I said you're the greatest. I asked if you got all your power back since you're on the computer a little bit more today, I thoght you would've wanted to save some more power.
Satsui no Hadou is nothing more than a person giving into the desire to win at any cost, correct? So any random schmo could supposedly, if they were willing to do everything and anything to win a fight, could tap into its power? And you don't actually gain power from it, you just tap further into your own power by removing all conscious restraint.
Is that right?

Well, I'm making a Compare/Contrast with the Devil Gene. (a person on antoher board made the topic, asking which is stronger, more evil and has more potential)
If the Satsui no Hadou is nothing more than a person giving everything they have to win and that's all, it's not a powerup which would be at contrast with the Devil Gene. The Devil Gene activates to offer the person power they don't have on their own.
Though, one could argue as its part of their very makeup that the Devil Gene IS part of them...But according to how Kazuya survived what Heihachi did to him, it was specifically described as he needed power and got it from Devil. Jin...well, Jin needed to fly away. To escape from Heihachi so I guess that goes along with the added powerup necessity trigger idea.
Jinpachi...I got no clue about him. He messes up the whole idea of Devil in the first place. It was supposed to be Kazuya and then Jin but he makes it more of a genetic thing that, for some reason, Heihachi lacks.
As for which is more evil, it depends in my opinion. Akuma mastered his Dark hadou to the point he's not truly "evil". He's not going around randomly killing people and he won't kill for no reason. It could be possible, if he wanted to, to use his immense power for good. Jin also used his Devil Gene in a less-evil way and was only finally taken over by it because of Jinpachi's escape.
So it depends on who is using it I guess.
As for which is stronger, not getting into that. Don't know enough. Though the ability the Devil Gene offers to bind Heihachi's blood with that of Ogre's DNA to make a new lifeform is intriguing.
