The first of the 'King of the Mountain' competitions has come to close and your winner is none other than the iconic Ryu Hayabusa, perhaps a character which best represents 'ninja' (at least to many people). As someone mentioned, I find this a bit of a surprise as Ryu was never saved first and had been nearly eliminated for the better part of the last third of the contest. Nevertheless, he triumphs over Final Fantasy to claim his prize!
