Question for Gouken players

^ That was in reference to be able to cancel kongo into another non-ex kongo. When it was mapped to kicks you could cancel high > low/ex or low > high/ex.

I’m ok with the 3 button input b/c when it was 2 zones if you jumped in on him with an attack, your only option was to empty jump b/c it beat cross ups without the need to auto-correct.

We need EX Kongo… lol. Can’t guess right all the time… I do wish that HP kongo could beat grabs though…

I’m not sure why they just couldn’t keep the kongo cancel in with punches, but it might just boiled down to the way the inputs are read shrugs Maybe there’s a way they can bring double kongo back, without mapping the kongo inputs to kick buttons.

MP Kongo just seems like an afterthought to me. The reason for that is because they mapped it to punches only, and it’d sure be awkward to have a special move only executable with only 2 of the 3 punch attacks. Having 3 different kongos would be a straight-forward solution. It would’ve been pretty cool if they retained high, low and made the third a block parry. But then it raises the question “what about EX Kongo?” I just thought of it now, if we had a parry option that could counter throws, I would be perfectly willing if EX kongo didn’t exist. The only weakness to it then would be armor-breakers and command grabs.

There would still be high/low weakness just like the old kongo had.
