Street Fighter Alpha 1 [Arcade] - play as Akuma

This is a playthrough using Akuma in the Arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 1. Read on below for more information...
Akuma is a hidden boss in the game. He is a hidden playable character.
===== HOW TO SELECT AKUMA =====

1) On the character select screen, highlight the Random [?] box.
2) Hold the Start button, and press Down, Down, Down, Left, Left, Left and then press LP + HP or LK + HK.
---- For Player 2:
1) On the character select screen, highlight the Random [?] box.
2) Hold the Start button, and press Down, Down, Down, Right, Right, Right, and then press LP + HP or LK + HK.
(LP + HP gives you the default colour palette, and LK + HK gives you the alternate colour palette)
===== ABOUT AKUMA =====
Probably the most famous fighting game secret/hidden boss character, and the staple Street Fighter antagonist of Ryu. He is essentially a head-swap character in the 2D games, but there is no doubt that he has developed his own unique persona and style as the SF series progressed - the way he performed his moves became more and more different from Ryu/Ken.
===== GAMEPLAY =====
Alpha 1 Akuma is certainly a very strong character to use... if I were to describe this version of him, then I would say that he is basically like an "in-between" of SFA2's regular Akuma and Shin Akuma. Basically stronger than regular Akuma, but not quite on Shin Akuma's level.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- Obviously, he can only be fought against as a hidden boss in the game.
---- His personal boss in the game is M.Bison.
---- SFA1 is the only game where Akuma has some unique voices and grunts. They were changed for SFA2 and beyond.
---- His brother Gouken, and his master Goutetsu, appear in his ending.
---- When performing his Teleport, the trailing shadows behind him are blue.
---- Akuma is known as Gouki in Japan.
---- The game is known as Street Fighter Zero in Japan.
---- In the Saturn version of the game, when you win a round with a throw, the win icon shows a baseball. This is different to the PS1 and Arcade versions where it showed a rope instead.
---- In the Saturn version of the game, when fighting on Charlie's background, when you win a round there is no crowd noise (when they throw the money). On the PS1 and Arcade versions, the crowd makes a noise.
===== ABOUT SFA1 =====
This is the game that kicked off the brilliant Alpha series of Street Fighter. Despite Alpha 1 being a bit "broken" competitively-wise, it is still a fun game to go back to every now and then. It is also the only Alpha game with chain combos as one of it's core mechanics.

12:55 Smart Bison

So is it safe to assume that USA East is New Orleans and USA West is Denver? I can’t think of another logical location for either of those states based on what was shown.

8:41 You mean this, right...?
16:06 Looks like he's wearing red Y-Fronts on the outside...
Talking of Bison - if this is supposed to be a prequel in the Street Fighter continuum, why does he never teleport in SF2?

At least dynamic cook.

[@Toomnyusernae]

These secondary costume colours. You know these bother me right? In SFV, there's a pink gi Ryu with chauchy blonde hair.

[@Toomnyusernae]

Good job demonstrating his available attacks. 8:43 raised a smirk from me. That's something I would have done too. You have the better Akuma in this game. 10:23 was a good reminder of Sagat's hands for me. I knew but forgot a little. 12:12 hmm. I felt that. Felt cool. 15:06 nice return.

Tem ki lutar com o Kem ou riu e matar quase todos em especial no final abarece o Akuma no lugar do binson con um secreto

You should try SFA CPS Changer version. It was used to promote the game on a CPS-1 board.

That version actually has better sounds than both SF1 & SF2.
