Voted for Gouken
He looks pretty good. Gouken has always been one of my favs.
One thing that randomly crossed my mind, is you have him blocking after his air-flip move. I think it'd be cool if it was a parry. He could smash P2 down into a ground bounce. Might be an interesting way to start a combo.
But I have a feeling you're making something a little closer to source.
From my understanding, due to being made before SF4 this Gouken worked more like Akuma but as a good guy. This take on the SGS is meant to purge the opponent of corruption or something like that.
Also, it's awesome seeing someone after all this time stepping up and helping alexlexus deliver a definitive version of his Gouken. Everything looks to be working a lot smoother now and, as DW said, the effects are a big improvement.
I remember when I first got into mugen around when SF4 came out, me and my friend would play as your Gouken a lot, glad to see him getting updated after such a long time. I am curious though is he supposed to play like a Marvel character? the MVC2 style portraits I'm not sure if they're just a placeholder but I feel like unifying them under what you have set up for the SGS with the more monochromatic image works better, especially since if you also want to differentiate them by strength you could have a blue/red/yellow. Either way just a small nitpick but he looks pretty promising so far!

Another preview, this one comparing various moves between the old version and the update.
