Now, Ryu has experience, discipline, raw skills, better reaction times and probably more raw speed, and way more physical power.
ryu's 33 in SF3. now, i assume we're using this one as its their incarnations against the other. 33 years out of which he's spent only 10 proper fighting while the rest were sparing and dojodroking with ken in the moutians. that's 10 years of fighting experience. Kyo's been
fighting for his phucking life since the Orochi saga began when he was 18...and things haven't quieted down for kyo since then. so, not only does kyo have to fight gods and demigods after his ass but he also has an isane iori trying to murder him. aside from SFa3 when was the last tme ryu's life was at stake in a fight? sfa2, he was fighting an akuma who was holding back. same goes for the one in that SF4 comic, assuming its canon. so no, mate, he aint got more experience. kyo's always fought at bad ods and with a lot on the stake.
discipline, lol. it doesnt prove squat. ryu's more disciplined than anyone in SF........but look what that got him.
raw skills: sorry mate, kyo takes the cake easy. he's a born natural with enough skill to topple his dad and be all-star japanese champ at 15 and 18 respectively. ryu's first championship win was at the age of 23
reacton time: you mean the bullets. for sake of arguments okay although the one time we saw it, the opponent was shooting a semiauto from several feet away
speed: kyo. what's the fastest thing ryu's done? its not like he outran the bullets. kyo literally makes quadruples of himself when he does the mu-shiki.
physical power: yeah, based on feats ryu takes this but NOT in striking power
Kyo does edge out Ryu for some part in the energy department, but not by very much. And then, only because his ki manifests itself as copious amounts of flames. But Flames are nothing new to Ryu at all.
but never incinerating flames mixed with insane striking force and someone whose faster than him and equally skilled if not more.
