What does FTW stand for?
And this will be a close fight.
Strength: I say a tie Ryu, he has massive strength behind his attacks, and he trained lifting boulders with Oro, but Mario's stength, for a short guy, is immense, being able to pick up king Bomb-ombs that probably weigh 400 pounds is impressive.
Experience: Ryu takes this, the battles he's fought, the training he's gone through, all those years, really works for him, while Mario's experience only came from all that jumping he did throughout the years.
Equpiment: All the power ups Mario has really helps him in this fight.
Speed/Agility: Mario's running skill will prove to be very helpful keeping him out of range of the Hadoken, and his agility will also help him dodge any devestating attacks that Ryu may have in store for him.
After a really close fight I say Mario takes this.
