Move 2 ryu and hold start

bbe done with the start button held down. After ther movement press jab and
fierce or short and roundhouse. This ryu is the same as the normal ryu in
Alpha 2 , xcept he has Akuma's 3 hit dragon punch and his awsome 15 automatic
hit super. This is the same 4 both sides. To do Akuma's super press
jab, jab, (forward) short, fierce with your power bar at level 3. U only have
2-5 seconds to do it. If u want combos just do 1's u would normally do with
ryu. If u don't use ryu mail me 4 combos!
