User blog comment:Oshbosh/Season 2 Battle 4: Strider Hiryu vs Ryu Hayabusa/@comment-4552610-20130317005421

Undead RVD's "Ninja Ninja Revalution!" Edges:
Close Range: The Cypher blade is made of plasma but the Dragon Sword is magical, meaning the plasma won't slice through, and far more devastating.
 * EDGE: Ryu

Mid Range: The Kunai are great and all but Ryu is fast enough to dodge them or deflect them with the Lunar Staff. Overall, the Staff is going to hit Strider more than the Kunai hitting Ryu
 * EDGE: Ryu

Long Range: Same goes for with the swords. Cyber Bow has plasma but the Fiends Bane Bow is magical and far more powerful.
 * EDGE: Ryu

Special: The Oprion Bots will give Strider numbers but Ryu has faced overwhelming numbers before. Ryu has allot of Nipo powers and they are all very versatile.
 * EDGE: Ryu

Overall: Ryu is the greatest Ninja of all time. Strider is nothing more than a cyber copycat. Ryu has taken on the likes of demons and gods. No way Hiryu will win.
