The video also says that the only character that could rival Oni is Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, I don't know who that is, is it relevant?

I found this, but I don't know if it's official, but if it is then Gill is stronger than both Oro and Bison and below only Akuma
This video was made by Capcom UK, it's not 100% reliable. Oro and Akuma are equals, and Akuma destroying a meteorite happened in his Capcom Fighting Evolution ending, which is also where Ingrid comes from, so she isn't canon to the SF storyline.

tbf the video basically uses comp Akuma, not base, it takes both Oni and Shin into consideration
 
Considering the video was also made before SFV because now black moons Bison is stronger than psycho drive (hell Fangs ending shows both which sounds like a ridiculously high upgrade) the only shaky stuff in said video is mentioning the meteor feat, even when Ingrid is brought up she's disregarded because of little info. The placing of each character works with the scaling. Oro is only equal to base Akuma since Shin or Oni haven't appeared in canon so if we were to scale those version they'd likely be the strongest in the verse.


Actually now that I think about it, Shin Akuma technically non-canon to begin with, would using that feat even be a problem outside of being a potential outlier? Shin Akuma has like no feats outside of that and fighting Evil Ryu doesn't even count since Evil Ryu doesn't have many feats either. Base Akuma is already capable of one shotting Alpha 3 Bison and Kage got....BFRed?.... Dispelled?.... What the hell did Akuma do to Kage actually?
 
Shin Akuma is canon, he appeared one time canonically, he is just featless

The feat is from a crossover game, you cant count it no matter what

He knocked Kage down with that move he shouted, Kage left after, you can hear him jump away after the hit

Shin Akuma is canon, Oni isn't. One-Handed Oro was able to hold Base Akuma to a stalemate, and they both know they'd kill each other if they used their true strength. Akuma's battle with Kage was spiritual, Kage doesn't have a physical body.
 
With Gill's feat as 6-C is actually pretty good in general due the gap between the top and god tiers of Street Fighter main timeline and due being the second 6-C feat, or third if Oni's feat gets similar results when recalc.

I'm still iffy to considering Kage in the same category as Akuma due he didn't fought Kage with all his might (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFjQ8F3pLzw&t=337s) and Ryu wasn't even scared of him at all.

Also, this means that it could make a case to E. Honda's Meteor feat as 7-A instead of a 6-C feat, but is probably for the better to wait until the rest of feats were analysed.

Wait, wouldn't Kage's Arcade ending make Oni canon? And Kage seems to be comparable to him, so he scales
 
His arcade ending isnt known if its canon, especially since in his own story he vanquishes away after Ryu ignored him

Where do you see Kage comparable to Oni? All we are given is that they will battle, yet we dont know how it will go down at all

the fact that Kage calls it a Deathmatch is already enough of proof that they are comparable, Kage is also another Satsui No Hadou embodiment just like Oni

Kage doesnt call it a Deathmatch, where are you seeing Kage speaking?Thats the narration of the ending by narrator and that alone isnt proof to be comparable to another, neither that them being the same thing does

We dont even see how the match even goes or who wins, you just make big assumptions here with evidence to back it up, Oni is the only character that would scale to his feat
 
If Kage is as strong as Oni (or at least enough to give him a battle to the death) then wouldn't that decrease the gap between it and Akuma?

Along with the implications that Ryu or Sagat could even survive such an encounter?

Not that those characters aren't strong but Oni is a whole other league.
 
Ryu and Sagat wont get anything out of it, in fiction many low tiered characters survive encounters with other above their league, but that doesnt change anything for them

Kage cant be assumed to be on Oni level if there isnt enough proof of that, a deathmatch doesnt equal the characters are on par with each other

the text box LITERALLY has "SFV Kage" written on top of it, which is how SF5 conveys who is talking. "Deathmatch" literally means "fight to the death" and requires both opponents to be at least equal in order to be called as such
 
a "fight to the death" is ALWAYS between two at least comparable opponents because it implies that either fighter could die
 
It is much better that we focus on getting something constructive done here than derail with unnecessary discussion.

For example, has anybody asked some of the calc group members to evaluate the Gill calculation blog yet?
 
and even if it's not Kage speaking but the narrator, even better! Because we would know FOR A FACT that it's gonna be a deathmatch and it's not just the character's opinion

This discussion is very much necessary, it could add another god tier to the verse
 
If DMUA has approved the calculation, we can probably use it now.
 
@Twellas

Can you stop with your head canons and assumptions?

First of all the SF4 arcade ending grom.that game for example isnt Evil Ryu talking there, him talking in that one is when the " " appear, none of the arcade endings are the characters talking

Second of all a death match or fight to the death isnt =/= characters comparable to another other, unless you wanna say Giorno and Diavolo in their last battle both were comparable when its clear the other was way above the league for his opponent

Kage isnt comparable to Oni and Oni isnt canon, trying to scale to a character he never fought at all
 
The discussion isnt needed, Oni is the strongest god tier of the verse, Kage already has anyway his feat of beating Akuma before he gets knocked back by him and leaves
 
bump and please PLEASE don't be disrespectful to eachother and argue respectfully without coming off as rude.

@ant

i'll ask another calc member then
