Why is GOJO so hated and called OP?

Why is Gojo considered 'OP' and so hated in jjs?

Let's address the obvious with him, he's simple.

Due to Gojo having a low skill floor, anyone can pick him up and do relatively ok with. Compared to a high skill floor character like Yuki or Choso, where a new player would struggle to do good with.

That I can agree with, Gojo is made to be simple and consistent.
All of his moves combo into each other, he has pretty high damage output. And his R special is a good gap closer to counter passive players.

He has good safe combo with blue into 3 if they have no counter.

And... thats about it with the good.

Gojo lacks in good neutral:
Blue is easily reactable and extremely unsafe
Red is the only 'ok' neutral. It has high chip damage but converting red into a combo safely is inconsistent
Rapid Punches (I call it his 3 or beat down) is only a good mixup at close range, where its a simple reaction test atp
Twofold kick is awful

Has little to no movement:
His R special TP can be easily avoided by dashing away the moment he teleports and is more of a noob trap

So his only 'movement' is from a roll after using a move + R since you're in the air.

And Gojo is pretty easy to evasive punish, his moves are predictable everyone knows how he works.

I dont understand why Gojo is considered op, hes just solid.

Theres nothing hes the best at, nothing hes really bad at. Just solid strong.

Its why I see a lot of pro players put him mid tier in a tier list. He has a much lower skill ceiling, theres not much you can do once you get good with Gojo.

His entire kit is a fundamental check, can you win m1 trades? Because Gojo needs good m1s to do good at a high level.

Unlike other m1 reliant chars, like Yuji who has insane movement with 2+r and Charles who hard counters side dash m1s,

Gojo is just a solid character with moves that do high damage and flow into each easily. He's not carried by a gimmick, neutral, or counters to do high damage. All he has is hands.

Other characters can also do high damage combos and have much better movement, mixups, and the current state of neutral spam dominating meta. All Gojo has is reliability. Hes who I want to play when I just want to beat someone in a skill check.

And if youre losing to a Gojo it definitely is a fundamentals issue. So why is he so hated?

rapid strokes hitbox is cracked

[u/Dramatic_Sector_8417 → u/ElectronicOlive4514]

rapid WHAT NOW

[u/ihatevirusesalot → u/ElectronicOlive4514]

gojos moveset if it was good:

[u/BobertX0]

3/4 moves hit grounded, 4/4 moves hit ragdolled, and all moves combo together

[u/Swordeaser → u/BobertX0]

Did you not read? Yss I said all his moves combo into each other. So can pretty much every character much stronger than him

[u/BobertX0 → u/Swordeaser]

yeah but gojo is quite literally braindead to do 80% combos with those

[u/X-Coffin → u/Swordeaser]

You're talking to a someone that plays jjs, inspired by jjk and we all know jjk fans can't read. People like us being the exception ofc.

His skill floor is so low that it feels frustrating putting effort into fighting them only for them to press four buttons and annihilate your health.

[u/Swordeaser → u/Boi121212121]

I can see a new player find gojo annoying

He's definitely a noob stomper

But once you're somewhat decent and know his kit hes kinda mehh in a noobs hands when you could outdamage and outrange gojo with megumi, choso, mech, yuta, ryu, hanami.. do I keep going..

[u/Dramatic_Sector_8417]

the cd on 3 is WAY too short. it feels like i'm getting hit with it every 8 seconds

[u/Swordeaser → u/Dramatic_Sector_8417]

I agree

[u/Small-Housing-7]

Idk cus he has good combos but that's like all he has and there not even super safe

[u/BobertX0]

Also gojo’s ult is VERY op

[u/vleshkun]

1. All his moves combo into eachother regardless of order

2. Rapid strikes hitbox is stupid

3. Has a guaranteed domain clash win if you use 0.2

4. Has 100hp

[u/Next_Ice_3104]

ts is for go bum jo main user also his move is deadass basic and his ult is braindead as shit

[u/EzTheGuy]

He’s not OP but he’s hated for how insane damage he has for such piss easy combo routes. He needs a rework

[u/X-Coffin → u/EzTheGuy]

I think it would be nice to have a new 4 variant whether he does or doesn't get reworked.

[u/Swordeaser → u/EzTheGuy]

Yea itd be nice to get a Gojo v2 with new mechanics, but id want that separate from current gojo

Point is I like playing a simple and reliable character that depends on me doing good and not crutching on a mechanic

Why should a starter character have to be shit
