Talk:Scorpion VS Akuma/@comment-5035900-20151012053541

If I may throw in my two cents (my thoughts, not declaring fact), here's how I may see it going:

When looking back at Ryu VS Scorpion, the Satsui no Hado within Ryu, which was sealed away and replaced with the Power of Nothingness later in the series, was given to him as it was his one mean to permanetly kill Scorpion. With that said, Akuma is far more experienced and has mastered the art, whereas Ryu only occasionally gave into it and when he did never had control due to his inexperience.

Given that, Akuma would showcase more skill than Ryu with its moves including the Raging Demon, and with his incredible power and his true Shin form to fall back onto, I see Akuma being able to land a killing blow on Scorpion.
