Honestly, I'd trade the throw>ultra in for something a little weaker yet much more versatile. It's really not easy to get in close with Gouken. His pressure game is limited (though very good when you're at a good distance for fireball shenanigans) and he's not very fast. But I gotta admit it is pretty sweet when you land it thoughOriginally Posted by aubstuh86
if you have ultra meter with gouken and you mix up your game, one successful throw = game over. i haven't played anyone who utilizes him to his full potential tho, maybe cuz he's an unorthadox character. when used right his bnb corner combos deal a lot of damage.Originally Posted by RavageBX
I kinda agree but at the same time I understand where dude is coming from. I main Gouken and spend half the match dealing with throws because everyone knows you can walk right up to Gouken and throw him with nothing to worry about. It's gotten to the point where i'm considering maining someone else. Gouken is enjoyable when you get to really be aggressive offensively. When you have to worry about not be able to defend yourself b/c of no wake-up and a useless jab it gets really irritating. Add net lag to the equation, tick throws, and ridiculous kara throws and
And honestly I think the reason you haven't played anyone who uses him to his full potential is b/c his potential is gimped imo. A couple tweaks from capcom would make him truly a beast and on par with the high tier characters. I've never played or seen a Gouken that I would consider elite. Mine certainly isn't. Every now and then you'll see a good Gouken player but that's about it.
I think i fought 1 good Gouken fighter and it was no match for my Dan. I couldnt get in with his fireballs coming out so fast. I think i got my Dan gameup...i've gotten 3 good replies from people; now they know the power of Saikyo...its Dantastic!
