Somehow I have now managed to lose 1K PP in the last 24 hours. I’m assuming it’s only a matter of time till I am in the 1000’s…
I know the feel bro, just gotta know when to stop playing sometimes. I fell from 3500 down to 2900, bad match after bad match. I only rank with gouken since he’s my best character. I don’t play much ranked now.
It’s just crazy. As I’ve come to rely on EX tatsu I’ve lost reliance on Counter, so I rarely do the counter after a fireball anymore when that shit was always money. I’m not losing cause of Gouken, I’m just losing cause of stupid shit. I lost to some 1100 ken cause it was laggy as fuck. I beat some 3300 Yang three times though… So dumb.
Why can’t Gouken demon flip when Akuma has u2? Trollface
man, i lost it today.
rufus did standing roundhouse into my mp. kongo and counter hit me into ultra.
I went from 3000 PP on PSN straight to 2100 the other day after I fought 5 2500pp~ Adon and 3 3000pp+ Akuma in a row.
How do you fight Adon? Very carefully.
Then again I did start fooling around after I got to 2300~ by playing Hakkan and T Hawk. Come on, not like it could get any worst.
After realizing my mistake I am back to 2700pp, but still no where near my 3800 pp Peak pre-AE. =/
It’s supposed to be like that.
Didn’t you know?
Here is my AE change list: All anti air moves now travel the same height for all characters.
LP version hits low attacks. MP version hits ground attacks. HP hits high attacks. Sounds sane right?
Just went 5 losses straight in ranked just now and im pretty pissed off! Lost to 2 adons a zangief and an akuma. Zangief was all my fault I tryed to ultra his jump in and he recovered to block so I did it too late or it could have been online lagg. Adon that matchup is crazy for gouken IMO i feel its in adons favor although not too bad. AKUMA AKUMA on the other hand is just retarded! One knock down equels death! 5-5 my ass its in akumas favor!
Honestly I can’t see myself getting far with gouken unless they give him some good buffs in the rebalance becuase he has to deal with too much bullshit and he has too many bad matchs! I dont understand why I keep playing him and frustrating myself to death. Im delusional thinking I can win a tourny with gouken or get far competitively with him. Can I? No one else has done it and I think there is a reason why lol!
I have never played such a frustrating fighting game playing a frustrating character!
who ever said akuma was 5-5? Adon is is armor break hell, and has a lot of safe specials so he’s really annoying no doubt. I’d rather fight a really good akuma than a really good adon personally.
I don’t recall anyone say Akuma or Adon is 5-5 with Gouken. Adon can navigates with ease. If he is cornered, he can just EX jaguar kick out. To get Gouken cornered, just fake lk. jaguar kick. Gouken have no options between throw out HP or jump back.
Neutral jump? Though I personally jump back.
Adon is tough once he is in or you are in the corner but it isn’t as bad as it used to be for me. Take it to the Adon thread?
I’m convinced that Gouken’s best move is block and will assert that everywhere I can. Gouken’s buffs should include spiky armor that hurts those little Twin bitch’s fists when they hit you. Fuck 3 frame reversals, characters taht can keep looping the same shit for free, sonic boom followed by backfist, unpunishable attacks, getting thrown on wakeup, our destroyed Kongo, asshole recovery on everything Gouken does, fuck not having a hit confirm, an ultra that is almost useless unless you pull a herp derp backthrow, and fuck any stupid 12 year old Yun player calling me a scrub for pulling it off ftw.
Gouken is the master of block.
too bad command throw beats block. one more reason it suck to fight the twins.
On a close range dive kick, unless the twins’ dive kick hits exactly at your feet (on hit or block), cl.st.mk will beat out anything they do with a counter-hit. Try it.
So I think that makes my point about Gouken. His best move still sucks lol
He is in dire need of a GOOD close range move.
3 frame st. lk that is special cancellable would do the trick imo.
You’d still get killed with opponents who meaty frame trap you with cr. tech. Especially shotos. He needs a good reversal… IMO as punishable as it is, tatsu should = srk and cause hard knock down. It’s literally nothing Gouken can do after landing tatsu. And crouchers SHOULD get hit up close.
So I’ve been playing ranked for about 10-12 hours total and took Gouken from 67 BP to 4800+. I’m in the top 50 now, woopeee. He still sucks. Whenever I come across a decent player his weaknesses become too glaring. Deejay rapes you(WTF with that jumping knee and it’s enormous invincible hitbox?), Akuma rapes you, Fei, Blanka, Balrog, Rufus,Bison,Seth,Ibuki…hell, Hakan gave me trouble today. This Ibuki I played was basically going training mode on me. I hit her once each round. Bah.
Gouken is great to beat people that don’t know what they are doing.
