Chaos Breaker/Goblin

Introduction

Goblin's primary goal is to annoy the hell out of his opponent and this is accomplished by constantly poking, climbing on the walls, bouncing off the walls, and getting counter hits with his Gang Up super. While it is certainly not impossible to win with Goblin, it takes a great deal of practice to be effective (or a knack for being an annoying prick) and other members of the cast have a great deal more in their favor.

The Basics

Combos

Mid-screen

2C>j.236X

• 2C puts Goblin into an aerial state, so just cancel into it. Use 236B/C at mid-screen and 236A near the corner to get more hits.

Corner

j.D>j.236C, land, Goblin Spear IB

• Will work with other Item Bursts but if you're playing Goblin, you should probably be using his spear anyway. Goblin needs to land on his mount before the opponent touches the ground in order for this to work.
