Ken or Ryu?
 

Who has better HADOUKEN in history?

Akuma

Gouken>Akuma

Dan > everyone

No

Makoto > Everyone

Akuma.

Ken

Real men don't need Hadoukens.

Zangief doesn't job to the hadouken. He can extinguish them with his bare hands and he can pass right through them with a spinning lariet.

Doesn't sound like jobbing to me.

Totally knew this was a Hadouken thread

Gonna go bring my SNES out of retirement thanks to this pic.

Zangief should have his own TV series and a single player franchise.

Gameplay wise: Ryu
Canon wise: Akuma and Gouken

In either case Ken doesn't even factor.

Fools.

Die horribly.

I second this.

When you think about the story behind Ryu and Ken, Ken is, overall, a better fighter.

If I've got this right, they are both more or less equal in terms of skill, right?
Ryu practices every hour of every day but Ken has a wife, kid and a huge business as well as a yacht he holds parties on.

Ryu practices constantly and can't be better than equal to his friend that has enough time between training sessions to date, marry, have kids, party and be filthy rich.

Ken is so much better than Ryu that he trains much less and is still just as good. Sucks to be Ryu.

Ken has the more powerful Shoryuken while Ryu has a more powerful hadouken and Tetsupperierkdsairereareeken.

I actually googled Tetsupperierkdsairereareeken to confirm it was not real :'(

Iop?

Kenny Omega :shifty:

Jago.

Oh, sorry, that was an Enduken or something like that.

Talking fireballs though.

Obviously its Shin Akuma because he can throw 2 of them in the air.

Now if this was about dick punches then its easily Makoto :shifty:

Sakura can charge hers...

Sir, I'm offended by the suggestion.

I know. It's a point I've had for a while that never came up. This seemed as good a place as any.

Thinking about it, if Ken can hadouken and he's into parties? Does he ever drunkenly hadouken? Maybe as a party trick.

We need a drunk hadouken user in SF5. Maybe Drunken Hobo Ryu? Hadoukens are urine stained yellow and drift upwards, completely missing the opponent each time.
He can fall to his knees and throw up when he does an EX hurricane kick or breakdown into tears mid Shoryuken, saying his opponent his really his best friend and he'll always love him.

So can Gouken and he can throw his into two directions at the same time.

Short skirt, high kicks. Your post is invalid.

I, for one, support Hobo Ryu.

I've been thinking for 5 minutes how to counter that and now I'm thinking "Damn, I can't".

Uh, Gouken has an awesome beard and looks very slightly like Sean Connery in pyjamas?

Quick, we need to start an online petition! They always work, right?

With all the stereotypes in Street Fighter, I'm surprised we've not seen a hobo yet, actually. They live on the street and they fight. What more do they need to do?

Knowing Capcom, they'd tease a hobo and then give us a retard with a troll face.

Hate you now.

If Hobo Ryu happens, they have to do the Team America scene where Ryu drunkenly stumbles in a alley and Chun Li yells from a window, " GET OUTTA THE STREET YOU FUCKIN BUM! YOU GAVE UP ON LIFE DIDN'T YA?"

He's a hobo already. Pretty sure Ken supports him. What does he keep in that bag? More headbands maybe.

I'd say Ryu's a "traveler". A hobo would be sitting by a burning trash can in the overpass stage, yelling at the kids to get off his "house". His "house" being that wrecked pickup truck.

Sakura is in the bag. or Dan.

Or maybe Ryu is actually just as rich as Ken and carries his millions around with him.

Dragon Dragon Rock the Dragon Dragon Ball Z!

Come to think of it; does Ryu fight for money? I'm sure a guy like that could bank by hustling people who challenge him. And none of that honor stuff, a guy's gotta eat.
