Team Mortal Kombat vs Team Tekken

On the SF Anniversary website, it is said the SHIN Gouki originally appeared in SFII as the final boss. I had been reading SFII Gouki actually was Shin for years. I just hadn't known why the wikis and faqs kept making what appeared to be a baseless claim. Turned out, it wasn't.

SFII Vega, the weakest of his forms, isn't such a pushover after all.

There is actually a SLIGHT diffrence between normal Gouki and Shin Gouki, even in SFII and it can be seen, here.

It never actually states that he killed Bison in that state though. Not officially anyways.

Him habing his Shin form is understandable, considering he had it in Alpha 2 and 3.

Although Shin Akuma makes his first appearance as the final, hidden boss of Super Street Fighter II Turbo...

I'm rather sure the above quote means he slays Vega, in other words. He did lay waste to Vega at the final stage, where he is a hidden boss, which is where they say Shin Gouki first appaers.

Like I said, he was not known as Shin Akuma in that game. That name didn't even get invented until SFA2 at the earliest. Before the advent of that naming convention, he was simply known as CPU Akuma due to the cheap double Zankuu Hadoukens.

From what's being said by devs, it appears that the name Shin Gouki was not invented until SFA2 and then after that, developers back-tracked and said that Shin Gouki was in SFII.

This form had always been there, they just recognized that Gouki was too powerful so they made a weaker form for players to choose and said that the broken versions of Gouki, were Shin, like his OP abilities in SFII. This revelation means that NORMAL Gouki was in fact, invented in SFA2. He was always Shin in the games before that.

I don't know about all this Shin Akuma in SFII shit (he didn't surface until SFA2), but I will say that Akuma is not the strongest character in SF. He does have rivals.

Leik, how many people are gonna forget that Gill split a sea (possibly the Mediterranean since that's his stage in NG), raise a mountain, and parted the clouds all in 1 act with less effort than it took Akuma to blow up his island. His power allowed him to resurrect from virtual soul death and casually resume his basic operations.

Bison at 1/4 of his power tanked a blast that left a city block sized crater on the battle field and he exhibited huge mushroom cloud like explosions and domes of energy. He can fly faster than a F-15, has city wreckin TK at his heights, and has very broken teleport spam and worm holin.

The fact that Oro, with one arm, fought normal 3S Akuma and didn't die or was even hurt put's him on comparable lvls with Akuma.

Gouken is implied to be his rival. Akuma only killed'im with a move Gouken himself also mastered but refused to use. We seen what happened when Akuma tried to use the SGS on'im again. Gouken was leik, "Get that shit outta're!"

Akuma surely has more feats but the others have [b]enough[b] to be on his lvl. I woulda though Akuma with the Oni was beyond the others, but thanks to Oro, Oni was put back into perspective. There is a war at the top of Mt.Street Fighter and no one has one, yet.

MK's best feat was when combined might of Raiden and Shinnok covered the entire earth in darkness and wiped out the saurian race. That's it.
