Street Fighter threat

[Omid]

Disscuss about Street Fighter into this thread

Do you think Ryu is stronger then Ken? In the actual anime video they were friends but in games they are often compared as enemies of eachother.

I am a huge SF fan

[Timothy2035]

Ryu would be stronger chi wise than Ken. Ken had some great abilities with the multiple hit attacks. Though Ryu too less effort, but I would say that the chi seen in the hadokens was the key to understand who was stronger. Ryu's hadoken is faster and somewhat larger than Ken's.

I am a huge Street Fighter fan myself. Though I am a Chun-Li enthusiast.

Yeah, I fully agree with you there but in what catagory are you talking about? the animated serie show or the game series?

Hehehe Chun Li is a good one indeed, she is from China right?

Timmy's first DBZ post, don't stay here too long otherwise your brain will begin to deteriorate.

Street Fighter Alpha
Akuma > Bison > Ryu = Ken

Street Fighter Alpha 2
Akuma > Bison > Ken > Ryu

Street Fighter Alpha 3
Akuma = Ryu > Bison > Ken

Street Fighter
Ryu > Sagat > Ken

Street Fighter II
Akuma > M. Bison > Ryu = Ken

Street Fighter III
Gill = Akuma > Ryu = Ken

I too am a huge Street Fighter fan.

Ken and Ryu have always been friends, but they spar to test their strength at various points in the series. A good term for them is friendly rivals. They both trained under the same master, Gouken, so their bond goes pretty deep.

Gouki (Akuma) and Gouken are brothers, and they both train under Goutetsu. Gouki, determined to be the greatest warrior of all, utilizes the forbidden arts of ansatsuken, namely, the Shungokusatsu (pronounced shoon-goke-saats), to kill his master. Gouken becomes a master, and trains many students at his late master's dojo, including Ken, Retsu, Ryu, and even Dan.

One fateful day, Akuma arrives and challenges Gouken. Akuma brings Gouken's life to an end with a single blow: the Shungokusatsu. Ryu vows revenge, but later, during his fight with Akuma, realizes the path to being a true warrior doesn't lie in the killing intent. Akuma and Ryu's match ends in a draw, and Akuma learns what it means to truly be a great warrior. Akuma then travels to the island of Gokuento to train for another battle with Ryu, and Ryu wanders the world as a street fighter.

For the record, Akuma is my favorite Street Fighter character.

You think Bison is stronger then Ryu yet weaker then Akuma? I have to disagree with this.

Street Fighter Alpha 2
Akuma > Bison > Ken > Ryu

Interresting, Ken is stronger then Ryu... now with what do you back up your arguement?

Street Fighter Alpha 3
Akuma = Ryu > Bison > Ken

Don't argue with that.

Street Fighter
Ryu > Sagat > Ken

You pick Sagat over Ken?? lol.

Street Fighter II
Akuma > M. Bison > Ryu > Ken

Hate to tell but your wrong about bison kicking Ryu.

Street Fighter III
Gill = Akuma > Ryu = Ken

I too am a huge Street Fighter fan.

Glad to know.

Ken and Ryu have always been friends, but they spar to test their strength at various points in the series. A good term for them is friendly rivals. They both trained under the same master, Gouken, so their bond goes pretty deep.

In the series, yes but in which exact episode are they going to sparr?

In the Games; no.

Gouki (Akuma) and Gouken are brother, and they both trained under Goutetsu. Gouki, determined to be the greatest warrior of all, utilized the forbidden arts of ansatsuken, namely, the Shungokusatsu (shoon-goke-saats), to kill his master. Gouken became a master, and trained many students, including Ken, Retsu, Ryu, and even Dan at one point.

Errmm did he really train Dan? must be my memory slipping, do you have a quote (from the manga since it is impossible to post the movie) that can back that up?

One fateful day, Akuma arrived and challenged Gouken. Akuma brought Gouken's life to an end with a single blow: the Shungokusatsu

Gouken was old and a retard, Akuma was younger and had the advantage; Ryu may seem weak but he is equal to Akuma.

Ryu vows revenge, but later, during his fight with Akuma, realizes the path to being a true warrior doesn't lie in the killing intent. Akuma and Ryu's match ends in a draw, and Akuma learns what it means to truly be a great warrior.

Heh, true.

Akuma then travels to the island of Gokuento to train for another battle with Ryu, and Ryu wanders the world as a street fighter.

Now I believe I missed the episode when they were fighting (again), do you happen to know which episode that was?

For the record, Akuma is my favorite Street Fighter character.

For the record, Ryu is my favorite Street Fighter character.

Hehehe Chun Li is a good one indeed, she is from China right?

Yes Chun-Li is from China.

I am talking about the games category. I have only seen a few anime episodes.

Well if it wasn't for Chun-Li, I probably wouldn't be as much a fighting game fan. I remember the day almost like it was 2 years ago, but its been longer....

I was at the laundromat with my mom drying clothes. I went over to the pinball and arcade section and looked at some other people playing the games. I noticed the little huddle around the Street Fighter II arcade machine. It was an intense battle as the players were using Chun-Li against Vega. Seeing Vega bounce and jump off the walls was from and seeing Chun-Li flipping around was cool, but what got my attention was when the Chun-Li player got the Vega person in the corner and then exploded with the lightning leg kick and won. I was like.........WHATTT!!!! What kind of move was that. I was instantly hooked. I couldn't wait to stick my quarter in the machine. I was beaten, but because I didn't know what all I was doing, but I enjoyed it. When Super NES came out, I bought one, and my first game was....Street Fighter II. Ah the joy I had. I learned the moves to be good, though the AI was rather cheap when Ryu showed up, but I learned to set up a strategy. My brother played against me often as Ken. I used to hate Ken, he was hard to beat, but I gave it my all. Eventhough Chunster in that game was behind the Ken & Ryu players for domination, I stuck with her. In later systems, I usually upgraded and a Street Fighter title was my first game. When Alpha showed up and showcased the whirling bird kick, my brother almost couldn't have an answer for me. He learned to avoid my fireball supers, but he had a problem with the whirling bird kick. It was better than spinning star. Ah the comeback was sweet and I practically practically got his respect and many times owned him in tournament bouts we had at home. Street Fighter 3 for Dreamcast later on set the tone for greater things to come combo-wise.

Though what I have now is Capcom Fighting Evolution. I wanted to play as Demitri, and I often like to use Demitri the vampire against Ryu. It's a cool game. Some downplayed it, but it has its value. One character I grew to like, but they didn't really push along was Sean in Street Fighter 3. He was Ken's pupil and cool looking. He reminded me of Zack the Mastadon Power Ranger when the Power Rangers first started. I liked Sean a great deal. Hopefully Capcom will return him to the ranks again. Another favorite of mine from SF3 is Alex. All muscle and faster than Zangeif. LOL! I liked to use Alex against Ken in SF3. Its an odd match-up, but Alex has a few tricks to explore. There was the italian boxer in SF3 that really rocked. I can't remember his name. Does anyone know?

Though the only other character in fighting game history that rivals my passion for Chun-Li is Mitsurugi of Soul Calibur 2. My favorite outfit choice is the white shirt with black and white big bottom pants, and he has the large afro puff hairstyle. That is almost so me. To be cool and yet different. LOL!!!!

Well you know I am a big Piccolo fan. Especially after he fused with Nail. Who knows, maybe I will bring the temper of the great Piccolo into the forum. Let me begin my floating meditations.

[Fabien]

I don't know what manga you're talking about, omid. I've never read a manga. I simply go by Capcom's story from the games. All of the anime and manga associated with Street Fighter isn't actually approved by the original creators at Capcom, so it is invalid.

As for Ken being stronger than Ryu in SFA2, in the ending they spar, and Ken wins. Ken then gives Ryu his red ribbon to remind him that he needs to train harder.

Yes, Gouken trained Dan. Dan sought to train under Gouken to get good enough to beat Sagat, and avenge his father's death. Once Gouken found out Dan's reason for studying ansatsuken, he expelled him from the dojo.

Gouki isn't actually more than a few years younger than Gouken. Gouki's embrace of the dark arts keep him from aging, or something. He does become a demon, after all.

[Timothy2035]

Who is the most disliked or odd Street Fighter character?

Mine would be Gen in Street Fighter Alpha series or either Dhalsim. Yet I love Dhalsims vocals when he is teleporting. LOL!!! But his yoga flame attack was so BURNING if the opponent got caught with it.

That's a cool event Timothy (if you are the same Timothy of EOC, sorry for blowing up your ship)

Sean was a weak fighter, serious he was.

He reminded me of Zack the Mastadon Power Ranger when the Power Rangers first started. I liked Sean a great deal.

Holy shinto, now that you bring that up, it was like 10 years ago when I played and watched power rangers lol.
Good old days, I am sure that the turtles was in it aswell.
That Tommy guy was the Green Ranger, well he came in later but before that the red ranger was my favoriet, didn't like Billy and Zack (altho Zack was cool, he was the black ranger with the Mastadon hehe), damn can't believe I am already 19...

Hopefully Capcom will return him to the ranks again. Another favorite of mine from SF3 is Alex. All muscle and faster than Zangeif.

That old russian from the Sovjet Union? lol Zangief was stronger then Alex hehehehe especially with that grabbing part when he grabbed you and swinged you in the air (SF2).

LOL! I liked to use Alex against Ken in SF3. Its an odd match-up, but Alex has a few tricks to explore. There was the italian boxer in SF3 that really rocked. I can't remember his name. Does anyone know?

Balrog you mean hehehe, he was cool.
Ken pwns Alex though.

Hahahaha I remember SC2, good game but it didn't have the same thing as Street Fighter 2 did...

Well you know I am a big Piccolo fan. Especially after he fused with Nail. Who knows, maybe I will bring the temper of the great Piccolo into the forum. Let me begin my floating meditations.

lol @ Piccolo, strong and wise.

lol but yeah this is true.

Yes, Gouken trained Dan. Dan sought to train under Gouken to get good enough to beat Sagat, and avenge his father's death. Once Gouken found out Dan's reason for studying ansatsuken, he expelled him from the dojo.

Why? I didn't get that part.

Gouki isn't actually more than a few years younger than Gouken. Gouki's embrace of the dark arts keep him from aging, or something. He does become a demon, after all.

Maybe his physical apparence yet his innerself is aging.

Good possibility aswell yeah, Dhalsim rules ehehe :P

Gouken teaches as his master did. That is, he teaches the art of ansatsuken, but forbids his students to use the art to kill. Dan plans to use his training to kill Sagat, and avenge his father's death. This why Gouken expels Dan from his dojo.

Akuma embraces the killing intent, and uses dark ki. This is what makes him a demon. In Street Fighter III, he has some gray streaks in his hair, so that leads me to believe that he does age, but just does so more slowly than a normal human.

The Street Fighter character that I dislike the most is Q. His design seems stupid, and not very well thought-out.

If he cannot use it for avenging his father, then what use is it for learning that martial art?

So from who did Akuma learn his martial art? it couldn't be Gouken.
Yup he can age, but I wonder why Ryu never ages hehehe.

Martial arts don't have to be used to kill. Most often, they are used to strengthen the body and mind, and to purify the soul. For many cultures, martial arts is a form of meditation.

You make an interesting point, however. Ansatsuken ("the murdering fist") is a fighting style that was created specifically to kill people. I don't understand why anyone would even teach this art, yet forbid it to be used to kill people. Weird.

Originally Posted by Omid

Gouki (Akuma) and Gouken both learn ansatsuken from Goutetsu. Gouki discovers the dark techniques on his own, and uses them to kill his master.

Ryu does age. He is just pretty young in the beginning of the series.

I am training ''Muay Thai'', maybe you heared of it somewhere? if not, go and rent Ong-Bak, sorta shows all moves of Muay Thai.
We also do not use it for kill, but more for tournaments and friendly fights.

Yes I am finding that weird aswell, something that is used for killing people is not going to be used for killing something that is for the good e.g. avenging Sagat in this case, he was evil anyway.

Gouki (Akuma) and Gouken both learn ansatsuken from Goutetsu. Gouki discovers the dark techniques on his own, and uses them to kill his master.

The student surpasses his teacher, interresting.

Ryu does age. He is just pretty young in the beginning of the series.

Heh, yeah he was like 17 years old in the beginning of SF2 (correct me if I am wrong).

[Fabien]

Originally Posted by Omid

I think you are wrong. I believe he is 17 in Street Fighter Alpha. Ryu is still a child when Gouken is killed, and that happens several years before Street Fighter Alpha.

[Omid]

I did mention SF2=Street Fighter 2 ?
I see no difference in the Alpha sign but I am sure he was 17 years old in the game series atleast (Street Fighter 2 Anniversaire series) that I am positive but in the Episodes I am a bit mixed up with those.

[Fabien]

The Street Fighter Alpha series is a prequel to the normal Street Fighter series. The games take place in this order: Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, and Street Fighter III. Street Fighter Alpha takes place many years before Street Fighter II. If Ryu were seventeen years old in Street Fighter II, then he would have to be a mere adolescent in Street Fighter Alpha, which he clearly isn't, as he fights toe-to-toe with Akuma.

[Timothy2035]

He had his best voice I think in Street Fighter 3. He sounded more mature and coming of age.

That's because he is more mature in Street Fighter III.

Nah, not Balrog, the other boxer who appeared in Street Fighter 3. He was a millionaire by story line. He had better moves than Balrog.

Yeah he and Ken were supposed to be 30ish. He had a better looking fireball too.

[Timothy2035]

Since we are talking characters, one newcomer I really, really liked was the guy who wore the baggy green army pants and yellow or red canvas jacket with the long fling of hair in the front. He was the friend of Guile. He could also do his flashkicks in midair (almost). What's that character's name? He also wore glasses.

Ah I see, so Alpha bassically is the past of Street Fighter.
Biased on your logic, it does make sense that Ryu was a adolescent, I guess he was about 26 years old in Street Fighter 2.

I found this one for you Fabien and all other SF fans:

Akuma Part 2
Part 2 is really interresting with the story etc. you gotta check it out and rate it.

Also a good one is Ken vs Raiden, he fights for Chun Li:
Chun Li and Ken

For the Ryu Fans
Even Luke Skywalker is in this one.

Oh no, Fabien had it right. It's Dudley. Deejay was the kickboxer with the big chin. He wore the kickboxer pants and had his chest exposed. Dudley had full body clothing and a cool hair cut.

To me, Akuma was his most awesome in the versus Marvel series. The teleportation and coming out of teleportation attacks were really cool.

That Marvel vs. Capcom series was really a big hit for 2-D fighting.

[Fabien]

Omid, I stopped watching that Flash cartoon when Scorpion beat Sigma, because that just disappointed me.

I too think Dudley has cool hair. As a matter of fact, Dudley is one of my more favored designs from the Street Fighter series.

I prefer the Street Fighter III incarnation of Akuma, myself.

They are very good, popular games, despite their overused cheap tactics, and overall unbalanced gameplay.

You pick out Akuma over Ryu? ashame since Ryu is equal to Akuma.

That Marvel vs. Capcom series was really a big hit for 2-D fighting.

Well true, but I didn't really like that game tho, I was more into Capcom games with their Street Fighter games hehehe.

But Sigma is a weak character...

I too think Dudley has cool hair. As a matter of fact, Dudley is one of my more favored designs from the Street Fighter series.

Dudley had hardly hair and was a royal someone, pretty rich too;

He was a sort of replacement for Balrog, but he was not so cool since he was too tall for making good combo's hehehe.

I prefer the Street Fighter III incarnation of Akuma, myself.

That is Street Fighter Alpha III right?
Akuma and Ryu had a fight one day but couldn't beat eachother since they were equal, but many people think that Akuma is stronger then Ryu but I cannot see why...

They are very good, popular games, despite their overused cheap tactics, and overall unbalanced gameplay.

It was on the Arcade and SNES, it was surely good at that time but I still enjoy the Anniversaire edition of Capcom.

I beg to differ.

I find that Dudley's combos are far superior to Balrog's. I also happen to like Dudley's design a great deal more than Balrog's. Balrog is just a stereotypical, dumb-as-rocks boxing guy. Dudley has true style, and that's why he's cool. Dudley is also a lot faster than Balrog, and I prefer speed over power.

Originally Posted by Omid

No, Street Fighter III and Street Fighter Alpha 3 are two different games.

Street Fighter III
Street Fighter Alpha 3

Do you see the difference?

Again, that fight takes place at the end of Street Fighter Alpha 3. After that, there is no telling which fighter is superior, or if they remain equal.

The fact remains that Akuma is the grandmaster of the school of ansatsuken before he fights Ryu, and Ryu fails to defeat Akuma. That means, at the end of Street Fighter III (the latest chapter in the Street Fighter tale,) Akuma remains the grandmaster of the school of ansatsuken. This fact is probably what leads most fans, including myself, to believe that Akuma is more powerful than Ryu.

[Timothy2035]

Who was your favorite new characters to the Street Fighter Series?

Looking at all the games, I would say that I really like Alex, but Rose takes the crown. I love her theme music and her shouting "soul spark,..deflect, deflect, soul spark!!!" A very good character. I have the Capcom Fighting Evolution now, and she was the one who helped me beat the end boss. That character was full of some spanking fight. Really could give Akuma a spanking too if you faced him. That's my opinion.
