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

[YukiBlue]

Pretty sure the entire forum is maining Bullet now. Im'a be loyal and stick with my boy, though.

[destruction_adv]

Meh, I can never truly drop Bang (I mean I played through CSII those were dark times), but if he stays the way he is, I'll play someone else when I actually want to be competitive.

Especially because Bullet looks like the secret lovechild of Bang and Makoto. Gotta try Azarel too since he's also ultra-manly.

[DaiAndOh]

Not sure if I want Bang or Azrael....

I'm just going Azrael. I already betrayed bang by just annnoucing it. I can't go back :X I bring shame lol

Being able to teleport for movement like that is pretty awesome, too bad BB oki is terrible so it can't be as effective. I'm interested in seeing how he plays at least, but I don't have the time to play multiple characters, lol. Unless they kill off Bang and he isn't in a BB game (please no), I'll always play him.

[YukiBlue]

Bang and Azreal for me. Dropping Bang would put all those FRKZ hours to waste.

I just think we're all on a downer for just how huge those nerfs are. I'd say they have to be some of the worst nerfs I've seen in a long time. But I can't see any of them sticking, It would kills Bang's game completely and make him Extend Tsubaki except a little bit worse considering the corner would do absolutely nothing for us.

Azreal sounds tempting. If these nerfs aren't rectified after a few joketests I can't put up wit shit laak dat in my BB. Azreal hoooooo

I like Azrael, Bullet and Bang as well. I've always used numerous characters but BANG has been the only true "character" that i like as well as using him so i tend to stay. That and i love everything about his style.

Azrael is badass looking and Bullet looks cool so who knows. I subbed Valk, Makoto and Hazama throuh the years so i can do whatever i want.

[NemesisZeru]

Well, after a few hours of trying to do Bang's challenge #15, I've learned FRKZ is for more then just running. ;D

So, considering trying to switch over to him from...the rest of the cast, lol. I've always been a bit flighty with mains. I may not be able to do anything fancy yet, but 4k midscreen's pretty damn good, I think....even if controlling FRKZ on a 360 stick is a pain in the ass(seriously, I always dash forward when I mean to do 6a/b/c/d/whatever, and it's annoying. lol). I'll probably never be good enough to play him(Seriously, playing as anyone but like, Ragna online gets be smashed down pretty hard. :V), but who knows? Maybe I can learn how not to suck, lol.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm sure one of us will be willing to help you.

Thanks! :3

My biggest problem so far is just controlling FRKZ with this derpy controller, lol

I guess I'll try some random matches online. I doubt I'll win, but playing a live opponent is probably better then playing the CPU, right? :V

[NemesisZeru]

Ended up 0/12 on my first online outing with bang. Fought a Hakumen who just steamrolled me a lot of the time if I lost the momentum. Took me half the matches to realize, "Oh, hey, Instead of doing 5a 5b 2b 2c, I could do 6c instead of 2c". >.>;

Derrrp. Gotta remember that. My brain's just autopiloting 5a 5b 2c 623b, which is messing me up. xd

I won a few rounds, though, and usually did pretty well. He switched to Makoto and perfected me the last round, though. lol

You have a Shuu avatar right? I like you.

Sounds like also you need to work on the hit confirming as well. Setting the training dummy to blocking randomly is good for that.

Dat Granzon. :3

Yeah. I need to work on defense too, I think. A problem I've noticed playing on line is I'm no good at dealing with pressure. Like, people push me on the defensive, and I have a hard time getting back on the offensive. I think part of it is that I've never really used 5a 2a and stuff until recently. I usually tried to start combos with 5b, which is harder to do. I did notice I had an easier time hitting once I started using As, though.

And airdashing, sadly. Stupid 360 controller reads my 6s as 9s sometimes, lulz. Sorta annoying when I'm trying to do an IAD D nail, but I end up double-jumping instead, lol. It actually worked on that Hakumen a bit, though. I think he was expecting me to IAD too. :B

That said, I have a ton of problems...but, even after getting my ass kicked, I still wanna play Bang. That counts for something, I think. Feeling more dedicated then usual, at any rate. :D

Fuck it ill just post it here

ASW literally shitted on Bang, its like were back to CT Bang in other words Bang is back to being shit

its a shame these changes were not necessary

The wall bounce no longer existing is weird

Aren't we only on like the first loketest still? It sucks, yeah, but there's a pretty good chance it won't be final. :V

[mAc Chaos]

You guys should take a look at the Haku changes.

[Lucalibur]

I see, with my little eyes, super robot wars fans.

That aside, we know hakumen had it rough too, but ASW is pretty much telling all Bang players they really don't give a damn about us. Sure, we still got relaunch combos but suddenly we can't get any damage on crouching enemies regardless of mid-screen or corner.

It's still the first loketests, but I don't have any faith on the possibility things will get better for us.

But hey, meterless steel rain! Still solid for trolling purposes.

Yo, CT bang was pretty awesome. If any thing I think new bang looks a little worst than CT bang. Because CT bang had pretty high damage from just a j.D 2B 623B daifunka was like 5.2k.

[YukiBlue]

This is a lot worse than CT Bang.

CS1 Rachel tier?

[BangisMyHomeboy]

Bang is Dan tier now.

[iw2ma]

I like how some of us act as though these changes are direct attacks on all those who use Bang.

[zeth07]

it's just a location test....it's just a location test....it's just a location test....it's just a location test....

But really I'm honestly not too worried about it. I've played Bang since CT, so it doesn't really matter how good or bad he is to me at this point.

[huey253]

You guys are bitches...

[DaiAndOh]

I see, with my little eyes, super robot wars fans.

Looking at my name, I would have never guessed!

You guys are bitches...

This. We should be celebrating, Arakune can only do 3-4k in curse mode!

But seriously, first loketest, let's see how it plays out. I wonder if FRKZ got tested...presuming there's a 5k combo in there. Also given the large powerup sequence, I want to use FRKZ activation to be able to see their roll option then use silly oki to land said combo and win the match...NOW I DONT NEED SEALS!

[YukiBlue]

You guys are bitches...

You won't be winning EVO with this bitches changes.
