To be honest, I have actually found a much much cheaper strategy than the one above, but, alas, only for ken/akuma. Well, it might be for Ryu too, but I don't really like him, and have never wanted to see how, at the end, only the fight matters to him. Which i assume is his ending.
Anyway, here's the super-dooper never fail i am so cheap I reuse condoms strategy. It also only works on the CPU... unless your human opponent is really quite stupid.
1. Trip the opponent. I don't care how, just get him lying on his back, on the ground.
2. This applies if the opponent is to the right of you. If not, well, reverse the joystick directions. Hold right. ie, walk over to the downed opponent, and keep on walking.
3. Just as they get up... and most everyone can tell just when someone is going to get up - if you can't, just as you see their "get up" animation... do a shoryu-ken. Well, really its just a fireball, seeing as you've been holding right all this time.
4. Laugh as the opponent predictably tries some move, only to be banished to the floor from the might of the dragon punch power.
5. Repeat from 2.
NB: If Bison, be a bit careful. Sometimes, just as he gets up, he does his "look at me turn the whole screen white" trick. If you see, as his "get up" animation, him shimmering and disappearing, do yourself a favour and hold back. Or teleport if you are Akuma (fireball with three punches).
Quite honestly, this strategy has a 99% success rate with ol' Akuma (at least at the uni machines). On Ken its not so good... maybe 70-80%?
