@Omac, When I played Ninja Gaiden Sigma, or whatever the version was on the PS3...
I played ambush the game, accept I'm never ambushing -_-; Ryu must make like 10 decibels of noise everywhere he goes because everyone seems to know where I am at all times.
I rode in an elevator... how cool is that >_>? I could have ninja sprinted, teleported, appeared in a smoke cloud... but no... my dumbass rides the elevator.
Traditional Ninja did things like Spy, poison people via hanging on housing overhangs and dangle the string down to let the drop of poison F*CK someone up... but no... Ryu is a walking death machine >_>; None of the above.
Ninja stars were generally used as a distraction, I blow through the things like they're water in Ninja Gaiden >_> Long range, pelt his ass with Ninja stars! GAH
Ninjas often used tons of grab moves to quickly end they're opponents, the only thing I got to see Ryu grab in the amount of time I played the game was his damn swords >_> or a tree branch which I could gaily swing around xD
A traditional ninja would have been much more adapted in the world of picking locks, or seeking a quiet alternative method... Ryu either jumps through a window, kicks a door open, or rams innocent school children into them to get them to open...
I just find him to be an absolutely HORRIBLE ninja... he's clearly meant to be an action hero... and maybe Ninja's just weren't the best idea for that >_>;
