Ryu VERSUS Sub-Zero!!!

1-up Salesman · 07-31-2008, 07:56 PM

Ryu, winner of the first Street Fighter Tournament, VERSUS Sub-Zero, one of the most familiar characters of Mortal Kombat! Who shall win?

Ryu

Ryu, one of the strongest martial artists on earth! He is the main character of the Street Fighter series, and definitely one of the strongest.
His two signature moves, the Shoryuken, and Hadoken. The Shoryuken is an extremely powerful upward punch. And Hadoken, Ryu's 'Fireball' attack, where he shoots a beam out of the palm of his hand.

Sub-Zero

The Ninja of Ice, and one of the most popular fighters of Mortal Kombat.
He's been known to be very violent to his opponents, as we've seen him ripping out the spines of his enemies in the first installment in the Mortal Kombat Series. He can also shoot out beams of ice from his hands, and can freeze his opponents by blowing cold, freezing breath.

So, who do you think will win? Ryu, the Martial Artist, or Sub-Zero, the Ninja of Ice? Make your vote.

I don't know, is Ryu truly the main character of the Street Fighter series? He used to be, but now I don't think they really focus on him as much as anyone else.

I mean, Chun-Li is a huge important character, couldn't the same be said for her?

Except R. Mika, she doesn't belong in there.

The original two were Ken & Ryu, doesn't that mean it could be either/or?

ps, ryu

Dudley.

EDIT: Also SK, Ryu was the only playable character in the original street fighter. In SF2 there where more characters and ryu was no longer the hero, but hes still the series most recognizable character, even if Chun-Li is really close.

Ken would take a distant third.

Does it really MATTER?!?!

SephirothKirby · 07-31-2008, 08:16 PM

I thought in Street Fighter 1 you could pick Ryu or Ken.

Huh, oh well.

Your posting doesn't "matter" either, what's your point

1-up Salesman · 07-31-2008, 08:20 PM

Well, that was only if you had another player. You know what i ment.

1-up Salesman · 07-31-2008, 08:30 PM

Obviously, so far Ryu is winning.

**X-3** · 07-31-2008, 08:51 PM

I voted for Ryu, because he can shoot fireballs.

Also, Satsui no Hadou, I guess, if things get desperate.

1-up Salesman · 07-31-2008, 08:55 PM

what?^^ Nevermind

Swordmaster Link · 07-31-2008, 10:07 PM

*ahem*

For clarification, Ryu was the main character of SF1 and 2. Alex is the main character of SF3.

1-up Salesman · 07-31-2008, 10:47 PM

okay. But still, Ryu kind of resembles Street Fighter.

Vgfian · 08-01-2008, 12:27 AM

Now see, This should be coming out instead of this.

I mean,Just imagine.
MK vs Street fighter.

Dizzy · 08-01-2008, 03:05 AM

It's weird that this poll should come up because I was playing Sub-Zero: Mythologies last night.

Sub-Zero.

Minukelsus · 08-01-2008, 04:04 AM

I'm actually uncertain who would come out on top so my opinion may not matter, but if I had to choose I'd say Sub-Zero would win without any doubt. I mean just look at the guy, he looks total kick ass...nuff said, really.

Kargath · 08-01-2008, 04:14 AM

At most recent story power levels? Ryu.

Resembles Street Fighter?

Who is "Street Fighter"? The generic guy that shows up in the opening of SFII?

Also, what makes him the official main character of SFII?

Wasn't it canon that Chun-Li won? Wouldn't the focus be put on her? I think we discussed this.

I mean, honestly I don't *want* to argue this, because I'm seen the SFII Anime (and read a Manga series, but it wasn't really related), and I'm fairly certain that it isn't canon.

It's not that I want to argue, I just want to straighten it out for myself.

Guile won the sf2 tournament. Actually nobody won, since bison was assassinated, but otherwise Guile would have won.
