Woah, Gouken is in this game? I thought he was killed or something well before the events of SFII. Is he a bonus character or is he actually part of the story? I know story isn't exactly a big deal in the SF series but it's there at least. Damn, now I want to play this game and check him out.
Yeah, he's part of the story.
When playing as him, the anime cutscene informs us that Akuma's Raging Demon didn't kill him, but it did put him in a coma. It took him years to recover, during which time he's now perfected 'The Art of nothingness', the polar opposite to Akuma's 'Satsui no Hado' (which I'll just call the Dark Hadou), and he now assumes corrctly that the world at large believes him dead. Anyway, when you finish the game, you get a cutscene, and piecing Ryu's, Gouken's and Akuma's together gives us this;
Spoiler:
Ryu challenges Gouken, but Gouken's newly discovered power is too much for Ryu, and he passes out. Akuma approaches having sensed Gouken's awakening, and furious that Gouken is trying to interfere with his plans to turn Ryu to the Dark Hadou. Akuma then tries the raging demon on Gouken, but Gouken's power of Nothingness means that it doesn't work. Akuma remarks that this is interesting, and proposes a final duel to the death to decide who gets Ryu, who he affectionately refers to as 'the cub'. It's commented on again that Gouken and Akuma are brothers, just in case you'd forgotten.

Here's a vid of the two brothers going at it; When Akuma jumps in at the start, it's one of Gouken's new parries that knocks him back. Also, check out the Ultra moves: Gouken's gut punch, uppercut and Dragon Punch failing to put Akuma down. No mistake with the Raging Demon though!
ROFL.
