If this was going all out? Gill, by an unknown margin.

Darkstorm Zero
I have to Disagree with the Saikyo Strider here.

See, the ocean thing never happened, its non-canon, since nobody in that ending can stand Gill's guts.

That and, Gill has very few feats that even come close to Akuma's at all.

However, for the sake of argument, I will say that it is a close match, but it will end chust like their Canon confrotation. Gill will end up SGSed, Akuma leaves Gill unconscious, and Gill resurrects a few days later.

Lol, most of the people in the cast have never met Gill, so how can they not stand'im?

They wouldn't make him do somethin' like that so easily if it weren't possible. If we're gonna start snatchin' feats then Akuma's 3S endin' didn't happen and he can't destroy boats and all that blazzei.

What confrontation? He sneak attacked Gill. And how can you just assume out of nowhere it took Gill several days to resurrect? Gill resurrects near instantly.

Daigo Ikeno (characters designer for 3S) even states Gill is the "strongest boss yet" in the SF20.

guilt by association, they know his reputation is barely better than Bison's and a good many of them have had bad dealings with him before.

Akuma's feat doesn't interfere with any of the other cast members they way Gill's does. Thats why it(along with the Uluru feat) where onfirmed canon in the first place.

no, ne didn't sneak attack anyone... you know it's funny, people say the same thing about his confrontation with Bison, and yet it was a frontal attack... I dunno how it could be a sneak if he's right in line of sight.

Ikeno's description could be related to gameplay rather than story, it's very vague, and personally, Akuma's SF3 2nd Impact apperance was far tougher a challenge, especially the Skun Akuma fight.

^ Gill in TS is a far tougher boss than Shin Akuma in DI.
S.Akuma doesn't have the perks that Gill does in-game. Seraphic Wing is also a lot more dangerous than the Shun Goku Satsu (when used by the CPU)


Gill doesn't have as many feats as Akuma does, but his resurrection isn't something to ignore. It doesn't take days either. Gameplay or not, he resurrects the minute he is killed/KO'ed.

They don't know Gill. He's Celestial Emperor of the friggen Illuminati. Alex, Necro, Ibuki, Urien and possibly Yun & Yang know Gill.

It's not about the cast in the endin, it's about what he does in the endin'. The only confirmed Akuma endings are the mountain and the island.

Dude, it's a 2D fightin' game. It doesn't matter what direction he comes in (he can only come in 2), I didn't see any struggle of the slightest or any resistance. The fight is about to start and BAAM! they're on the ground.

Nah, it's not. Somethin' about how he wanted to create a character that would let players know he was the strongest boss yet. Even in SFEC they say...


Gill's abilities were very powerful as befit the Final Boss of the series...Gill appeard to have transcended human limitations and possessed a style that was decidedly different from Bison's and Akuma's

Eh, I have to disagree there, Shin Gouki in DI was very uber, almost at his SSF2T levels in terms of computer cheapness. And I would say S.Gouki's Shun Goku Satsu was just as dangerous and nowhere near as predictable or interceptable.

Gill can only resurrect once per round (Translated as once a day). he can't do it more than that, and it disables the use of other super arts once he does.

Ibuki (She was after the G file Gill posessed), Dudley (Gill stole Dudley's Car (Ridiculous I know)), Twelve (Gill and the Illuminati created him as a successor to Necro), and Q (Q is like a super agent)

We have to take all the contents of an ending for the ability to work, not just some and forget other bits.

That doesn't pertain to the EX version of Gouki's entry, which is supposed to simulate a POV perspective, in which it is line of sight. He didn't blindside them, so it makes not one bit of difference.

Decidedly different style... Akuma and Bison already transcended human limiatation, and Oro possibly as well, Gouken too. A stunt like that is called Hyperbole.

This is an interesting match-up, I was actually thinking about making a Shin Akuma vs Gill topic a few days ago.

Basically its Messiah vs Demon

I would have to say its going to be a very even fight, and can't really give the edge to either of them. Neither of these two have significant feats (fighting games aren't very plot focused), nor do I recall either of these characters being canonically defeated. So the power and winning potential of these characters are based on their relative standing, abilities, and difficulty from their respective games.
Eh, you mind as well do 100 coin flips to determine the winner.

Capcom will have to release Capcom Fighting Evolution 2 to decide this outcome.

Twelve is under Urien's control, and it is officially stated that only the "higher ups" in the Illuminati are aware of the Tentei (Gill). I need proof on 'anything' about Q.

No, we don't have to take 'all' the contents of an ending for the ability to work, we take the 'ability' its self, because we 'should' have the sense to know the creators used this event (canon or not) to demonstrate what could be done by the character, the boss, if he or she got their way. If you don't agree wit this, somethin' that should be very clear, then fine, but I aint gonna argue wit you about it cuz we're never gonna agree. I'm not gonna just start makin' up Rules of Logic to suit my needs and not apply it to other things.

It does not matter. He attacked'em before they could do anything. He came in and SGSed'em when their attention was clearly elsewhere. If he didn't sneak up, then it's a clear cheap shot.

And the rest of that quote I posted clearly gives the impression that if he is not stronger than them, he is at the very least equal to any of them. The man can close his hand and make a meteor shower.

He was cheap, but nowhere near the broken-ness of his SSF2T counterpart.
TS Gill was plain broken. Not SSF2T S.Akuma broken, but broken nonetheless.

Problem is, hitting Gill out of S.Wing leaves him with his SA bar intact, unlike hitting S.Gouki out of SGS.
To date, I've never avoided S.Wing, so I don't think it is avoidable, unlike SGS.

Also, I know I've had more trouble with TS Gill than I did with S.Gouki >__>.

You are using a gameplay restriction there. He was already broken. Giving him the ability to use Super arts after being resurrected would make him idiotically overpowered in the game. It'd be the same as having to win 4 rounds instead of the default 2.
If Gill's resurrection disables his other Super Arts, Shin Gouki will only have access to 3 or 4 Super arts (KKG, Shun Goku Satsu & Messatsu Gou Rasen/MG Shoryuken/MG Hadou + Tenma Gou Zankuu) per fight. erm

While I can believe the "Once a Day" bit, I don't know if there is any official statement on this limit. If you do, then by all means, enlighten me.

Granted, I still think S.Gouki has the better odds, since Gill doesn't have very many feats.

Since 12 was meant as a replacement for Necro, and (if memory serves) wasn't uriens intent to have 12 kill Gill?

And I think Q was intentionally annonymous, there is very little known about him.

No, we never take things out of context in such a manner, otherwise everything can be used as canon in that sense, nothing gets restricted or moderated. As I have said before, that opens the doors for all kinds of non-canon filler to flood in, such as the CFJ/CFE stuff, all the MVC stuff, EX, CVS, Gem Fighter, the Puzzle Fighter crap... Everything even remotely related to Street Fighter then has a say, and it becomes an ergonomic nightmare to sort the real deal from the filler crap. Nobody wants that.

So, from your interpretation, he blindsided them despite being in line of sight, and cheapshotted them? I'm sorry, but the only instance of a cheapshot or "From behind" instance I can think of was his intro into CVS1 where he split Bison in two.

As strong as I can buy. But by feats alone, Gouki can pretty much just about solo the cast, yet we knowthis is not the case.

Broken being a term for computer cheapness, which DI S.Akuma had in spades unless you exploited the AI's horrid reaction to air projectiles. They always try to jump in, which made them fodder. It's what made Player controled Akuma players uber against the CPU.

All that aside, CPU S.Gouki was very VERY much faster than any version of Gill, and damage output was enormous.

The only difference bitween DI Gill and TS Gill was the Seraphic Wing and that palette changing aura, and the Seraphic Wing was highly anticipatable if you know what to look for. He floats to the miffle of the screen, very very dead giveaway, can't be comboed exept in stun either. The Meteor Shower was far more deadly than the SW due to it's setups.

The difference is that S.Gouki could keep charging hsi meter after any of his SA's, Gill once Resurrection was used can't do this. Plus, resurrection is interuptable.

Gill is very much harder than SFIII or Alpha S.Akuma. In fact, Gill has S.Akuma beat in every way imaginable.

-Highest strength

-Highest stamina

-Fastest attack speed

-Easy juggles, chains, and links

-Large supers

-Resurrection (even if it can be interrupted and he regenerates just sliver of health, 'still gives him a 2nd chance)

-Instant kill supers due to taunts.

-Lowest stun

-Does the highest stun damage.

-Normals do chip damage.

-Ice increases length of stun frames.

Gill knows about Twelve, Twelve doesn't know about Gill and I don't remember Urien havin' Twelve out to kill Gill.

Where did you get the idea that Q is aware of Gill's existence?

The problem wit what you say is...NONE of those game are canon. Those game don't exist at all in canon, period. Not a single event that occurs in those games have actually happened and they follow their own continuities.

You can try to explain your interpretation of the events 'til your blue in the face, their is just not enough evidence there to prove that it was a fair fight, at least not for me and many others.

This is an "In-Universe" battle. I think what the creators say, write and intend to happen overwrite feats. Despite Ryu havin' much better feats than Gouken, we know Gouken can easily beat Ryu's ass.

I believe Messiah's are stronger then Demons...I think Gill wins this one...Akuma stands no chance...If he fights Gill in his SF3 Third Strike Form...The one where he is glowing... believe that is Gill with his full power...
