Respect Ryu!!!

Gouki is definately more popular, I know that. Also, best known doesn't always=most popular.

99.999% of spoofs you see on television, for example, that spoof Street Fighter never copy Gouki's moves or in cartoons you never see a character who is deliberately dressed to resemble Gouki. Chun-Li, maybe. But Gouki or even people from Tekken, nah.

COME ON! (not you wandering flame!) 😠

brain, i said i THINK terry bogard is more popular. I'm pretty sure he is since even on the net you get a Terry fanlisting but i haven't come across a ryu fanlisting. besides, if Ryu WAS popular they wouldn't have changed his persoanlity for SF2V. the guys more boring than.......boring.

I understand your point.

Bu the thing is that popularity and fame tend to go hand in hand. An example:

10 guys are playing Street Fighter, nine of them have only played the game twice in there lives, the 10th plays it every day.

The nine players that have only played a couple of times don't really know who any of the people are, aside from Chun-Li and Ryu. As such, they pick Ryu. The 10th guy who's been playing for years chooses Gouki.

The majority of the people in the world make up the 9 people while people like you, me, and fire makes up the tenth.

Due to the fact that the majority of people know who Ryu is because he is more famous, he is in fact more popular. Things might be different if all 10 of the people were avid street fighter fans, but 9/10 times Ryu is more popular simply because more people are aware of his actual existence, compared to Gouki who is a legend/icon in the video game world but a nobody everywhere else. tis' all relative.

If you had ten people, all from different countries, and you told them to pick between Michael Jackson and Linkin Park most of the people probably will choose Michael Jackson because he's known in pretty much every country and has been for years. In terms of that group of people, MJ is certainly more popular.

as for the mortal kombat challenge..............YOU FOO! I CHALLENGE YOU TO BIBLE BLACK CONTEST!!!

blax, i know what you're trying to say but the example you gave only means that people would obviously choose the guy they've heard of over the guy they don't know. its obvious. i know what you're trying to say.....but its not what brain and i mean.

Nah. It's a fact. Those two are loved to death in japan....I remember the poster "50 Yen" stating the same thing.

Didn't say they aren't. They deserve it. They are quality characters. The "jockstrap" thing isn't a fact.

Oh but it is. Iori more than anyone in SNK.

Understandable. Ryu's the icon. He should be more popular than many. Especially Terry 😄

😂 somehow I knew that was coming.

😆 Still your opinion though. The guy's just popular 'cause he's so great. 😄

Would not say great 😉 It would seem all of Japan loves Iori....well maybe not ALL of Japan but the one's that like KOF....

of course Ryu ages. Terry, haohmaru, ryo and so many others age.

And Terry didn't age, he just changed his outfit

Originally posted by Sado22
and Ryu was boring back then, and he's boring even today. he needs new moves and he needs a wardrobe change. heck the only thing about him that changed is his bandana.

I don't see Terry or Ryo spoofs in episodes of South Park or Robot Chicken or see Dead Pool yellin out any of their moves when he hit somebody.

I yell Hadouken to some one and they're gonna be like, "that's that one guy from that fightin game. Wasn't his name Ryu or somethin?"

I yell Power Wave and they're gonna be like, "You on drugs or somthin?" Or mistaken it for a DBZ move.

If you're talking about the "doesn't deserve to be" part; Yes, that's my opinion based on how his story sux so much
