Ryu is also in his 20s, 5 to 10 years older than Ranma.  He is 
definitely more experienced.  Any comments to this?

     But, he is slower, weaker, and his experience isn't as broad as
Ranma's. Seriously, Ranma deals with a much wider variety of attacks directed
at him.
     As to stronger, yes Ranma is. Ranma is shown to lift stuff which is
close to 15 tons in the manga. He is faster (with a mach 3 chestnut fist).

	This is one point I wish people would remember more often.  Canonical 
Ranma has at _least_ Spider-Man level superhuman powers.  His strength, 
speed, and endurance are _far_ above those of an unaugmented mortal.
	But then, I remember people forgetting this in the Priss+Hardsuit 
vs. Ranma debate...
