Thanks for the quick reply!

I am definitely looking for a grappler with a great / best neutral game so Goro seems like the best fit. I understand that any grappler wants you into the corner but I don't really enjoy jumping in / rushing-down constantly and just itching to open someone up. I enjoy frame traps and control through pokes to drive people into bad positioning and then working them over. 

I see so many combo videos but there just isn't a lot of content on the finer points of each character like how to apply a their specific normals in a neutral game. I'm sure that as the community grows, there will be more content available. I love reading people's thoughts about the metagame though.

I usually just lurk but these forums are kinda dead.

I'm completely new to the entire KOF series. So, forgive my trespasses.

I'm interested in Goro but I am not sure if he's right for me. Is Goro just a monster mixup grappler? I'd like to play a grappler that's a little less one-dimensional than "rushdown-until-corner-then-go-crazy." 

The few videos I can find of decent Goro's don't really show any usage of the ground pound. Is that thing even good / usable? Also, is there a Youtube Channel that has a decent Goro so I can see a good sampling of how he plays against the cast?   

I really like to control space with my characters without projectiles through poking and spacing and Goro is said to have great normals. The previous posts suggest he can get zoned out easily, though. Since he's a grappler, I guess people just runaway the whole time?
