there are other good matches on there if you look up the rbs replays The saudi Arabian’s can really play this game. So can brazilians!
Look at maxato and Tsurugi play in rbs.:tup:
ya that saudi arabian guy beat my ass but not as bad as SB’s krauser haha
My krauser sucks. :lol: 
the funny thing is my matchs that are recorded either get cut short or the really good battles I’ve had in rbs are not recorded
I played a guy from japan in rbs yesterday that was good with billy and ex billy. Not having any good air defensive attack is billys weakness. That’s billys main weakness imo.
Getting fools off you when you don’t have the break shot is hard for billy. The attack that goes up and come down on you isn’t a good dp move imo. I kick people out of that move all the time. Its ok, but not a true anti air attack. Maybe I have to time it better. I can use billy and do use billy in most games he is playable, but soft ban myself from using him in rbs for the most part. Well unless I get pissed off.
With that said, good luck trying to get in close to pressure billy.
DarkFreeman from brazil is the best player i’ve played against in rbs, period!!! The 2 best player i’ve played on 2df in rbs are brazilians. I’ve beaten alot of brazilians too, but atleast 2 of them are my hero’s in rbs. I’ve never been beat that badly in rbs. Too bad it didn’t record, because everyone need to see that battle I had with him.
Franco Bash-- maybe better in rb2 due to the high low mix up’s in rb2, but franco bash is no where near the bottom of rbs characters imo. His combo’s are to strong in rbs. If you don’t believe me play against ninjamatt. The only problem I see with him is that he is a big character and he can get rushdown, but that’s what the plane shift is good for. To get out of pressure traps.:wgrin:
Chonshu–His mix up’s are great in rbs imo. Play against maxato on 2df and he will show you how Chonshu is played in rbs. Best one I have seen on 2df.
Terry-- His rushdown is sooooo great in rbs that it’s almost broken if you don’t have a meter for a breakshot. You can’t get that fool off of you.
:looney:
Krauser–I think I proved my point on how krauser is pretty good in rbs. He’s not top tier, but he’s not in the bottom either.
Yama–This guy is great in every realbout game. He’s better in rb2 with his overhead special move and chains off overheads, but I think he is top tier in rbs also. He has the best short jump in rbs that lead into 1 bar combo’s for free. MOre range on his special grab I think. He is easy top 5 character in rbs imo.
Bob–I don’t play bob so I can’t judge him in rbs, but if he doesn’t have an infinite in rbs that’s great imo. Fuck broken shit!:arazz::mad::arazz: Even if it’s hard to do I don’t like stupid broken shit. If you want to play with infinites then play a marvel game.:looney:
Ex Mary-- you showed me that she isn’t the worst character in rbs. I never seen her played like that. That was an eye openning fight. I don’t know if she is top tier like DG claims, but she can whoop some ass for sure!
I think the main problem is your playing rbs like it’s rb2. I will try to play rb2, so I can compare the 2 games fairly.:wonder::wgrin: I think that alot of characters were nerfed in rb2 and that’s why I don’t play rb2. I was talking to arstal on 2df and he said that was one of the main reasons he liked rb2 over rbs. He likes games that tone down characters because he said it makes you have to think more when playing if characters aren’t as strong as they were in rbs. He thinks it’s too easy to rushdown in rbs. He thinks the game doesn’t suit players that like to turtle.
Thus rbs is a onesided rushdown fighter and not well rounded like rb2 were you can rushdown or turtle to win. He might be correct if I understood the points he was trying to make before he got mad and left the room during our debate. Maybe he can explain better than what I tried to do.:wonder: I view RBS like it’s the ST of the real bout series! What I mean is every character is good in rbs. Every character has a chance. Even EX tung and cheng have a chance to win. I hate games that nerf characters and I feel that’s what they did from rbs to rb2.
I feel you can play rbs rushdown style or turtle style. Most people don’t even give rbs a fair chance when they read on srk line shifting fucks up the game. That’s so far from the truth and anyone that sits down and truly tries to learn how to play the game will view line shifting just like any other evade move like rolling in kof/cvs or dodging to the attack in kof95.
I might have been wrong about ex tung!!! the other tung is still better, but ex tung isn’t as bad as I thought he was.
Ok I’ve started to play rb2 just to compare the changes in the characters I play. I have ± system that I’m going to use when grading characters I play with in rbs to the rb2 version.
Krauser:
+= 1. He has some cool throw chains off his special grab. This adds a new twist to krausers gameplay. Kinda making him the alex of rb2 with a fb
+2. Better air defense in rb2. He has a grab dp like goro on kof. Its also used in his chain special grab combos. Its hard to dp the short jump attacks., but its still a great move that he needed.
+3. His supers are easier to do in rbs. The gigantic cyclone is only a 360 with C button. That makes it easier than rbs to pull off imo. You can also combo the krauser wave easier too. Making the krauser wave a sonicboom motion with bc instead of hold back, then press upforward is soooo much better imo. That makes it easy to krauser wave someone who spam the fb’s all day. The deadlyraves seem easier to do also. His ability to use supers during a fight is better in rb2 imo.
+4. Leg tamohawk is an overhead. This is a good option to have a special move overhead, but I would rather it knock your foes down like it does in rbs!
- = -1. The leg Tamohawk doesn’t knock you down or hit multi times like in rbs. That was the best thing the LTH did imo. That set up krausers great wake up mind games! You jump over him to start the crossup combo or you can empty jump into the special grab.
-2. None of his combos knock you down. The close standing c c dp with c doesn’t knock you down and the combo overlaps with the new dp move. This is a nerf I can’t stand in rb2. It seems like they tried to take away krausers best/most damaging ground combo. They also wanted to take away the ability of krauser to knock you down on any combo he does. His normal combos in rb2 are so weak if it doesn’t include a super imo. Ducking b c is his best combo. Why do you think that his best combo larry? Because it knocks your foes down. Then you can use/abuse those better special grabs he has in rb2 in your wakeup mixup’s.
-3. Krausers Wakeup game is so weak in rb2 compared to rbs. He has the same looking overhead, but in rb2 its easier to use. Unless I missed a high low combo his mixup game is weak in rb2. With most of his combos not knocking the guy down hurts his wake up/mixup game imo.
-4. All of his normal attacks are nerfed imo. Rb2 dashing standing C is still good, but not as good as rbs. He doesn’t have that slight sliding movement anymore with the dashing C punch. That is his main pressure attack in rbs and his best poke in real bout history!! Its as long as blankas ducking fp, but comes out like sagats fp. I hate the nerfing of the C punch, but I know people wish cvs2 would have nerfed blanka and sagats fp in cvs2.
-5. The gigantic cyclone has less grab range in rb2. Yes it is harder to pull off in rbs, but it has great range. The only other super that strikes fear into real bout players is yama’s throw super!
I think krauser is played like a bootleg alex with fb’s in RB2. I think krauser is still good in rb2, but rbs krauser is MUCH better imo. More to come later. Next will be tung FU ru!
I’m not going to talk about line shift attacks because that is a gameplay issue imo. Not a character based issue like it is in rbs.
I got a lot to read and catch back up with…give me some time guys and I will comment on some things…
-Dark Geese
You never changed this list DG to the updated list sir.:wonder:
Tier list by shinblanka:
-
Billy-has great range on his attacks. He has one of the best breakshots in the game. The dragonflame is one of the best special moves in rbs and he can pounce attack after any throw he does from anywhere on the screen! Also has the strong ab>c<c combos that lead to serious damage!
-
Sokaku-with his great range on his attacks. He has great high damage combos. He has the 2nd best plane shifting special moves in rbs(fire blanka ball). If used correctly it will beat ANY normal plane shifting attack. Best pounce attack in rbs(lighting strike). He forces your foes to counter roll against the lighting strike when they are low on life. He also has one of the rare/best supers in the game that hits in both planes! This is great to counter plane shifting happy players. He has the same type of breakshot as ex billys. Its not a counter, but its so slow that you can bait his breakshot just like ex billys with single attacks.
-
Ex billy- doesn’t have the dragonflame. He has counters and those are riskier to use than the dragon flame. Also his breakshot is the counter, so its great to use against multiple hitting attacks like billys twirling stick or mai’s rekka when it goes into the honda hand slap type attack near the end of the rekka. Since its a counter it will come out and counter the other hits. Usually the breakshot has 1-2 frames of invinciblity at the most if they are ground based breakshots. Multiple hitting attacks are weak against ex billy, but trying to breakshot single attacks is his weakness. That’s why he isn’t better than reg billy. He has the best anti air super with the dp firewheel super!
-
Yama-- has great damage on his combos. He has great range on his normals and special attacks. He has a great counter and breakshot. He also has the early wakeup attack to stop the meaty attacks during wakeup. Builds meter faster than anyone in rbs with the snake fang cancels.
That list prolly won’t change imo. Everyone else is on an equal level imo. Ex andy, Mai, franco, krauser, lawrence, terry, reg tung, reg blue mary, ex blue mary, and hon fu not in any order. Bottom maybe bob, cheng, and ex tung but I’m working on ex tung.
Oh yeah…let me get around to that… I’ll drop Duck to S-.
I now have Mai, Krauser, Kim, and Duck King as S-.
If you’re gonna have 7 guys in “S” tier it really isn’t “S” anymore.
Also any mary strats?
Not true…Krausers down b, down C in RB2 knocks down.
Chopa: Thats why its S and S-…also screams of a pretty competitive game because besides like the top four (which even then are hard to pinpoint universally, top 2 are pretty concrete) its hard for everyone to agree on whos what…
Yea this game is more about how you use your character more than actual tiers imo. There’s the top 2-4 and then everyone else is around the same strength imo. Very good not weak like other games. You can even compete with the bottom 3 if you get good with them.:karate::karate::tup:
