Bang seems to be at a limbo of being better than CT and CS2 but not as good as CS1 and EX. He kinda falls in the middle. I think the only times Bang actually gets crouching damage is in the corner after a 623B microdash 2A or 2B, and as Zeth said, most times, Bang goes for 5D which guarantees a mix up opportunity similar to the likes of Ragna's 22C pre-CP. Every day I see Bang, his new stuff always suprises me.
