Mortal Komhat
Worst Well-Established Goro Player Ever
I've played casuals vs. a good KL here and yeah, the fact that we can EX PW in the gaps is ridic. Even with setups to break armor.
I know, my point is it shouldn't randomly drop.
I ALWAYS pick TF against Kotal. Up close Kotal can just go ham, so I always work to keep him out.
When you are playing a kotal, armor through his gaps and try to zone him. Basically if Kotal in any variation does b122 into a move except for overhead sword in war god he is unsafe and there is a gap and you can armor, so basically if you see him doing something with a gap punish with xxpw, if you see he is baiting you use xxxstomp, or xxshokan grab. Also if a kotal ever does b14 into a special there is always a gap. Also if you touch kotal you can pressure with stagger f3, in tigrar firebreath is plus 12(since thats the one you play) b12u2 is plus 2, and many more strings, that are plus that you should use. Also zone kotal and try baiting his jumps.
Appreciate it. I guess I need to get more familiar with those gaps.
That sounds really dumb actually, but it reminds me of something very important. We should all collaborate and make a thread on bugs, fixes and other things we're looking at for quality of life changes Goro could heavily benefit from. That's my biggest thing for him right now is quality of life fixes.
You said you were doing FBRC's with someone else correct? You're probably doing it too fast after blocked ex punch walk maybe? I cannot think of why it would be an issue to get it to come out unless you're playing in a garbage connection in which case abandon ship lol.
Probs not gonna get fixed. @CanadianBaconX tested some shit out with that parry and it catches really dumb stuff. I think it was something like Johnny's standing 4 has to be Low Parried, etc.
I mean, aside from those you have down 1, down 3, down 4, regular throw and doing slower strings after you've conditioned people to block like 2,1. Goro is all about conditioning people to block a certain way. If you really wanna mind fuck people when you're plus on block, just block or back dash that'll make them wanna poke or push buttons then the next time they try it you can blow them up hard for onl He's like any other character with slighlty plus normals, it's all the same concept. If you want more guaranteed stuff after frame traps, the other variations have that going on as well.
Do you have some gameplay I can watch? Interested in seeing how the conditioning works out in practice. I'll definitely hit up the video thread, but if you have some good matches you can show me it's appreciated.
I'm not home right now, I'm on mobile so if you would like you can check out my YouTube channel. I need to update with new/more recent content, but conditioning works the same regardless of your charcter choice. Simple example, I used back 1,2,1 and people keep trying to poke and lose to my six frame down 3/1, they get conditioned to not try poking back and instead might just respect the frames or they might back dash or armor. This conditioning might allow me to do a slower option like a throw or back 3, which is like 13 frames. That's all conditioning is really is forcing somebody to behave a certain way.
Lol that goro is garbage
