Gordeau is one of the two characters that can steal GRD from the opponent. Force Function also gains 3 frames less startup and less recovery while also having head-level invincibility frames when in Vorpal state.
Gordeau is a simple-to-pick-up power fighter with long reach and good priority in his normals and special moves, as his scythe gives him solid near-full-screen control and is also able to expend his meter for solid EX moves to use as reversals. Either way, his fundamentals and easy-to-grasp combos lead to solid damage off of nearly any hit confirm.
At middle distance, use 5C or his specials with good priority like Mortal Slide or Grim Reaper to beat out his opponent's moves or to keep them in check. At close range, use Aim Opening or 6B as overheads in order to force openings during blockstring pressure, especially when combined with his command grab for tick throw setups.
Not only does Gordeau have his fundamentals and his long range, but he can also steal the opponent's GRD, making him a powerful character to control that gauge with and also gives him access to the benefits of Vorpal state more often. However, a most notable weakness of his is that he lacks non-physical zoning tools or any sort (such as a real projectile), which against careful fighters, can easily render his best pokes to be beaten out when used at bad times. This also ties into his scythe-based attacks being very situational due to them covering only certain angles (such as his 2C having weak-horizontal range for an anti-air and his Shade Harvest having a narrow hitbox), which in turn also adds commitment to said pokes.
Another big weakness of his is his lack of fast safe moves outside of his throw; because of this, Gordeau's aforementioned laggy pokes cause his neutral to present some risk. Examples include his 5C, 3C and his Grim Reaper, all three of which can be easily punished on whiff or block if used carelessly. Playing Gordeau while simple, does not encourage haphazard use of his tools.
