Goro is an enemy introduced in Streets of Rage 4.

Details

Goro is a bald karateka wearing a white gi, first appearing as a mini-boss in the sixth stage. He never attacks the player directly, assuming a stance before launching an attack. If he backs-off with his back arm on a vertical position he will proceed to launch one of his two attacks, a dashing strike or a close range flurry of punches (in Dokuja's case). If the player throws a weapon he will deflect the weapon by blocking it.

If he stands with both arms wide open in front of him, it means he will attempt to counter-attack, launching one of his two moves upon being hit.

Compared to other enemies, he can quickly escape grapples.

Trivia

• Goro's design and moves are reminiscent of both Ryo Sakazaki and Takuma Sakazaki from the Art of Fighting and King of Fighters series.
• Shared with Assassin Agents, Big Ben, Koobo, and the Commissioner, Goros are considered heavyweights.
• Dokuja's main attack resembles E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap from Street Fighter and Ryo's Zanretsuken from Art of Fighting.
• As seen above the gallery, Goro was originally going to be a Super Sentai/Power Rangers-esque enemy before evolving into a karateka in a martial arts gi.
• He only has one palette swap, Dokuja, making him an enemy with the least palette swaps in game, alongside Koobo.
