Gouken, not to be confused with Sheng Long, is the brother of Akuma and appears in Street Fighter IV.
History
Gouken and his younger brother Akuma were taught a powerful martial arts style by their master Goutetsu 20 years before the second Street Fighter tournament. After Goutetsu was killed by Akuma, Gouken continued to train and developed his martial arts style without embracing the principle of the Satsui no HadÅ (The Surge of the Intent to Murder/Murderous Intent) like his brother. Over time, he had evolved his martial art into a top-class fighting style which he eventually taught to his students Ryu and Ken. Dan Hibiki also trained with Gouken, but was expelled when he learned that Dan was motivated by revenge. In Street Fighter Alpha 2, Akuma suggests to Ryu that he had killed Gouken after a duel at Suzaku Castle. It was thought to be Gouken's resting place. He is Ryu's father-figure.In Street Fighter IV, Gouken makes his first playable appearance, disproving Akuma's claims of killing him.
Techniques
- Go Hadoken: Focusing his energy into his hand, Gouken unleashes a fireball projectile towards his opponent. Unlike his students, Ryu and Ken , Gouken performs the Hadoken technique with one hand. He can also launch them at an upward angle, delay their release, or fire two (one horizontal and one angled) at the same time as an EX Move.
Shin Shoryuken! - Sen-Ku-Go-Sho-Pa: Gouken dashes towards his opponent and performs a powerful open palm strike.
- Tatsumaki Go Rasen: A technique popularly known as the Hurricane kick, Gouken lifts his leg and spins through the air towards his opponent. The Kuchu Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku is the same technique but performed in the air after a jump.
- Kinjite Shoryuken: Gouken's Super Combo, a powerful uppercut that launches Gouken and his opponent into the air and strikes the enemy multiple times. The basic form of this technique is known as the Dragon Punch.
- Shin Shoryuken: Gouken's Ultra Combo is the most powerful form of the Dragon Punch. Gouken strikes his opponent twice and finishes with the Dragon Punch. It is one of the few Ultra's that can be linked from a simple throw, making Gouken particularly dangerous when his Revenge Gauge is filled.
