No offence, but you have no sufficient knowledge of SF, if you say Ken has the same potential. Capcom has stated that Ryu is much more powerful, Bison has said in SFA3 that Ryu and Rose said, Ryu has ultimate form of inner power (and in SFA3 what happened between Bison and Ryu is canon). One being cannot have same potential as the other. Also Gouken knew, he trained both of them (he said that while Ryu was kid, Ryu has limitless potetnial, why he never said that for Ken, but he aslo trained Ken and Ken was equally hard working then, but he saw in Ryu greater potential and he saw in Ryu that Ryu will surpass him (Gouken)). No being has the same potential. I don't know why you said he has the same potential, even if you don't know SF, it's loggical that he can't have the same potential (let's say you train with someone Vale Tudo for years, so that means, of course you have the same potential, and both of you will train eqaully hard, so that means you will be equal, no, your friend or you will be better fighter or me and my brother train something equally hard, so that means we will be equal, same potential, no, even we are closest relative, same mother gave us birth, but still it close doesn't mean same potential or that we will be equal, it will never be like this, even twins have different potential, and look how similar they are, but Ken and Ryu not, only friend, very good friend, otherwise nothing else, it's very stupid saying same potential, it's also disgusting to say that).
They are different person, so different potential, but using same technique, same martial art. Ryu potential is far beyond Ken. And Akuma thought Ryu will be his worthy opponent when he will awaken Dark Hadou (Satso no hado), but Ryu gave up on that, he will never awaken that. And now even without that, Akuma believes that Ryu even without Satsu no Hadou will become very poworful and become worthy opponent. There isn't said for nothing that Ryu has ultimate form of inner power, so there you go.
