The Great Videogame Versus - Ryu vs Liu Kang |
Ó
Ryu vs Liu Kang
Why the fight?
They're both sort of your stock beginning character, and they have red bandannas... it's on!
Vital Statistics:
RyuHeight: 5ft 7 inches
Weight: 150lbs
Training: Both Ryu and Ken were trained in the lethal martial art or Ansatsuken specifically created for assassination called Shun Goku Satsu although both fighters practice a variation on the style that is non-lethal. Ryu's more deliberate fighting style is slower but he is capable of doing more damage per hit, he is also widely renowned for the awesome power of his "wave fist," or Hadouken technique.
Special Moves: Hadouken (wave motion fist is a powerful Ki projectile attack), Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku (tornado whirlwind feet is a powerful ki based attack which creates a miniature tornado beneath the attacker, lifting him off the ground and toward his opponent), Shoryuken (rising dragon fist is a powerful uppercut in which the attacker raises himself off the ground to increase the impact of the punch)
Misc: Ryu is a wandering warrior, "just a Japanese fighter passing through", who has spent his whole life in the pursuit of physical, spiritual and mental perfection. Ryu's strength of will and discipline are in a never ending battle against the Satsui no Hadou, an dark, death dealing form of the martial art he practices, a battle he has lost only once, during his first streetfighter tournament in which he defeated the muy thai warrior known as Sagat.
Upcoming Games: Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting
Liu KangHeight: 5ft 10 inches
Weight: 185 lbs
Training: Proficient in Jun Fan, Pao Chui, Jeet Kune Do, Choy Lay Fut, Monkey and Dragon fighting styles, but uses mainly Jun Fan and occasionally Pao Chui, which loosely translates to "Cannon Fist".
Special moves: Bicycle Kick (Kang launches across the screen, burying his moving feet into his opponents chest with animalistic ferocity), Fireball (Liu Kang creates an energy build up, which he fires in the direction of an opponent), Dragon fatality ( Kang transforms into a dragon, and consumes his opponents upper body).
Misc: Former follower of the shaolin White Lotus Society, he became earths greatest champion in the battle against Outworld, finally falling to a deceptive sneak attack by Shang Tsung, who broke his neck and swallowed his soul. His body would live again however, in the the form of his mysteriously re-animated corpse, and his spirit was freed from Tsung's demonic grip by the thunder god Raiden.
The Outcome:
This is a tough one. On the one hand Liu Kang has defeated a startling number of mythical beasts in his time, coming back from dead and even becoming the undisputed champion of Mortal Kombat, he's also got that nifty ability to turn into a flesh eating dragon. On the other hand, Ryu was an absolute badass in the Japanese version of Streetfighter II: The Animated Movie, he's a dedicated fighter and one of the most spiritually and mentally sound characters in all videogamedom. Both abhor murder, but they'll do the deed if push comes to shove. I'm a Streetfighter fan, my heart wants Ryu to win so bad, but my brain knows Liu Kang wins this one. Kang emerges victorious!

Ryu will kick kangs ass anyday. Whats kang got, a freaken fireball and a slide kick. Kang = bruce lee ripoff neway
Ryu is a veteran in ass whooping. Liu Kang...is garbage. Nuff said..
Liu Kang Mortal Kombat champion is gonna whoop ryu's punk ass.
Dante going up against Vincent is nothing. Vincent is badass but Dante has got it down. Vincent don't got a guitar that he can hit people with or a sword. Dante should go up against Squall from FFVIII because Squall has a gunblade. That would be great. Oh and Ratchet should go up against Jak. They are exact opposites.
More suggestions Gordon Freeman vs Someone Sam Fisher vs Snake
hey ...is this like the group matches or is it just elimination ? you should have qualifiers pit against one another like in the world cup. liu kang and snake are though to the second round . is anyone taking bets on this?
only qutoe that would be worthy! GaY!!!!!
You know I hadn't thought about that. Let me mull that idea over, and we'll decide whetehr to make it a tournament or not, probably by the time the next Versus match rolls around.
Ryu would kick his ASSS!!! EASILY!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
masterchief would own them both
Ryu has got the greatest fighting potential!!! Liu Kang is pure ***** :P One Hadoken will OWN ALL :D HADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKEN!
I would like to see Sora from KH vs someone, & Squall from FFVlll vs someone too. I don't really know who they would face, but i would like to see them in there.
sora vs cloud and cheif vs freeman
it says it all in the height and weight. plus ryu looks like he's on steroids.
liu has this one won! only because one thing, he can turn into a freakin dragon!!!!!!!!! woOt!
Squall owns...everyone thats it...
Ryu ...easy
How bout snake vs Sam fisher My money is on Snake
Liu Kang would burn Ryu faster then he csn even say Haduken..
STREET FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kang would try to pull of any of his moves and ryu would send a blast his wayso big it'd f'n incinerate him.
rather complicated fight... I would tend to Ryu for the win because for me he is the "nicer" character... and considering the animated Series "Street Fighter II V" he has some more power as mentioned above... it's not a simple "Hadouken (wave motion fist is a powerful Ki projectile attack)" but even larger, bigger, more energetic... ... yeah.. okay... my personal opinion For new Versus.... Duke Nukem vs. Gordon Freeman Tony Versetti vs. Don Corleone Jin (Tekken) vs. Kasumi (DoA) and Dante could walk up against.. probably the Soul Reaver?
Due to comic reasons id love to see dante fight pikachu, but id like some kind of dante VS nightmare fight. a little bit more serious.
Ryu could kill him just by looking at him...
Lou Kang, pwns Ryu.
I agree with Liu Kang winning. He can turn into a freakin' dragon, man! Right, ideas... Cervantes vs. the dude from Ninja Gaiden Pikachu vs. Mochi Viewtiful Joe vs. someone Ratchet vs. Jak Dante vs. Vincent/Squall Rydia (FFIV) vs. Yuna (FFX/X-2) Master Chief vs. Gordon Freeman (He's got a crowbar!) Bahamut (FF series) vs. Hungarian Horntail (HP:GoF)
This fight is as one sided as Auron vs Sephiroth. Sephiroth would kill Auron in one hit, Alucard would own Simon easily and I can't believe you picked Liu Kang over Ryu. Ryu has defeated Akuma who is 10x stronger than anything in Mortal Kombat. O well, its all opinion anyway.
I can't pick who i would want to win with Link and Cloud. They are so equally powerful. Who do you think?
Mortal Kombat has always been a *****ty fighter, its success entirely based on shock value. Come to think of it, wasn't Liu Kang's combo like Up-Right-Down-Left? Lame. The real fighter, please.
Why can't we have votes (by registered users only, preferably), or a forum poll? Almost a non-sucking aritlce.
dante will massacre Pikachu Its no contest make dante face vincent lui kang can whoop ryu anyday its should be kang vs ken
LUI KANG CAN WHOEP ANY1'S ASS CUZ HES' SO MUCH COOLER The battle of the nerds, commence!
Ryu kicks ass. He'd kick Liu Kang's ass easily. And Ryu was in a better movie. I'm talking Japanese wise of course.
if u could vote itd be fairer other wise its just one persons opinion on all of it. i prob wont register but itll be good to see who really is better/popular..cos ryu should have won that imo
why? because I'm not a fan of fight games, but I love megamans, and in megaman x the hadoken kill even the last boss of the game in only one hit LOL
man this shouldn't be THAT hard, just make votes, same for the articles, make a winner, but not winner, only the favorite, and we decide with our vote, please, you NEED to do this or else we can't have our opinion in the fight at all.
Yeah, votes would do much better. Lui Kang does kick Ryu's ass indefinitely. But I would much rather see the opinion of QJ's visitors, no offense to Chris C.
I am a big Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter fan, but I think Ryu would win easily. You mentioned that Street Fighter controls and graphics never evolve like Mortal Kombat. You obviously haven't played Street Fighter EX3 yet. It's a PS2 game. The graphics aren't that great, not even as good as the newer Mortal Kombat games, but they're definitely not like the old street fighter games.
this is a good Idea I would really suggest this as a show make it awsome and animated... it would rock, sorta like celebrity deathmatch It could make a considerable amount of money.
"they're definitely not like the old street fighter games." As if that's the good thing. That game was terrible. They should've stuck with 2D. Between that and the first three hand-drawn Metal Slugs, 2D animation had much more to offer than the rushed franchise cash-ins we see today.
I'm still not seeing Scorpion VS Sub-Zero in the upcoming list... why is that? That's one of the best match-ups.
yea wheres sub zero vs scorpion? i want to hear that one. other suggestions: Zero vs X (both from megaman x and from megaman zero) Protoman vs Bass (both from megaman games) Carnage vs Venom (both from spiderman games) Kyo (KoF) vs King (tekken) spiderman vs daredevil spawn vs carnage superman vs green lantern goku vs naruto (lol) the flash vs sonic come on chris u know u like some of these suggestions. just tell me what u guys think and hope some of them end up comin on. ps: goku will most likely kick the livin crap out of naruto. any suggestions anyone???
dante ought to fight pitfall joe... or that chap from flashback. or prince of persia. i'd like to see some harder fights, not with pansies like snake or master chief... i'm talking pac man vs q-bert, or archer maclean's mercury blob vs the beach ball from kula world. i'd like to see a pikmin vs a micro machine. yeah, chars i'd like to see put in 'vs' battles, gordon freeman, the marine from doom, the rock, ultros (from ff5 or ff6 , i forget).
Clank VS. Daxter enough said
link would destroy cloud with his new move from SSBB come on as for samus and master chief samus wins hands down
Clank VS. Daxter enough said
guyz scorpion beats kangs ass and ryu beats scorpion and akuma wins!!! ^.^ datz all it takez roflmao
ryu is from street fighter... that sounds like back street boys hand bags at dawn.... Liu is from Mortal Kombat... ryu might go for damage... but Liu will be fightin for his life until only one remains... THAT DOCUMENT IS FLAWED ANYWAY... LIU HAS FIRE SHOOTING ATTACKS and FLYING KICK! Liu Kang has more history and Culture too, and he is the ancestor of Kung Lao!!NOUF SAID... Liu has more of a reality touch to him, ryu is a batty boy. Besides... Liu Kang with come back to life until Ryu is laying in pieces... how can you argue against that??
Liu Kang wins, hands down. Ryu would probably kick his ass hard, but Liu Kang would kill him after the fight ;P As for the VS Dante... Who else is badass, *****y, slightly feminine, has demon ties, and can do death defying moves with numerous weapons?? I'd say Castlevania's Alucard, but he's already taken.... I wanna see Cloud vs Pyramid Head - Clash of the gi-normously overcompensating swords!
Bullsh*t!!!! Liu Kang got killed before Deadly Alliance... So he's beatable. Ryu on the other hand is undefeated.
Since there is no equall competitor against masterchief, I thought it could be fun to see him battling yoshi. Just for the kicks'
No doubt a warrior trained to save the entire world would have a scope unmatchable by a fighter that has his personal interests only. So no doubt Liu Kang is such a character developed by Midway to win all battles. Everyone would like to be like him. I'd like to invite all of you folks on online matches of MK:Armageddon when it arrives this October, on both PS2 and Xbox !
Obviously you all are blind.. Chuck Norris would pwn all. "Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups. He pushes the Earth down."
street fighter !! i like street fighter u know street fighter vs marvel and capcom vs snk
omg Liu Kang is way faster and stronger than Ryu. i like streetfighter but come on. Ryu wouldnt beat Kang in a million years. I got some suggestions: CJ (San Andreas) vs 50 Cent Jak vs Crash Bandicoot Ding Chavez(Rainbow Six) vs Sandman (socom ftb) Wolverine vs Vega(Street Fighter)
yea thats true chuck norris would beat them all to a pulp, rape em, rip their heads off, shiat down their throats, and practice his drop kicks on their dead bodies (as if he needs practice...) and yeah chuck norris isnt hung like a horse, a horse is hung like chuck norris...
Dante Vs Cloud Dante vs Squall Dante vs Kratos(God of War=total rip off of Devil may cry) Dante vs Sephiroth The samus vs master chief is the closest match up so far and most evenly matched up. I actually think Samus would win because she is more equipped than MC. I mean come on she flies in on her ship blasts MC with a plasma gun blast and he is as good as dead. He could go invisible and she would still see him with the Xray visor. He takes out the ship with a rocket launcher but then she turns into a ball and power bombs him. over and over again. one of her charge shots is like the plasma pistol taking off his shield. One charge shot and like 3 shots and MC is dead. MC could win this one but I don't think he would pull it off. The odds are against him. Pikachu against Raiden (pointless but funny) Sam Fischer against agent 47 Link against Kid Icarus
does anyone know where i can find naruto vs pokemon
Anyone ever saw Ryu Vs. Scorpion. Its hella crazy. I think it was a flash. In the begining Liu Kang got blast by Ryu in the first shot in the begining. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/276650
i think fisher could beat snake by keepin it dark but thats me o and agent 47 vs max payne doesnt sound that exciting cus 47 is F*%$ing craz-e

Liu Kang Vs. Jin from Tekken would be a good fight since Liu Kang already beat Ryu, and that was a good fight.
Liu Kang Vs. Jin from Tekken would be a good fight since Liu Kang already beat Ryu, and that was a good fight. Oh ya, forgot I voted for Liu Kang.

Ryu Vs. Goku.
How about Keshi (mortalkombat) Vs LiuKang (mortalkombat)?
Goku could kick his ass as a 10 yr old boy or as a 80 yr old Giant Monkey
