Depends on which SF storyline you go by Grandmaster192. In the original story Gouken defeated Akuma but couldn't finish him because it was his brother, when he hestiated Akuma finished him with the "Instant Hell Murder" and his body fell into water below and was never found. Ryu and Ken saw this as they just returned from Ryu's victory over Sagat at the World Warrior tournment and they challegened Akuma. He refused to fight them because they were novices and left. Now I believe they have ret-conned story. I can't keep up with all the SF ret-cons Capcom churned out. Anyway, I believe the current story has Gouki/Akuma beating Gouken to a bloody pulp and Ryu finding the body. I also don't like how Capcom changed around the first Sagat/Ryu fight. Originally it was a close fight and Ryu narrowly won with a blue flamed dragon punch. Now they ret conned it to tie-in the Evil Ryu storyline. In the current story, Sagat beat Ryu to a pulp. Sagat turns away and thinks he has won but Ryu falls victim briefly to the "Messatsu Go Hadou" dragon punches Sagat defeating him. Getting back to Gouken. Gouken was always the stronger fighter. He excelled at Ansatsuken much faster than Gouki. Their rivalry was similar to Ken and Ryu's. Gouki began to resent Goutetsu. He should teach them the ultimate killing art. This lead to friction between he and Gouken. Gouki found the technique on his own and killed Goutetsu. Then he tracked down his brother and well the rest of his story happened in game. BTW Yes I know. I know way too much about the Street Fighter storyline. It was my favorite game series for the longest time, so you will have to excuse me |
The evil Ryu storyline was made of FAIL. I liked the old ending of the Ryu/Sagat fight. It fit Ryu's character more.
