Illidan can fly in WoW and in the WoW video, so he must be able to fly even before WoW because hes had nothing extra added to him to make him fly as far as i know
also curiously is this Deathwing after having the demon soul, before having it, or is he wielding it in this battle, if hes got it then he could beat ryu easily, also whats the battlefield, can Nefarian use his earthen powers to call rock, earth and volcanoes to destroy ryu?

3rd Foe; Siegfried Schtauffen [SC3]!
4th Foe; Master Chief [Halo]!
5th Foe; Neltharion's true aspect [WoW]!
FIGHT!

Illidan is weaker in WC3, but he's far from weak.. He successfully trough the way of magic brought the Naga race back to the upper world and became their leader.. He believed so much in his own powers that he almost defied Sargeras..
The fact that Illidan cannot fly is correct, however he can levitate.. His muscles are highly trained, and the only way that Ryu can possibly pass Illidan is if he's fighting Illidan the second Illidan leaves his cage when Tyrande releases him.. He hasn't been fighting for 10.000 years and isn't warmed up.. Maybe at that point, Ryu can take him down.. If he's unarmed, which he was in the prison.. Illidan is blind, but he senses his surrounding.. It's mission impossible for Ryu to sneak, or ambush him.. Besides, he's huge and his sentinel weapons can quickly disarm Ryu, if he make one single flaw..
The first, third and forth foes I believe Hayabusa can manage.. Hayate is simply underpowered in that specific fight, and so is Siegfried.. They are mere average soldiers if comparing to Hayabusa and the other two.. Master Chief has advanced reflexes and technology, a thick armor and almost unlimited stamina.. However, his speed is no match against the speed that Hayabusa holds and goes down..
Neltharion... Let's not go there.. Since he fought Illidan earlier, he definatly got wounded badly.. No way that he can mend his wounds with basic first aid..
Conclusion: Ryu will go down somewhere between 2 and 4..
A man that can with only words bring back an ancient race from the eternal sleep is considered quite powerful.. And since Illidan has a high amount of agility, strength as well as intelligence, I believe he can counter the ninja with whichever blade he picks.. If you look closely at the sentinel blades of Illidan, you'll see that they are specificly adapted to be capable of disarming armed hostiles.. Axes, swords, spears and any close-combat weapons is in the threat-area if striking Illidan..
I said a while ago that I wasn't going to go further but then changed my mind. I'll just quote something that I posted in another topic and may or may not post anymore here..

I looked at some video's of Dark Dragon Blade, but none that seem to provide any proof that he becomes an "unstoppable killer" or anything like that.. Illidan have fought mighty foes, he have been provided mighty magical powers by Sargeras himself.. He knows the magic and memories of Gul'Dan and all the magical aspects that the world can provide.. He sees any magic and therefore nothing Hayabusa can do that is enchanted or lead by magic is a surprise for him.. His therefore drudical powers and his demon half will fight Ryu under at least equal terms, if he is the devil's incarnate..
Illidan have fought Arthas, Maiev, Malfurion and I even believe he have fought Archimonde.. Anyone who can stand the ground against either of those deserve more than the benefit of a doubt against a ninja with an empowered sword..
As I mentioned before, the sentinel blades of Illidan is formed to disarm.. What happens when/if Ryu drops his sword? Not much of an incarnation at that point, I believe..
I never said he was unstoppable...it's my honest opinion that the Devil Incarnate (Once again, anyone using the Dark Dragon Blade in battle. A ninja, a statue, anything, that manifests into the Devil Incarnate and attains the power of the Dark Dragon himself) could possibly defeat Illidian. About dropping the sword, no. He can make it levitate, teleport it, teleport himself, and become intangible. All of this is shown in the game, which I've owned since 2005.
Edit: I feel happy for you and your love. 😊

You didn't, but after I read the other thread it seemed like Devin Incarnate was some kind of super-killing machine.. It would help, but I'm not certain it would help enough..
Edit: Thank you 😊
I'm sick of debating Hayabusa around here when he's allowed to pick any weapon in the Ninja Gaiden verse. It's annoying hearing people ask how powerful he would be with the DDB when people wielding the DDB have already demonstrated it's power, as shown in those two videos above, and the power shown in the first video wasn't even when the blade was at its prime. As for abilities, he'd at least retain the ones he originally has.

A good way to learn about the different characters would be to look at;
http://www.wowwiki.com for warcraft characters 😊
However, not all can be found there. You can also use the strategy guide that can be found at:
http://www.battle.net and click your way to warcraft 3! It too tells some about the character and the background 😊
A third place to check out would be the encyclopedia, timeline and lore at:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/index.html
You can not really find all the information about the characters, because they are many and the Warcraft lore has to be among the deepest game stories I know of 😛
To know some things, you will have to participate in the game. For example, in the game Illidan can walk on water but this is not stated in any of the links 🙂

I'm asking because the video isn't really showing much.. He summons a dragon at the end, but other than that, it wasn't very impressive.. The man that he fought grew a couple of sizes and his apprearance changed.. Guessing this increased all his physical abilities a lot.. It probably provides him with powers as well.. But be honest.. The video isn't showing much of the powers that the blade provides, is it? And it most definatly doesn't show what it does to Hayabusa..
You've watched both videos, haven't you? By then you would know the Devil Incarnate can/has:
Considering the first video,
1. Turn a vast garden into a burning hell within seconds.
2. Lift and explode ground from underneath.
3. Resistance to lava.
Regarding second video:
1. Disintegrate a person with a single hit of the Dark Dragon Blade.
2. Travel really fast.
3. Knock opponents off gaurd with single strikes.
4. Summon a Black Dragon to come to take away the soul of the opponent.
Those videos were not supposed to show you what Hayabusa can do with the blade. Ryu never acquired said weapon since he isn't evil. Instead, he used the True Dragon Sword against it, which is essentially the most effective weapon that could counter the power contained within the Dark Dragon Blade.
However, since it has been stated that Ryu could pick any weapon from his arsenal in the opening post, he can use the DDB as it's part of his arsenal in the game, and said weapon can be picked and used to fight enemies. Once again, he doesn't use it in the story since he's the good guy. What would actually happen if he was to use the DDB is the same thing you saw happen to both of those beings in the video.
I really don't think you should just off the bat say that Hayabusa stands little chances against two of those characters considering all that's been said, and considering you apparently have little knowledge of the world of Ninja Gaiden. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. It's not like I said no one in the gauntlet would have little chances to defeat Ryu either, considering I myself do not know of the other guys much, which is why I don't make statements such as he/she would very unlikely defeat him. I simply gave my opinion that Hayabusa could clear it, but you're making it sound like he has very low chances even as being basically the most powerful entity in the Gaiden universe...
what we have to remember is that this is him in Warcraft 3, not WoW or when he gets Sergerus eye
although he still may have most of the WoW powers before this, for example the Blades of Azzinoth can summon a pair of large burning elementals and Illidan can shoot laserlike beams which combust anything they hit, for example even concrete bursts into demonic flames
