Who is the top 5 most powerful street fighter characters

Let us compare.

Ryu was shown struggling to support a boulder, albeit he was supporting it for a while.

Gouki is able to crumble an island with a punch.

Oh, and Ryu has NEVER beaten Bison one on one, in Alpha 3 he was fighting teams of people at once and beating them. He was also killed by Gouki in SF2, not Ryu. IIRC his only victory against Sagat was after a cheap shot when he channeled the Satsui no Hadou after Sagat beat him, though they are rivals, probably being equals. He beat Seth, but who the hell cares? 😐 Seth is weak.

I thought Juri beat Seth?

Her ending has her breaking him.

Endings are not always canon.

If by "fought Gouki" you mean Gouki deemed him unworthy to continue fighting with. While Gouki was holding back.

Gouken and Gouki were fighting in a volcano and in the manga they leveled a mountain range with their Hadoukens.

Gouken is also the only person who Gouki would go Shin for, him and prolly Oro.

Which manga was this, now, just for clarity?

And let's not forget the other difference being the timeframes in which both characters showed these things. Ryu was at his presumed peak training under Oro in SFIII (the farthest in the chronology), whereas Akuma destroyed that island during the SF Alpha days, and had only gotten stronger since by SFIII. That just says even more for the difference in power between them.

Does Ryu have any other feats besides the boulder lift we all know about and as shown in his SSFIV ending, can blast a hadouken clear through a water fall (Could only make it half way through in SFIV)?

1. Ingrid
2. Gill
3. Oro
4. Shin Gouki/Akuma

6. Ryu
7. M. Bison (Street Fighter ALPHA/Zero)

Honorable mentions who aren't quite that level, but are stronger than just about everyone else: Urien, Rose, Charlie.

There is no one in Streetfighter named Ingrind. estahuh

Also, Ryu is not stronger than Alpha 3 Bison. 😐

All I know is that Ken's up-and-outward flying uppercut is better than Ryu's, which only goes up. /fact

And that was a young, weaker and inexperienced Ryu.

Alpha 3 Bison took TEAMS of people to beat, the entire dolls, Sagat, Ken, Chun-Li, Ryu, Rose, lots of fighting one after the other. And IIRC it was Charlie who killed him, not Ryu.

Yea. The official order was something like- Fought Ryu, Ken, and Sakura at the same time, then all the Dolls (including Cammy) and almost killed them, then just Rose and beat her, then Guile and Charlie with Charlie sacrificing himself to win. I think Chun-li helped blow up the base but didn't actually fight him, or maybe helped in one of the earlier group fights.

He was crazy powerful in that body.
