For me, this has always been close, if we are talking base form Gouki. The reason I say this is because Gouki can hang evenly with Bison's best in a slugging match and energy flinging contest at the very bare of his powers. He may not win in the "Number of powers" game that Bison has got going, but the powers he does have are pretty bloody high, higher than Bison's equivalents in those areas.

Bison's range of movement via flight is certainly an advantage, that is of course assuming that Gouki's levitation os not flight in and of itself. That said, I cannot prove that Gouki can do more than simply hover a few inches off the ground, since it's not been shown beyond the American Toon... and nobody wants that.

I agree. The only thing I'd say is, SFIV gave new POWERFUL feats to Vega's lesser forms. So one can safely assume that Shin Vega is now capable of greater power feats that were not shown in Alpha 3.

You wont seem me argue that, but it's there. Shin Vega is easily more powerful now, than we thought if we factor in Vega's showings in SFIV, at 25%.
