Game Debate to the Death! Ryu VS Ken VS Guile photo

Last week was a battle between a fatty and a freak, and the Dtoid Army chose one long arm over a thousand hands:

  • E. Honda: 23 votes
  • Dhalsim: 41 votes - winner!

This week is the last fight of a long round one. Just as the first two battles were dedicated to just Mortal Kombat characters, we're ending with two Street Fighter exclusive fights. Last week was the first, and this week calls for another three for all. Here's a list of the winners so far in round one:

Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Venom was a good triangle of pain because of how bizarre all three characters are in their series. However, this time the three contenders were chosen for how normal they are compared to the rest of their enemies. Who would win in a fight between Ryu, Ken, and Guile, and why? Cast your votes, give us a reason for your decision, get some friends to vote, and check back next week for the winner. 

Which two fighters will start off round two? Feel free to give some suggestions for who you'd like to debate over next week!

Tough one, but I'm going with Guile.

Never spent a lot of time with Guile, so I'm going with Ryu. Although this will probably be the only round he gets my vote.

I'm going to have to go with Guile.

If I'm using Guile and fighting against Ryu/Ken then you need to be VERY creative. Guile has an answer for everything. Especially early on in the SFII series, in the later versions they gimped him quite a bit.

He can change into akuma& ken KTHXDIE.

I should pick guile though, his upperkick owns.

BUT ALAS, RYU FTW!

Ken Masters is the best, no doubt.

Everything Ryu can do...but with FIRE. Not to mention that Dark Ken is one of the scariest sights ever in a videogame.

Ryu is like everybody's best friend because hes so damn honourable, and the other two are pretty boys.

Ryu gets my vote.

@TheMartino - Dude, I swear I saw Ryu in purple.

I say Ken. I never liked Guile for kicking my ass. Plus, Ken has a hot fucking wife and a cool personality, unlike boring i must train Ryu.

@ Nex:
If by "badass" you mean "woman"... ;)

Ryu FTMFW. When it comes to street fighting, you can't get better than Ryu. He's a punk, he's a warrior, and he gave Sagat that awesome scar on his chest. Metsu Shoryuken!

Ken. Everything Ryu can do, Ken can do faster and better. And Guile, well, Ken is The Narrator to Guile's Angel, y'know? 5 Gil to anybody who sees what I did there.

I vote for ken, i could always beat ryu without too much trouble but had a hard time the other way around.

A vote for Ken or Ryu against Guile is a vote for FAIL. Stop it.

guile,

for this reason below:



Ryu and ken are just too similar for my taste, it's like asking o pick between solid snake and big boss.

Ryu... just iconic to Street Fighter! Ken's a very close second though.

Ken.

So that when the battle is over, he can proclaim, "Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna go home and have sex with my wife."

Ryu. Anybody who has chosen Ken or Guile is obviously a latent homosexual.

Guile. All but about 5 people in this thread are shamefully un-American.

Also, Sonic Boom.

Guile's goal was to beat Bison. Ken's goal is to be as much like Ryu as he can. Ryu's goal is to find the guy better than Bison and beat HIM... then the next guy... then the next guy.

Ryu would win.

Guile, if anyone cared to watch the anime Street Fighter II in the second and third episode Guile completely demolishes both of them

Guile all the way. Much respect for Ryu and Ken, but Guile would fuck em both up.

Ryu for the win, Guile is a cheap fag and Ken is just a bit to cocky for me.

I never realized so many people liked Ken. He was one of my least favorite characters in SFII. He's like Ryu but significantly less hardcore. So really for me, this is just a battle between Ryu and Guile, and while I could kick some ass with either, my vote goes to Ryu, because I think I used him more. Plus, he's like, the poster boy for Street Fighter. Sorry Guile.

Guile. He has a more original name than either ken or ryu plus he only needed 2 special moves and could throw two different ways in the air. Sonic Boom ftw!

Oh, don't forget the handcuffs and statue glitches, I've pissed off many an opponent by walking away from a game after handcuffing mwahahaha I know... I'm an ass. It's great.

Well Guile is crap full stop, the sheer fact you have to hold back for a second then press forward and punch to do a sonic boom is rubbish, takes too long!!
Ryu is pretty good, but he is too slow, powerful but slow.
Ken wins hands down, he is bloody fast and has a quality flame dragon punch, and just better, non of this self righteous bull crap either!!
