Ryu vs Takuma Sakazaki

Suzaku Castle, Japan.

Today is the anniversary of Gouken's murder and his two former apprentices, Ryu (the current caretaker of the grounds) and Ken Masters, have come to his gravesite at Suzaku Castle, the location of the Ansatsuken Dojo, to pay their respects.

A third person drops by also to pay their respects to the fallen Ansatsuken master: Takuma Sakazaki, patriarch of the Sakazaki family and master of the Shoran style of Kyokugenryu Karate.

"I knew Gouken," Takuma says with genuine sincerity. "Gotetsu as well. Good men, even better fighters. They didn't deserve to be killed the way they did."

Ryu bows slightly. "Thank you."

Takuma sizes Ryu up. "I have heard about you through my son and his friends. It would do me a great honor to see how Gouken's disciple holds up in combat."

Ryu rises to the challenge. "Tomorrow, on the rooftop."

The following day, Ryu and Takuma face off. Instead of hiw usual white gi, Ryu is dressed in a spare black gi and red headband, while Takuma is in his own gi and Tengu Mask.

Watching the fight from the ground, is Ken, Ryo and Yuri. Takuma removes his mask, tosses it into the air, and breaks it in two with a kick. Ryu tightens his headband and adjusts his gloves.

"Let's see how well Master Gouken has taught you," Takuma says as he went into his stance. "To make things interesting, we shall use no ki attacks. Just pure skill."

Ryu nods as he goes into his stance. "Agreed."

Stage: Ryu's Third Strike Stage.

So this is Takuma, not Mr. Karate? I'd say Ryu takes this one.

....Ryu....

Ryu

Takuma Sakazaki wins for sure cause he has more experience of fighting and he is far stronger and faster then Ryu.
By the way Takuma and Mr.Karate is the same person so it don't matter if he Fights whit or whiteout his mask he is good any way!!!

Major Snafu i LIKE you're GREAT intros i really enjoy Reading them 🙂

Takuma would win

I've known Takuma to do nothing but get beat up by his kid. (W/my superior logic, I'd guess that he was still holding back a bit 'cause he knew he was fighting his son whereas Ryo may not have been 'cause he wasn't sure he was fighting his pop. That's only a guess though.) He has the exp. I guess, but that's NEVER helped his team get to the finals in KOF. If he & his son are anywhere near as tough as some say, there's no way they shouldn't have been been able to make it past Terry's team since many see Terry's teammates to be weak. Ryu beats the old man down & becomes Takuma's new master.

Not to mention, Takuma got beat up by a young Geese, then and old Geese got beat by Terry. And many say that Terry and Ryu are around the same level.

You think Takuma losing to Geese is jobbing?

Ryu, can't even beat the bosses in his own universe and he's supposed to beat Takuma?

No, but Takuma is a beast.

Sado is that you?😆 Takuma can't even beat the regulars in his own universe & he's supposed to beat Ryu? The bosses in Ryu's universe aren't known for fu*king around & jobbing like the one's in Takuma's universe. What has the guy done besides get beat up by Ryo? If he can beat ass as you say, where are the ass beating victims?

The nest satelite? 😕

Takuma was jobbed, that doesn't mean he can't beat ass. With that logic, I could say orochi is weak because he lost to the sacred treasures team.

He wasn't jobbed, he lost and Orochi is weak against the Sacred Treasures, if he wasn't things would've been different.

But, how did they survive orochi's attacks? Even if orochi's weak, he should be able to blow them away.

It'd be nice if he actually DID something beastly. You think he jobbed when fighting Ryo? If the style is so strong, how come a team w/him and the much vaunted heir to said style get past a Team w/Terry & 2 inferiors?
hysterical

hysterical Seriously though. Takuma's gotta do something besides never win any fights for me to think he's all that tough.
