Florida Kombat
Dragon Fangs is a variation of Goro that adds very good tools to a very solid character, especially in the rush down department. Throwing in a few mix-up opportunities with a new string and also a special that are specific to this variation.
Dragon Fangs is also the highest damaging Variation of Goro, mid-screen and in the corner. Goros' style is to get you in the corner and keep you in the corner, having numerous AA options, the best one being U1/U2. So I decided to make a video of all of my combos (As of right now, they are the MAX DAMAGE) mid screen and in the corner.
I will be stealing a few things from @Espio 's guide while he has written a very thorough guide on the Tigrar Fury variation.
Also please check out @dennycascade and his thread with the newest patch combos!
Dragon Fang Specific Moves:
- D1 - has more range due to the fang.
- 212 - (Bruiser) String that ends in an Mid instead of the traditional low (214)
- BF2 - (Low Fang) Meter-less Low special to keep your opponent guessing. Mainly used in pressure. Relatively safe at -8 on block.
- BF2+BLK - (Piercing Fang) The god send tool of this variation, will go into detail below.
- DBF3 - (Shokan Stabs) Same Command Grab frame data, but deals more damage 16% EX deals 20%
- DB2 - (Fang Spin) The primary move of this variation, deals 4.87% chip. Good to end block strings in.
- DB2+BLK (Dragon Spin) The armored launcher version, deals same about of chip, but on hit deals more damage in combos.

CORNER SECTION
Goro has some good damaging combos in the corner, they do take some execution and alot of practice. I mean after all he is the Master of Kombat, he can't be that easy to control right? Goro also has really good mix-up opportunities in the corner and being able to armor break with 3d3 is really nice. Examples below.

That completes this guide showing all of the combos and what this character is capable of. Goro is not meant to zone in this variation at all, this is a purely a rush-down character. I hope this guide helps and inspires people to pick up Goro as the Goro community is really small at the moment. Really looking forward to seeing this character played in tournament more. Goro is now a legit character with this latest movement buffs.
Thanks for looking at my guide if you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
I do stream once and a while on the twitch.tv/EVB_Gaming channel so please feel free to follow that channel and when I got live you will get a notification to see some Goro action.
Bonus Video: I am starting to do a Ft5-10 against people with Goro so here are the videos I have so far.

Also I have made another thread involving how to fight against Goro. These may come in handy since Goro is going to be a more common character picked as he is rising up in the tier list.
