BIG PUSHER
his projectiles are pretty abysmal. I don't even bother using them in Dragon Fangs, and I only use them in Kuatan to check people trying to jump a Quake.
Tigrar's alright I guess, EX fireballs should hit mid though.

No it sounds downplayish so I'll just accept it as true
Way off topic but you're PSN tag is hilarious
only if he can cancel them midair too
fuck outta here with this reasonable assessment of the character and trying to find solutions to legitimate struggles!Overall I know that Goro doesn't have easy answers in every situation like some other characters, but I don't think it's nearly as dire as some make it out to be. I actually think Goro is fairly decent, and while I may be wrong on this assessment (I will freely admit that I am an MK noob), I'd rather talk about exploring how to use the tools he already had instead of lamenting on how he should have better ones.
shut your mouth and ask for buffs
I fought a few online and it seems really hard. I won't call it until I play someone competent offline though. We have a couple of very good players in my scene that have been putting work in with Tanya, so I should have some info from meaningful sets sometime this week. Will report back once I feel I have a good assessment of the matchup.
Good to hear, if you happen to find out a way to deal with her constant movement and pyromancer zoning let us know! She just seems to have the advantage everywhere on the screen.
I'll save you the time... the match-up sucks
. Granted, if they play dumb and run towards Goro, then you might have a shot.
For anti-airs I actually have quite a bit of success with early uppercut? I often at least score a trade if I do it early enough.
There are times when I can't do an uppercut, or go air-to-air, etc, but then I have EX moves. I know I won't always have meter, but I would dare say that Goro may actually be advantaged in this area compared to a lot of characters? Having EX versions of punchwalk, telestomp, and shokan grab feels like I can have an answer for anything. For example, if I can see them try to bait one EX move I can hit with them with the other.
As for his walk, yes it's complete ass, but maybe we can get around this by (as silly as this sounds) not walking? His initial forward/back step, before he goes into his slow walk, actually strikes me as amazing compared to other characters. By practicing not-walking - purposefully putting the stick in crouch/neutral or lightly tapping block to reset the initial step animation - I know that I definitely feel a lot more mobile! I'm finding the back step in particular really fun to play with because it's so huge.
Which brings me back to anti-airs. Quickly back stepping to avoid the air attack and then doing a tripguard anti-air (or combo!) is probably my favorite thing to do right now. Especially when people get jumpy because of the ground pounds.

No one has it harder haha. I have do really random stuff against that jerk. Stomp to miss.
