    Yeah, I suck at the game, but he was probably my favorite character to play.

    Gouken's cool, I like how his style isn't exactly the same as Akuma or Ken and Ryu.

    Man... as much as I love Gouken (and he is still my favorite of the new characters), his shoryuken and tatsumaki moves = NOT SAFE..   drives me nuts.

    I have made legitimate attempts to be good with him against people but Ken's shoryuken trumps Gouken's shoryuken move every single time.  And don't ever use down back kick (tatsumaki)... just don't ever try to use it in a match.  You are left hanging in the air with your nutsack wide open for abuse.

    his back throw into ultra is the shit tho..  very easy way to ensure you get the full ultra as opposed to having to use shoryuken to FADC to ultra with Ryu/Sagat..  anyhoo enjoy!

    Hulk is really liking Gouken a lot, just a really fun character to play with some nice new little variations on the shoto tactics.

    Sounds to Hulk like you're just using his moves wrong.

    His dragon punch move is awesome.  It's for bypassing fireballs, it's not meant to be going head to head with a Ken dragon punch.  His hurricane kick move is not meant to just be thrown out there randomly, it's his anti air move.  So of course if you're just tossing it out as an offensive move as opposed to using it as a counter attack you're going to get punished.  Same thing happens if you just spam the dragon punch with Ken or Ryu.

    I kinda like the old geezer, but I still prefer the straightforward power of Akuma, or Sagat. Definitely my favorite of the new characters.

    Man, so few people have unlocked this dude online that whenever I play against him he thrashes my Akuma. Which makes me think maybe I should unlock him.
