    Great thread, you’ve convinced me to stop lurking and sign up!

    Ryu, he’s a master of a style which is a combination of Shotokan Karate, Judo and Kenpo and has tapped into his chi which he can shape into fireballs, he’s a dark and brooding wandering warrior who battles with the dark side of his powers (he’s basically a Jedi). He IS street fighter and Blanka is just a mindless beast man compared to him with no real intent. Blanka is basically an electric mowgli. Blanka’s moves require a charge up whereas Ryu can perform instant attacks.

    Ryu all day!

    ^^^
    What him say. Ryu!

    Ryu.

    Mr. Street Fighter unlike the electrically charged safety blanket for newbies that Blanka is.

    Perfect opportunity to say "safety Blanka" and you missed it. You disappoint me.

    A poor little baby who survived a plane crash and was exposed to electric eels. Everything was against him but he succeeded in life. Blanca for me.

    Ryu because I love how he wears a white suit. He should have played for Liverpool in the 90's.

    What a farce. I hope everybody who voted for Blanka votes for Sagat in the final round.

    I voted Blanka but it was a tough one. He has had a good run and was the underdog.

    Time for Ryu to take what's rightfully his.

    But hasn't Ryu beaten Kenny G every time they've faced off in a Vignette? Or in a Montage?

    Sagat, a large part of my formative years was spent shouting 'Tiger' along with his various moves.

    Ryu is Mr. Street Fighter, but Sagat is infinitely cooler than him.

    Can Sagat really be AH's favourite SF character?

    Go on, I like an underdog, Sagat!

    Gutted that Ryu and Blanka met in the semi finals. My 2 favourites.

    Given that Blanka has been dispatched, Ryu for the win.
