The F/A-22 in tests against the Su-27SK scored a kill to death ratio of 12 to 1 and a kill to death ratio of 10 to 1 against the Su-30MKK. The only thing that comes remotly close to this is the Eurofighter which has a kill to death ratio against the Su-30 of 4 to 1.
In all fairness, based on what we know, it's probable and likely the F-22 will dominate their Russian counterparts. I wont validate a 12:1 ratio, but I'm positive it's in the F-22's favor.

The only signifigant changes on the Su's is the changes in vector thrust. It is useless other than for airshows. Close range dogfighting died a long time ago. The F-22's stealth would give it an advantage in that it could fire it's long-range missiles long before the Su even knew he was there.
