I feel like Ryu has got almost everything covered, being able to either counter all Peppino does or do it better.

• Hand to hand: No need to explain
• Acrobatics: He has better options and is used to fight characters who pull off the same maneuver and in more impressive manners.
• Peppino's attacks based on throws and chomps are hardly countered by the massive LS advantage and by Ryu also having experience against characters using such tactics and in better ways.
• The charge is powerful but not by a devastating amount and Ryu should either be able to easily deal with it (since it's just a ram) or stop it with LS
• Ryu's got better ranged options and he frequently trains with Dhalsim, who stretch his limbs much more
• Ryu's heat-based attacks surpass Peppino's resistance.
• Peppino's rage power puts him to 8-C, but still within a 3x multiplier, while Ryu's makes him High 7-A.

Peppino's elasticity, regeneration and most of all stamina could be problematic (or rather annoying), but he still takes damage nonetheless.
Peppino's got attack reflection, but Ryu's a master of parrier and projectiles. Coupled with such ability being rather common in the verse, I don't see it being too difficult to circumvent.

The location doesn't really favor neither of them, but Ryu's used to fight in weird places, and it being a tower could give him the chance to yeet Peppino away in case he needs it.

Even in Vs Battles, Peppino suffers.

Maybe he'll fair better against Marisa once the SF6 profiles are ready. But that'll be a match for another day.

Sorry. I was at a grad party for my friend for like 8 hours. It was fun, but I left my laptop at home.

 

[SamanPatou]

You don't have to apogolize, I wasn't pressuring you in the slightest, I only wanted to say that there's no need to wait for grace anymore.

Cool.
