Mobile Suit Gundam: Ex Revue/CGelgoog

Overview

Overview

A commander type variant of the Gelgoog, Char's Gelgoog is EX Revue's resident Guile function. Char's Gelgoog plays a strong long to mid-range game with a good fireball and a better flash kick, and some fittingly large normals. His flash kick gives him a good answer to most okizeme, but his normals suffer from a speed issue, and against characters who can play the same fireball game he can, Char's Gelgoog can struggle to open people up. His damage also leaves something to be desired as his gameplan doesn't lend itself well to stunning quickly, but his fireball game can more than compensate.

Playstyle

Pros	Cons
Strong Zoning: Char’s Gelgoog has an incredible zoning game that can shut down offense from nearly every character on the roster. Goes Infinite: Char’s Gelgoog has a corner-only infinite. Hard to Pressure: Zero Crash, Char’s Gelgoog’s Flash Kick is an incredible reversal that can shake pressure with ease and is hard to punish.	Bad Against Better Zoners: If a character can force Char’s Gelgoog on the offense he won’t be able to do too much. Has to Take Risks: In the corner Char’s Gelgoog needs to commit to easily punishable options to be threatening, although the reward is often very high. Easy to Whiff Punish: Char’s Gelgoog’s C normals are very strong pokes, but one wrong read will leave Char’s Gelgoog wide open for a long time.

Normals

5A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - Yes Fast, long and disjointed. Pretty solid jab for harassing walking, but unfortunately whiffs on crouching opponents.

cl.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - Yes C.Gelgoog's only close range button. Plus enough on hit to link a 5/2A or a 2B afterwards. Decent on block as well but the range on it is very short.

f.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - Yes Similar to 5A but a bit taller and a lot slower. Good anti-air from range or if you don't have a flash kick ready.

5C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - Yes The breadwinner. Huge mid-range button, fairly slow but not terrible given the size. Terrible whiff on recovery. A core component of corner pressure and general fireball play.

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Low - - - - - Yes C.Gelgoog's main low. Fairly average 2A for this game. Easily confirmed into a flash kick for a knockdown.

2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - Yes Not a low despite appearances. Still a fairly strong button as it's fast, shrinks C.Gelgoog's hitbox on startup, goes over lows when it's active, and is fairly safe due to the pushback.

2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Low - - - - - Yes C.Gelgoog's actual sweep. Hit at roundstart and sets up for a meaty fireball. Slow and extends C.Gelgoog's hurtbox well before it's active, so it's prone to getting thrown or outpoked.

Jumping Normals

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - High - - - - - - Fast jumping light. Decent disjoint but underwhelming angle for air-to-air, and not low enough for an instant overhead. Gets outshined by other jumping normals.

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - High - - - - - - Fairly long jump-in. Good speed and range for air-to-airing.

j.2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - - - - - - - - C.Gelgoog's best air normal. Huge hitbox in the front and back, active for years, and about as fast as j.A. Combined with his double jump this button can be hard to block correctly.

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - High - - - - - - Big jump-in. Does huge damage if it lands and can cross up at some angles.

Special

[4]6A/B/C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - - Half of his gameplan. Fireball with fairly quick recovery and a fast charge time. Decent damage both on hit on block. Most of C.Gelgoog's knockdowns let him meaty the opponent with this for some free chip or a 5C followup. A version is the slowest and the best for baiting jump ins or staying safe, C is the fastest, and B is somewhere in-between.

Zero Crash [2]8A/B/C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - - The other half. Very strong fully invincible DP, and C.Gelgoog's main anti air. It's fast enough some characters can't safejump it, and the tall hitbox for the last hit makes it hard to bait. Is also C.Gelgoog's main combo ender for 2A confirms.

Hyper-Kick Mash X	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - - Multi-hitting stabs. Fairly decent hitbox at first but degrades quickly, very fast for its size however, and does good chip damage. Pushes him out very far on block so it's hard to punish.

A+B+C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - Mid - - - - - - C.Gelgoog spins his staff above head height. Decent anti air from time to time and leads to an infinite in the corner. Unreliable in combos midscreeen however due to the large pushback on hit. Not very safe on block either.

Combos/Setups

Type	Inputs	Position	Damage	Works on:	Notes	Video Example
Combo	2A*N xx [2]8X	Any	?	All	Main confirm anywhere on the screen. Can add in a 5A before the flash kick if they're standing. Do as many 2As as distance allows.	Link
Combo	j.C 5C > [4]6A > [2]8X	Corner Only	?	All	Big damage stun route in the corner. Delay the [4]6A slightly to make the flash kick a little easier.	Link
Setup	Throw > 6 > j.2B > cl.5B > 2B	Any	?	All	Unblockable setup after a throw. With proper timing it hits meaty and they're set backwards towards you, making the cl.5B easier.	Link
Combo	A+B+C > 5A xx A+B+C > 5A*n	Corner Only	?	All	Char’s Gelgoog’s infinite. Finnicky anywhere from beyond point blank but if you land it you win.	Link
