Virtua Fighter 5 (Goh Hinogami) By: Alex "Joker" Hall Started on: April 30, 2007 Completed on: September 8, 2007 E-Mail: [email protected] - Well I'll put it simply....I've been working on getting a Virtua Fighter 5 walkthrough up as a means of my "coming out of retirement" kinda deal. Well I'm still hard at work with it, but I figured as much that I should at least put out there some character walkthroughs as well. I was planning on doing this in the first place once I got the full walkthrough up, but I figured what the hell....lets do it now. So with that being said I'm here to give you all this guide on Goh Hinogami. - As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property! I happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission ok. I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as you ask for my permission first. Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok, lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of thinking. Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised! My e-mail box is always open! - A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com. I write for that site and that site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are. Any update that I do will hit there. I don't really plan on keeping up with how many other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and update it on their site as well, so save yourself some trouble and headache and check my guide out at GameFAQs ok. I really don't want to deal with a million e-mails asking me about updates and info and such when I'm telling you now what to do. *Goh Hinogami* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion (User Created Tactics) (Credits) *** Goh Hinogami *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=========================================== ::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+~~~~~~~~~~~========================================== ::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:::+=?~~~~~~~~~~=~~===~=~=====~===========================+ :::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~+=I=~I:~~~~~?=~~~~~==~~~~~============================== :::::::::::~~~~~~:~~=:~?~7$~=+I~=7+?~~~=~~~~=~~~~~~~============================ :::::::::::::~~~:~~:=~=$I$$$$7O+$$+=~~?~~+~==~=~~~=~============================ :::::::::::::::~~=~=~$I8$$?Z=$7Z777~~$$=I+=?~~~~~~=~============================ :::::::::::::::~=?~I7Z$$Z$IZ?ZO7I?$?ZZ$$$IZZ~=++~=~============================= ::::::::::::::~==Z7$7ZZ$Z?Z?7?I=I?7Z$$Z$$7Z$Z$77++~============================= ::::::::::::::I~$ZZ$$OZ$I?Z~77$~=I$$7$I77Z$O$Z$$7$+=+~========================== ::::::::::::::77OZZZZOZ$I+~I+7==?7$+ZI7?I$Z77ZIZZ$$77=~========================= :::::::::::::=O$ZO$ZOOO7?7~+==:?7==III++7Z+77$7Z$$ZZI~~~~~~~~~~~=~============== :::::::::::::78ZZOZZOZZ?II~?+~~I?~7II+=+$??I7I7+ZZZOO=~~~~~~~~~~~~============== :::::::::::::7OOZOZZOZO77II?+:+?=II7===$77???+$$ZZZZ$~=~~~~~~~~~~=============== ,:,,:::::::::$OOZOZO8ZZ7$?7I=?+?+=?I~+~I??+7=I7ZZ77Z$7I+~~~~~~~~~~============== ,,,,,:::::~+OOZ8ZOOZ8OZI$I$++II??=7+$=?:?=?7=$8$7777$Z$=?~~~~~~~=~============== ,,,,,:::::+ZZZOO$ZOZ88O7$?7??ZZ7?7I7$I++=?+=$$ZZ$77Z$Z$$?~~~~~~~================ ,,,,,,,:::?ZZZZOZO8O8DZ$$7ZI$88$$$8$$II?87?7ZZZ$I$I$I$Z$~~=~~~~~================ ,,,,,,~,::IZOZ$OOZ88888Z$8877DOOZD8DZ$ZZ7777Z7I+IIZ77OZ$?$~~~~~==~============== ,,,,,,,,:+IOOOOZO88D8DDOO8D7DN8DD8D88OO8OZZ?ZZ$I$Z$O7$OZZ~~~~~~~~=============== ,,,,,,,:,~IZOOOOO8D8DDD8ODD$DO8OOD88$ZZOOZ?$77$$$OZZIZZZZ7=~~~~~~~============== ,,,,,,,,:?77$OOOO8DDDDDDZDDO8ZD$Z8ZI7ZZZI+$I+?OO7$$O$ZZZOZ+=~~~~~~============== ,,,,,,,,,7$$Z7OZ8DDD8D$Z8$8O7ZZ?$ZII$ZZ?II~~+7$?7$OOZZZZZIZ~~~~~~~~~~~~~======== .,,,,,,.=I7ZOOZO8Z$O8O7?OO7Z7$$?$I?7OI?7?=?=~+77Z7$OOZZOZZI+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~====== ........,?$$$ZO8ZO$I+7$7?IIZ77?II??7?III?+===?7$ZZOOOOZZZO7=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........+IO8Z7~I7$Z?++I?+II$I?I?????IIII?=~:+$7$ZZZ7ZOOOO$:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .......,.,?Z$$:I=,~=?I===++?7+I???++??I?I??=~=??7ZZ$OOZZZ8I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........:.Z$O7,.~?======+++???+??+???????+7.,,.,?I$7OO$$$Z?:~:~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........,=?ZZ:,=::~~~===++=??+?+++????++?~=~.:.,,~=I$$$7=?..?$:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..........,IZ$7...,:~~===++++I+?++??????????I~~::,::=+I$$I,+~I++I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..........,,$ZZ+,.,,:~~===++++??+????I777$7I?7+~=::,,:=?I::?~.,~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ............:$O=..,,,~~~===+++7++??II$$ZZ$$$7ZI?+:..,.,??::~=ZZI=,:~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .............=ZZ..,.:~~===++???I??I7$O8ZZOODDDDO=....,,,?,,~.+8OZ:,~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............+Z..,:~===++???I7?77$O888Z???7ZII?:,......~~.:~=7OZ+:::~~~~~~~~~~~ .............,.$,..,=+?I????I77IIZZ8O88OIIIIII?~:,.......~.,::+$I=:::~~~~~~~~~~~ ...............,?..~+I$ZZOZZZ=~+?I7ZO8OOZZ$$7I=~,,....~,.::::~+?=~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ................~..:8?++7OD$Z+,~=~+?II7$$777I?+=:,.=~..,.,::::7+:,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............~,,..,8I+?I7ZZ7=:.,,:=+II?II???$I?=~::....,.:,::.,,::~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............,.....:+I7$$$?+~:.:,,:=I7$7I???III?+~~,,,.,.,,::,,:~::~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...............,?:...,=???++=:,.,..:~+I7??+++?III?+=~:,,,,,,:7I+?OZ7=:~~~~~~~~~~ ..............,~7=....:=+==~=+,.,,.,~=I7I??++?????++=~:::,,~~Z$8DO888OO$?~~~~~~~ ..............,,$Z....:===~~+?~.++=:,,:$7I???????+++=~~~:::~=~.D8888DD8888I~~~~~ ...............,:7....,~~~~=+?I.?77II??I7IIIIII??+====~~~~:~+=~DDDN8DD88DD?I:~:~ ................,.+:...,,,:=+II.,I$IOZ$IIIIIIII??++++=+===~=?=~I88DDD88D8?77I::~ ................,,.+......,~=?I====$I??+??IIIIII?++++==+++++?==,OZO88888I77$II~~ ..............,,,,..... ..,:=+~:~?$7+==++?I7777I??++++???+?I+=~:$$ZO8$$$7777I~~ ..............,,,,,.., ....,,~~,,:+I?++==+??I7$$I?+++++??++II++=~.NZ$7Z$$$7$II~~ .............,,,,,,,,,,....,,,,..:?7ZOZZOOOOO8$7I?+++??II++77?+++:,.$OZZ$$$$$$=~ ............,,,,,,,,,,,,....,,..+I7OO8O$?+???I77I?+??IIII+?77IIII+~ZZZZZ$Z$$O7+= ..............,,,,.,,,:O....,+~$Z~,+II?7$$7I?I777??IIIII?+?77II77IOZOZ$Z$Z$O7??+ ................,,:=,:M7~....~I+.,,I$ZOZOOZ$77$$$IIIII7I??I$$77$$ZZ$OZZO$Z87????

This was a former J6 training facility, where Goh had spent much of his youth. As he layed on the ruined tatami mats, sunlight filtered in from the holes in the ceiling to play across Goh's face. His orders had been to assassinate certain fighters taking part in the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, but he had failed completely. He had explained to his superiors that Dural's interruption of the final match had disrupted his plans as well as the tournament itself, but the organization had done little to hide its disappointment in him. He could not afford to fail again. The Fifth World Tournament is his last chance to redeem himself. - Stats - Nationality - Unknown Birthday - Unknown Hobby - Collecting Silver Accessories Height - 176 cm (5'9 1/4) Weight - 66 kg (145 lbs) Measurements - 105/79/85 Blood Type - AB Occupation - Assassin Fighting Style - Judo Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Goh properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Goh Hinogami: I've actually sat down and tried using Goh.....I mean seriously, at first glance when you see Goh just by appearance and some of the demo movies that have him in it, you'd think that he's a total badass and want to immedieately play as him without a second thought. Well there's a very big problem with that....his fighting style! Goh has a very complex style. His move set is far different than any other character's to say the least. He has a few reliable combos that you can fall back on, but that's not saying much with him. You have to learn how to utilize his complex grapples and advance countering system. I would put Goh up in the Akira range of characters. Goh is yet another character that if you're a total beginner to the game, you have to stay away from him. Alot of hours will be spent in the Dojo trying to perfect his style on just the grappling alone. You have to set up an opponent in certain situations in order to start up his advanced techniques. Like I said before, he does have a few combos and strikes that you can fall back on, but if you try to rely solely on them, you're going to easily get dominated by players that are even in the mid-exprienced range. They don't have to be an expert with the characters they are using, they just have to know the game well enough to beat you if you use this. So be prepared to spend alot of time learning his countering as well. His most damaging potential is when he does get the opponent in close and starts holding control over them with his grabs and counters. You can easily destroy everyone you face simply because Goh offers alot of unblockable grapples and grapple combos. And once you get the timing down to utilize his countering game, you are quite possibly one of the most deadliest Virtua Fighter players around. No one can mount a true game plan against an opponent if you keep on breaking their's up and surprising them with a few tricks of your own. Goh has a very solid defensive game to say the least, so if you're a turtle fighter, then here's your character. If you can learn to time counters properly (even to the point that you just win matches solely on using counter grabs and counter grapple combos) and use some of the grapple combos and grapple moves along with some of his offensive combos and strikes as a mix up game, then no person in their right mind can truely say that they can begin an offense or even a defense against you. I'd be hard pressed to say that the few expert Goh players I've fought haven't pushed me to my limits. You will only find a challenge presented to you as an expert Goh fighter from experts only with other characters since only they would be able to maybe figure out a way to finally break your balance of offense/defense/counter mix. So to finally finish this off, spend your time in the dojo training with Goh to learn him inside and out, and don't get frustrated if can't get things down right on the first try. The saying holds very true with Goh and his style of fighting, patience is a virtue. (User Character Tactics) Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I finally made it this far. This part though isn't written entirely by me... This part is written by all of you! That's right....no matter what I say or do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs, everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each character. In that respect I give to all of you this section. E-mail in your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the given character in the given situation you're in. The only way this section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok! I know it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is: [email protected] I will give full credit to you that send in your tips and tricks, so be a pal and help out those around you by contributing to this guide! * Goh * (Credits) - First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass fighter. I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all that it shows off. I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now turning into a Virtua Fighter fan! Way to go Sega, by making an addictive game like this! - Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me to come back and make more walkthroughs. You have no clue how much I missed doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to retire from walkthrough writing! Thank you for all the support and e-mails that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and that you all wanted to see more. Without the support, I think the drive and the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago. - If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then by all means, shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]. I'll take your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can. You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide. Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later! Alex "Joker" Hall Sanctuary Remix
