Heavy site contributor, Nyoronoru, has written a handy guide for how to play Gold Lightan in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.Gold Lightan has a great deal of Super Armor to blow through attacks, but he can still block like any other character if he chooses. This means that Lightan is not susceptible to the long combo strings that define most players' styles. Lightan's Super Armor is so strong that he can hit people out of their Hyper moves even if he is being struck by them.
To play Gold Lightan effectively, do a lot of jumping while traversing the screen. This threatens the ground Hyper, covers good distance and lets you block things thrown at you in the air.
Always Baroque moves with a lot of recovery time and master the art of the Crouching Light Attack. If you find yourself on the receiving side of a lot of projectiles, do a quick dash through them and begin attacking.
Again a HUGE shout out goes to Nyoronoru for taking a lot of time to write up this outstanding guide for everyone to check out.
