I understand that they're throwing in Evil Ryu for the sake of entertainment, but regardless of the outcome, it'll be seen as a super form (Super Sonic, Super Saiyan, etc.) and people will think, "Oh, Ryu only did so well against Scorpion because of his Evil form). With the exception of during his match with Sagat and in a brief moment in Street Fighter IV, it isn't canon, and even if it were, by the Street Fighter III series, the peak of Ryu's strength, he no longer relies on it because it's been sealed away.

Regardless, I'm highly anticipating the battle, even if Ryu ends up getting his face burned off.
