Evil Ryu tournament semifinals - Destrudo Ryu (Sumi) vs Evil Ryu (reubenkee)

In the Street Fighter Alpha series, there is a selectable version of Ryu known as Evil Ryu (殺意の波動に目覚めたリュウ, Satsui no Hadō ni Mezameta Ryū, lit. "The surge of murderous intent awakened in Ryu", abbreviated Satsui Ryu in Street Fighter Zero 3). The concept of Ryu succumbing to the "Evil Intent" (殺意の波動, Satsui no Hadō, lit. "Surge of Murderous Intent", translated as the "Dark Hadou" in Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation and the "Murder Wave" in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos), the same power used by his nemesis Akuma, was first explored in the Street Fighter Alpha manga authored by Masahiko Nakahira. Ryu's ending in Street Fighter Zero 2 further suggested this possibility in the games. But it wasn't until the western version of the game, Street Fighter Alpha 2 (and its subsequent revision in Japan, Zero 2 Alpha) that Evil Ryu was introduced as a hidden character in the games.

Gameplay-wise, Evil Ryu has more powerful attacks than the original, strikes faster and possesses some of the attacks of Akuma (such as the Shun Goku Satsu).

Like Akuma, Evil Ryu has a signature symbol that appears when he performs the Shun Goku Satsu. Evil Ryu has had three different symbols: In Alpha 3, his symbol was Satsu, for "Murder" (殺) , though it only appears in his ending, not during gameplay, and in Capcom vs SNK 2, the symbol was Metsu (滅) for "Destruction." In Street Fighter EX Plus he also appears to have the same sign as Akuma, which is "Ten", for "Sky/Heaven" (天).

There is the champion evil ryu by reu!!!! Yeah! He is going all the way!

[ReneO93V2]

I was hoping for Destrudo Ryu to win. I think Don_Drago's Evil Ryu could have beaten Reu's Evil Ryu, but Don_Drago's Evil Ryu lost early on in this tournament against Evil Ryu MB.
