I am Currently trying to come up with ideas for my first >fanfic and am
considering doing a Ranma 1/2-Street Fighter crossover.  >Who do you think
would win in a fight between ranma and ryu? (Honor and >other things aside.
Let's just say they were forced to fight each other.)

	It very much depends on the situation.  If it's in street fighter style 
format with fixed length matches in specific arena's, Ryu will have a distinct 
advantage.  If the setting's more flexible, Ranma's advantages of Tenacity and 
creative genius in any application of Martial arts will give him a distinct 
advantage.
	Oh, and here's a quick idea for combining the two setings:
	Ranma needs Money to buy Akane a birthday present.  Many dealings with 
Nabiki have left him looking for an alternative  to asking her, so when he 
learns about a street fighter tournament he decides to enter.  He takes on the 
various challengers and wins easialy.  However there was one of the master 
street fighters watching, and they decide to challenge him.  Ranma's gotten the 
money he wants, but a) he doesn't know how to refuse a challenge, b) he is 
offered a big cash incentive just to show up (when a world warrior fights, the 
promoters are guarenteed a packed house.)  and c) he's familiar enough with the 
world warrior to want the chance to try them one on one.
