Omega Gouken!

this is fucking horrible.

I don’t know what they’ve done, but I can barely even execute combos when I enable omega mode. I can literally sit there and just try to do cr.hp to ex.palm and only get it like once every ten times.

It’s like they grabbed an intern and asked them to fuck up gouken. And they want me to give them more money? They can eat a dick.

I don’t know what you guys are talking about, omega gouken is pretty great

c.LP chains into both of the standing medium punches
Stomp is +5 on hit, if you’re close enough you don’t always need to FADC after.

Gouken is basically like Evil Ryu atm, lots of links into stomps and fadcs when you’re too far away to keep linking.

Finish the combo with EX Stomp into Ultra 2 and you get a juggle.

c.LP s.MP s.MK Stomp FADC s.MP c.HP EX Stomp Ultra 2, then juggle

There’s a lot to this.

ex palm only allows one 1 follow up.

backthrow does the same damage and less stun than forward throw and lets you quickrise.

antiair cr.mk is now a forward crouching command normal, so say goodbye to that ostech. now completely free to throw.

palm shortcut removed? FUCK YOU CAPCOM, I just spent 5 fucking years getting that muscle memory and you take it away?

That is almost exactly everything I didn’t want.

Yeah they took the palm short cut lol. It’s looking I’m going to have to learn to play street fighter now.

what’s the fucking point of the putting cr.mk on command normal?

back-cr.mk doesn’t fucking combo into ANYTHING that cr.lk doesn’t already. WTF is this pointless bullshit even FOR? an extra half a mini-training block of reach of cr.lk? no, the point is to remove the crouchtech, because fuck you gouken.

Anti air cr mk is now down+foward mk. Forward roundhouse is our focus attack/ donkey kick.

Short cut’s gone. so harder palm and gf flip from crouching…

I like the new potential, but with all the added limitations it doesn’t make any sense.

Lol you can focus the first hit on back throw lol wtf is 2 tools that should of had all along his tatsu and lp Palm and they add it when they stripped him bare of all the tools that he needs to make him competitive… Oh can cr.mp xx exhado but haven’t found a follow up

Easy Denjin set up.

stomp, st. mp xx mp palm > Denjin

I was hoping for “gouken plus awesome” and I got a pile of incoherent crap.

Can no longer air tatsu away. Recovery buffed. Feels like ryu’s. No height restriction.

I didn’t have success FADC’ing out of kongo…

let’s move super to kick, and move kongoshin to QCB for no fucking reason! Ya! That won’t fuck with the players at all!

This update makes me want to quit the game.

Did other characters have as drastic of a change? It’s like playing a new character.

I was hoping…nay praying that they could of just said he’ll he was the master of ryu,Ken, brother of akuma and pupil of gotetsu let’s see how much fun he can be if we buff him up in this version of a game that’s supposed to be outrageous but no… I wouldn’t even use him if he was available in ultra

so they took away the shortcut for palm, but also made it the overlap priority over fireball. So now I can’t get it when I want it, and get it when i’m trying to fireball footsie. I have a hard time thinking of how they could have fucked up gouken any more than they did.

well this mode was fun for like 1 game then ran into a gen :<

ok, so now that backthrow is neither a damage dealer nor lets you go on the offense, what the fuck is it for? I used to enjoy a backthrow. Now I’m depressed when I get a backthrow and realize that it’s a piece of shit that didn’t get me anything.
now that throws are are useless for starting an offense, and so are essentially not scary, why would anybody bother teching with any regularity? So that makes low-kogo’ing a tech a pointless choice.
now that kongo is on QCB, it’s much more difficult to use on defense, so why the fuck is it even there?
fireballs don’t cause float, so why the fuck have an air fireball? Our two hit ex fireball is too slow which makes the second fireball blockable at many distances. gee thanks.
flip throw has faster recovery, but now they can quickrise it, so you are still trapped in the corner.
lp.palm finally has a useful animation, but with no shortcut, it’s stupidly difficult to use.

this character is trash. fuck you capcom.

I don’t understand the point of the donkey kick.

f+hk is essentially the same as a lvl 1 focus attack, minus the ability to dash cancel the recovery. so, why would I EVER want to use it when I could F1dc instead?

I could see the point if far hk was removed and so we could have the axe kick at any range, but they didn’t do that. ALL they did was make axe kick and far HK even more difficult to use because now I have to be careful to not hold forward. So fuck you if you want to use far HK in footsies or close hk as a focus breaker, you are getting this pointless donkey kick instead, when you could have gotten that with a F1 instead if you had actually wanted it.
