Been a while back, but I'll explain more.

The reason why the area around them isn't being destroyed is because Akuma focuses his punches on Ryu, not the area. So instead of attempting to obliterate the area around them, he tries to obliterate Ryu, but Ryu's durability says otherwise. So, in power-scaling, the area doesn't have to be destroyed whatsoever.
