Yeah, they could smack him around big time.
BoF1 Ryu I say simply because unlike the others he actually fought the big bad villainess responsible for the crap in the majority of the series and whooped her ass! other than that he's just skilled with a sword.
BoF2 Ryu is very strong and could definetly deliver the smackdown, possibly(POSSIBLY keyword)the toughest one there is although 3 comes extremely close so I dunno. What i do know is BoF2 Ryu takes on a lot, and as strong as the third's dragons are, BoF2's Ultimate Dragon transformation is most probably the strongest dragon there is(if it isn't, then why would they call it the ultimate dragon?).
BoF3 Ryu is admittingly very powerful(although I don't like his look anywhere near as much as the others), and he is very berserk with some of them but I question if he's as tough as 2 since 2 has that ultimate Dragon as I already mentioned...
BoF4 Ryu compared to the last two? Strong, but to them he's a wuss.
BoF5 Ryu...
I cannot even begin to describe the anger I feel toward this one not only being nothing like any of the true ryus, but also his "Dragon form is him turning red all over, and pulling a Naruto Nine-tailed fox but in a panzyish way, and he has a sword. Plus the guy feels incredibly injured at what the others could handle easily!
Ooo, I was stabbed in the leg! First off the others dealt with much more extreme injuries than that and secondly I've been stabbed very badly before and i didn't bend down crying like he did, I freaking grabbed that thing and yanked it out. Course I got smacked down after that, but I didn't break down like that, I could take BoF5 Ryu excluding his dragon form!!!!
So yeah, 2 or 3 could do it. And hell that would also make one badass picture. Crono all red and Ryu all blue the two of them clashing swords while Crono has electricity around him and Ryu has fire around him. Sweeeeet...
