teleports too close, Ryu knows were he is and hits him with a Shinshoryuken before he can act, Haybusa defeated. Or Ryu can just cancel out the attacks with projectiles of his own.
3. Now that's not speculation, Gouki wanted Ryu to give in to the SNH so that he may have a true challenge. Evil Ryu was a challenge for Gouki, normal Ryu is better then Evil Ryu now. That should explain it it all.
4. My point is, the Izuna drop is no serious threat, Ryu's peers have similar moves.
Also, animes aren't irrelevant, Capcom has said, to see how the characters fight not restricted by the game engines, the animes are the best representation
This is why Haybusa can't win.
Ryu get's no credit except that in which I give him, which isn't enough.
1. Looking for other media means looking for unofficial stuff that does not happen in the actual story; and as such is not taken for granted. By the way there have been plenty of Street Fighters to draw feats from.
2. You don't see mine, and apparentely I don't see yours. So whatever.
3. The fact Gouki wanted a greater challenge implies Ryu wasn't really a match for him. Don't you think?
4. Whatever. I never said the Izuna Drop would finish Ryu off. I just said Vega has never fought Ryu, and that he is not in his leage. So lets drop the Izuna stuff since now we're apparentely in the same book.
5. Hayabusa's Chi has demonstrated far more destructive power than Ryu's hadoukens in the animes, so even if we take them into consideration Ryu still loses. Ryu can dodge bullets in SF Alpha, so can Hayabusa...even better Hayabusa can run on water.
Ryu won't win. Everyone else can see it, but you.
