Gouken's plotline and history for Street Fighter 4
Last updated on Jan. 19, 2009
Akuma's brother, Gouken, is the legendary martial art master of Ryu and Ken.
After training with his brother under Goutetsu and learning the unnamed assassination style, the siblings separated.
Gouken rejected the Satsui no Hadou side of the fighting style and developed his own additions, removing the killing power of Hadouken and Shoryuken, turning them into tools for self-defense.
Gouken was challenged twice by his demonic brother and would eventually be killed by his hands... or so many believed.

I guess Capcom USA couldn't decide on what his style was called so now it's officially "unnamed"...
Shotokahn..?
Ansatsuken...??
NOW unnamed.

Shotokan was a mistake, Ansatsuken means assassination fist/style so it seems like ansatsuken was just describing the style

What are the conditions to play against Gouken in the arcade?

Looks like a great new character. Can't wait to test out his style.

How the hell did he survived, though? I wonder if Capcom will think about something, or just leave it like that.

Yeah exactly, all the male characters (baring the fat ones who've been munching it up)look like they'v been on steroids in the gym & now are dealing with the side effects on the stage.

The game reveals that he survived his first battle with his Brother Gouki. Gouken says he was unconcious the whole time.
And in a cutscene, it shows that he can now totally dismiss the Shun Goku Satsu through the Power of Nothingness (Mu no Ken), though it is unclear as to who won their second fight...seeing how the cutscene ended just as they were about to begin.
But it is safe to assume he survived because in SF3, Ryu did not fully give in to the Satsui no Hado, so maybe Gouken won the fight and just let Akuma live (again)

The symbol on his flag, 無 (mu) means "nothing"; nothingness.
