Yes, I'm aware, and since this doesn't take into account that none of them play alike, The distinction is pointless.
By this logic Sean isn't a shoto since doesn't really have a fireball. Gouken didn't have an invincible srk, Sakura didn't either except with ex...but pretty sure she didn't in any other game.
Sean has the shoto normals.
Gouken is a shitty Oro iteration, not a shoto IMO. I see why the comparison exists, since his Shoryu is like tatsu and his tatsu is like a a bad shoryu. He lacks the typical shoto normals.
