Who cares if you base it on relation to main story or not. Gouki isn’t evil period. He does not delight in taking lives or harming others nor is he mentally unstable. Nor does he look down on others or seek to dominate others. He just wants a worthy opponent and when he kills someone he only kills them out of respect and only if they are near his level of power. He fought Ken and Gen and spared both of them. Why? Because Ken wasn’t near his level and Gen is sick. Gouki isn’t heartless. Not by a longshot.
Sagat DEFINITELY isn’t evil. Misguided and vengeful early on the SF story sure. Evil? No. Even when he was vengeful he didn’t want to kill Ryu he just wanted to reclaim his title as the strongest. He killed one person. Go Hibiki. Dan’s father. Well it was in a Muay Thai match where death does happen albeit rarely. That said Go was pretty pissed off that he lost to Sagat and tried to gouge out Sagat’s eye when Sagat was trying to help him off the mat. So, yeah Sagat lost it and killed him. Was it on purpose? Probably not and even then Sagat realized his error and tried to make up for it by letting Dan beat him.
And when Dictator tried to take over Ryu, Sagat held him off while Ken and Sakura confronted Dictator. Yeah, sorry I can’t see Sagat as evil in any way shape or form.
Where are you getting this from?

“Gouki isn’t evil period. He does not delight in taking lives or harming others nor is he mentally unstable. Nor does he look down on others or seek to dominate others.” - that is wrong and disturbing all at the same time 
Common sense and SF wiki.
dwd: How is it disturbing?
You guys seem to have a very black and white view of things. Nothing is that simple.

Ok, lets try to apply the wonkiness of SF to real life. Pro boxers Vitali(gouken) and Wladimir(akuma) Klitschko. If Wladimir attempted to constantly kill his brother in training because “its his philosophy” thats fucking evil. Not only that, Vitali has a son(Ryu, yes i know ryu is not gouken’s biological father) and Wladimir wants to fight and kill him as well.Also in his 3rd strike ending he outright murders a ship and a submarine full of people! That nigga is evil! A badass, but evil.
Guys evil can still mean “Not good”. If they have good morals and a good attitude they’re not evil. But if they have a bad attitude or looks evil they’re probably Chaotic Good, to call upon DnD alignments.
Lawful Good Lawful Neutral Lawful Evil
—Guile-------- Ryu------Vega(Claw)
Neutral Good True Neutral Neutral Evil
-----Dhalsim-----Dan-------Sagat
Chaotic Good Chaotic Neutral Chaotic Evil
—Zangief------Akuma-------Bison
Sexy Good Sexy Neutral Sexy Evil
—Chun Li-----Sakura-----Juri
Fixed, that’s how I think it is.
glad i’m not the only one that feels that way. play to win son.

I’d be surprised if they didn’t try and kill each other every time they sparred, what with the steroids and shit they’re both taking. Although not as much as that 7 foot king mongoloid who fought David Haye. (bloody soviets and their cheating)
(3rd strike sub was just ironically named and was actually full of russians, so its cool that he blew them all up)
:wgrin:
I am shocked anyone could consider Gouki evil or Sagat for that matter.
Only truly evil person in SF is Dictator and MAYBE Seth.

I don’t think Sagat is “evil” at all anymore. Judging from the cut-scenes, Ryu is just Sagats number 1 rival now. Also in one of the trailers for Super Sagat tells Adon “the power you seek is twisted” so i think Gat has changed his outlook when it comes to fighting.
WTF has Sagat done to indicate he is evil? Seriously. He took the life of a man who attempted to rip out his friggin eye in a rage, but that’s it. And he atoned for that. Doesn’t change the fact that he did it, but he knows it was wrong and it was in the heat of the moment. Other then that…where is this so called evil?

Fwd hk into ultra lol. Really though, Sagat’s character is cool as fuck and not even a little evil.
I’m pretty sure what makes you evil is your willingness to go out of the way to do things that would bring harm to others.
Balrog would definitely go out of his way to beat someone up for some fight money. And Vega goes out of his way to hurt people because he doesn’t deem them beautiful.
Both are definitely evil.
Akuma and Sagat aren’t out doing evil deeds, although when provoked, they would probably kill you, that makes them neutral.
Yeah, Claw and Boxer I can see as evil in terms of morals.

So Rog is evil because he wants money yet Akuma can constantly try to kill his family and be neutral. So if i chose to go challenge your family to fights and murder them you wont think I’m a bad person?.. yea that makes sense. And a lot of people feel that Sagat is bad because he worked with shadowloo, they forget the only reason he did that was a means to fight Ryu. Out of all the characters i like Gat’s story the best; being at the top, losing, and pursuing the throne again.
It’s not that he killed his father its that, it was what is father wanted, and his father was HAPPY when he did it. (Also, I’m just assuming Goutetsu was his father.)
The only two people hes ever out right attacked are Goutetsu and Gouken, but that’s more of for just being the best. Outside of that, he’s just looking for a good fight, and he isn’t afraid to kill at the end of a good match, but only Gen has ever gave that to him. Supposedly he killed Adon, but seeing as
A) Adon is alive and
B) Theirs no way Adon gave him a good match, so the story seems to make sense.
Also, he supposedly sent Bison’s soul to hell, but that guy is worse then freaken Zero in the MMX series.
The only reason I could see characters like Rog, Sagat and Claw being evil is that they do or at one time worked for Shadaloo but it was basically just to help them with what they were trying to do. I don’t really follow the story but I don’t think any of them really truly wanted what Dictator wanted which was the ultimate fighting power and to control the lives of the weak and innocent.

I thought the PLAYER version of Seth wasn’t evil? and he wanted to go into the tournament for blah blah blah reason. God I don’t even know anymore.
Guile good Bison bad, done.
