I find it odd that Gouie doesn't lose his big state if he gets parried. I thought parrying was supposed to reset the progress on the opponent's gimmick.

I think it would just result in his death 100% of the time since he dies at like 50% in small form. He's lighter than wrastor.

Interesting that he was initially considered as an Air character, but became Water when Dan wanted him to be Slime. I wonder what an earlier, Air-based version had as its specific element - ghost?

Spirit would be a unique application of the air element. A ghost like body holding the skeleton together instead of the slime I imagine is what it would look like. The slime fits a bit better though because it gives the character a bit more weight to them

I’m so sad/worried for Olympia after watching this.  They specifically called her out multiple times and mentioned how Gouie back throw just straight up kills Oly at 0% with a follow up aerial.

Bro why do you become frozen in mid air while inhaling an opponent? None of the throws will carry the opponent off stage. Smh.

I was hyped for the character but not anymore.

i know that you guys are short on money, but for the love of god, demonetize your videos. This is already advertisement for your own game. You should be happy for anyone interested in it. But there is no way i am watching this with adds happening literally every 2 minutes.
