Yeah but this is capcom. The story line has been a mess for awhile. Cannon wise then I’ll have to go with Akuma or Gill.
Sol badguy might be too much for oro.
SF alpha’s Bison is pretty good too with the power of psyco power bursting from him. http://undergroundentrance.hp.infoseek.co.jp/material3/SMMvsCOP.jpg

Sol:

can go into crazy mode where he attacks even faster than he usually does
has a craptastic super that connects easily after a blocked wall kick (hah)
CAN rush that shit down
CAN cancel moves to KEEP RUSHING THAT SHIT DOWN
Sol Is a freakin gear for cryin out loud… Plus, he uses only a fraction of his power and STILL beats the hell outta everyone in the Guilty Gear universe. I wouldn’t be surprised if he used his full power ONLY during his fight with Justice…
Ryu would be able to take on the other charecters of GG I suppose… like Ky, Chipp, Etc. (and maybe Dizzy… Ky was able to defeat her…)
Ryu could beat Bridget and May. Probably Johnny and Axel too. Any human he could go up against.
But none of the tier 1 or 2 characters.
Probably not any of the the Black tech or forbidden magic characters either.
She’s not a gear, and my guess is just a very very powerful human.
That’s all that’s known until the next game.
(she can time travel, works directly for That Man, and can survive a fight with Dizzy in a murderous rage)
@Aeshma: Ryu had trouble with Hugo, right? I think it’s safe to say that Potemkin is much much stronger than Hugo. Also, that thing around his neck? It’s used to keep his power in check.
Actually, the thing around Potemkins neck is a bomb. Every slave worker in Zepp had one to keep them in line and avoid uprisings. Gabriel removed the bomb from Potemkins collar after the coup detat was succesful, but he stills wears it as a remindful of how strong he came to be, or something like that.
random thought:
in 3s when using ryu, when he talks to ken, he says he has the better win record.
that could mean that ken HAS beaten ryu, but ryu wins more often.
That’s right and though not Canon, as portrayed in SF2 TAM probably a few times in their childhood sparring too, he was also was defeated by Ken and Sakura in Alpha 3 as Psycho Ryu wasn’t he?
I’d say personally that because the fighting game mechanics are different, none of the Street Fighters could take on the Guilty Gear cast, there’s many more huge advantages with them, mostly speedy techniques and the basic commands…
