== Introduction ==
A rough swordsman wielding a large black zweihander blade, as well as a spiked mace on a chain he can swing from his other arm. As Goat's nightmares about his family's death continues to increase and get worse, he fears and realizes that the growing stress and pressure of the nightmares themselves will drive him into a state of pure insanity. Goat resolves to eliminate this problem once and for all and sets his own sight on the mystery of the lost continent.
 
Goat is a high risk/high reward character whose main game plan is to try and land his big normals and cause good damage with well placed juggles.

[[File:AB_go_idle.png|frameless|center]]
| pros =
* Absurd damage if things go well for him
* A good portion of his arsenal grants knockdows, which can frustrate the opponent
* Good range on his pokes make him a respectable threat on footsie games
* Very good bag of juggles despite not being a combo heavy character
| cons =
* No projectile whatsoever
* Most of his moves have bad recovery, which hurts a lot if you made a wrong move
* General lack of reliable grounded anti-airs
* Sluggish movement makes him vulnerable on various matchups
* Suffers a lot from zoning

|description= Quick sword swipe with excellent range but an annoying amount of pushback.<br>Your primary poke and footsies normal, as well as being an important part of his combos and juggles. Can combo into launcher, 236S and 623S if done close enough, but the pushback is just enough to make the launcher whiff if you use it after 5A even at point blank, so it is recommended to dash beforehand for this combo to work.<br>Definitely a move that every Goat player must be used to.

|description= Big scary swing with big damage and startup.<br>Being slow and sluggish makes this normal look useless, but it has some interesting properties. First of all it hits overhead, so it can catch players off guard after a 6B. It hits way higher than what it looks like, so if you get used to the startup it can serve as a neat anti-air, but is not really recomendable to do this outside of reads. Finally it has pretty good range so it can be a punish tool.<br>Overall, a normal that you shouldn't try to abuse but you shouldn't forget its existence either.
|description= slow but damaging attack<br>Being slow and sluggish makes this normal look situational, but it has some interesting properties.<br>it hits way higher than expected, so if you get used to the startup it can serve as a neat commital anti-air because of the hard knock down on hit<br>Overall, if opponents are getting predictable with their unsafe approaches this is a very good move to use

Due to a bug, Goat can cancel into a special move just as he hits the floor when he jumps back and lands to perform the final hit. This has varying degrees of usefulness depending on the character it's performed against, as well as Goat's position on the screen as Bastard's Cradle connects.

Latest revision as of 16:49, 14 May 2024

Goat is a rough swordsman wielding a large black zweihander, as well as a spiked mace on a chain he can swing from his other arm. As Goat's nightmares about his family's death continue to intensify, he fears and realizes that the growing stress and pressure of the nightmares themselves will drive him into a state of pure insanity. Goat resolves to eliminate this problem once and for all and sets his sights on the mystery of the lost continent.

Goat is a tough character wielding a sword that's as long-reaching as it is damaging. All of his heavy normals knock his opponent down.

Overview

AB go idle.png
Goat strives in the mid-range and thrives off of trades and impatience.
Pros Cons
  • High damage single hits makes trading a winning strategy
    • j.C knocking down makes trading even more advantageous
  • Instant overhead j.B enables potent offense
  • Great lows for beating out air blocking
  • Long pokes
  • Extremely strong in Last Stand thanks to armored Boost Mode
  • Hard time confirming long-range hits
  • Easily baited defensive options
    • Some reversal options can even be avoided on reaction
  • Ground movement on the slow end
  • Committal ground game

can be used as a pseudo-anti air
Slow-ish framedata makes Goat rely on this as an abare or late anti-air


5B

17 7 6 21 M C, SP, UM -10 -11

Quick sword swipe with excellent range but an annoying amount of pushback.
can be combo'd into launcher, 236EX and 623EX only it's after a dash
the equivalent of a C normal on other characters


5C
AB go 5c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
32 19 9 38 M - Sliding Knockdown -26

slow but damaging attack
Being slow and sluggish makes this normal look situational, but it has some interesting properties.
it hits way higher than expected, so if you get used to the startup it can serve as a neat commital anti-air because of the hard knock down on hit
Overall, if opponents are getting predictable with their unsafe approaches this is a very good move to use

Crouching Normals

fast low poke

25 13 9 29 L - Hard Knockdown -16

fast sweep
pretty committal compared to other sweeps but has decent range

Air Normals

j.A
AB go j.a.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
9 3 35 14* H A, B, C, UM N/A N/A

fast combo starter
the safest attack to throw out in air-to-air situations


j.B
AB go j.B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
17 7 8 N/A H C, UM N/A N/A

Slash with unique downward angle, this practically will never whiff on anyone grounded
can be used for crossup mixups
hard to incorporate into combos due to the low horizontal range


j.C
AB go j.c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
30 14 8 N/A H - Sliding Knockdown N/A

one of goat's greatest normals
very fast, great range and angle, causes a sliding knockdown on hit and deals a lot of damage
easily spammable due to short recovery
deceptively very active

Command Normals

6B
AB go 6B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
17 15 6 10 L C, SP, UM 12 0

Low kick
resets combo scaling
it's unknown if this property is intentional or an accident, but it means you can sneak in a 6b > 623C to the end of a combo for absurd damage
His only normal that can combo into 5C. It also confirms into his EX moves.


6C
AB go 6c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
24 25 8 25 H SP, UM 2 -11

overhead punch
Tthe only way to combo into 236236X or some of his specials

Universal Mechanics

Launcher
Any 2 buttons on the ground
AB Goat AB.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
5 5 10 14 M - Launches -2

On hit, causes a big wall bounce and puts the opponent on indefinite hitstun until they hit the ground or use meter to tech it
can be combo'd universally with A>B>C or A>B>Launcher combos.
most characters can add an air special or delay the launcher and do a ground special
if you hit an opponent with 3 launchers in the same combo they become completely invincible until waking up from the knockdown state
a lot of EX moves (Rose's 214EX), few meterless specials (Taros j.236x) and very rarely normals (Rokurouta's 6C) have last hits with the properties of a launcher. these hits count towards the 3 launcher cap.

Air launcher
Any 2 buttons in the air
AB Goat jAB.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
5 7 6 N/A H - Launches N/A

No difference from the ground version, but some characters have air launchers with slightly less recovery frames


Guard Break
22C
AB go 6c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
2 5 4 33 U - 23 N/A

This replaces grab, a quick attack that stuns blocking opponents.
common followups are combos, launchers, knockdowns and some supers
countered by not blocking, jumping or attacking back

A 8*3, 6*2 (24) 13 16 (3) 5 21 M - -1 -14

Goat thrusts his ball-and-chain flail downwards in front of him. Usually reserved for use against the smaller characters, such as Alice(!), Chen-Mao and Zam-B.

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
B 8*5 (26) 13 12 (2) 5 24 M - 0 -13

Goat thrusts the flail straight ahead. Has slighty more range than the A version and deals more damage. Solid poke and special option, occasionally useful as a long-range guard cancel.

This whiffs on crouching Alice(!), Chen-Mao and Zam-B.

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
C 10*3, 8*2 13 13 (3) 3 24 M - Launcher -21 / -4

Goat thrusts the flail upwards in front oh im. A decent, but committal check against jumpers. Has niche, but highly rewarding guard cancel applications, due to the final pullback hit launching.

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
EX (any two buttons) 16*6 (58) 26 8 (6) 5 21 M - 13 -4

Goat is briefly invulnerable, then swings his flail and pulls it back towards him for massive damage. The last two hits pull the opponent back and can lead to a combo or reset.

Goat swings his blade upwards in front of him. Button determines frame data and number of hits. C version knocks down.

Goat's most reliable confirms are into this series of specials.

Goat slowly takes his sword out in front of him, then runs forward. Button determines distance and number of hits. Very unsafe. Can be confirmed into from his command normals.

EX (any two buttons) 8*14 (37) 26 59 18 M - -1 -6

Goat shines gold and activates super armor, then rushes forward with his sword out. Hits up to 14 times. Super armor is active on frames 0 to 58 (the armor appears one frame before the animation even starts).

'YOU PRESSING BUTTONS??'
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
84 1+28 3 18 M SP Sliding Knockdown -13

Goat performs an invincible jumping slash that hits overhead. On hit, he will start a series of swings which result in a 18-hit-long combo sequence. If the first hit misses or is blocked, Goat won't follow through with the rest of the move. This move takes a while to come out and can only be confirmed into from his overhead punch.

Due to a bug, Goat can cancel into a special move just as he hits the floor when he jumps back and lands to perform the final hit. This has varying degrees of usefulness depending on the character it's performed against, as well as Goat's position on the screen as Bastard's Cradle connects. (example)

Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
20*2, 16*2, 12*6 (67) 1+8 15 43 M - Launches -31

Goat gets his dragon punch from Asura Blade back. Performs an ascending anti-air slash. Can be more reliably routed into than 236236X, comboing from his B normals, but deals much less damage. Mostly useful as a costly guard cancel against multi-hitting air normals, such as Rose Mary's j.B.

Boost Mode

This boost mode has a very good name cause it does exactly what it's suggests. During Hyper Body, all of Goat's attacks (normals and specials) will have super armour. Goat is now a super tanky character with no fear of counter hit. Some of his attacks profit of little changes.

  • Standing C, Jumping C and 6C do more damage. 6C is also significantly faster.
  • Last hit of C Phantom Crash is now a vertical launcher. But because of the pushback of the attack it's very hard to combo from it unless you're very close of the opponent.
  • Last hit of C Buster Horn in a launcher. The last hit is now very rewarding. But because the pushback of the 2-3 last hits of the attack is huge, the last hit can be hard to land on the opponent.
  • Final pullback hitbox of Buster Hammer gives slightly better frame advantage.
