Devyn Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Damn. You fanboys drive a hard game these days. We love all these characters - Shinobi, Goemon, Batman (who is actually a superhero with ninja influence), and of course, the greatest of all - fuckin' Ryu Hayabusa. Give it up people. It's like bringing dollar store water guns to a super soaker convention. YOU CAN'T WIN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinj212 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I honestly don't even see Ryu Hayabusa as a ninja any more. He's forsaken all elements of stealth, creativity, and cunning in his combat and instead has changed to over-the-top gory hack n' slash. This isn't a bad thing, it just puts him in the league of Dante and Kratos rather than Tenchu and Goemon. Quite honestly I think Batman and Solid Snake are better 'ninjas' then Ryu ever was. Of course I'd have to go with The Batman as my favorite all-time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we love Ninja/Pirate Ryu as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Stfu about Ryu Hyabusa kthx. I would, if it weren't for that he's the best Ninja ever. I'de even stretch it and say he's one of my all time favorite protagonists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinj212 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Which game(s) did this happen in? both of the ones released in the past 10 years. the ones that did nothing Devil May Cry hadn't done before it (aside from admittedly more difficult bosses). Ninja Gaiden for the xbawks (plus black, sigma for the PS3) and Ninja Gaiden II for the 360. Not saying they're bad games or that Ryu Hayabusa wouldn't hold his own in a fight, just that hacking everything in sight to pieces isn't the ideal thing for a ninja to do. Maybe selectively hacking things into pieces, and sneaking around the rest of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's true, he's not much for sneaking around. If he says he's a ninja, he's a ninja. I personally like his high octane approach. Though the game play may be similar with Devil May Cry it's far better in Ninja Gaiden. As characters go Ryu is a much much better protagonist than any of the DMC characters - In my opinion...obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about games but if you want some really good cheddar you could watch the American Ninja trilogy movies. They're quite terrible though.
