Best Computer Game Fighter: Round 41 (Varied Time)

['Foretold' Joker]

Thought I'd bring this back for one round as another thread inspired me.

A while ago King put down some samurai girl and her pet hawk.

Has King met his match this time?

Fight!

Originally he looked for revenge against the man responsible for his mentor's death. Instead he developed a friendship with Craig Marduk and now seeks the man who assaulted Craig.

vs


Ryu

Adopted by Gouken, Ryu learned a toned down form of ansatsuken without the killing "touch". However, when he nearly lost to Sagat he lost control and unleashed it. After finally rejecting it, he's been travelling and perfecting his non-lethal yet extremely powerful version of ansatsuken. Ryu focuses on his training, but has won a few friends and rivals like Ken, Chun-Li, Sagat and Sakura. Always seeking his next challenge Ryu is defined as the "wandering warrior".

Trivia

The last 8 contenders in this occasional poll spelled out Hadouken!

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

King is awesome, Ryu is a douche. Guess my vote.

[Gopher Mod]

King is a capable fighter, but he is NOT an icon in the fighting game universe.

Ryu wins this.

[Single H]

King wins. I like Tekken far more than Street Fighter. Athough Ryu prob would win I have to vote King.

[J is Thunder Justice]

They both rule, but I'm going with Ryu.

[Deleted]

King Wrestlers>>>>Karate

[The Ultimate]

I gotta give my vote to Ryu.


King may have a good look and some badass chain throws, but Ryu is an icon. He is the measuring stick to which all other fighting game characters are compared. So, the vote goes to Ryu.

['Foretold' Joker]

The results are in Ryu has dethroned King.

Let's have some suggestions for Ryu's first opponent. (I won't accept anyone from Tekken, Streetfighter or if there name begins with 'S')
