Ryu Hayabusa vs Samanouske Akechi

Ryu Hayabusa: Hayabusa super ninja, winner of the 2nd DOA tournament, bane of the Demon Clan and the Vigoor Empire (and the occasional rogue government agent).

Hidemitsu Samanouske Akechi: Oni Clan warrior, also known as the Red Onimusha, occasional thorn in the Genma clan's side, responsible for finally putting down Genma King Nobunaga Oda.

Both men face off in a weapons-laden smackdown, Hayabusa with all his weapons and tricks from the Ninja Gaiden Xbox game, while Sam has his gear from Onimusha 3.

The stage for this battle: The Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Wow I think this would be a cool fight but I'd give it to Samanosuke because he has his demon form.

Cool match up. But since I haven't played Oni 3 it's hard for me to determine a winner.

At least look at the intro.

This is the best Onimusha Intro ever, seeing as how Donnie Yen himself choreographed this piece of art.

Those things the enemies leave behind look a lot like the essence orbs the enemies in NGB leave behind...

I see Samanosuke achieved a new form of power...

I do not know exactly what this level of power is capable of so I can't tell who'd more likely win.

Samonosuke has to absorb those essence thingies, but Ryu has been doing that also 😉

They're spiritual orbs that power Ryu up and it's what allows him to perform his ultimate techniques, but he's been shown to do that without those even...nonetheless they do give him a significant boost in power.

Some things I'm wondering are how long does Samanosuke's new form of power last, how powerful he is, etc...

Ryu has a fiendish form that has been triggered by Doku...that lasts as long as Doku's hatred is gone...

Fiends in Ninja Gaiden are immensely powerful especially the ones from the Underworld.

I am sure the True Dragon Sword can damage Samanosuke one way or another. He looks like a more fierce opponent than Ryu is, but I am clueless on who'd more likely win the match.

Jesus Christ that has got to be the coolest intro I have ever seen! *Moan/Drool/Orgasm/************** x 200*

However I have one lil problem...wasn't Samanosuke a Samurai and not a Ninja...the **** is with the beginning...to build drama I suppose. The action's great in it too. The fight would be awesome *_*
