ryu doesn't 6-4 a lot of people in this game. If I had to list em it's probably juri, ibuki, and fang. That's it. He goes pretty even or slightly loses to pretty much every other member of the cast.

i never said guile on average was easier to win with than ryu. I just said ryu is not an easy character to win with when compared to the cast as a whole. I was just saying that guile will by design always have a handful of matchups that are "gimmes" and easier than any matchup ryu has. He also has a fair share of harder matchups. As for dirt guile has. Slow trigger boom is probably the strongest advancing move in the game, and ex boom is probably the best space controller out there. He's also got the only non reversible chip out in the game.
Who do you think has to work LESS than Ryu to win? In your opinion?
define what you mean by work.
Between having a relatively similar fireball game in 5 (not true in 4), a better meterless reversals, better buttons, and not bring restricted by charge requirements (ppl who don't play charge characters forget this) I would say that ryu controls space as well as guile.
Who controls the pacing of a match (aka who decides what "game" theyre playing) worse than Ryu?
ryus fireballs are not comparable to guiles. They take about 25% longer to throw and recover so it's comparable to a having a 3 frame jab when ryu has a 4 frame one. He's also got better projectile speeds slower than ryus slowest and faster than his fastest. As for better buttons I'd say st no is better than anything guile has but it's also relatively useless in neutral it's a pressure tool. Cr mp/mk are pretty good but comparable to guiles buttons.
No character makes it easier to outplay another player. But Ryu will give you more reward than guile for doing so, I think.
ryu almost never decides the pace of the match. He plays to his opponents weaknesses and avoids their strengths. It's why he's a balanced character. You stay away from Mika and get in on guile(assuming you can exert your will on your opponent which is reliant entirely on outplaying them not using some op toolset).
ryu is stronger than guile in a vacuum, that's absolutely true and I've said as much many times. I do however think you're selling guile a little short when you say anything guile can do ryu can do.
Oh I definitely agree that Guile fairs better in the Ryu matchup than Mika. No doubt.
Hard to learn?
Hard to everything. Sub-par neutral and very resource dependent.
fuudo. Du looks close though.
if she had a 2 bar trigger and decent mixup options with trigger on block she might be ok. As she is though it's too easy to kill her before she gets anything going.
