Story:
A lone-wolf thief who has kept the country astir.
Steals only from those who fill their pockets through bad deeds, however, and gives away the wealth to orphans and poor people.
Having heard rumors of the Golden Palace, seeks it as the next target.
Strategy
As a thief, Goemon excells on both Hit n' Run and keepaway. Featuring good pokes, a low projectile, defensive moves and one of the best (if not the best) regular throw on the game, capable to get an excellent damage from it while escaping from dangerous situations.
Pros
+ Chain Command Normals are great pokes
+ Specials for both agressive and defensive game
+ Regular Throw allows to get really good damage anywhere on the screen
+ Supers are allowed to condition your opponent to avoid dangerous situations
Cons
- His best damage requires meter
- No really good combo chains outside hit confirms
- Mixups are extremely hard to do and not really worth the reward
- The weapon is more a handicap than anything else
- Can't really execute any pressure without getting punished

Special Moves
Gogekiho
qcf+P (without weapon):
Goemon throws a spiked iron ball which rolls along the ground.
It hits low and is pretty fast.
The powered version is gold-coloured and has a " fire " effect when it hits.
Jitekkyu
qcf+P (with weapon):
Goemon shoots a fireball out of his cannon.
The powered version is larger and faster.
Kaensho
qcb+P (without weapon):
Goemon waves his arm and creates a trail of fire.
Works as anti-air; the powered version flashes various colours.
Bakuensho
dp, hold df +P:
Goemon throws a bomb at an angle while leaping backwards.
Good for finishing comboes.
The powered version is golden, and has a larger explosion.
This move can be held for a couple of seconds.
Note: If this is done when standing next to the opponent,
Goemon does not leap back; he pulls out the bomb and it blows up as soon as it touches the opponent.
Tekkyu Kaengoku
qcb, f+AB:
Goemon slams a large ball and chain on to the ground.
The powered version is gold coloured and quite damaging; it empties the super meter.
Tenchu Baku
qcf+K (three times):
Goemon hits the opponent for each consecutive " qcf + K " .
The last one knocks down. Easy to work in to comboes.

If his weapon is drawn, he shoots them, instead.
