Thank you for covering Goutetsu and his descendants . Ryus backstory is one the things that made me a fighting game fan. I loved the way Street fighter Alpha Generations built on the lore of the original street fighter games and gave closure to Ryus story and his rivalry with Akuma.
Two sides of the same coin; they’ve both mastered their art without losing themselves in it through shear discipline. For indeed, Akuma’s will is such that he can use The Killing intent impersonally, stopping him from being consumed by the void. …Really makes one consider how much “evil” actually does come from good intentions…
This strand of lore is why I got into this game. That and the chance that somehow Chun Li would end up a smoking Dragon Lady type of woman belonging to a Yakuza Boss or some such. Great video.
Both gouken and akuma are also tied to the nio statues as well. In their costumes with the rope belts in sf4, and in their fighting stances hint to this. Akuma’s the nio statue with the mouth open, while gouken is the nio statue with the mouth closed. Just something I noticed.
@@TheFighterVerse I've read the book as at that time I was into Japanese philosophy and was at a dark state of mind. It's taught me a lot in life. Also no problem love the videos you guys are posting.
Well in SF4 gouken character quite difficult to master for average player as compared to akuma. But, you really admire capcom for putting many efforts in developing gouken. They even bought some spiritual feel in a video game character which a new thought. You can feel the gouken simplicity and yet at the same feel very deep life philosophy attracted to him.
What i didn’t like about the story between Akuma and Gouken is how the modern Capcom writers retconned Goukens death at the hands of his brother. It’s sad the story is treated almost secondary now

4:32 You basically just quoted Miyamoto Musashi but worded a little different.
"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world".

Power of nothingness = Ultra instincts.

Ken's dad looks like Terry Bogard, lol😂!
Gouken and Gouki
what movie is the clips from??/
Its Street Fighter Assassin Fist 2014
I dont like the retcon too. It makes the story much less dramatic and turns Gouken into god or something, making Akuma look less dangerous
thank you for watching
NERRRRRRDDD!
XD
Lol
Why these kind of asian stories are so monotonous and cringe
