Green Goblin Norman Osborn

Learning Green Goblin means learning two movesets and the transition between them. On the ground he is a zoner: Razor Bats throws bats on varying paths with up to three out at once and a follow-up available, and Pumpkin Bomb lobs a bomb that cycles through sticky, explosive, poison and stun — four different status effects on one input, in a fixed rotation you can track.

Mount the glider and everything changes. Glider Attack A is a steerable claw swipe on Light, Glider Attack B is a tracking missile on Medium, Glider Attack C is a steerable downward projectile also on Medium, and Glider Dash on Heavy is a mounted lunge whose straight-up version is invincible — though it costs a lot of gauge. Glider Retreat steps off with directional control on the way down.

Green Goblin's round is a question of uptime: how much of it do you spend mounted? The ground game exists to build toward the glider and to survive without it.

On foot. Razor Bats is the primary — bats on varying paths, up to three out at once, with a follow-up available. Pumpkin Bomb cycles the four statuses. Shock & Awe is a forward punch where Medium and Heavy land as overheads, which is your grounded mix-up. This is a complete zoning game on its own, and it is what you play while the Glider Gauge recovers.

Getting mounted. Two routes. Glider Summon calls the glider and mounts it directly, on the ground or in the air. Flyby Kick is an air kick that puts him on the glider if it connects — so it is a conditional mount that doubles as an attack. Use Glider Summon when you have space, Flyby Kick when you want the mount to come with pressure attached.

On the glider. Your buttons are now mounted attacks. Glider Attack A (Light) is a steerable claw in front, B (Medium) is a tracking missile, C (Medium) is a steerable downward projectile, and Glider Dash (Heavy) is a mounted lunge — straight up is invincible, which is your only true reversal, but it costs a lot of gauge. Glider Raid also works from here and its Medium version can catch teammates too.

Meter. Sky Scraper is an explosive glider lunge that tracks the opponent while mounted — a Super that is meaningfully better in stance. Goblin Surprise, the Ultimate, is a missile into a mounted follow-up that refills the Glider Gauge on hit. Treat that refill as the primary effect: it buys back the resource the whole character runs on.

Thirteen entries split across two movesets. These are the ones that define each half.

Green Goblin benefits enormously from an assist that covers the mount. Glider Summon is the moment he is most exposed, and a teammate's Assist Attack buying that half-second is worth more than any damage assist you could pick instead.
