What’s Goh like? Was thinking of playing Goh, Wolf, or El Blaze.

Goh, edgy japanese goth judoka, I don't know him very well...
Other than the obvious. He has a very good grappling game - even some of his strikes and combo strings automatically end up in a grapple.
This doesn't mean that his strikes are shit, they pack a good punch, but it seems to me that they are more intended to get the opponent into a position where they can be easily grappled

Although he seems to be a bit of a fan favourite, specially among older players
Great Deceiver is the one that played Final Tuned, so he can fill you in better than I


Now for El Blaze
Like his stature gives aways, he's a more agility and strike focused version of Wolf
He has a variety of combo strings that aren't difficult to execute, punishers for everything and a good amount of circular attacks
As for grappling, they do decent damage but are clearly more for offensive purposes
The catch is that since he's a manlet, he's a lightweight (so like what I mentioned with Vanesse, if launched he will teeth knocked out), and worse of all he has a really bad reach
So all in all he's a close-range specialist, but that's the only thing he can properly do
You'll have to always be trying to close the gap and keep the pressure on

EDIT: oh yeah he also has a really good wall game (he can even jump on fences and throw himself from them) and some good mobility options (he can even run around the stages, but be careful because in stages without walls/fences he will fall off the ring)
Goh also has some a couple of useful high damage wall moves...

Reached champion rank after 2800 games of +R and a 63% wr. Not too shabby.

Now I wait for Strive release. Haven't played a single build (PC) so I'm looking forward to the game on friday.

fighting games used to be cool but the sweaty losers who spend thousands of hours in a training room practicing meta bullshit and playing the game like their life depends on it have totally ruined the genre.

Hey there, you might not know (becuase you're in your late puberty), but mastering fighting games has always been a thing of the last 30 years. It's just that you never noticed it because you were too busy playing the party mode in Smash Brothers.

MK11 has one of the best fighting game tutorials around. Has actually useful info like frame data, teaches fighting game concepts for normies, is in general pretty solid.

Although I spent slightly more time in Injustice 2.

Merida, again

It has always been like that? Like, have you ever been at the arcades or other entertainment centers with video game cabinets? Goddamn kids.

Sure did. EU WEST 150 MAX pot player, we should play some more, not a lot of decent eddies around :shittydog:

Oh yeah, I remember you. Senior squadsman Pot with good ping.

You can add me if you like. Although I will be playing mostly Strive for a while.

I guess the original Vanessa getting revealed is worth a post

KOF XV no longer a sausagefest.

Also, Team Secret Agent is definitely a Charlie's Angels tribute (Lucy = Luong, Cameron = Blue Mary, Drew = Vanessa)

With commentary:

Man... there is something I find mesmerizing about this win animation. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing good-looking redheads in media anymore.

There is something seriously wrong with her fingers. They are way too long.
