Nightmare solos this...depending on what weapon Hayabusa gets, since he's the biggest and only thread really, IMO. With the Plasma Saber MK.II or Dark Dragon Blade, he has a greater victory chance than Nightmare does. An average fight involving Ryu though would involve him using the regular Dragon Sword. At his prime Nightmare should win over him in that case.
Man I thought I was going to see Sephiroth or Dante in this gauntlet.

The Devil Incarnate You may be wondering why I posted videos of the D.I., well it's because anyone wielding the Dark Dragon Blade manifests into the Devil Incarnate himself. I'm still assuming that Ryu gets the Dragon Sword and nothing else, which is why I think Nightmare would beat him in that case with some effort.

The effect of the Dark Dragon Blade is that it turns the possessor into the D.E.V.I.L. I.N.C.A.R.N.A.T.E. Watch the two videos I posted.
If you mean can it counter its power the same way as the True Dragon Sword can, no. It however is comparable in terms of power but it can't counter it with an opposite type of force, particularly spiritual power which there's an unfathomable amount within the True Dragon Sword.
Ever since I played both games, which was in 2005 I've always thought that the DDB and Soul Edge were equal in terms of power. They have weaker states and prime levels which are relatively equal, IMO.
1. Ryu with downgraded DDB(when Vigoor Emperor had it, as shown in the first video) is about equal to Nightmare with incomplete Soul Edge...
2. Ryu with fully powered DDB(when Murai had it, as shown in the second video which points out that the DDB reached its full power) = Nightmare with the completed Soul Edge.
Just my opinion...
