Update: The quiz has been solved. The correct answer was: No Mai, no buy. The winner is Anarkira from Norway. He will receive the free copy of KOFXII. Congrats!
Unbelievable but true: For the first time you can really win something on Goh Notes. If you’re interested in 2D fighters, in particular in The King of [...]

Put your Goh knowledge to the ultimate test!
A fellow Goh player askes for your advice. Post your answer in the comments below. Be as precise as possible.
This Aoi player is terrific! Not only that she manages to escape my ground throws far too often. Even if I go for a down-punch when she’s [...]

Do you wonder why the fun zone for VF is so different each time you play? One day you’re having an aweful lot of fun, learned new things, won quite a nice bunch of matches and lived up to your level. Whereas an other day you simply can’t make sense of the game. You’d [...]

Well, sort of. Who doesn’t remember one of the most renowned Virtua Fighter players ever? Back in the times of Virtua Fighter 3, phenomenons like Akira Kid or Ige Lau were breathtaking VF talents.
The video I’m representing to you marks the zenith of Virtua Fighter 3. The International Maximum Battle Championship features the best [...]

SuddenDeath and I came up with the idea of making a tutorial video about escaping side throws simply because we never really dug deeper into side throws. Even the VFwiki isn’t a too great help here. Not only is it hard to distinguish which side your opponent is on (left or right). But also, the [...]

Twitter has eventually invaded Goh Notes too. But for the better: I can now get the new content onto the blog that wouldn’t make it into a whole new post. It takes time to develop posts, especially if you’re writing about game theory in VF5 or how this and that is going to work [...]

Way back in June 2008, I reviewed VF5 for GamersGlobal. Not until FatalRose from VFDC reminded me of that article, I completely forgot about it. Now, I revisited my work and gave it a final polish. Enjoy the deepest VF5 review on the web.
You can only really review a game like Virtua Fighter 5 after [...]

Since launch Street Fighter 4 has gained high review scores accompanied by bombastic sales numbers. A good amount of VFers already gave in, bought SF4, and returned disappointedly without ever quite leaving the VF scene. Capcom’s hype – also caused by their now-matured, original SF2 players – is taking hold of the more hardcore VF [...]

So far, my articles about how and when to defend only touched the standard share of techniques that you can use for a consistent defense. I covered ETE and ETEG, Fuzzy Guard and Crouch Fuzzy Guard. But what other option do especially Goh players have?
Sabaki Throw Escapes open up a new defensive strategy that [...]

Apparently, the video host Vimeo that I uploaded all my videos to doesn’t quite like game videos. Without further warning my account got deleted and therewith all the VF5 match videos that I uploaded and shared on the Goh Notes Video Channel.
I’m currently working on a solution, trying to find a new upload-worthy host that [...]
