if it's in a canon anime then it probably is.
and terry's fights are never documented so all the stories you've heard of "terry hulking up" are fanlore and not canonical. terry/geese and terry/krauser were all good, close hard fought battles. not one sided shitestomps that got turned around because god appeared before ryu and told him to put the ChiRho sign on his belt
So they were just simple fights. That makes FF storyline even less interesting.
i'm sorry but in that vid they looked pretty even post-hoganroutine. akuma looked like he was serious. he wasn't fooling around. i doubt he was SHIN akuma but he looked pretty serious to me.
Regular Akuma is just that much stronger than Ryu. Remember Ryu lost to Oro without being able to stalemate him, and Oro had a Draw with Akuma. Ryu can't stalemate Akuma.
alpha series was entertainin? right.
as for Terry, what random boss? its been geese and krauser for the most part of it.
Jin twins and Grant too.
like who? ryu's won every goddamn tournament except 3 so what does it have to do with everyone? how much impact on his life or the outcome of the tournament has anyone else ever had? nothing. guile and chunli have been nothing but fodder for the whole time despite having a relatively decent storyline to them.
What I’m saying is that the plot of SF has never been as Ryu focused as FF with Terry. Like half of the cast has had their share of importance in the storyline, and many times just as much as Ryu (SFA3 is very Cammy, Guile, Charlie and Bison focused for example). It’s not about who wins or loses each tournament.
SF1: ryu wins
SF2: from evidence, ryu wins
SF4: ryu'll probably win since he could oneshot the badguy
Sf3: ryu loses ONLY because he was up against Oro. notice how he still gets to shitstomp alex later on. at least terry never made the new hero look bad. rock is the champ. terry didn't steal his spotlight. how many SF games don't have ryu going hogan on people?
You are guessing 2 and 4, and 1 was retconed to be the more E. Ryu’s victory rather than Ryu’s. Someone had to own Alex to give him character development. And yes, I consider Garou actually the one FF with a decent storyline, mostly because it was the exception to the rule and this time it was about Rock.
a very valid excuse. the reason a punch you don't see coming is called a cheapshot is because it is damaging but a cowardly way of landing a damaging shot. it doesn't make the strike any weak, yes, but at the same time it says next to nothing about Sagat's endurance. when you don't see something coming you can't prepare, when you can't prepare your endurance isn't at test.
Basically Sagat is a weak ***** that can’t take a punch unless he sees it coming? Does Sagat turn to glass when he let’s his guard down? You are underrating Sagat. If Ryu had tried doing the same without having gained a power bust from the SnH, Sagat would have recovered quickly from the attack and probably killed him. The cheapshotting only granted Ryu the chance to get past Sagat’s guard, but not the strength to take him down in one hit.
Now, if Dan Hibiki was did what Ryu did to Sagat, against Terry, would Terry get a 1hko with the excuse of being a cheapshot?
it's a videogame so realistic physics is the last thing on their mind.
Yet, here we are, comparing the real life damage soaking properties of skin and walls.
watch your mouth. i'm not turning this into something personal so kill the noise. i'm no terry fanboy. i can name you several people who'd beat him without much trouble. but ryu aint one of them.
fact of the matter is: evil ryu has no feats. in terms of striking and what not, he has done NOTHING that is more impressive than Terry. if all he's done is scar someone then its not even comparable to Terry who has done it with regular moves.
dig that in your head. around here at KMC we compare characters according to feats. by feast, your "god a.k.a. ryu" has got nothing on Bogard and that's a fact. and the fact that you're resorting to cheap shots and personal attacks shows that you've got nothing to say and you've been served. now shut up and go to your room, boy.
funny. you just called me a fanboy for (according to you) believing that terry hits harder than evil ryu.
by feats, yes he's done better. name me another feat by Evil ryu?
read over what you just typed and slap yourself in the head for reaching desperately. calm down mate. evil ryu aint the shite you're making him and that's a fact.
he can tremble the ground with a power up? okay that's cool.
he can teleport at great speeds? okay that's cool.
but if all he's done is scar people with this much power than that aint that impressive. not to mention that terry's fought and beaten peeps who can shake the earth with a power up (Grant). so what has evil ryu done that would change my mind when Terry's taken on these kinda people in the past and going by feats his own hitting output seems to outshite Evil Ryu's?
is that so hard to understand?
the moment this chum does something worth mentioning in terms of striking power, let me know.
Lol.
A bit sensitive here, are we? Maybe I hit a nerve and something of what I said might actually be true. Lol, relax boy, by no means it was intended as a personal attack.
First of all, you seem to think I’m a Ryu fanboy, while if you pay more attention to my posts you will see that I’m against Ryu fighting evenly with Akuma and have said that he would go down hard. I also said Sagat could have killed him. And I never said regular Ryu would beat Terry. The one I’m arguing for is Evil Ryu, which is a stronger version of Ryu, who does have feats (in other words, any feat from Ryu can be performed by E. Ryu, much easier and along with much more) and you don’t need feats to meassure E. Ryu’s power, you just gotta know the story well enough. E. Ryu is what Akuma wants Ryu to become so that he can have an opponent worthy of his true power (now, if regular Ryu can stalemate serious Akuma, why would he need Ryu to go evil? Why would Akuma want to fight somebody that bad unless he is in his same level?). His SFA3 storyline isn’t what happened, but a ‘what if’ story from Capcom. In this path E. Ryu beats Bison and Shin Akuma and becomes the new Master of the Fist (now, I know, but if Capcom puts a ‘what if’ storyline there, it only makes sense that that’s how it would have happened if Ryu used the SnH. It would be pointless including a ‘what if’ story that doesn’t describe accurately what would have happened, especially when Capcom can have your character get owned at the end despite having being played as and having won with, just like Rose or Alex)
Along with semi-teleporting and earthquakes, you forgot to include having an aura so strong that he actually distorts the light around him, and being able to receive gunshots without taking even a little bit of damage (now THAT’S tough skin lol)
I don’t make E. Ryu any more than what Capcom has represented him as, which is same as Akuma’s level. He IS supposed to be among the strongest SF characters along with Akuma.
Basically if Mai Shiranui for example, scratches someone with her nails, that makes her automatically stronger than any other fighter without feats? Feats aren’t everything and they certainly aren’t absolute.
Terry in Garou is a further trained and more experienced Terry. We were considering Fatal Fury 1 Terry here.
Now, you can name people who would beat Terry? Ok, name a SF one then, because apparently, everyone in SF are bitches compared to Terry.
don't go around calling someone else a fanboy when your name and avatar all contain Evil Ryu. heck, even your sig used to have him.
My avatar and name have any relevance? I can’t have them without being a fanboy? Lol.
And my sig? Did I even put a sig for me in this forum?
oh and ripped that pic off my site for your avatar too!
I did what?
that's what makes me don't like Ryu sometimes. the most overrated fighting game character with his "protectors".
No more overrated than someone who has people making animes where he defeats gods.
And hating something because of it’s fanbase is not very mature.
