When people ask to nerf punch walk, they out themselves as not understanding Goro at all. This move is the heart of the character. He is built to be a tank with strong/ defensive capabilities, that's why he does quite well against rushdown characters because he can defensively shut down pressure without putting his life on the line and offensively keep up with their pressure due to his good frame data and pokes.
And "hating a move" is not a reason for why it should be changed. I can't stand elbow dash, but I'm not gonna ask for it to be made slower or more unsafe because not liking something is not grounds for changes or "posing a question", which is really just code for "nerf please". The sooner people understand that, the better off we'll all be. Reptile is a fine character in the meta game and unless you're going to fully grasp a character and their impact on the meta it is ill advised to look at a strong tool in isolation. This applies to Goro as well and any other character looked at devoid of context.
People hate dealing with Goro for the same reason they hate dealing with Kitana. They both blow up sloppy play. If people wanna mash buttons, jump/run in like goofs and be overly aggressive, they will eat that up. It's not that they're that godlike, it's that they're anti-scrub characters. They're good, but not good in a way that they should be changed to weaken their designs.
I almost never ever weigh in on balance changes, but Goro is an insanely honest character with some dirt that he deserves to keep and considering what all exists in this game it's outrageous for him to even come up in any nerf discourse.
Thank goodness most people get it based on the poll. The truth of the matter is, he's probably just mid tier now instead of being low tier.
