who is stronger: Ryu or Ken

[SkillClash]

something i always wanted to know

canon wise who is the better fighter, Ken or Ryu or are they equals?

I think its clearly Ryu. Ryu just focuses on fighting. Ken got married and shyt.

In street fighter 2 they both made the finals against Bison but Ken drops out to be with his wife. You should check out the UDON street fighter comic series from the mid 2000s. its pure piff

thats what i thought

it seems like ken has more raw natural talent, while ryu has to work and train for it

Ken >>>>>

Didn't ryu lose control and become like akuma?
Why did ken have red flames?

Why did ken have red flames?

While Ryu was always just following Gouken's teachings by the letter, Ken was always trying new shyt out. He focused all his energy into his fist and thus fire comes out of his fist on the dragon punch. He also came up with the Shinryuken on his own

Again, got that from the Udon comics. They seriously are awesome and have the answers to any question you could ever have. The art is really damn good too

Ken and Ryu are actually equals in their base forms. The scale tips in Ryu's favor when he goes evil.

There is another form of Ken called "Violent Ken" but that only came about when Bison fukked with him using Psycho power. Not really sure if that should count...

I think Ryu is stronger and Ken is faster. This is true when you look at the damage and speed of their attacks in the video games.

The answer is Ryu, and anyone who disagrees is a dummy head

Ryu is stronger than Ken, but Ken is who I liked using in SF.
Always seemed faster and combos connected easier.
