The Goh Quiz

No multiple choice. No further hints -- Just plain hardcore. And Goh specific. [/size]


Read carefully and solve the following situation to your advantage.

It’s been an exhaustive match. Both your opponent and you have pretty drained health bars. The next successful hit will decide between victory or defeat. After you made up your mind and went for Goh’s fairly safe standard kick, your opponent was, unfortunately, lucky enough to get that move blocked. Due to previous fights with him you know that he will either go for a throw that you know the throw escape of, a punch combo, or a staggering, half-circular mid-elbow that would lead to a huge follow-up for him. As you’re running out of time – did those 45 seconds really go by that quickly? –, you want to finish the match here and now. But what to do to turn the tables putting this match to an end?</span>

 

do p+kp+g and input his favorite throw escape during animation at the same time then if sucessful p+g him 46p i dont know goh very well

 

I hate you .....

But totally right: a Sabaki Throw Escape is your best option here deflecting all kinds of attacks your opponent prefers and saving you from his throws (that you know the TEs of), plus it allows for the quickest retaliation counter (even if not totally guaranteed).

 

'punch combo or elbow' was the clue =) hey leonard, do more quizzes pls. i've been using Goh lately and really wanna learn him. ^^

 

It was too obvious then? .... arghhhhh

 

yeah with goh the stubborn sabaki is always the way to "goh"((pun)ishment).

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">I hope this time it doesn't get solved within 20-ish minutes ...

Read carefully and solve the following situation to your advantage. Post your solution below (and don't be vague).

What a lousy start you had in this tournament final! You barely managed to make up for it in the last two rounds. It’s 2:2 now – the last round decides the whole tournament. You don’t feel so confident anymore, eventhough you prepared so well beforehand practicing the timing of even the hardest combos in and out in Dojo Mode. You are up against a really strong player, though, who is able to read most of your actions (although, funnily, he always tech-rolls to the very same side). His superb Yomi mastery has put your health bar to an alarming minimum again. He feels quite relaxed – which is no wonder as his health bar shows barely any sign of depletion. (In fact, he still has 149 of 200 life points.) Time is, again, running out making you dead aware that your next action may very well be your last. Fortunately, you just managed to successfully hit him with +. But how could you still win now?</span>

 

46KG would cause a head crumple and leave the opponent falling down in face-down head-towards position setting up a potential backstagger combo (since you know they tech towards the same side) where u can get a low throw against the back-turned crouching opponent.(?)

 

^He wins... That's pretty much the answer I think.

 

Well, there are still some factors you have to take into account, that are not described here. What character does he use? Was + a CH?

Either way I'd combo with max damage (depending on character, should reach ~70) then do /+ to the side the opponent tech rolls. That would add another 30 so it's now around 100 dmg. adding a ground throw would add another 30, but that's only 'cause he "feels relaxed" so I'm guessing he wouldn't get up that fast. Adding a ground pounce after that could finish the round, but that's not really that certain...

HOWEVER. The opponent COULD escape the ground throw, he COULD get up fast enough, so that instead of ground throw + pounce, I'd only get a light pounce for 12 dmg.

Whatever that would be, even with the most skilled opponent, in the situation described, you could easily take over 100 of his life, leaving you BOTH in a tight situation, possibly winning through time.... or maybe ring out....

EDIT:

Hmmmm, that could also work... 70 + backstagger + back throw, nice!

 

46K+G head crumple 66p+k i think bounce 46p+kpg cancel series he lands and tech face down head towards om p to his favorite tech side for backstagger 33p(funny looking flop) he tech again use 2/8k+g gets hit, ground throw. i dont know goh very well nothing is guaranteed tho

 

Yeah I assumed it was a CH because it's a heated fight and I don't think he'll let you land a 46KG unless you guessed right or it's against Lei Fei being in Doku stance fishing for an auto-sabaki. I was thinking about the most damage possible in this situation because of the clock winding down.

edit: was thinking of a combo similar to Numbers' that involves OM P to the correct side.

 

BF K+G, FF P+K, P, shoulder ram. OPP techs to the front,
time the tech with ur OMP to create backstagger, DO FF K immediately if they cannot break stagger for a second back crumple, and then Backthrow.
( : only works if ff K, isnt broken out of stagger for the low throw to connect.

 

there ya go. ^^ didn't know what to do after OM P. thx!

 

u might b able to even
bF K+G, FF P+K, Delay jab for a higher float, and FF P+K for a double bounce, on lighter weights, shgoulder ram but i can be wrong.

 

after backstagger a little hardcore p+k+g 43p+k4/6 p. I would replace with 66K+G hit throw or 3k+g hit throw after back stagger. LOL my vf creativity kicking in btw nuthing guaranteed and i still dont know goh very well

 

just did this on Blaze:

46K+G - 66P+K - P - 46P - fwd dash - OM P - 46K+G - 66P+K - P - shoulder ram

2nd 46K+G could be blocked im sure but the combo still looks nasty >

edit: on Blaze i got another 66PK in place of shoulder ram

 

ff k comes out much quicker than, 46 K+G, so during the recovering of backstagger, i would prefer the FFK.. harder to stagger out of that.

i think the best option is still: BF K+G, FF P+K, P, shoulder ram. OPP techs to the front,
time the tech with ur OMP to create backstagger, DO FF K immediately if they cannot break stagger for a second back crumple, and then Backthrow ( guaranteed ). This is the most common backstagger with goh=death combo

 

I would go 66p+k into bounce low punch and either shoulder ram or into ground punch

Cant think of much else
