Thanks for the vids bro, my current bang game is seriously lacking, ill be sure to study those vids and hopefully get better.
Man TKing Bang’s “SUPA CRHUSH” after f + D is so annoying 
Just pretend your doing a Jump install combo in guilty gear and buffer the jump by pressing 8 as the kick hits and then just do the 623B eazy peazy
Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to the scene…both SF4 and Blazblue. I currently suck pretty bad at both of them. I however wish to add something to the Bang topic though I don’t know how much it actually helps. 
using his standard teleport grab (B+C), as soon as teleport you can use the shurikens too (and set nails). What I find funny/odd is that you can use the poison nail on medium-big characters to stop their horizontal motion, leaving them falling right by you, time it like you would time a 623B. It leaves them open to BnB combos, but of course, requires 1 shuriken.
In the corner you can improvise with 236D (-3 nails), to have him catch more nails, 1 top one and 2 ricochet, OR 236C (-1 nail) to Web them for more combos.
This has prolly been covered, but I didn’t see it in the guide, so I thought it would be a nice mix up to talk about.
you can in fact even place a bumper nail, sadly I don’t think you can combo anything out of it. The easiest one to combo after is the web nail but its nothing spectacular.
Anyone else have problems against GOOD Noels?
I hate noel’s hitbox. I forgot her hitbox was smaller so I did a bnb and at 2C to fatal eruption I forgot to throw a web nail and wiffed it. But yea noel’s who know how to use her give me trouble.
Bang is total win
Is it just me or do the bumpers mess you up more often then they help you mix up your game or help you do some damage. If there is a lot on the screen it can be a total mess and whenever someone is standing right below one and I try and go for the crossup I get sent back where I came.
I dont use them much but any strats would be cool
oh yeah and bang is the best character in this game hands down. If it wasnt for him this game might just suck
I hold 9 then once it hits i spam QCFs and mash B. scrubby I know, but it hits every time :wonder:
This game still does suck, even though Bangs a bad ass.
You have to adjust to bumpers to get real usage out of them. There’s combos involving them that do alot of damage, off the top of my head:
5a > 5b > 2b > j.c > 3 bumper dash > land > 5a > 5b > 2b > 2c > 6d > 623b does around 3k.
Out of curiousity why do you say this game sucks? Is it cause of the lack of balance?
Gotta confess - Bang really isn’t built for this game. Too many mechanics shutting him down. Tech throw windows, throw startup compared to jump startup, lack of fast jabs/lows (again compared to jump startup), hell barrier blocking shuts him down/limits him greatly.
Then you have the fact that if you’re opponent can block really well and knows the holes Bang has, you’re really not gonna do much damage.
Still, I hope we can get it right again next time…though this may not be what 10stars feels specifically.
Like you did that much damage to begin with. Let’s face it, as much health Bang has his damage output is on the weak side.
The only problem I think Bang has outside of the low damage output in combos is the lack of invincible special. He needs one imo.
I was more referring to you landing a combo, and mixing it up 3 times or so. Hooray for working harder for the same results :grrr:
I wish bang had more nails. Every time I run out of nails I feel like I fucked up. And I usually have a match where I have no nails. Though if bang had infinite nails, it would almost be like Nu and her swords. The umbrella super would be actually used then too (and still wouldn’t be as crazy as Nu’s sword super). The only time I used it when some new guy was trying to play runaway with me with Tager (I don’t know why he didn’t try to come to me).
I think one of bangs major weaknesses is his learning curve tbh, his more damaging combos are a pain to pull of and fully utilizing his mixup game is rather difficult. I am yet to find one bang online who uses the bumpers at all, and ive met some really good bangs in my time. Despite this ill never give up on bang, anytime i feel down i go watch a dora replay and i realise it can be done lol, its just veeeery hard.
Bumpers aren’t hard, just tedious and situational.
Bang install is HARD though. No lie about that.
Situational? Please how so(im still a bang rookie) cause ive seen people use them in the middle of the screen but also in the corner, ive seen them used for loops and also for some nasty mixup so please elaborate on what you mean by situational, but yea they are a pain to use.
FRKZ on the other hand, is freaking murder to use properly, i dont even use it in ranked matches anymore cause i always lose when i pull it out, i only use it in player matches cause my friends are always calling for it.
oh btw does 2b > 6c work on everyone but carl? Or does it whiff on small characters aswell?
