Ryu (SFIII) VS Shin Bison

It is, exactly what it says it is.

Ryu isn't nearly as "destructive" when he is "good" and his feats are speculative in SF3 for the most part. So any attempt to debate it is just going to descend into abc logic. I assume most here will root for Shin Bison though. Meh.

Ryu throws a boulder at the dictator's head. 😈
Lol kidding, in all honesty I don't think SF III Ryu could beat any version of Bison on his own.

I dunno about that. He's certainly surpassed Alpha Akuma. He should be able to handle the weaker versions of Bison without a doubt.

Title says Shin Bison.

That isn't exactly a weaker version of Bison so there's probably not going to be any debating.

Imo, Ryu can't even beat the weakest canon version of Bison.

Who knows what SF3 Ryu can do at full potential? He never showed it.

Yeah, my bad. Didn't see that guy's post. >__>

Lift up a boulder with difficulty. 313

I dunno tho, the problem is that alpha Akuma is still more destructive, and certainly more experienced than Ryu is. And he has the technique required to put Bison down, the SGS, which Ryu still lacks.

That said, the Udon Akuma layed one hell of a smackdown on Bison before using the SGS, but was fairing evenly with PD empowered Bison until Delta Red destroyed it, after that, Akuma ripped him apart flawlessly.

He braced it for a verrry long time with his trainer on top.

Ryu's full potential as of SF3: Lifting boulders with old men on top.
Chris is better in the boulder department. vin

Chun Li should be lifting his boulders. 😛

Nah. He's the one that likes lifting old men's boulders. vin

The women like lifting his though. 🙂

I'm pretty sure Ryu can fire a energy blast more powerful than that one block buster Kikosho from Chun-Li.

I think that SF3 Ryu could defeat SF2 Dictator, and maybe even SF4 one (IIRC that's the strongest version of Dictator in his post-Alpha body), after one hell of a fight.

But Shin Vega is still too strong even for SF3 Ryu imho.

I'm revisiting this thread with new information. Now that Shin Evil Ryu actually occurred in SFIV, this makes Ryu SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER. SFIII's canon states Ryu is beyond the SNH and Shin Evil Ryu is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger in SFIV than he has ever been before. Keep in mind, Capcom has no intention of retconning SFIII, since they still consider the game the sequel to SFIV's story, even in OE trailers and official descriptions.

Think about Shin Evil Ryu and where he stands in SFIV, then remember that Normal Ryu is more powerful by the time of 3S. I think Ryu of SFIII, going all out may just be a match for Shin Vega.

And how strong is Shin Evil Ryu, exactly?

More powerful than Shin Gouki is in SFIV. That's for sure.

Is this Shin Bison as in Bison from the Alpha series or Shin Bison from EX2 & 3?
If it's from the Alpha series then Ryu has a great chance since he caused Bison to retreat in Alpha 3.
