===== 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 to Ryu/Ken.
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 & TRIVIA =====
---- Obviously, he can only be fought against as a hidden boss in the game.
---- His personal boss in the game is M.Bison.
---- Regarding the Alpha/Zero games, 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.
---- Akuma is known as Gouki in Japan.
---- The game is known as Street Fighter Alpha outside of Japan.
--- In the Saturn version of the game, when the characters perform super combos, the shadow trails of the character are coloured differently. If you switch the music to Original, the shadow trails will be like the arcade version.
---- In the Saturn version of the game, some of the hit sound effects are different when compared to the PS1 version.
---- In the Saturn version of the game, in the character endings, the style of text in the dialogue box is different to the PS1 and Arcade versions.
---- In the Saturn version of the game, the character name text under the lifebars are shifted inwards a little.

---- 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.
