CES 2009: Street Fighter IV’s Akuma vs. Gouken trailer

Sibling rivalries have happened since the dawn of time. And when you’re talking Street Fighter, it doesn’t get as intense as the wrath between Akuma and Gouken. Now depending on which storyline you’re taking from (the SF manga or the video games), Akuma supposedly killed Gouken. All that seems to be water under the bridge now (ret-con!) and Gouken’s just waaay pissed for whatever reason. And as we know of sibling rivalries, reasons for fighting are just optional.
