I know I said I wasn't going to SF2 anymore, but I beat it with Ryu before bed last night (without recording), so I thought I'd try today with Akuma. I also wanted to test multiple fixes for my character model. Ryu is actually quite easy because most AI opponents just get hit by his HK hurricane, for some reason. You can literally spin to win. It's also easy to hit them with his super.
Character model eye clipping problem was because I moved the eye bones to reduce eye movement in XR Animator. As a result of the fix, eye direction is slightly different from before, but this seems like the most balanced solution. I also shrank the chest slightly (hopefully to reduce clipping), rounded the chest mesh out to remove some jagged edges, and edited the bunny suit texture/UVs so that the edges look much cleaner.
