Geese (RBFF2)

Introduction

The final boss of the first Fatal Fury game, and this is just another of his usual appearances.

Pros:

• Amazing damage output
• Can use his feint cancels to extend combos into his pursuit for free or keep up pressure
• Tough to stop when he gets started on his rushdown
• Geese's Rashomon pretty much can secure a round for him, when his opponent is in the red or just close to it (Even if Geese was losing :P)
• Good combo ability
• Can open up defensive opponents well
• Good hitbox on his counters

Cons

• Quite a fair bit of his gameplan will involve lows to get a knockdown to combo his pursuit
• Limited moveset
• High learning curve to use to full potential
• Opponents will be looking out for dash-in throws to punish eventually

The Basics

Geese does a great job of playing Footsies with a decent 5B, a Sweep that you can special cancel and a powerful tool in 4B where you can Kara Cancel it into all of Geese's specials. His Anti Airs are average for the most part, 3A trades with some bigger hitboxes, AB can work but requires you to time it late in some cases and the end of the chain combo 2B, 2B, 3C requires you to have the time to whiff 2B, 2B first.

Once Geese gets in he has great pressure while using the Raging Storm Feint. 4B Kara Cancel is one of his most essential tools, you can bait pokes by Kara'ing into Reppuken, if you expect a poke Kara into mid counter, if they want to DP or jump-in you can kara into high counter.

After Knockdowns Geese can jump over and do solid crossups with the j.D side switch mechanic, opt for meaties or run a Guessing game with 4B Kara Cancel Command Grab.

Match-Ups

VS Cheng Sinzan

Be careful with blockstrings because Cheng players love to breakshot any chance they get. The damage is well worth the meter for them.

Don't ever let him get away with that Sneeze move up close, you can stop it with pressing Stand C up close or Stand C if they far away and time it late

If he throws fireballs in the corner, let them know that it's -5 on block so you can normal throw them up close, Stand C if they like the sneeze move (Time Stand C late if they're far away use something like Stand A beforehand) as well as A or B chains to take your turn back

AB beats his Belly Dive outside corner and in corner if he tries to scare you with that. Very punishable for him if blocked of course.

If they tiger knee their P-Power it hits lows and if they do up in the air it hit high up and very punishable. Tiger Knee'd just normal throw them out of whatever they're about to do.
