Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

lol I play him for fun now and then, but I don't know anything with him. I just poke poke and throw a lot. A lame homo shit like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif delay /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif or sweep and punish with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif lmao

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Goh is an excellent player I just now start to play him and found him to be extremely powerful and useful in any situation. He isn't the obvious offensive powerhouse Lau or Akira is but he packs a wallop just the same when he is used properly. I am currently have 5th Dan ranked Goh and he is still a work in progress but I am working other people too (Pai, Vanessa, and Akira at the moment)

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

go is the shit. once you get his moves down and form your strategies his power can win in all situations. use his /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif then you can use his shoulder slam from crouch /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif or/then his /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif and then after they double over use /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. obviously this is just a minor attack sequence but just think where you could go with this. goh has such an awesome fighting style that once you get it down and mix it with his sabakis.... hes a force to be dealt with.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

plus look at the guy... he looks kool as hell. and from what ive seen of VF5 (im still waiting for VF5 for the 360) he looks a hell of alot more hardass haha. i cant wait baby!! WHERE MY 360 PEOPLES AT!!!?? all you PS3 people are lucky as hell... your controller is definately better for fighting games like VF but i dont care i'll deal wit VF5 on my 360 crappy DPAD. PEACE!!!

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

I think it's becuase goh's moves lack the "oh shit that's cool" factor. I was showing a friend of my vids of gorgeous playing eileen against kage and he was blown away at how cool everything looked. Don't get me wrong though I've picked up goh and he's a very rewarding character to play as. I'd like to make him an alt of mine. I like his basic combos that lead to huge dmg, my only problem is I wish he was faster.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Actually low throwing against someone after crumple is a bad habit to get into. A good player will low throw escape,(you may catch people out once.) especially when have guaranteed damage.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

i think the reason we might see a decline in goh players is that if you are not used to 3-d fighters and just picked vf5 for fun you will most likely choosea easy character to win with and if you are not consestanly in dojo mastering goh then you will lose and lose and lose he is a great character to play with but until you know what your doing you will not win.


Im noticeing this online (360 WOOT FINALY A GOOD 3-D FIGHTER) i belive i havent played a mirror match of goh (meaning i havent seen another goh player to fight aginst) Instead is see 20 Pai's, Sarah's, Venassa's and Lei-fei's. SO people are takeing the easy way out or is goh have no good reason on how less popular he has become>?

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Well, Lei Fei isn't exactly the easy way out. He might be more immediately friendly to mashers, but really learning him is trickier.

Anyways, I'd say the reason he's less popular is just because his play style is so different from much of the rest of the cast. Definitely harder to get used to.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Every character you name is not easy fighters, maybe Pai, But when I see Lei along those names it makes me laugh a bit. He has 8 stances you must learn cause almost all his moves will switch into another stance. Sarah is a kicking powerhouse and she has alot of high attacks so you have to be careful. Venassa can be either or with her offensive and defensive stances, high lv players usually I see using the defensive. With that being said no character in VF5 is for say easy to use. Its not a button mashing game and you will usually get your butt kick if you try that against someone use to the system

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Well, Goh has been my first character to pick up in VF5 and I'm having a helluva lot of fun. It's mostly due to me knowing some judo, and the fact that he looks badass. But I disagree with Goh not having impressive moves. 270F is one of the sickest throws in the game if you ask me.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

I fully agree, his throw animations are some of the smoothest and authentic looking in the game, such as his basic /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif.

His /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif is my new favorite throw, but I noticed in one video that in version C his old throw animation returns? Anyone know what happens to this new throw-animation then? Perhaps it becomes a different throw direction.. hope it is still retained though.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

It's to your advantage he isn't popular. That means people don't face him that much, and they don't get used to his style. I have the same situation as a Vanessa player.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

same with eileen. a lot of people play her but not many use all her tools effectively so a lot of people don't know how to fight against one who knows what they're doing. At the same time it sucks that nobody players your char well or there aren't many people picking him up because it stunts the growth of the character. more people playing the more views you get hence better flowcharts.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

my bad i shold have used "easy way out" it gave poor credit to other fighters

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Goh is just tons of fun to play and learn. It makes me really glad I picked up the game.

Although.. I could've sworn someone told me Goh was very unpopular, but I'm just not seeing it. o.o

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

I see a great deal of Goh players online.

I'll try and link as many as I can here.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

goh is all i use online.

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

Wow, really?
Awh, and here I was thinking I was in the minority. XD

 

Re: Last post Mar. 24... Goh isn't popular anymore

ever since i got the game ive been dying to use goh but he is kinda hard for me to get going. if any in game trainers are out there i could use the help seeing as though i became better in doa with a online trainer

 

Well, i switched from Eileen to Goh a couple of days ago, and really enjoyed learning the basics with him. It's so different from the "Eileen style". /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
So at the moment, he IS very popular to me. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
Maybe even more, if i finaly get hands on my fighting stick, the pad just sucks for me trying to go further than the basics.
