I was totally against it but I have changed my mind mainly after seeing it from this view and style.
The pic in BornFreeSF's avatar realy looks boring and static to me even though it is a signature of Akuma. In game he is always tensing when he strikes that pose which seems difficult to achieve in a statue.
Having him on the balls of both his feet really does make a difference and makes it appear less stoic.
If it can look fierece like this pic though I really am all for it. Plus it can make bunch of statueforum members that are more into Akuma than me really happy.
Unless of course Jerry can twist Capcom's arm and do an Alpha accurate "...Heaven and Earth tremble..." pose. Maybe as a side project in a few years...
