  • R U SerIouS???? wat the fuck was that really really u r something else in my kevin heart Voice and i thought sf had bad ending!!!!!!

  • Ryo Sakazaki.

    FOREVER FUCKING ALONE.

  • @BBsgalore And Forever fucking AWESOME!!!

  • What Tha FUCK?! Is a Shotokan Warrior...and where can I go to buy it??!! You must have the ILL-NAH-NAH! All I'm saying is Japanese people are sexier WITHOUT the Fucking Blonde hair! I still don't know wtf you just said...but all I'm saying is...WHITE FOLKS CRAZY!

  • why do all the japanese characters have to be blonde???

  • @kasouyumi Be that you? Summoned Skull ?

  • @TheShotokanWarrior

    da fuck does that mean,man?

  • @kasouyumi you may not have the blond hair your self but the gamer has captured the soul of the blond hair guy the character was designed off from... either the creator of game has captured the soul of a blond hair guy.. or does the game capture your soul ? its best to make such heros who aren't YOU or you're sould may be doomed muhahahahahah! MU HA HA HA HA!!

  • This is the first time I saw Ryo with beard and I thought he was Tekken's Paul Phoenix.

  • HAOH SHO KOH KEN

  • Ryo actually looks pretty badass like that, wonder why they reverted back to classic.

  • Goddamn was Ryo hard as all hell in this game. I always love playing fighting games on the final difficulty and this guy ranks up there as one of the hardest.

    Being a big Ryo fan, I really wish SNKP would start using his Mr. Karate name and fighting style a whole lot more. I think it makes for an interesting turn of events if you ask me.

  • @Salesman Have you played KOF: Max Impact 2? Ryo use that name in that game and he's BADASS as you can imagine.

  • @egg64 Nope I haven't. Can't even say I've heard of the game to be honest.

  • wooa wait someone tell me: is ryo sakazaki mr karate????

  • He is the second. This is an older Ryo who took up his father's legacy. he appears as Mr. Karate in Buriki One, this game and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.

  • @CrimsonMoonM I think it's cool that SNK fans give thumbs up for regurgitating canon info on youtube.

  • @CrimsonMoonM actually in reference to the original Fatal Fury time line, Art of Fighting take place like 10 years prior to the 1st Fatal Fury so that why Ryo looks older. Art of Fighting world takes place in Fatal Fury world and vice versa.

    It was only when King of Fighters 94 came out did they change everything around to make them all relatively the same age. So KoF has it's own unique canon storyline.

  • ryo looks so cool

  • What a bad ass. The only character to become the first end boss of his debut game.

    His gameplay/moveset is fantastic in this game.

  • Ditto. They need to start using some of these moves and this costume proper.

    But i guess the chants of "he needs to be nerfed" would show up for such a badass :p

  • @zanretsukenXII That was Takuma, Not Ryo.

    But Bad ass is very accurate. He would take Ryu by storm.

  • @Neofcon um yes, Mr. Karate was originally Takuma in AOF 1 but later on Ryo becomes Mr. Karate (II)

  • I know I know....

  • @Neofcon UFF... Well capcom has not done older Ryu so we dont know... but Right now. Mr karate (Ryo) will kick Anyone ass.

  • @Neofcon he is ryo sakazaki takuma's hair is black look closer and check the story line this event happenet after AOF2 where geese escape pretend to murder jeff bogard

  • @rkhussain He's referring to being "the only character to become the first endboss of his debut game". THAT is NOT Ryo. That was Takuma.

    Even then, his statement is a little iffy. Mr. Karate wasn't even the first endboss of his debut. That was.....hell...Bowser.

  • @Neofcon

    I think he meant that Ryo was the first protagonist, who end becoming an end boss. I cant think of any other.

  • @MisterWhat Sick, I just searched his info. I hope they catch him and he gets raped in jail! Check out his page atyoutubedotcom /MisterWhat and let him know what you think of him.

  • The wolf vs the dragon...

    What a classic rivalry of fighting games!

    I remember like it was yesterday m arcade days competing in Fatal Fury Special, where this started and gave birth to the KOFs.

    Cool ending. Too bad I've lost my copy of Wild Ambition.

  • Damn right. Coolest rivality EVER.

  • you can download it and play it on emulator.

    If i get this game is only to play as THE SUPER MEGA ULTRA GIGA MISTER KARATE. JEJEJE.

  • eres un pendejo

  • and how exactly am i an idiot ? since you can read my comment im sure you can write in english

  • He means, you have a stupid thought.

  • Pendejo youre an idiot like you wish perfect asshole

  • ryo is not mexican....

  • ok, i read a long time ago that he was half mexican/japanese. boy that would explain that darkness he gets in the later games. that is the reason that the second kyogugen gym is built in mexico when southtown is destroyed. also why would his father have entered kof 94 with robert and ryo as team mexico?

  • Hes american/Japaneze.

    They entered as team Mexico, because the last AOF game wich came out at about the same time as KOF 94, happens to be in Mexico, most likely.

  • they coulda entered as the art of fighting team like how terry andy and joe were the fatal fury team but i really feel this is something the developers shoulda elaborated on. unfortunately snk is now a shell of its former glory

  • They were Team Italy in the first two KoF games. They didn't stop picking by countries until '96.

  • They have a dojo in Mexico. And the Team USA slot was filled. At that time the teams were chosen by country and didn't just enter as they pleased.

  • Exactly.

    I wouldnt disagree with the guy if his mother was never mentioned by name and nacionality, but she has. Simply as that.

  • AT LAST, SOMEONE THAT know that RYO AND ROBERT ARE not from USA.

  • Nobody said that.

    Only that Ryo is American by his mother side and Japaneze from his father`s.

  • @stalkingwolves

    His mother is American, according to bios. Robert, on the other hand, is sometimes described as Spanish, or Italian, so that could explain the dojo in Mexico. In fact, in AOF 3, Robert flies there to help a childhood friend, so he knows the place around.

  • @stalkingwolves Yes,you are right, he is half mexican, Robert is also mexican, Since his name is ROBERTO GARCIA, a full LATIN NAME.... Sadly some people think that is half American or half italian, and will be a silly Idea to enter A world tournament as another country that is not their.

  • He was never mexican to start with.

    Burro.

  • Ryo is Mexican, why all NORTH American think because he is blonde and awesome is from USA. It will be ilogic, if all fighter represent its country and Ryo robert and yuri. Fight as another country. BTW Yuri, And Robert Garcia are latin names, but I dont know if there any racism from snk or fans that make him italian. But before the aniversary website was done, in all places said Ryo`s mother/takuma die and to represent her they fight in for her country on the KOF. Mexico. BTW AM NOT MEXICAN.

  • For fucks sake. He is half American because AOF and the KOF game bios say that he half American.

    Forget the mexican team part. They couldnt be in the "Heroes" or "US team", or even the "Japan team", because those were already taken. And since AOF3 happens in Mexico, they end up using it.

    Damn.

  • thank you!! anyways they need to retcon all the timeline shit so they can show what exactly happen to the sakazaki's in the future because they never show yuri, takuma or king when you see ryo as mr.karate

  • Does Sakazaki sound like a Mexican name you tool? Takuma is Japanese, his mother Ronette is American. Look it the fuck up, and then SHUT the fuck up. Stop pulling things out of your ass.

  • His mother's name is mentioned. I said it. Typing in caps doesn't make you right. It just makes you look stupid. Yuri is a Japanese name, just like Ryo. Please, stop showing everyone what a tool you are.

  • You wasted your time popping out the womb. As is evident by the never ending fail that is everything you say. Now go peddle drugs or tacos, whatever the hell it is to do to support you 20 brothers and sisters in your one room shack.

  • His mother IS American, its in his BIOS.

    For fucks sake.

  • who is mr.karate?

    i thought it was takuma..

    y some people say it was RYo..

  • Ryo is the second Mr. Karate after Takuma retired. Since Fatal Fury takes place after Art of Fighting, Takuma is either retired or dead (SNK never says), and Ryo, in his 50's, becomes the new Mr. Karate.

    As far as I'm aware of, Ryo's Mr. Karate only appears in this, Buriki One and KOF MI2, and each of those is a different version of him as Mr. Karate. Takuma's Mr. Karate in pretty much everything else.

  • Isnt Takuma, Mr Karate in SNK vs Capcom?

  • He is. Just only in SVC Chaos

  • Ryo looks badass!

  • I agree. He looks AWESOME!

  • mr.karate is takuma in art of fighting

  • Ryo is the fucking MAN!

  • Ryo weighs more than Terry in reality. Robert is not that bulky. Robert is explained in AOF as a Batman like shape (200-210) while Ryo is more of 230-235 lbs.

  • Ryo aged 8 years and terry looks like he lost a few years.

  • They used the actual aged Ryo for this one

  • Unlock Mr. Karate

    Beat the game without losing a round and without using continues. If you defeat him in the fight, you will get him and Data mode. However, if you lose to him, (and don't continue) you will only get Data mode.

  • AOF 4 with this Ryo please!!!

  • Heck, arent they still doing the last Garou? Make him show up as a secret boss again.

  • That works too!

    If Garou had been a hit game financially, I'm sure Garou 2 would have Khushnood's master Ryo as secret boss or playable character.

    But he would be Buriki One style Mr. Karate.

  • One question Chronologically speaking which Ryo is older? THIS ONE FFWA,buriki One,or Maximum impact 2?

  • The Ryo in FFWA and MI2 is older. He would be in his late 40's by Mark of the Wolves.

  • Thanks, I hope SNK do a Mark of wolf 2 with the MI2 RYO,adult wild wolf and the Balanced Rock Howard. And as extra Ryo Son.

  • Too bad there's wasn;t an aged Robert in there too. You see an aged Robert is Neo Geo Battle Coliseum though

  • yeah, pity that. Altho going by some games and its chronology, Robert at this point should be taking care of his fathers company, so he likely wouldnt be here at all.

    Of course as far as the game itself goes, the reason Ryo was chosen was clear. First rival to Geese, and the first crossover character in another game (Fatal Fury) of SNK.

  • Yeah, the onlytime you see an aged Robert is in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum and KOF XI. I just unlocked the other day. What also gets me is that Robert wasn't in any Capcom vs Snk games. He would've made a good rival to Ken since Ryo rivals Ryu.

  • Exactly. Especially since Robert was considered equal to Ryo as well, back in AOF.

    Gladly we will have both in the last KOF, so im waiting to play that beauty, even tho i would wish they just redesign Ryo like this and Robert like in Neo Geo.

  • and now they will both be in KOF XII in their younger version. What I don't like is that they redrew the sprites. They made Ryo and Terry bigger than what they're supposed to be

  • Eh, im going to say that i like what i see so far. Its a good trowback to the AOF series, where the sprites look big. And i like that Ryo looks bulkier than Terry does, as he should be in my mind.

  • They probably should've made Robert muscular too. That way he can still appear to be Ryo's equal. Infact, he is Ryo's equal

  • From what i saw, i think he looks about as bulky. Maybe a bit less, but he also looks taller.

  • I'll have to look at Robert again. I'm also writing a fanfic where I have Ryo and Robert meet Ryu and Ken. When I finish it do you want to read it?

  • Sure.

  • cool I'll let you know when I finish it

  • Well your opinion is wrong based on the actual evidence, end of story.

  • Terry and Ryo have been equal rivals from the start.

    Why is it so hard to accept/understand that?

    Sure, Terry can beat Ryo. But Ryo can also beat Terry. They are friendly rivals like others are saying, check out SNK intro scenes.

  • i know that. I just saying in my opinion terry can beat ryo. Its mine opinion.

  • i love both characters especially ryo.

  • how old is ryo in wild ambition?

  • mid to late 30's

  • Ryo looks cooler and a badass i wish they had this style of Ryo

  • The updated FFWA Mr. Karate II :

    /watch?v=rKCGCOcL9Pk

  • Ryo has never looked more bad ass than he does in this game. Too bad they never kept that look.

  • Couldn't agree more there mate. Such a waste isn't it.

  • Yeah too bad, BUT in KOF: MI2 Mr. Karate's alternate costume is this FFWA look!

  • KOF: MI2 ??

  • King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2 (a.k.a King of Fighter 2006 in US.)

  • Takuma's nice, but Ryo's got more flare. Sorry.

  • Ryo claims to be the next Mr Karate. In truth, he's just a lame arse faker. You're only TRULY Mr Karate if you have the Tengu Mask on your face.

  • Good thing that he does in MI2, eh?

    In reality, he doesnt need he mask to be what he is. A badass.

  • Hey!

    Ryo spared the work for Terry and they now fight each other?

  • This game looks really good on the Hyper Neo. Too bad the thing died so quickly. Just Imagine if SNK made 64-bit system for the home console.

  • Ryo is a badass

  • terry can beat ryo

  • And Ryo can beat Terry.

    Those two are pretty much counterparts.

  • That doesnt really counter what i said. Both can beat each other, but if we use the original timeline, Ryo got the edge.

    But thats just my opinion. You got yours.

    In the end, either beat up the flame posers :)

  • Not really terry would still win IMO. Are calling kyo, iori and k posers.Kyo, Iori and K are great fighters and characters.

  • Against the original Ryo? Snk basically regards them as equals, with Robert at his peak in the mix as well.

    The introduction of KOFMI2, speaks for itself. And cannonwise, going by the original timeline, they both regard each other as the best rivals.

    Yeah, some are good characters. But not al, IMO. Ash is...well. Not what i consider a figthing character design.

  • thats your opinion. we could go all day about who is better. IMO terry is better. I like both characters.I agree Ash is garbage. Kyo, Iori, K are one of the best fighters in snk. Especially Kyo and Iori

  • It's not his opinion butwhat Ryo's design us by SNK. Not random fanboy's opinion.

    Look at all of past games with Ryo and Terry in it. In the winquotes, intros you always find them talking like they are longtime sparring partners or fighting/facing each other in intros.

    Even to the fact that Ryo in his KOF age is an equal rival to Terry. If Ryo goes by his real age, when he is Mr. Karate, Ryo is one whole level stronger than Terry up to boss level.

  • There is no point in reasoning with you anymore.

    You are stuck on your opinion and willfully ignoring everything else, including facts and solid evidence from SNK themselves.

    Regardless of your opinion, Terry and Ryo ARE equals, and Ash IS stronger than everyone else right now, and these statements are backed up by sourced evidence.

  • Man, are you serious? Did you actually read my posts? Go read them, and you will see the proof which can be found EASILY on youtube and also go search for official SNK canon.

    There is plenty of evidence backing up mine and MisterWhat's statements and none backing up yours other than wishful thinking, but I guess ignorance is bliss and it seems you like it better that way.

  • whatever you say. just your opinion

  • i know that. just saying my opinion. so back off

  • ok i know more about snk than you okay. I was only expressing my opinion and i see you can't handle it.

  • Fatal Fury Special

    KOF 94

    BNGC

    KOF MI2 intro

    KOF 11

    upcoming KOF 12

    Those are games that on the top of my head Ryo and Terry are shown as rivals and equals.

    Sure, your opinion can remain whaterver you like, but when you try to bring the "no evidence" clause, you are done.

  • Also Terry vs Ryo rivalry can also be seen in KOF 95, KOF 98 (99 Dreamcast), SvC: Chaos, and in almost all of KOF winquotes if you beat Ryo by Terry or beat Terry by Ryo.

    Counting the ones you mentioned, that is 6 games where Ryo n'Terry are shown as rivals/fighting in the opening sequence of the game, with KOF MI 2 being the most lengthy and accurate.

  • Sure you are. You are blind when people bring up canon evidence from the games, and bash back with nothing but opinion.

    My opinion happens to be CORRECT, because its actually backed up PROPERLY.

    Fanboys. You gotta love them.

  • whatever you say man, stupid fanboy

  • Calling SNK "fanboys" wont get you any cookie.

  • i am done with this topic. move on and shut up

  • Glad you decided to man up.

    Hasta la vista baby.

  • whatever good bye

  • What MisterWhat is saying is not his opinion but an understanding of someone who follows indepth SNK's intentions and storys and game/character aspects.

    Ryo has always been Terry's toughest friendly rival.

    Like I said, just search youtube for SNK game intro scenes, like KOF 98 Dreamcast, or KOFMI2, or NGBC, or KOF 94/95 etc.

    All of them plus more feature a Terry vs Ryo scene.

    Even that the new official KOF XII promo poster features an epic rendition of a Terry vs Ryo fight.

  • Thats just stupid. How can intros made by SNK be only "an opinion"? Do you even exist?

    Either can beat the other by the same percentage because SNK treats the two as the oldest and classic closest rivals of SNK history.

  • And going by current story, Ash is stronger than any of the main heroes, (K'Kyo Iori Terry Ryo Benimaru Ralf etc) regardless of how any of us think of him.

    I do however think Ash is a great design, an effeminate super strong and arrogant fighter.

    Very fun to play as I love charge characters.

  • Ash is strong since he stole Chizuru and Iori's powers. Stop being a fucking dumbass.

  • dude shut the fuck up.

  • Why? You wouldn't shut the fuck up when all the facts are laid in front of you.

  • whatever you say loser. stop talking shit behind a computer. Get a life. I am done with this. Stupid kid. dont know shit

  • I took big? LOL you talk big for someone with a small brain.

  • i am going to end this now. Your just a bitch ass motherfucker with no life other than the computer. You spend online talking junk to me, you have fail at life. I am going to be the bigger man, not respond.

  • your a just a little faggot who keeps responding to my comments.

  • LOL I guess you're not the bigger man. Not only are you a dumbass but you also have no honor lol.

  • whatever you say. lol

  • How are you Mr. Bigger Man? Not so big? LOL.

  • so sad. its okay. lol. dont care want you say.

  • Of course you care sweetie, that's why you keep coming back after saying you won't lol.

  • The real Mr. Karate II !

  • Nah, the real one in my mind will always be Takuma Sakazaki, who got that very title in the very first Art of Fighting game.

  • Check the statement again.

    Mr. Karate II (2)

    Other renditions of Takuma's heir like in NGBC are nothing compared to FFWA Ryo.

  • Ryo won the 1st KOF tournament in Art of Fighting 2,

    He beat Geese before Terry ever fought Geese.
