Ryu Hayabusa runs the (Ninja) Gauntlet
Special thanks to TricksterPriest for this idea. Since the DOA fanatics claim that Ryu Hayabusa can beat anybody, here is a ninja-based gauntlet match.
Names in bold mean that Hayabusa can use his Dragon Sword and ninpo.
1. Chip Zanuff
2. Guy
3. Raven
4. Taki
5. Subzero
6. Scorpion
7. Yoshimitsu
8. Vega
9. Joe Musashi
10. Hotsuma
11. Ayame and Rikimaru
12. Hanzo Hattori
13. Kitana
14. Kasumi and Ayane
Ryu should at least be given Nimpo & sword against Scorpion. That guy can teleport Ryu to his realm were the fight will become terribly one sided against Ryu. But I am not sure...the TDS is too powerful and then it would become terribly one sided against Scorps...meh I rather not comment about it anymore...Ayane & Kasumi curbstomp him though. Some of the guys on the list I don't even know who they are, so I rather not make foolish comments.
Damn...you guys should really see what kind of challenge Ryu was taking in the Eternal Legend mission.
This was the ET gauntlet:
Feudal Phase
Ryu fights off several ninjas at once in the first floor of the emperor's palace. He then proceeds to the second floor and fights off even more deadly ninjas who use windmill shurikens. He proceeds to the third floor and kills a bunch of bats.
He advances to the fourth floor and fights the same kind of ninja's he fought in the second floor except there are ninja's that have fire-based katanas. There are also floating samurais who shoot multiple balls of energy at you. Ryu ascends to the top of the palace and enters a portal that leads him to a realm similar to the Fiend Realm.
Boss: Two samurai horsemen.
Military Phase
Ryu fights off a series of soldiers armed with stun batons and pistols. Afterwards, he is ambushed by near-futuristic soldiers who are equipped with heavy armor and plasma swords.
After that, Ryu faces off against the Vigoorian heavy infantry. These soldiers are armed with machine guns, rocket launchers, and grenade launchers. After Ryu kills those, several futuristic versions of the Vigoorian infantry appear. The weapons they use are futuristic as well.
Boss: Cyborg Captain who uses a built-in electric gun that shoots blasts of energy at his opponents.
Fiend Phase
Ryu takes on several fiends that are quite easy to beat. Then, he takes on another encounter of lesser fiends. After that, Ryu fights off 30 giant bugs.
Boss: The Ice Fiend Hydracubis, along with other lesser fiends.
Ryu then fights off six ghouls armed with axes and bows. Ryu then fights 12 wasp fiends along with 6 lesser fiends and 2 ghouls.
Boss: Yotunfrau, along with lesser fiends.
Ryu then fights off a bunch of soldier fiends along with a ghoul fiend. Ryu then fights against stronger fiends along with 6 other fiends with large pincers and energy rays. After that, Ryu kills 12 giant bugs along with 4 giant ogres armed with clubs.
Boss: Doku, one of the Greater Fiends in NG, along with other samurais. He uses the Kitetsu which is a cursed japanese sword that feeds on the souls of those that it slays.
Boss: Marbus, Lord of the Fiend Realm, along with all kinds of fiends.
Then, Ryu faces off against 4 Vigoorian Berserkers who came out of meteors. They have a second form that is triggered after recieving a certain amount of damage. This new form makes them more powerful and agile with their attacks. They can shoot bigass fireballs and can create some form of mine underneath you wherever you are.
Boss: Nicchea, along with middle class fiends. Nicchea is one of the ancient greater fiends.
Boss: Ishtaros, one of the greater fiends in NG.
That's the end of it. Afterwards, it shows Rachel being freed from the stone tablet that she was encased in originally. Ryu shows no signs of fatigue whatsoever. The end.

The problem with that is the fact Hayabusa consistantly has trouble with other ninjas around his level. Yeah Hayabusa can slay all manner of hellspawn, but pit him against another skilled ninja like Hayate and he runs into serious problems. Hayabusa is cool, but he simply can't take Ayane and Kasumi simultaneously. The sisters would eat him alive.
Also, Kasumi or Ayane could take on a large majority of the bosses from Ninja Gaiden with ease. Take away Hayabusa's weapons and see how he fares.
- You cannot put Ayane and Kasumi on Ryu's level because he has already surpassed a modern day super ninja.
- Ryu's a descendant of the Dragon Lineage who draw their blood from the same ancient deities as the fiends. He becomes a fiend after beating Doku.
- Saying Ayane and Kasumi can beat a maxed out Hayabusa with the TDS is obsurd. Ayane can defeat Omega though she wouldn't stand a chance in hell against Incarnate or the Emperor, and that goes for Kasumi as well.

I know his history.
Again, Hayabusa isn't more powerful than Ayane or Kasumi, he just gets better weapons. Give Kasumi her own game with some True Lotus Blade and she'd do the same things Ryu does.

Oh I thought this was with the weapon. Alright he does not win against them but if Kasumi uses her wakizashi or if Ayane uses her kunai Ryu will use his regular Dragon Sword and own them.But if this is a maxed out busa he clears his gauntlet. Moot argument? I know, I'm just making a point 😉
Actually, we don't really know what Ayane's new weapon can do. Kasumi's wakizashi doesn't seem like a normal blade either seeing as how she stalemated Alpha-152 with it.

True Lotus Blade? 😑
Dude if Kasumi had her own game she would be like Taki because she's a kunoichi and carries around a wakizashi.
I don't see anything saying that weapon is extraordinary and Kasumi stalemated her in hand to hand. She just took out her sword at the end and that's when ALPHA-152 was like oh shit and started doing back flips and flew away.
Hi.
To be honest I do believe Ryu Hayabusa wielding the regular Dragon Sword would smoke the rest of the Ninjas. As it stands they have shown no skill what so ever to put them on his level. I know they have almost 0 showings with weapons, but that's just the way it is. They don't have the feats to back themselves up. Perhaps a couple of years from now we will be able to thanks to the Kasumi & Ayane video game, but for now they are royally screwed.
