Akuma: Evil Ryu
built 486 days ago
Akuma has other notable special moves that Ryu and Ken normally lack. The Ashura Senkuu is a teleport move with very short startup and recovery which allows him to escape the corner almost at will. The Tenma Kuujinkyaku is a downwards-angled kick that he can use at the peak of his jumps; it's very fast, hard to punish and allows for combos afterward. The Hyakki Shuu is a flip attack, similar to Cammy's Hooligan Combination, that allows Akuma to either attack or grab an opponent while moving forward. He ... has the Zenpou Tenshin in the Alpha games, which makes him hop and roll forward a short distance.

Akuma has the same moves as Ryu and Ken, only much faster and more damaging. To compensate for these advantages, Akuma is usually saddled with extremely low stamina. Unlike every other world warrior, Akuma has no Super Meter in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and therefore, no access to super moves.

Storywise, Shin Akuma is merely Akuma using the full extent of his power, compared to the "in-game" version which is Akuma voluntarily holding back his power to avoid ending fights prematurely. In the Capcom vs. SNK series, a different form of Shin Akuma appears. This form of Akuma achieves a new level of power when a dying Rugal Bernstein pours his Orochi power into him. Shin Akuma, not M. Bison, is Evil Ryu's final boss in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

The brother of Gouken, Akuma (Gouki in Japan) decided to use ansatsuken like it was meant to. He challenged both of them and managed to win. After that, he left for his island Gokuento. There he eventually fought Ryu, and discovered the potential within him. He destroyed the island and told Ryu to come back when he had embraced the killing intent. However, Ryu rejected it. Akuma now practices to be prepared for a battle with Ryu.

Two years later, Akuma began to search once more for worthy fighters whilst awaiting Ryu to embrace the Satsui no Hadō. He could have possibly fought Adon at this time and killed him (as Adon had been searching for Akuma, yet was never heard from again). He encountered Gen once more and fought a final battle (the results of which are still unclear). However, unknown to Akuma, Ryu had rejected the Satsui no Hadō, declaring that a true warrior does not rely on violent intents.

A man of darkness, Akuma lost his soul long ago to the power of evil intent, the Dark Hadou. Taking the life of his brother Gouken, Akuma wanders the globe, seeking out those who present a worthy challenge of his dark mastery. Could his brother's pupil, Ryu, be the one to provide the challenge he so desperately seeks? To find out for sure, he may have to attempt to awaken the evil intent within the young World Warrior, and see if he has what it takes to end the dark one's own life.
