Ryu versus Shin Gouki (with a twist)

For me, 'pends on what happens in SSFIV. Some sources say that Akuma does off Gouken once and for all in SSFIV's plot and if that's actually true, Oro is stronger.

I doubt Gouki finishes off Gouken. Gouki defeating Gouken or vice versa, is another story.

For one, Ryu never becomes Gouki's pet, nor do he and Ken seek revenge against Gouki in SFIII.
For another, Ryu knows the Shin Shoryuken (perfected version), Denjin Hadouken, and the Joudan Sokutou Geri by the time of SFIII; moves which are only demonstrated by Gouken prior to their usage by Ryu in SFIII.

Actually, Ryu had the Shin Shoryuken and the Metsu Shoryuken prior to SF4. He had them both in Alpha 3.

also, on the Oro vs Akuma thing, I don't beleive Oro can win that fight, and the paraphrasing doesn't prove anything, since Akuma also called Oro a stupid old fool, but thats not proof either is it...

It was also stupidly hard to pull off because of the initial elbow thrust.
