I posted this a while back in the “Mel Masters” thread in the Udon sector. http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69987&page=5&pp=15
"I invision SF4 to have two separate centers of focus. Akuma and “The new Evil”(Bison/somebody else).
(in-game and out-of-game characters)
Akuma part-
Ryu(in), Ken(in but for other reasons), Akuma(in), Sagat(in), Mel(in), Sakura(out), Oro(out), some new ppl maybe:
Oro teaches Ryu everything he knows so his skills can live on after his death. During training Ryu tells Oro about Akuma and Oro goes long into thought and decides to teach Ryu his ultimate technique(something big). Before Ryu’s training is done, Akuma senses and tracks down Ryu and Oro and he attacks Oro late at night while Ryu is sleeping. Oro has become very weak over the years training Ryu and is having trouble with Akuma. Akuma attempts the SGS on him but Oro knows hows to evade it by emptying his soul like Gen but his elderly fatigue slightly hinders him. Because of this, Oro’s soul was not completely emptied and the SGS catches Oro partially. The SGS does not instantly kill him but it fatally wounds him, with only minutes of life left. The energy and sound released by the SGS wakes Ryu and he rushes to the scene. Oro struggles to tell Ryu to escape so he can finish his training but ryu wants to stay and fight. Akuma realizes the situation and tells Ryu he awaits his full potential then escapes via Ashura Warp. Oro tells Ryu something meaningfull then dies. Ryu becomes grim and feels responsible for Oro’s death. Ryu countinues training and street fighting viciously(SNH is not present). While Ryu is running the gamut of fighters on his route through southeast Asia, Sagat discovers him beating down a thug that was harrassing a poor family. Sagat greets him and Ryu almost instantly asks for a fight. Sagat sees something different with Ryu but he agrees to fight. Ryu is not well focused as he is sticking with strong and slow attacks, an inner anger is driving his part of the fight and Sagat sees this. Sagat with with his size is easily dancing around Ryu, Sagat sees an opening and punches Ryu in the stomach which makes him reel back. Sagat jumps in to knock him out with a roundhouse but dodges to the side as Ryu goes up with a SNH-charged shoryuken. Sagat lands on his feet to the side of Ryu and watches as he lands from the shoryuken. Sagat remains silent with a “you are better than this” look on his face. Ryu looks at Sagat and collapses to the ground with a look of shame on his face. (continued on next post)"
"Sagat inquires as to what has gotten to Ryu. Ryu tells Sagat of Akuma and the death of his masters. Sagat recalls that Akuma once killed Bison(Sagat was there right?). Sagat lectures Ryu and tells him(again?) that one cannot fight with hate as their only drive. Ryu refocuses himself with and Sagat’s help and they both train/spar with each other for a few weeks. Ryu gets word from Ken that the World Warrior Tournament 4 has been annouced and asks Sagat if he will join. Sagat agrees with the hope of finally having a meaningful fight with Ryu and to support him in his battle against Akuma who is understood to be lurking the tournament as usual. Ken enters the tournament to beat his son Mel who has entered against Ken’s wishes. Sakura decides not to join but support Ryu from the sidelines.
In an isolated area during the tournament, Sagat and Ryu have their fight. A focused Ryu manages to defeat Sagat and he accepts the loss contently. As they leave the field Akuma arrives and challenges Ryu. Ryu accepts and they do battle. Ryu becomes fatigued due to just finishing his battle with Sagat and Akuma gains then upper-hand and knocks Ryu down. Akuma insults Ryu and tells him to show his full potential or he will kill this girl(Akuma then points behind him). Ryu failed to realize that Sakura had been standing in the distance, nearly in tears. Akuma turns around and fires a Messatsu-Gohadou at a paralyzed Sakura. Ryu gasps in panic as the blast travels its course. Sagat steps in front of Sakura and puts all of his remaining strength into a Tiger Cannon to cancel out the hadou. The blast dies down and Sagat becomes weak and faint. Akuma grimaces while looking at Sagat and asks Ryu how many of his friends must die as he charges for a SGS. Ryu gets up with new vigor and tells Akuma to face him. Ryu lands the first hit of Shin-Shoryuken on Akuma but he manages to escape the next hit by warping backwards. Ryu levitates some objects toward Akuma and he bats them away with the back of his hands. As Akuma is focused on the objects, Ryu pierces through his defenses with a dashing punch. Akuma recovers quickly and thanks Ryu for making it neccessary for him to “try harder”, he then powers up to what we call “Shin Akuma”(just Akuma when he’s not holdinh back). Ryu gets beat for a while then he remembers his training and tries twice to pull off Oro’s ultimate hidden technique to no avail. Akuma goes for the SGS and Ryu goes for the technique again and lands it. The attack hits Akuma as he grabs Ryu with the SGS. Oro’s attack causes Akuma to err his SGS and dies. Sagat and Sakura take Ryu to a hospital and he recovers. They watch on the television as the plot of the tournament unfolds. (cont)"
