A hop kick is where you extend your legs (i.e. press the kick button)
while the character is still on the upward arc of the jump.  A jumpkick
is where you extend your legs when your character has started on the
downward arc of the jump.  It takes a bit to get the timing right.

If you watch others playing the computer, you'll see that the computer
has various "ruts" and "patterns" it falls into.  Make a mental note
and exploit them when necessary.  Also, you know when the second guy
is coming into the game.  You can usually get in a free "special" (warp
kick, tackle, etc.) on the second guy before he lands.

Goro is the guy with all the arms.
