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

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 has the potential though. Shin Bison would be tougher and questionable, Ryu has the power to take it with the weaker Bison and he has extra moves to help him in the match IMO.
Ryu's full potential as of SF3: Lifting boulders with old men on top.
Chris is better in the boulder department.

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

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.

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.
