General Gouki Strats

Hey guys, I am new here so if I am being noobish, i am sorry. But anyway. I just want to become a general badass with Gouki. I mean I have the basics down. I just need some combos if you could help me out. I am using K-groove and I am trying to get good at the just defense. I know that the “demon kick” is a good opener for the raging demon. I just need little tips to make me a better all around player. Any help?

Well, I’m no pro at Gouki, but here are some tips:

-In the beginning of the match, jump back and execute the air fireball.

-If you’re opponent is in the corner, teleport and do the shoryuken immediately after.

-If you’re opponent is chasing you, air fireballs usually keep them at bay.

-Don’t try the Raging Demon if you’re playing against someone good. Just do the other supers.

-Since you’re on K-groove, running and short jump is pretty effective with Gouki. Run towards the oppenent and before you get close to him, short jump so he won’t trip you. While in the air, unleash a barrage of low punches, mediun punches, low kicks, medium punches. No high punches or high kicks.

Here are some combos:

-LK, LK Hurrican Kick, HP Shoryuken. I believe this is about a 4 hit combo. If you can get two or three more low kicks in the beginning, it’s pretty devasting. To get close to the opponenent, I jump at him and execute Down, Medium Kick. This way, I’m not to open to uppercuts.

-I haven’t done this myself, but on Live someone did it to me. He Shoryukened me and while I was up in the air, he did the super air fireball. I think I’ll practice this now :slight_smile:

-As mentioned, if you teleport when the opponent is in the corner and you Shoryuken, you can get three hits in there.

Thanks all I can think of for now. Good luck.

Shoryuken xx fireball??? i dont think so - that would only work if you are in an EX groove or A Groove activated…

If he did it on Live that puts him on X-Box. That means P-Groove cancels. That is what I think it was. P-Groove cancels aren’t available in PS2 version or the arcade. You can cancel specials into supers in P-Groove on Gamecube and X-Box.

Ah, P-groove cancel. I see.

On-topic, can anyone share some good Raging Demon setups? Thanks. Using K-Akuma as well.

been posted many before - but here you go…

dash forward demon
teleport behind on wake up demon
empty low jump demon
running demon
break stock demon
fake cross up with hk demon
wake up demon
anti air demon
F+MP xx demon

Also to note are

Dive kick, demon
lk hurricane,demon(this will work alot if you buffer it from a c lk and you’re not too far off after. Opponents usually try to hit you as you land but you have the frame advantage.)

A nice part of your Gouki aresenal should be the tiger knee air fireball. You can get some funky stuff going with that thing.

With K akuma going for a raging demon after u jd certain attacks can be very successful. Alot of times I jd jumpin attacks and manage to get the demon out b4 their next attack comes out. Also good to do when u jd ‘safe’ attacks at point blank range like most light attacks and other stuff like shoto cr mp’s and sagat’s cr hp.

Other demon setups i like to use are:

st lk tick into demon
whatever normal xx qcb + lp then demon
whiff a move on their wakeup and demon
