Guardian Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Some quick notes: -2B is of some use in this match up. It can safely poke from a distance. -You can't compete with Bang air to air without ignis. -Ignis is good at stopping random full screen nails -You have to guess if he corners you, but the same goes for him as well. -If you do punch super out of a string, he can do j.5D and get out for free. Trying to counter this is pretty difficult imo. Ground guardpoints can be grabbed on reaction. Punch super also beats his dash super, as he doesn't pass through ignis. -5A and j.A are super annoying in this match up. Don't try to contend too much with these moves, just get away and re-establish space -Your AA 2C is easily baited by nails and 2x dash. If ignis is out, use 4D instead. -His slide can beat most of your pokes, but it doesn't beat Led Ley. If they're whoring it to get in, led ley and punish. -The shadow unblockable works very well in this match up, as bang can't guard point through a simultaneous hi/low. Match up is difficult, but if you can block him somewhat consistently, it's definitely winnable. 5.5-4.5 Bang imo.
