Well... I tried. Bullsh!tting is something that I'm usually good at -I guess I'm out of my groove. 😉

But, seriously, Ryu speaks Korean in the game.

<< Wrong. They're brothers and they're both taekwondo fighters. That's a Korean art. When they do their moves, they speak Korean -the same names I was taught in my Taekwondo school for the same moves that they do. That's a Korean language. >>



amazing i was so mislead

taekwondo rulez! (as long as u know judo too)
 
FFMCobalt, im still trying to figure out how you deduced that ryu is a jamaican girl taking capoeria?

EDIT for skimming and not reading 😉
 


<< FFMCobalt, im still trying to figure out how you deduced that ryu is japanese and taking taekwondo? links? >>

Dude... you're incredibly dense. Read my posts. My point is that he ISN'T Japanese.

i'm pretty sure Ryu is japanese.....

hmm...i think they have a tie....cuz they've always been tied rite?/ neither have ever beat the other one...so..i guess they are the same...but then if anyone here reads the chinese comics...Ken turns totally evil and has these special powers...and blah blah...so yea...IF u'r talkin about based on NATURAL talents...i think they tie..haha
 
ryu is japanese. and i believe its pronouces Re-Yu.

i don't think anyone is from korea is streetfighter but i could be wrong. maybe if you look at the alpha series or the ex series there might be one
 
<<They're brothers and they're both taekwondo fighters>>
How can they be brothers if one is Japanese and the other is white? It dosen't really make sense to make Japan the home of a Korean guy.

I liked to use Ken over Ryu. Probably because Ken is faster and I win more with him than Ryu.
 
Ryu vs. Ken.. I always liked Ryu and always found Ken to be a mediocre fighter. When I played as Ken, it was a little harder to defeat Ryu.. This is on my Genesis playing Street Fighter II: Special Championship Edition

According to Nintendo Power mag, Ryu is very much Japanese, while Ken's nationality is the States. If what FFM says is true, then Ken is also Japanese.
 
FFM is totally wrong. Only 1 is Japanese, not both. Ken is a white american boy, aka bobby flay, and Ryu is Japanese, aka Iron Chef.

But they are both definitely not Japanese. 🙂

lol
 
Ryu would kick Ken's butt anytime.

So who here mentioned a SF2 challenge? I'm down and I think it would be cool since I'd beat all you geeks here. 😀

 
ryu is japanese. DUH.

if you don't know what mr unibrow (aka ken) is, please warn me when you go for a drive so that i can get the hell off the road.
 


<< Ken got the dragon punch better.

Ryu has the fireball better.

Ryu is stronger, i think.

Plus he has a cool charcol grey suit u can select.

so does ken...

Yes, even I said I was wrong. I have no idea as to nationality, etc. I know he speaks Korean, and that's it.

::sheesh::
