okay its exactly what it says on the tin
its a forum game duh
one person writes could rikimaru beat *insert random character here*
and the next poster writes weather he would win or lose and how/why.

il start

could rikimaru beat tidus (out of final fantasy x)

Yeah he could beat Tidus! While Tidus begins to take his turn Rikimaru sneaks up from behind and beheads him. YEAH!

Could Rikimaru beat Solid Snake from MGS? THATS A TOUGH ONE!

Yes, he could.

Snake would see nothing until he's dead.

Sorry, but stealthwise, Rikimaru>Snake.

Could Rikimaru beat Ayame?

No i dont think so. There is evidence that Ayame is still careless with her stealth, in Fatal shadows! But in a fair, one-on-one fight... it is hard to tell...

Next match?

Rikimaru Vs Shinobi?

Meh, Rikimaru, until proven otherwise, would pwn anyone by just using stealth over everything else.

Rikimaru vs tenkai.

Rikimaru vs Soki

Rikimaru vs Pure Samanosuke

Aaahhh! You got me there...

He would kill Soki. Soki has an eye sight impediment (See the cut-scene when he burns the cart of Genma-trees, he doesnt even notice Ohatsu and Munenori on the rooftop!), so Soki would be easily stealth killed. Sam/Tenkai would be more difficult because they are Oni. Perhaps one-on-one sword fighting Sam would win. But spears? Naah Rikimaru owns people with spears, so Tenkai is out of the picture!

Rikimaru Vs Onikage?

Soki noticed them without actually looking, remeber?

Riki would smash Onikage into the ground, stab his sword into the ground and the ground would run away.

Riki vs Azuma master

As in Shiunsai? Well Tatsu killed him, and Rikimaru killed Tatsu in WoH... So Rikimaru would win that one.

Riki against Ghoda.

One on one btw

That's a no-go. Riki would'nt kill Gohda. He is sworn to him. His only purpose in life is to destroy evil and Protect Gohda, therefore preserving peace in the land. I think in the next Tenchu, Rikimaru should go back to the village, and build it up again. And take over as the proper replacement to Master Shiunsai, as head of Azuma. Dont you think?

hehe, that was a good analysis.

Riki vs Goku

The guy with fire-balls? Well if he managed to hit Riki, perhaps he would win. Otherwise... He would get a smoke bomb and a fire arrow up the arse!

How about that guy from God of war? Never played the game, but he sounds pretty tough. Rikimaru wins?

Kratos is a god, Rikimaru will have a tough time one on one.

Thing is, he would probably steal the Blade of olympus right out from under his nose, Slash him a few times with it and then send him to Kingdom Come.

Riki vs Yuna, paine, and Rikku.
