Hey why is there no thread for BRUCE!

Nice juggle list going to have to try some tomorrow. Can’t wait for the patch, nothing is better then practicing your combos in match and as of now it is impossible for me to do any CH b+2 juggles with the lag.

Bruce’s damage is broke as fuck, I’m surprised it took Hole Man and NIN so long to rank him A

Wasn’t he always hovering around the top tier? In previous list, I’ve seen him one level below Steve, but I agree, dude has some sick damage output, even without juggles and walls, he can put a hurt on a person.

His juggles are so easy is the thing too, and he has like 12 different ways to launch. d/b+3+4 is safe and can lead to 100dmg juggles with a wall on CH. My friend says it’s safe anyway, I havent tested it personally(no record function, thank you again namco)

I remember seeing a list on difficult to use characters from korea, and it had Bruce on the top, as one of the hardest to execute, yet I don’t feel that way at all, stringing mutliple 3cd1 is fucking simple (off-line with no lag!) His staple wall combo after a wall bound is cake too, just mash that f+3,1 d/b+2,1,4.

Where exactly is the difficulty in his combo’s? It’s not like I’m some kind of execution god either.

None of them are difficult at all. Lee is like an advanced version of bruce, he’s basically capable of the same terrifying damage but only with walls, but his more solid pokes make up for it. If you ever watch FightingGM vids, you will see what I mean

I was wondering if Bruce was an easy character or not since I’ve never really played Tekken before and I was doing his full juggles the couple of hours. Thing is, I also play Bryan and his combos are not terribly difficult either. Neither is his taunt cancel into combo.

Bruce doesn’t have any just frames, or EWGF’s, even his crouch dash is pretty simply to pull off. the main thing you have to work on his is 3cd1’s mid juggles, and that becomes second nature with a few round of practice.

Sure, he’s got a stance game. But it’s no where near as deep as other characters like Lei, Hwo, and Steve.

Basically, Bruce is a pretty straight forward wrecking machine.

I’ve always like the straight forward wrecking machine type (look at my av). I honestly don’t care if he’s one of the easiest to play or the hardest because the character just fits my style.

You’re right that the hardest part of playing Bruce is the 3cd1s but I got that down after an hour or so of practice. Once you get the rhythm it’s easy. Being able to do half damage off a CH 4 or CH b+2 (my two favorite moves for CH juggles) is ridiculous.

Ya know, I’m not using his magic 4 as much as I’ve seen other use it. It seems like Bruce has so many options for juggle starters, I tend to pick a few and just use them.

I like it alright. My favorite CH juggle starter is b+2 due to the fact it’s gdlk. It’s decently quick (17f i believe), good range, hits mid and leads to some easy half damage combos.

PS I edited the juggles list on the last page with some updates

What’s the frames on Magic 4? I wonder if i should start using it in place of my standard punishers. I mainly use-

-10: 1,4,3
-11: b+1,2,1
-12: f+2,4

Of course I’m not too knowlegable on all the differenct character’s frames, so when I doubt, I throw out my -10 frame punisher. Who do i have to either kill, or fuck, to get namco to add the record/playback function in practice mode?

Also, does b+1+2 have any high crush properties? I’ve noticed it seems to slip under jabs sometimes.

I wouldn’t recommend using 4 as a punisher since it only launches on CH.

I’m really enjoying using f,f+2 against mashers

am i retarded, why can’t I do 3cd1?

i played a bruce the other day his psn id was ronin…something, this guy was absolutely disgusting as bruce. just thought i would drop in to say im very afraid of bruce having played one who kept carrying me to the wall and raping me.

what part are you having trouble with? the cancel into crouch dash or actually getting the attack to come out?

I dunno, the cancel into crouch dash I guess? I do the 3 then try the CD, and it never comes out, ever. I think it came out once out of like 100 tries, I must be doing something horribly wrong.

Hit 3 then 2 and immediately after the 2 press forward… you aren’t cancelling the 3 into a crouch dash but the beginning of the 2.

yeah, I’m retarded. thanks for the help. :china:
