Gouken
Debut: Street Fighter IV
Gouken has a long history in the franchise, dating back to the Street Fighter II Manga. He was eventually first playable in Street Fighter IV, however. He happens to be a master martial artist and brother of Akuma. Yet he’s also the mentor of Ryu and Ken Masters, helping to train them along the way. While one would assume that his fighting style would resemble that of his brother and students, it only slightly connects. Like many masters, he uses less movement than others to do his damage. He knows when and where to hit to give the most possible damage, allowing Gouken to truly be a force in combat.
