this! Also better run speed and something to anti-air with!

SHIT

yeah i forgot to add. I'd make all uppercuts 8 frames

i'd make his raise the roof 10 frames (i dont' fuckign know what it is now... but its too slow).

I actually don't mind his run being slow because we get an extra hit of armor to compensate for such a thing.

 

[ruff321]

I'll just repost this
I wish he would deal more damage. I play Raiden and what I don't get is why Raiden's able to deal more than 40% for one bar in the corner and Goro can barely go above 40 without using at least 2 bars. It makes sense for a big slow character like Goro to deal more damage but his damage leaves a lot to be desired. What's the logic here NRS?

 

[RYX]

imo just make his walk decent, you'd think a guy with a move based around walking and punching would be better at walking without punching. the animation looks goofy too but that's unimportant

outside of that, other than b12u2's whiffing issue (needs fixed, the second hit should either pull you in or he should advance on the third, or just give them larger horizontal hitboxes) i'm pretty happy with the character.

screw that

i want my easy bake 50/50 into 30 % as well as my armor into 30%!!!!

lol. let me play the same game as everyone else.

 

[XxSYNDROISxX]

I'm probably going to get flagged for this but how are you guys having the variation names under your Tag name on here?

 

[D_Matt_Ma]

Haha, interesting to see what everyone is asking. I would like to see B+2 have the same properties as the 3rd hit of B12U1. I think THAT is the thing Goro needs to FINALLY do decent damage.

Meh, i'd rather just normalize the shit out of everyone and make everyone that has a 50/50 with full combos on both options have one that scales to shit and keep goro honest, but everyone is too spoiled at this point. People get anal about anything that doesn't break 30% for some reason. Make throw do 25% raw and now we're talkin Keepo

 

[TZA]

make 2 a mid

gives us a real mixup of
2,1(overhead)
2 lowfireball [tigrar]
2 b3
2 commandgrab

and buff b1 range so it punishes better and makes run combos more consistent

 

[Diaphone]

Things I think Goro needs to be viable:

Anti air - make d2 have faster startup or better hitbox so that you can do it on reaction/hit people out of neutral jumps. Or make ex punchwalk a better anti air. He just needs something. a character that has trouble getting in should at least have ways to keep people from jumping at him.
Slight damage increase A few more % on punchwalk and command grab - this will make his bnbs a little more and give more incentive to use command grab (you mix them up with command grab... and they get put full screen, goros worst position)
Fix the bug of b12u2 whiffing randomly (mostly on females).
Buff some of his lesser used strings.. give him some more variety in his frame traps.

I think the variations are pretty balanced.. so I wouldn't change them, just the base character.

It's just too easy to zone out/outfootsie goro, and then when you get in the reward isn't high enough. There's a reason most people consider him the worst in the game.

i would also like to know this xD

 

[Bildslash]

Let's make a thread for the buffs, that will get more attention.

I agree with what has been suggested so far. I'd add:

All variations - s.3 hits mid
Tigrar Fury - faster startup on Low Fireball to reduce the gap during blockstrings.
Kuatan Warrior - EX Lunge has the same recovery as regular Lunge. Right now, due to the unnecesary animation at end, you can't oki aftewards despite costing meter.

Are there any standing neutral attacks in this game that hit mid?

I get why you guys want it.. but seems like something that would never happen.

 

[RYX]

why is nobody asking for grabs to beat low-profiled moves? I've been getting ducked more and more often and it's always by the other player mashing out their low pokes. Extremely frustrating to deal with

no, they all hit high

to be honest 3 probably shouldn't considering it leads to a 13-frame overhead with a natural option select

the command grab thing makes sense
i wish it naturally had a "counter hit" ability to where it tacked on extram damage becasue you pushed buttons.

a 13 frame OH is pretty consistent with the game honestly.

There are definitely characters with mid standing neutral attacks in this game.

i meant 3 hitting mid might not really matter anyway. outside of the button-mashing people who get away with poking it (I'm noticing a trend here) it IS a really fast overhead

but then again it probably shouldn't be that easy to poke out of it considering the dumb shit other people have in this game

There are definitely characters with mid standing neutral attacks in this game.

name them

 

[Pterodactyl]

name them

I knew of:
Kenshi's 3
Jacqui's 4
Kano's 3

And I just did a quick check and found:
Takeda's 3, and also his 2 in Ronin.
Kitana's 3
Shinnok's 3

All hit mid.

 

[Gurg]

I know shinnok's uppercut hits mid too.. that's kinda crazy.

Do you think maybe all those neutral standing mids are accidental oversights? I wouldn't put it past NRS honestly lol

Nope, they're all animated in a way that it would only make sense for them to hit mid.

Like Kano kicks you in the knee, and Jacqui knees you in the gut, and so on.

 

[Immortal Kombat]

I think this character is really good honestly. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for bitching about this character if it gets him buffs but I doubt it happens. Giving this guy a true 50/50 with pw armor would just eventually get nerfed anyways.
I think honestly goro just doesn't have alot of tournament players using him just yet. They will come though. Also kuatan warrior is his best variation imo

Oh, I forgot! Could you please fill me in on this OS you mentioned?

 

[RYX]

3d3 doesn't cancel on block, so it pretty much just option selects for you

so just put 3d3~special and it'll only come out on hit

i also don't think he's the worst but if everyone wants to buff him i'm all for it

Who's asking for 50/50's?

I thought the common consensus was a decent AA and a better run.

A faster uppercut would be nice for anti air, I agree there. I just usually use ex pw to anti air though. You have to kinda back up a bit and bait jump ins but it's very viable when your getting full combos off it
