Tekken 1st Ever Guest Character || How Strong was it?

[@suedeloaf9527]

It's funny seeing Jin whiff and Gon just staring up at him like a confused pup

[@mwkan772]

haha

[@siloPIRATE]

Gon thinking: discombobulate

[@mcknightmorgan2021]

Gon looks like a Digimon character

[@LUAN_JAGUAR]

Tekken 3 was my first Tekken as a kid in the late 90s, so I thought Gon was part of the game, didnt know it was just a guest. some dinosaur fighting games and tv shows like Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade etc were very popular back in that time so you would get used to see dinosaurs, reptilian monsters etc in fighting games

[@mwkan772]

tekken 3 was my first tekken as well and I thought the same about gon

[@kolinovertheelements]

I remember playing gon in tekken then years later l i found he had a manga in my middle schools library. He was the mc in his own series.

[@oblivionnpc3442]

​@@mwkan772 he probably wasnt the strongest but the best one by miles in history of fighting and pvp games fr what underrated show ho read the manga of gon pls

[@FahmiZFX]

Speaking of throws, all of his throws are unbreakable. lol

[@jamessummers5936]

Oh wow

[@JunKazamaFan]

I remember being told that Gon's standing 3 kick was a low in Shirdel's Top 100 Overpowered Moves video, but couldn't believe it. Thanks for the video evidence of that being true!

[@mwkan772]

my pleasure^^

[@dwnpour4122]

I just clocked that Dragunov's SS,3+4 has Gon's sidestep animation😂

[@mwkan772]

xD

[@streetdawg007]

The parlour where i used to play tekken had a specific rule that the cost of playing with gon was twice as compared to rest of characters.

[@thedemoman1813]

Gon will always have a special place in every tekken 3 player heart ❤

[@Bill23231]

True🥺

[@petrock4041]

Gon is not only the best tekken character but the best manga too!

[@mwkan772]

indeed lol

[@bilakos1987]

Pressing 1,1,1,1... was infinite. He has a crouch dash. His ff3+4 headbutt would fail from a certain distance, making him guard-break himself and the opponent could float you. He had alley kicks. He had King's shoulder drop. I think he had the regular giant swing. He had the twisting dropkick like King. He was so much fun.

[@immariahhannah]

In Tekken 3, my friend, who was using King, and I had some unresolved business. King's throws were ineffective against Gon, so he destroyed his controller in frustration. I'm hopeful that Gon will eventually be added to Tekken 7 just to mess up with him again. :D

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

There was a time when Gon was considered a contender for the worst character in the game. He was definitely a very unique characters with interesting attributes.

[@mwkan772]

so true

[@davidparry5310]

He was, though in my opinion, Dr B. just about edges him out - hard to conceive of worse than a character with whom getting them to stand up straight for half a second is a game in itself, and who can't block lows!

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

I’m not really educated enough about the character so I can’t say. He has some wacky strengths but also some very notable weaknesses. Even with his jank, I can’t see him being bannable in an overpowered sense, especially when characters like Jin and Ogre exist.

[@tokyobassist]

Remember when they put this dude in Soul Calibur 4 and called him Yoda lol? Small characters have been a nightmare even outside of fighting games. I'm sure nobody misses Oddjob.

[@shadowknight9345]

If anyone complains about broken Tekken DLC characters, just show them this little gremlin.

[@traezaX1]

Yeah he was soooo cheap 😂😂😂

[@mwkan772]

xD

[@ShiftingCloudsYT]

@@traezaX1thankfully we only played for the lols back then. Esports wasn’t a thing yet.

[@traezaX1]

@@ShiftingCloudsYT Yeah 😂😂😂

[@GourmetSoul]

We had tournaments back then. We just didn't call them Esports yet. (I'm old)

[@Steambull1]

I hate that you always have to fight him in Team Battle (the CPU avoids picking the same characters as you do) and just spam lows. Sometimes he manages to fight back a bit (on Hard of course), but not as much as the regular characters.

[@arossaroze]

You know a char is overpered when the char's fart can be compared to geese's raging storm, Gon? More like God

[@mwkan772]

haha

[@LUAN_JAGUAR]

I only tried Gon a few times, his moveset felt weird. And when fighting against him, id always spam low kicks like stomping on a bug until it is finally dead hahah :D

[@mwkan772]

haha

[@shinvaevictus]

I can remember at least 7 (not just 2 ) characters that have manual low parry: Lei, King, Julia, Hwoarang, Forest, Xiaoyu, and Dr B

[@Zakillah]

Bryan, Nina and Yoshi, too.

[@MegaMiquelon]

I remember Gon was the first ever manga I read in my childhood. I was shocked he made it to Tekken back then. Really liked him. I miss Gon. I wish he’d make a comeback

[@sebhoward6674]

I used to like his fart move🤣🤣🤣 in his command list the name of it was even funny GON WITH THE WIND!!!

[@FudgyDRS]

Never knew he gained life while sleeping.

[@josephyoun8480]

This what I imagine kid Kazuya from tekken 7 story mode to be kind of like if he was playable.

[@mwkan772]

haha

[@tyranmcgrathmnkklkl]

I remember being 5-6 years old and unlocking Gon. I don't know how but I remember how cheap he felt since high moves missed him.

[@thisizmonster]

5:18 Puny god

[@punitpal6847]

Nostalgia and those ground throw you did I didn't even that were a thing 😂

[@CorvoTanuar]

I think I know where Miguel's character inspiration from.

[@revengetekken]

I've always found Gon so cute and adorable ❤❤

[@syamart6305]

In my 30 plus years of live , ive never knew Gon had so many throws.. thanks for the info man. Oh yeah., it would be so much better if you put a brief history about Gon, where this mini Godzilla came from. Because its such a beautiful artwork.

[@Asian_newbie]

If I recall, Gon came from some sort of anime or cartoon (Don't remember) and it was just a brief usage of him in a joking way. Of course after Tekken 3 they had no more rights also I think so he never showed up again after 3.

[@ikedatike2533]

​@@Asian_newbieIt was a manga with no words at that time. He was the first guest character.

[@GEORGIOSMGEORGIADIS4]

Super brain-dead, broken and op! As every guest character should be (looking at you Akuma, Geese etc.) 😅 Awesome vid as always man👍👍

[@TheProswagonist]

To think they'd bring back the heal while sleeping mechanic for Eliza so many years later.

[@mcknightmorgan2021]

Oh my God i can't believe I'm saying this. Back in my elementary school years. My friends told me that he looks like a Digimon character.

[@eazypeezy4505]

It would be funny as hell if Gon comes back for T8

[@pseudohippie55]

It's kinda crazy that in a game with a Panda, a Kuma, a kangaroo, and a lizard, the tiny dinosaur is the weird guest character.

[@davidparry5310]

Alex is not a lizard. He's a dinosaur too. Moreover, unlike Gon, he actually vaguely resembles a dinosaur known to have existed (a dromaeosaurid, to be exact).

[@Jango23]

Hahaha king getting giant swing and not being able to catch the little bugger must have been annoying af 😂

[@Leo-04]

Gon is ridiculously very strong ❤😂

[@mwkan772]

haha yes

[@fatemakhan3843]

Did you know that, there's also an anime called "Gon" 😀

[@noelsplayspot3703]

well we dont care Gon is too adorable and cute xD

[@NoobGamer64-gj4ic]

Imagine Gon vs Geese Howard in Tekken 8, that would be AWESOME!!!!!!

[@shivamimpex96]

Don't know about other thing, but one thing I am sure is that he is extremely cute

[@JDSarmiento]

I wish modern tekken had more troll characters like gon and the dr. bring back the dinosaurs to tekken pls

[@dead_batt1392]

He has the cutest giant swing ever😊

[@kaz6104]

The good old farts and fire 🔥

[@BTG25]

I remember fighting Gon in the game and dude his hit box is so small and you can't hit him that much

[@John.Doe.X1]

Cursed character? yes, but highly cute (those rolls aww).

[@traezaX1]

Man my favourite character of all time ..Gon and True Ogre 🤯🤯🤯

[@mwkan772]

haha I see

[@FFlamer]

Was my favorite character in tekken 1

[@mark20065]

4:01 would be cool to have that in Tekken 8 but consumes the entirety of heat.

[@Ryuukenger]

Make same video about Doctor B. Plz)

[@samkaven1806]

Can you make video on jin pachi mishima tekken 5

[@names_are.uselessyt7908]

its funny king can't ground throw Gon, but Gon is using them on Gon. i'm pretty sure he had a frankensteiner as well. a similar vid w/ tekken 3 Dr B would be neat. He had the best moves list ever in tekken

[@toro2812]

AI Gon was very hard to fight against.

[@KarlKognitiv]

It affects*. Effect is the noun. Affect is the verb.

[@KarlKognitiv]

There was no universal low parry (only two characters had...) Had what? "It" or the "command low parry". The object of the sentence is missing.

[@bradpollard444]

I hate Gon because he is the reason Tekken 3 never was never dropped digitally on the PS store. It would have been awesome to be able to buy Tekken 3 from the ps3 store back then but only 1 and 2 was available. I read somewhere that Tekken 3 couldn't be dropped digitally because of the licensing agreement.

[@tylerensminger]

he literally can KO people by farting. That's strong in my book

[@HarryFrost-qu8th]

I wonder if Gon will be in Tekken 8, considering Tekken ball is returning.

[@Fgtr4Life]

TIL that Gon has the best hellsweep in tekken history.

[@ninjack11]

Gon hits enemies legs, HIGH!

[@Stormtrooperfan219]

Has spinning sweep Has electric (shield) Launching uppercut Heihachis running thing F3 ³ Gon is mishima?

[@azure8935]

Off-brand Agumon?

[@Ninj4Fox2020]

They should bring gon back as dlc for tekken 8.

[@since2133]

I like how very different he is in size and fighting style. Wish we could have this character back again. Fighting games nowadays release very safe characters.

[@Ghakimx]

they would never allow him again due to licensing as well as balancing issues for tournaments.

[@since2133]

@@Ghakimx that’s true. But they should add a character that size and that unique and balance it right.

[@Wizard_Lizard_]

​@@since2133 It's impossible to balance characters who are immune to entire aspects of the game.

[@Ghakimx]

@@since2133 No way. Even Fahkumram and Kunimitsu had hitbox-related issues upon release. They would never allow this unless it's an unselectable character.

[@since2133]

It’s possible if they won’t allow the character to be picked in tournaments

[@mamamia5905]

So disrespectful how he can use Kings throws but King couldn’t even touch him lmaooo

[@amelareyes8845]

Remembered this guy also I believe Alex? The raptor one?

[@soonvroon7623]

make a video on Doctor B

[@jamessummers5936]

When people complain about the balancing of T7 I always think back to the balancing of every Tekken prior to, well, T7 lol.

[@mwkan772]

true lol

[@davidparry5310]

Any game prior to DR is horrible in terms of balancing. I don't think anyone can reasonably dispute that. That said, T7 is the worst-balanced game since T5.0, IMHO.

[@jamessummers5936]

@@davidparry5310 Really? Outside of the obvious characters - Akuma, Geese, Marduk, Julia, Kuni and annoying characters that you just have to have matchup knowledge on - Hwoarang, Nina, Lei and maybe Eddie and Yoshi, the balancing doesn't seem too terrible in T7, imo. Tag 2 was fucking horrendous, but I was a super scrub in that game lol, so my perception may be off a bit about that game's balancing.

[@davidparry5310]

@@jamessummers5936 The gap between Akuma and Gigas in T7 is easily wider than that between Devil Jin and bears in DR, between the top tiers (e.g. Lars, Bruce, Heihachi) and Dr B. in TTT2, or even between the top tiers (e.g. Bob, Lars, Bruce) and Zafina in T6.

[@ksaga8406]

gon rage art when

[@foreveruseless1292]

Imagine if gon made a return lmfao

[@PyccoloSantos]

gon was my main, yoshimitsu second and eddy third.

[@dikapratama3778]

Does anyone hope Gon return?

[@armorking2832]

Best tekken guest ever.

[@maijinseibeizehn3631]

Like most characters in t3 he was broken, if u didnt know how to play against him=gg , I started me tekken pro journey with this character when i was 14y old and start winning most tournaments I went, even after u/f+1 he could actually 1hko you :) and he got a much stronger stuff after ''unblockable'' launchers on block, also he got many character specific things like 4,4,4,4,1+2 the last hit was unblockable vs BIG characters.

[@realhero4356]

Imagine as DLC in T8

[@joos6140]

Ahora del Doctor Boskonovitch😂

[@inzanity490]

Miguel looks different here

[@kdxfinesse98]

Now That I'm Seeing This........Gon Was Purely Absurd lol

[@ilikefishandpotatoes]

So he is the best character to ever exist ever ever?

[@FahmiZFX]

And the reason why people ban him in tournaments, along with Dr. B.

[@googleforcedmetocreateacha6273]

He is the reason we dont have tekken 3 on psn

[@pawepioro2998]

Lei, Bryan, Hwoarang, Law, Lei, Xiao, King, Nina, (True Ogre has special parry)and maybe some others have low parry as well. From the ther hand, after Gon is blocking Heihachi hellsweps he can interrupt by doing u/f+2 uppercut 😅 totally broken character

[@mwkan772]

I see

[@NaveedAalam]

Where is his flying helicopter move ????

[@leroysmith4616]

And despise all his broken stuff, he's considered bottom tier by pros due to how easy it is to exploit his bad movement and floatiness.

[@RichardMitchell-nk9ec]

I used to think he was a real tekken character

[@NoName-cz3wn]

Imagine we got Kid Goku instead

[@brandonsolomon6485]

He is iggy from Jojo ba.

[@atsurokihara5525]

Slick vids 👍

[@spaceghost10010]

I think Dr B may prove more broken 😂

[@mwkan772]

haha maybe

[@sayontheothergamingveteran6651]

YOOO I REMEMBER THE GON SHOW. THAT STUFF WAS FIRE

[@Aabil11]

Gon for Tekken 8!!

[@mwkan772]

haha let's see

[@dredbot3000]

He was so cheap, he was the only character I can beat Tekken Force with.

[@mainmancld1991]

fire dragon slayer, fire won'5 affect him

[@KyeCreates]

Roger jr is exactly gon without sparks n flames

[@syamart6305]

You mixed Alex (Velociraptor) with Roger (Kangaroo).

[@MsCoochi]

This was who you trolled your sibling or friends with back in the day.

[@belvet2324]

service char....

[@Finger69209]

Dino

[@LUAN_JAGUAR]

I can say my least favourite guest. Akuma and Geese are okay but I am not much into 2D fighters so didnt use them. and I never used that final fantasy guy, (Nocus Lucus Calius whatever hes called) either. Negan was my favourite, i played as him a lot until I finally uninstall T7

[@mwkan772]

let's hope t8 has some cool guest characters

[@CAM8689]

Tekken 3 was gr8 but defintely could have done without gon and dr b....esp.when when bruce and lee were left out

[@masterresonax6642]

He was awesome
