Forum:How strong was Ggio Vega?

So there was a discussion about how strong Ggio was on his talk page. The discussion has been moved here so that it does not fill up the talk page. What I want to know is, how strong was here. I going to say he was definately the most powerful of Barragan's Fraccion. He lasted a significant amount of time against a captain of the Gotei 13. I am a firm believer that Sui Feng was talking absolute rubbish when she said she was holding back. Didn't Yamamoto specifically say at the start of the battle to "not hold back" and we all know how much Sui Feng likes to follow the rules (cough...Soul Society Arc...cough) so what the hell would she be doing getting her ass handed to her by Ggio. Also, if she WAS holding back, why did she release Suzumebachi about 2 seconds into the fight in order to "finish him off". Well, she didn't. At least not till he went all "El Sable" and lost all his speed advantages.

So I think that to catch Sui Feng off guard and literally pound the hell out of her for a good while means that Ggio is definately more powerful than your average lieutenant. His speed was able to equal Sui Feng, who is the prodigy of Flash Master Youruichi. I really don't think he is being given enough credit here.
