He'd be unbeatable even with the limiter but without it he'd be unstoppable. He has the same advantages Kuuga would with his multiple forms and has the added bonus of DoGaBaki Form to use all of his powers in balance. And Emperor form is pretty much the boss.

I'll agree that Kiva's forms match up with Kuuga's well, but there is still an advantage Kuuga has there - all of his forms have Rising versions that are significantly more powerful than the original. Dragon Kuuga vs. Garulu Kiva may be pretty evenly matched, but Rising Dragon would stomp him. The same holds true for the other two forms and I'd say Rising Mighty is easily a match for DoGaBaKi (assuming Wataru remembers it exists - also assuming Wataru doesn't just go straight to Emperor like he does in every fight). And I'd personally maintain that Amazing Mighty is a match for Emperor, which is only about middle of the road in terms of final form strength. And if it isn't, well Ultimate sure as hell is. Honestly, the two do a lot of similar things, but Kuuga just does them better.
