Gameplay Overview
Geese Howard is a man who needs no introduction. His normally sizable movelist has been slimmed down compared to previous entries; his combos are generally short, and he also has far fewer special moves than most other characters in Real Bout 2. But that's not stopping him from being arguably the best character in the game. Command grabs are incredibly powerful, and Geese gets to command grab you from basically halfscreen. That alone would put him close to S tier, but he also has great damage off of small openings thanks to his powerful Pursuit attack that can be set up off of various knockdowns. Geese either outright ignores the rules of the game or enforces them on the opponent to an insane degree. He's the perfect pick for people who can handle having a specialized toolkit in exchange for dominating neutral and offensive prowess.
Pros |
Cons
|
- Lightning Spin Kick is an advancing normal that's plus on block, has a huge kara cancel window, and leads to a combo if it hits.
- The best command grabs in the entire roster, with two incredibly reliable options in Vacuum Throw and Rashomon
- Frame 1 catch counters that immediately reverse the game's momentum and set up Geese's offense very well
- Strong, utilitarian normals
- Divine Punishment is the most damaging Pursuit in the game, and is an extremely consistent combo tool
|
- Limited toolkit; not much variety in special moves or combo chains
- Defensive options require a hard guess or meter to work
- No invincible attacks outside of Breakshot Reppuken

Your primary poke. Its range is good and the recovery isn't terrible, but its damage is low. You have useful cancels off of this, primarily being either Reppuken or Feint Reppuken. Cancelling into Feint Reppuken is difficult to see coming, and frequently gives you enough time to go in with a 4B kara throw. Reppuken will not combo, instead serving as a frame trap that punishes opponents for trying to poke you out of a Feint tick grab.

Super useful low kick. It opens up huge damage with its 2BBC chain combo, lowers Geese's hurtbox, and generally is just very scary to deal with. You're minus on block, but Geese has ways to make challenging there scary.

Long range cancellable sweep. The recovery on whiff is terrible, so you shouldn't just throw it out, but it's even on block when cancelled into Feint Raging Storm -- this also perfectly sets you up to kara 4B into Divine Punishment when it connects.

Pretty normal throw that side switches and leaves the opponent just shy of Geese's feet. If he throws them into the corner, he can land a Divine Punishment afterwards.

An alternate version of his standard throw, where Geese repeatedly palm strikes the opponent's face while they're on the ground. It does more damage, but Geese jumps away afterwards instead of remaining close. You're better off going for something else most of the time.

Chokehold throw that deals the most damage of any of Geese's normal throws. It leaves the opponent on the same side, thus making this the throw to use if you want to keep your opponent's back to the wall. Speaking of which, throwing them into the corner with this lets you nail a Divine Punishment.

Ground travelling fireball. It's deceptively easy to jump over, and the recovery is somewhat hefty, but it has a decent travelling speed that lets Geese pester from afar. If your chain doesn't end with a knockdown and you aren't up close, you'll be cancelling into this most of the time. Also functions well as a Breakshot, as it gains invincibility in that circumstance.

Geese winds up his Reppuken before sending out a much bigger one that eats opposing projectiles and has a much taller hitbox. This one has some interesting properties. The initial windup period has a projectile hitbox that can nullify opposing projectiles before sending out a smaller one akin to 214A. Its long startup period makes it somewhat difficult to use in a traditional fireball sense, but it can make opposing zoners' lives a bit more difficult. Like its smaller counterpart, this gains invincibility as a Breakshot.

Counter that catches all low-hitting attacks, including specials. Geese parries the incoming attack and palm slams the opponent in the face, sending them away. This can be ground teched unlike Dragon Throw, but does not switch sides. It's hard to use this properly unless you have a hard read on your opponent's pattern, but this is necessary to keep your opponent from brainlessly meatying you with lows all day.

Counter that catches all high-hitting attacks, grounded or airborne, and specials that do not hit low. Geese catches the incoming attack and slams them on the ground behind him for a long untechable knockdown. Your premier anti-air threat against aggressive opponents. On hit, this is a free Divine Punishment every time, which adds a not-insignificant chunk of extra damage on top.

Counter that catches any mid-hitting grounded normal. Geese grabs the opponent and shoves them behind him for a combo opportunity ala Scum Gale. This counter can be difficult to properly land a knockdown off of depending on the spacing, but the threat is huge if you can confirm it into Deadly Rave. Very useful counter that will beat a lot of offensive patterns clean if used properly.

Possibly one of Geese's most infamous moves in Real Bout 2. By itself, this is just a command grab, which is already pretty good. Like other command grabs, there is no associated whiff with this attack, thus leaving it essentially risk-free if buffered properly. On successful connect, it throws the opponent clear to the other side of the screen, which sounds bad. But Geese has very little trouble getting in thanks to the ability to cancel this off of Lightning Spin Kick's startup, giving him a much larger effective range in which he can land this. If the opponent jumps, the spin kick comes out unhindered, frequently still leaving Geese in a good position to punish their jump on landing or make some space. On top of that, if Geese throws the opponent into the corner with this, he can usually get in and still nail them with a Divine Punishment pursuit for more damage!
