Mobile Suit Gundam: Ex Revue/Gouf

Overview

Overview

In the hands of Zeon pilot Ramba Ral, the Gouf would prove to be a formidable foe for Amuro Ray and the Gundam during the One Year War and would go on to become a mainstay of Zeon forces, with plenty of variants being developed over time. In EX Revue Gouf's playstyle is very reminiscent of Street Fighter's Dhalsim, using the heat rod to attack the opponent from far away. Gouf also has a very floaty jump compared to the rest of the cast, and features attacks that allow Gouf to change his trajectory in midair.

Playstyle

Pros	Cons
Long Disjoints: Gouf has some crazy disjoints, making it very easy to stuff buttons safely from long range. Gets Around Zoning: Gouf has some easy ways to get under a good amount of fireballs either through his Sand Warp teleport or using 2B to slide under them.	Few Combos: Gouf has a hard time with combos making him have to rely on stray hits to kill. Bad Movement: Gouf’s movement speed is incredibly slow and his jump is extra floaty, leading to some awkward situations if he has to run.

Normals

cl.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - Yes A short kick, not much else to say really.

f.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - Yes Fast, long poke. Whiffs on all crouching characters.

cl.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - Yes A roundhouse kick

f.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - Yes A longer, more active but less disjointed poke. Also whiffs on crouching characters.

cl.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - Yes Gouf does two swings of the heat rod. This normal has very large hitboxes but there's a big gap between the two hits. It has some use as an anti-air, but timing is tricky.

f.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - low - - - - - No This useful attack hits further than half a stage. Still whiffs on crouching characters.

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - low - - - - - Yes Fast, low kick.

2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - low - - - - - Yes Sliding kick. Can low profile many attacks.

cl.2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - low - - - - - Yes Like 2B but does more damage and causes knockdown, even shares 2B's hitboxes.

f.2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - No One of Gouf's best buttons. The long reach allows for this sweep to punish a lot of things that would be safe against the rest of the cast. Knocks down as the cherry on top.

Jumping Normals

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - high - - - - - - Air knee. Hitbox extends a little lower than the foot. Lasts until you land.

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - high - - - - - - Air kick. Hitbox extends behind both legs. Best used for contesting jump-ins or crossing up opponents.

j.2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - high - - - - - - Like j.A but moves you forward and has a bigger hitbox. If this attack is done while rising it moves Gouf further upwards, but if done while falling it moves Gouf further downwards. Very useful for getting past fireballs Gouf might land on or punish oorly spaced air buttons and anti-airs.

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - high - - - - - - Great jump-in button with a long reach, but the surprisingly small coverage means it's not that hard for this button to whiff at specific ranges. If timed correctly such that only the lower hurtbox of an opponent, this will count as a low.

Specials

Shotgun 236x	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - low - - - - - - Average fireball. The button pressed makes it slightly faster. The fireball will whiff when done too close to the corner.

Heat Saber 623x	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - - Gouf slashes upwards with a sword. Stronger buttons increase the startup, damage, and how high you go.

Heat Rod 41236x Be honest, you wanted 236x, didn't you? Be honest, you wanted 236x, didn't you?	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - - Extends the heat rod with electricity. Large and long hitbox. Causes a knockdown.

Sand Warp 632146x

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - mid - - - - - - Gouf dives into the ground then jumps out and attacks with knee. Invincible on startup. Where you come out depends on what button you press. Causes knockdown. A - Left of screen B - Middle of screen (Slightly left) C - Right of screen. Gouf can be grabbed before the hitbox becomes active, so against more experienced players this attack may backfire.
