The Goh Quiz #3

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: October 4, 2009

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 [...]

5 Things To Do Before A Match

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: September 19, 2009

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 [...]

Video: Akira Kid is back!

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: July 17, 2009

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 [...]

Tutorial Video: Escaping Side Throws

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: June 12, 2009

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 [...]

Goh Notes Goes Twitter

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: April 29, 2009

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 [...]

Revisited: Leonard’s VF5 Review

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: April 2, 2009

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 [...]

Konjou speaks up: Is Street Fighter 4 really worth its money?

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: March 20, 2009

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 [...]

Advanced: Sabaki Throw Escape

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: March 9, 2009

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 [...]

Change of Plans …

Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: November 24, 2008

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 [...]

  • It seems that no one wants to "win" (quotation marks 'cos the quiz is damn easy). Coming to think of KOFXII, that may be no big wonder... 3 weeks ago
  • Shang inspired me to create VF quizzes -- only with the decisive difference that mine are not multiple choice but Goh speciifc. 1 month ago
  • Finally managed to upload that huge VF3 tourney video. Had to split it up into three parts, though. Intend to upload more classic stuff ... 3 months ago
