Talk:Ryu VS Kyo Kusanagi/@comment-28868284-20170425181544

My bets are on Ryu, as he ties and exceeds every single category.

Strength Ryu easily lifted a boulder that's a few tons while the hermit Oro is sitting on top of it, making it a lot heavier. Kyo's hasn't displayed that much strength. Ryu takes it.

Speed They're basically on par. Ryu once fought on par with Akuma during SFIV and Akuma had a ki blast reach space before, which is Mach 800 in speed. Kyo's done a similar feat, where he fought on par with fighters capable of deflecting Zero Cannon blasts, which is Mach 800 in speed. It's a tie.

Durability No-brainer. Ryu survived punches from Akuma, who can destroy islands. Kyo may have taken direct deadly blows against godly beings such as Orochi and Saiki, but Akuma would maul the, both at the same time if he wanted to. Even in spiritual durability, Ryu takes it. Sure, Kyo had his soul ripped off, but Ryu is entirely immune to spiritual attacks thanks to the Power of Nothingness, which empties his soul.
