Was he?

I personally don't think he was. I liked Ryu the best.

My friend and I were discussing this today. He claimed Guile was technically the best character and Pro-Gamers would agree on this.  I made a £20 bet that he wasn't recognised as the strongest character.

I had a look round on a few Google sites earlier . It looks like my mate may be right. 

It has been 10 years since I last played this game, but I can't recall Guile being the best character.

Is Nemesis responsible for the poll?  Cheesy    or is he innocent.   Own up, who was it that started the poll?

Ryu by a nose over Ken.

These two were miles ahead of the rest though.

I'm totally innocent. But Ken owns Ryu.

I played this all the time on the SNES when it came out. I was usually Guile myself. btw, Ken was slightly better than Ryu despite being a wee bit camp.

Yep I'm a Guile fan - always used to use him.  Only because I found his moves a lot easier to get to grips with - everything seemed to flow a lot nicer with Guile.

Guile was recognised as the best, but i always like playing as Ken or Ryu.

Ryu by a nose over Ken.


How were they different? Were they not identical in every way?

I hated playing as Chung-Li, Dhalsim, Zangief or Blanka.  They were the worst characters by a mile.

Ken's Dragon Punch went out to the side more, he also did 2 rolls on one of his throws where as Ryu did one. The damage difference was zero though, it was just character traits.

On later games Ryu has better fireball abilities and Ken had better Dragon Punches.
