Strategy

Goh Kidokoro is a character who struggle to shine in a particular way , his damage is good but not the greatest , his throw are powerfull but there are better , he doesn't have any consistent combo , his movement is decent , enought to approch your opponent.

Goh is the definiton of "Good everywhere but strong in nothing" he even have some glaring weakness ; his normals are some times very laggy. Most of the time the 3 mains lines of the character are : patience , knowledge and mind games. You have to out play your opponent most the time , if you play this character you are warned.

The Biggest Strenght of Goh are his throws , you can either setup an okizeme situation very easly , making him a kind of "Hybrid grappler" , this game is a lot about grab but this one more than others.

Flying Cross Chop (BC) is your most important move , whiff punish and not this unsafe , the best move of the character. Close Strong.B is a High risk High reward , give a lot of hitstun so you can combo in to , if it hit you can special cancel in to Do Konjo Geta Rush , it deals lot of damage even on chip

Matchups analysis

Fuuma 8-2 Fumma is superior to Goh in any way , except maybe range , goh have a bit better range than Fuuma but fuuma's speed will easly close the gap. If the fuuma player know what he is doing he will put great pressure on you , you should be very focus and don't waste any gap in his pressure cause there will not have many. double light a is your best friend , you can also get some Strong.B if you play distance corretcly , i general don't face him front , stay in movement it's super important in this game.

Other wise good luck

Kisarah 7-3

Kisarah like fuuma can put great pressure on you but her options are more comitial , but also more diverse , especially in the air you better not miss your anti air. You have more time to punish her , in particular her back dash and side step who are very slow. Her slow range can annoy her but be prepare you can be surprise by her go in attack ; hip bazooka , cutie rainbow and splash dance.

You won't be the one who tell the game tempo but you have more control than you thought you will put on some challenge but a fair one.

Lee 6-4

Lee can struggle to get a knowdown and except the Raishuu his throws are not so scary. it's once again your laggys normals who will be a problem , the footsie moment will be annoying. also Lee has somme good BnB unlike Goh , so he will compensate his low damage by having to win the neutral less than you.

But unlike others top tier this once feels like more balance

Joe 7-3

If you are facing front against Joe he will go straight on you and their is little to no thing you can do. Don't be taunted by the light a mashing on your guard , and try to play with your only strength you have way better side step than joe , so try to use your movement and try to approch him from the side. Your throws will be your best options , well if you get them.
