Ryu is well known for his impressive martial arts skills and powerful Hadoken attack. In 81standard’s hilarious animation, we get to see what happens when Ryu uses this powerful attack against Akuma in the opening cinematic of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.
It’s clear that Akuma’s back is turned as this cinematic plays out, but what if Ryu actually did throw a Shinku Hadoken at Akuma while his back was turned? Given that Akuma has the lowest amount of health available compared to the rest of the roster, it’s easy to imagine how a single Shinku Hadoken from Ryu could potentially take out Akuma’s entire health bar.
This is exactly what happens in 81standard’s animation, with Ryu’s Shinku Hadoken taking out Akuma’s health bar and leaving him searching for a different opponent. It’s a funny and clever way of highlighting the power of Ryu’s Hadoken attack and the importance of timing when it comes to fighting Akuma.
Check out the video below to see Ryu’s Shinku Hadoken in action and how it leaves Akuma searching for a different opponent. It’s a great way to kick off the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo experience and a must-see for any Street Fighter fan.
