Portion of Pain
I made this Gojo guide just for the bucks, i didn't have any other ideas at the time, and the day after i was gonna be using Meaty Michael and getting some footage, so i was working tooth and nail till 2 am working on this guide so i could be free. But besides from that, i think its good that i made a guide for him, 90 percent of the player base doesn't use his broken ass variants and combos, so i knew that making a guide on this would for sure get more people to outline how good he is, i mean right now he's a sleeper character, no one fucking thinks he's good, so I'm trying to change that.
But starting off, Gojo being an all rounder is definitely his core archetype, but you can combine it with a little bit of mix up, one of the key parts of playing with Gojo, is being able to bait someone's ragdoll and get your combo off considering its a one time combo before you have to wait for everything to come back again, and he is incredibly good at doing this. Because of his sweep, in which everyone knows that it hits on the ground and its instant, much like Garou from tsb, so in this case, you can easily just fake out a sweep attempt, making them ragdoll and being able to take advantage of them trying to punish your attempt, you can also do this by uppercutting people, its like a trigger for evasive use, because you can hit your ruthless beatdown off of uppercut, and its also an instant use, people will automatically think "oh he's gonna pop his 1, easy punish", but walking forwards after uppercutting will trigger that same reaction, and result in them ragdolling behind you, and opening them to an easy combo start. This is the key mechanic that i like to use with Gojo's kit, i mean it really separate's the bad players from the good players, although it works on almost everyone ngl, you'll most of the time be able to make someone ragdoll even if they don't use it before you start your combo, sweep being an excellent example, say they don't ragdoll, you could just pop sweep, and keep a little distance so they cant ragdoll on you and hit you, and if they don't ragdoll, free m1 extend into a move, if they do ragdoll, you've got ruthless kicks, blue, and palm strikes all at your disposal. However against smarter people, like I'm talking thousands of kills, i usually just use ruthless kicks first to get that free damage off without risking a 50/50 with their evasive so i don't end up getting punished. But all of this has to do with his mix up element, and why i find Gojo so fun to play, even though his kit is simple.
