Guest Renegade Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Ken is good but Kyokugen style is the best With the exception of the Hau shokoken and the Zanretsuken, I'm not so sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest art_vandelay Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Ken. Ryu sure as hell doesn't look Asian. He looks incredibly Caucasian. Yes he does, they all do. But the fact that in every SF storyline he's listed as being Japanese; the fact that his character in the Van Damme movie was portrayed by an Asian; and the fact that the name "Ryu" itself is a very Japanese name would lead me to believe otherwise.

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted January 4, 2003 This seems like the right thread to ask this: Should I get C vs. SNK or C v. M2 first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Yeah, I know he IS Asian, just saying he doesn't look it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Renegade Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Depends how much your into fighting games. I myself prefer Capcom vs SNK 2 by a long way, but M vs C 2 does have the "wacky fun" element to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted January 4, 2003 vs Marvel2 has the 100 air hit combo gimmick vs SNK2 keeps it close to the KOF and classic SFII style no insane combos. this game also has 6 grooves to choose from depending how you like to use the supers: SFA, SFII, Rage, Super Saiyan power up and others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted January 5, 2003 I haven't played too much of the v. SNK games, but MvC2 is an awesome game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thetrendsetter Report post Posted January 5, 2003 Ken... No Question, It's Ken. How can you even ask a question like that... That's not a question... That's not even... Literate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Adrian 3:16 Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Ken is okay, but no one's fucking with Ryu. But then, I haven't really played SF since the days of Super Turbo, so in the modern era of 46 hit super death combos maybe Ken has gotten better. On a side note, has anyone else noticed that the characters of Benoit and Jericho are basically a "real life" version of Ryu and Ken? 2 guys who trained together and have similar styles, only 1 has short dark hair and a no-nonsense personality and the other has long blonde hair and is a flashy ego-maniac? Where have we seen that before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Hamburglar Report post Posted January 11, 2003 You're all on crack. Ken is the single most tosserish, arse-faced, cum-guzzling, gimp-gobbling, turtle-tossing, cockjock shithead videogame character ever. He is a cheap pathetic wannabe and has stupid hair. I despise him. I wish for him to die. Die Ken. Die in agony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Hamburglar Report post Posted January 12, 2003 1) Some of us voted for Ryu 2)That sounds hugely Homonphobic. 1. Well done. 2. What does? All right, I change cum-guzzling to Horse-cum guzzling. Everything else is free-range, non-denominational depravity, non-exclusive to either sex or sexual inclination. And its all true. Ken sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks. I would pay to see Blanka eat him very slowly whilst E Honda takes a shit in his face. And I'd laugh in doing so. There can be no further argument on the heinousity of Ken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Samurai_Goat Report post Posted January 28, 2003 Gotta say Ryu, when I played the SF2 Turbo (first one I managed to play), Ryu's fireball did more damage, his hurrican kick knocked down in one hit (yea, Ken's auto combo'd, but then you just land right in front of your opponent...) and I liked Ryu's more vertical dragon punch, I'd just walk right under them and hit them. So, if purely for nestalgia, or however you spell it, Ryu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thoth Report post Posted January 31, 2003 You're forgetting that in all of fighting games, that everyone has stupid pants except one person. Iori Yagami. Iori has the greatest pants ever. Not to mention he can grab Ken and Ryu after they land from a dragon punch, and tear their chests open with his super. What does Ken do for a super? Various kinds of dragon punches. Ryu throws a fireball and spins like a doofus. Iori tears people's chests open. I think this discussion is over. BONG~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Breetai Report post Posted January 31, 2003 Yes...Chun LI and her THIGHS OF DOOM~! Ain't nothing wrong with thighs of doom. *Looks around for a girl with thighs of doom* And I'll have to agree that Iori kicks the both of them. His double-special in KOF 98 where he drops you to the ground and tries to pound open your ribcage is a thing of beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted February 1, 2003 Yuri has the Super Bitchslap and the flying ass attack, so she gains points for that, but I digress. I favor Ken's MvC2 incarnation to Ryu's, so Mr. Masters wins this round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
