You have to remember however that Ryu tapped into SNH during the final rite of their training. As Gouken stated, after that, there was nothing that he could teach that they couldn’t learn themselves in their Musha Shugyo - something he told them to prepare for even before Ryu had awakened the SNH. I mean, at this point Ken had already created a new variation of the Shoryuken (albeit inadvertently). As for Ryu, IMO the key to dealing with the SNH seems to be more about keeping him from bottling stuff inside. Heck, the Musha Shugyo may be the key as it is a journey of self discovery, just like how Gouken concieved of the Mu no Hadou during his own Musha Shugyo.
UDON comics were canon, am trying to remember if Gouken completed their training before his disappearance, am not 100% sure but I do believe they finish their training and kick off SF1 tournament. This immediately triggers the Bison noticing Ryu event to kick off SF2.
I thought in AF Gouken rushed them out the door at the end, but honestly dont think it makes a difference cause Ryu/Ken they are ready, they learned everything and can only polish their hadou techniques.
The thing about Sean is ofcourse bullshit, he was a mook, Ken didnt train him the asshole told him to track down Ryu and beat him in a fight ffs lol, who does shit like that?
I was unaware of the Udon stuff being canon as well. If it was I have a feeling it’s not anymore, Hell Gouken looks pretty different in the comics compared to SF4.
Yea apparently towards the end of the SF1 run Erik Ko impressed Capcom that much that they sanctioned that shit, then gave them a bunch of work to do with official SF products.
I actually “purchased” that comic the other day but couldn’t figure out how to mess with the viewing resolution so i couldn’t actually read it lool. I am currently in the process of acquiring them for reading in CDisplay. Much better reader imo.
Wait if gouken knew ryu was having issues with all that demonic energy why didn’t he just stop training him and tell him to live a civilian life…kinda not worth it at that point.
Yea sorry i messed up, if anybody wants the complete set of Udon Street Fighter works, like the whole shabang, send me a PM and ill hook you up, that link i just posted is dogshit i got a much better one.
