[CS1-CSE] Road to Ikaruga - The Bang Social thread - Do you even 3c?

[Dacidbro]

2C startup got nerfed, yeah.

[huey253]

l don't feel like bang got nerfed as hard as Ragna and litchi, but i'm sure that'll change at the next loctest.

apparently litchi is unplayable, and ragna's changed hella

[rei-Scarred]

5A 5B 2B 5B 2C 2B 6C j4C j623B the new Bang BNB l0l

back to no oki and hilarious damage output for us lmao

just kidding we're probably on the bad end of a poor translation. its loketest #1 anyway

[Dacidbro]

No, I mean, if Bang can't wallbounce, he's still totally fine and a very good character. 5A 5B 2B 6C jD web d5C 6D x2 > FRKZ j4C loops you're dead

[huey253]

5B 2B 6C jD 236C 6C jD 236C 5C 6D 623B

should still work in theory

[ZONG_one]

They forgot to mention.

No more frkz loops.

I'll find you the source later.

[huey253]

LIES!

i was perfectly fine with the nerfs before you said that.

[Lord Knight]

Actually I feel like Litchi is pretty baller, I just don't like the techable jC and the 6A needing to be RC'd. . .

but 6A was way too good.

[huey253]

i was going to complain about her jC staffed not being nerfed,

but her ability to combo was wrecked in the first place, so its not that big of a deal.

yeah atleast litchi and bang's nerf list is about the size of nu's in ct, not rachel's.

[ZONG_one]

but 6A was way too good.

Except when I block it/ when it whiffed crouching lambda. rofl.

[rei-Scarred]

Ugh I hate web nail combos. Probably switching mains if thats all we got left.

[Dacidbro]

LOL really?!

[huey253]

rachel is pretty good now apparently, you could try to play her.

[ZONG_one]

I'm totally gonna switch mains with every loketest yo.

Get at me.

[Dacidbro]

They forgot to mention.

No more frkz loops.

I'll find you the source later.

NOOOO :[

[huey253]

i'm on the valkenhayn train lol

[rei-Scarred]

I'm totally gonna switch mains with every loketest yo.

Get at me.

There's an if in that post. I have no way of confirming that if until the final patch is released.

That was me getting at you.

[huey253]

ahh bang doing 2k damage again would be niceeee

[Reioumu]

Still sticking with Makoto even though the parry cancel has been removed

But who didn't see that coming?

Also Bang will still be fine. 623B doesn't bounce anymore which is kind of weird. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that to be like the CT one where it was a lot harder to combo off the wallbounce version which would be fine.

Also, still waiting for source on removing j.4C loopz

[rei-Scarred]

If I did switch I'd probably pick up Noel, but christ they even found a way to nerf her lmao.

Get hype for loketest 2

[ryu-bi]

any idea whether the new (useful) bang combos will require 9623 motion?

I suppose no more quad crash combo if they dont wallbounce anymore

[huey253]

4 seal combos ending with 6D will if you want to tack on super crash

[Dacidbro]

But if the theory is right, that probably doesn't even give you oki... no wallbounce? o-o

[DaiAndOh]

i'm on the valkenhayn train lol

I may be joining that train. It's simple to take me off though.

Give Bang some other kind of cool tool/thingy. Like how Nu got slow field DP and teleport dash attack, Arakune got MEGABEE, and Carl got a projectile and depth. Not like Rachel got a wheel chair and shit super.

Can't really stand playing a character who is straight nerfed with no redeeming qualities to it really. High or low tier.

Oh and as for damage output, I believe individual Bang moves were more damaging in CT. But combos were 6-8ish hits rather than 13.

[rei-Scarred]

If bang starts doing 3.5K for 7 hit comboc again I will lol. People think he's easy to use now haha
