I cannot understand why anyone would say that ryu is better than Ken Masters.All ryu can do is hadokens and his shurkens are pretty weak along with his hurricane kick.Ken can even beat that lame character that people get all hyped for and that person is evil ryu.Now to me akuma is like a dark ken who is toned down a bit but gets a super super combo.and that combo is the demon rage combo.[img:post_uid6]http://www.phenixsol.com/Miko/SF2/sf2Kensfz2.jpg[/img:post_uid6]

yah but the only reason ur saying that is because we have had ryu since the beggining and u thought the better of ken and not ryu so just trust me cuz i have the game(it rocks ppl) :buttrock:

omg stop this now, before any one flames u just to let you know. That Ken is better at the rising dragon fist move aka Shouryuken then Ryu and plus has more speed. Ryu is great with the surge fist aka Hadouken, and Ryu speed is normal and his Shouryuken is weak but he makes up for it with his advanced Hadouken. And with Ken dont even bother to use his hadouken alot its very slow and weak. Akuma master the stlye of the Shotoken and is average on all moves.

Conclusion they all have their str and weakness no one is better then the other.

Ken won't be any better in this game

u gotz that right nas :buttrock:

ken is faster than ryu...

ryu is more powerful...

in this game....power counts more

Listen to me kid at a novice level ken is the best,but once you develop strategy you will discover Ryu is the overall best character.

Now in a tag match I'd say ken is the superior fighter because he can then perform a shinkuhadoken just like ryu when they do there double team.

Without powerfull projectiles you will fall.If it were a battle without projectiles then perphaps ken would be the better fighter.


Oddily enough ryu never beat ken,but ken has beaten ryu but that was a flash back of there childhood together.

SHIN AKUMA OVERALL BEST CHARACTER.

nuh uh ..akuma id say is the worst of the 3! speed will always own power. but really it depends on the way u fight but ryu is by far the best character il show you how:

ryu
strength:5
speed:5
compatability:10

akuma:
strength:8
speed:3
compatability:9

ken:
strength:3
speed:9
compatability:8

this shows that ryu is by far the better of the 3 becoz he's is the balanced char ..if he isnt stronger than akuma he sure is faster and if he isnt as fasta ken he's much stronger. so he' has a upper hand on both the other shoto's

you say it cuz you hate the hadokens ken woul not be better then ryu they have almost the same moves so what are you talkin about ???

Look people, a chracter is only as good as the person controlling him, geez man u guys argue over anything.

lol ken and ryu sucks vega rulez all

AL U B GETTING IS FASTER OR POWER

in the story it said that ken was better than ryu and the dragon upper cut thind and ryu was better at fireballs and it also said ken was a show off so that was his weak spot when fighting and it said that ryu was patient and non show off.

ya ripped that from a playstation mag

well eney way ryu and ken ok thay are both identical in strenghth it all depends on how the user uses them

Don't you realize after playing this game that a simple projectile can stop anything.

Haven't you noticed the flaws in attacks by now.

Ryu is a perfect character.He can defeat you from a distance and in your face.

My favorite characters are=

Ken Masters
Dan Hibiki
Cammy
Vega.

But I realize at the level of a person equally skilled as you and lets say your very skilled a character without decent projectiles vs. a character with projectiles will fail.

All a skilled or even a #### player would have to do this pummel the other player with is projectiles.

With or without lagg....seriousily ken or any other character is no match for ryu.....=/

==============================================

<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>The only way ken could beat ryu seriousily is if he could perform a shinkuhadoken.In which he can....but he has to be partnered with Ryu...........Ken is stronger with Ryu....Ryu remains the same...when partnered with ken but can perform the double shinkuhadoken just like ken can with Ryu. together they are awesome.....=/</span>

this topic is worthless. this needs to be locked.

^^^ Yeah.. sure... after everyone else read ur point of view without that of others.. *sigh*

Anyway.. this bickering has been going on for too long.. and personally.. I think it's cool :biggrin: ..
I like Ken.. he's my favourite character... I mean.. you can't deny the flair of Ken's moves.. style, poise, agility.. you name it.. He's one of the elite characters. :biggrin:

Anyway.. Ryu and Ken differ in various ways.. though they're both shotokaners.. they differ in their methods of excecution.

On one hand you have ryu whose bent on perfecting skill and more of substance over style, on the other hand you have ken who goes for style over substance..

Concluding that one is better than the other one.. is utterly vague.. but it's something I wouldn't mind saying.. just b'cos I like Ken.. this also goes for the person who created the topic. :biggrin:
So.. if you're into a character who has more speed and just lots of flashy combos.. then you'll love Ken.. and if you're well.. *cougH* into style over substance, then Ryu is the man for you..

BUT.. professionaly speaking.. as the tactical aspects of the game begin to unfold, you'll notice that Ryu has a little bit of advantage.. He can inflict pain from far range, and also.. close battles.. making him really handy.. Ken, on the other hand.. needs to be close to inflict any real damage..
So.. whichever one you think you can masters.. *cougH* I mean.. master.. good for you! :biggrin:

ok, sbyrd5 you seeem to think that whatever we do in this game ryu is always gonna win it. which is false !

see a ryu user against a cyc|ops or sentinel users don'T even stand a chance if all he does is HADOKEN is way out which is what you suggest people to do.

hadokens here can't block beams and we got two beamers here !
yu see this game maybe was ryu based at first, but with lag going down by a lot since the game started, this lead to the fact that even close range fighters have a very good chance of defeating any other long range users, that's why wolver

You ever played streetfighter EX2 Ken owns that game,

no way pip man, I could easily crush you with Ryu or Kairi...or even with Allen Snider if you have the first one.

lol.. I doubt that.. I wouldn't mind Skullomania.. <span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>SKULLOMANIA</span> ..*cougH* sorry.. got a little carried away there.. :biggrin:
Or Volcano Rosso.. or even D.Dark... they all bow to Ken's superior skills..
Fortunately, or unfortunately, it all boils down to how good the fighter really is. :biggrin:

Skullomania is cool I played with him in SF alpha ex plus hes like sp

or pullum that girl could kick some ass

[quote:post_uid0="dominicankid098"]ken is faster than ryu...

ryu is more powerful...

He may be more powerful,but there will be to much lag,and also,power dosent count 4 everything.Overall,in ps1 games,yes ken would be the best(and is my favourite),but in this game,he could easily be beaten,such as when he land from his uppercut,hes gone :D

where is KEN AT WE NEED HIM LOL

the only SF character we should get next is Yun/Yang or just Yang :buttrock:

[quote:post_uid0="Wave Master"]the only SF character we should get next is Yun/Yang or just Yang :buttrock:[/quote]
or not...

Stop hatin Ken rules so get wit it and yun and yang cant beat Ken either those 2 r in the street fighter 3 serious so they cant be added on top this game that came out like in 1996 or 1997.

i'm masterx05 on this one. the charcaters means nothing, its not the charcaters who make the game its the users themselves who are playing the game ![/quote]
My ideals are based off two players at the same skill level.

Same skill level.....same skill level......

If you want to put the indiviuals abilities into this matter...

Then I'd own with Cammy and Dan Hibiki....=/

dubya tee eff are you all talking about just like alamgir said its about the player who,s controlling him some ppl are good with ryu some with ken some with akuma dubya tee eff does it matter damn man close this topic you have your point

het shorty and alam girl i see wat ur sayin but ken is better then ryu.ken may not be a projectile but his moves still go across every where.

[quote:post_uid0="dominicankid098"]ken is faster than ryu...

It's really all how you look at because if you have lag speed won't do a thing and if you have power what is the point of having all the power if you can't touch the person.

I'm getting tired of these topics: Who is the best? You guys it's not the character himself, it's the player. If you have a powerful/fast person what does it matter if you can't play you are going to lose anyways. The character can't fight on his own.

It really just matter on ur style. Me, I like speed and the Capoeira(dance) way of fighting.

First of all, there is no such thing as "this character sucks, and this one rulezzz" when you look at a fighting game. Only way you can say "character name" sucks is for personal reasons you don't like him. I fought my friend in street fighter third strike and he is profesional. I played with Akuma he played with urien. At frist I looked and said "bah urien cant do spit, i got raging demon, fireballs teleport and all sorts of tricks. Well he whooped my ass in a 34 hit super art combo with Urien. Talk about skill huh? And urien has nothing but punches, kicks and tackles and his ancient reflector super. Then there was this match I had at my local arcade against a guy who i randomly asked to play me in marve| vs capcom , i even payed for it. I couldn't touch his Zangief and Hulk because that cat was fast with them and knew what he was doing. So elena is right you can't judge a character by ease ofuse or personal reasons (appearance etc.). It is all up to the human who operates the ord(cpu).

Well said
