Ryu vs Cloud Strife

Nah.

and, if ryu capable to shatter an island, why can't he KO hugo? hugo is just andore, a normal thug in final fight. don't tell me hugo is stronger than island because we know he's defeated somewhere in FF by someone who can't shatter an island.

He is the only Street Fighter character thus far to take a Shin Shoryuken from Ryu (officially stated I believe) and NOT be incapacitated.

Hugo's not what you would call "normal".

Why the hell can't Hugo just be really durable and strong?

Seriously, all you'd have to do is LOOK at the guy to realise that "Okay, maybe this guy isn't such a pansy after all".

I love how people keep bringing up Hugo as a simple Street thug despite the fact that over Ten years have passed since Final fight.

.

Peeps do know that Ryu doesn't fight to kill or seriously injure? If Ryu want's to kill cats wit his moves, he can.

And Hugo IS durable...

Ryu is A LOT stronger than Cloud...easy proof....like it has been said before, he can support that huge boulder for hours....in Final Fantasy 7's ending, Tida and Cloud are hanging from a cliff and Cloud seems to struggle pulling Tida up onto the cliff.

Cloud has more endurance though, I think Ryu would be in much worse shape after he took a bullet the way Cloud did in the movie.

^ um no, he didnt struggle at all, infact he was having a casual conversation with her while pulling himself up with one arm,

Honestly watch from 3:50 to 5:10, and pay attenttion to what he easily cuts from 5:00-5:10, and don't bother saying its the sharpness of the sword, because if it was then it would be starting to cut through the building as he was standing on it, he would clear cutting those buildings with sheer power, he even had enough power to launch himself vertically for many many meters without losing any momentum from the building falling on him

YouTube video

Do you think Ryu has enough power to do that?

Considering he does not have a sword, no.

And the First Tsurigi is not a normal sword, it is very sharp, yes, the sharpness, durability, and size helped with the damage.

Ryu would just punch through it though.

LOL Ryu is NOT punchign through Clouds sword under any condition... The very fact that it was able to withstand blows from the Masamune which is swung with Trillions of Newtons (sufficient power to create SHOCKWAVES that cut through giant buildings and cannons) is more than enough to prove its durability... Im very amused that you think cause he can lift a boulder, you think he can punch through something as durable as Clouds sword... Cloud easily out classes Ryu in nearly every way (this is apparent to people who have a clear understanding of both characters, not just what has been seen on youtube/ wikipedia

And on, Cloud is not as strong as Ryu, as skilled, or as powerful.

This is a fairly even match.

Ryu is DEFINATELY not punching through, or doing anything remotely close to what Cloud is doing in the video

If the sword was that sharp, then it would be cutting through the building while Cloud stands on it at 4:06

How is that proving your point? 😬

Yeah, because hes that strong that he can effortlessly stab it into the building, think about it, if he puts all his weight (standing on it) on this "sharp" sword your claiming, then the sharpness of the sword should beable to cutting downwards down the building as hes standing on it (making it impossible for him to stand on)

So that means its not the sharpness of the sword that cuts through the building, but its his power, and the durability of his sword.

Cloud is like...What? 140 pounds?

Compared to a sword which is probably 200-300 pounds.

He stabbed it in fairly deep, and the blade is wide, it should be perfectly able to support his weight.

Of course it would support his weight, because his sword isn't some magically uber sharp sword.

Uber sharp? Nah.

Pretty sharp? Yeah.

Give Ryu Clouds sword and he can do the same things Cloud can?
