well I've been wondering for a while now how Cody compares to Akuma and I've also heard in some places that he's pretty tough, able to take on Ryu easily and be winning until Ryu goes Evil ryu (this was in one of the Udon comics). and according to SF wiki, it's implied through quotes in SF4 AE that Cody doesn't find Akuma to live up to his expectations (this is if Cody wins against him) and apparently against Shin Oni, the guy remarked that Cody would die against him if he kept holding back, which I assume is SHin Oni's way of saying that Cody could survive against him if he did go all out (though this is most likely non canon seeing as Oni is a 'what-if' Akuma)
While the UDON comic doesn't tell canon events perfectly, I have no reason to doubt that Cody wouldn't be a worthy rival to Ryu. But do note that the comic takes place durin SFII. The most current SF is III, not IV. Also worth addin, Ryu use some of the SNH on Cody, he didn't turn into "Evil Ryu".
Also, Cody's win-quote to Akuma, means nothin. I would also take Oni's words to Cody with grain of salt, as well. It's also worth mentioning that, unfortunately, Oni is no longer a "what if", Oni actually happened.

its hard to say with akuma, if were being partially realistic and saying that cody takes off his hadcuffs so he's not restricted and he gets a knife... in all fairness knives do kill people and cody is a knife expert id say cody wins, or at the very least holds his own. if he goes against oni well, id put it more like what oni said i think he'd survive, where as other fighters may die fighting oni, i think itd be fair to say cody would lose horribly but stay alive, assuming oni just doesnt kill him while he's unconscious or something
