Bang maybe? He still retains his good mix-up and speed from cs1 but they have made his risk-reward much fairer. He doesn't get much midscreen, but he still shines in the corner .

Just counterpick Bang with Bang; they'll never expect that one!

I request a manly picture of the one and only bang. Didn't realise you drew, let alone this well, keep up the awesome work!

Jourdal just posted an announcement from aksys confirming the bbcs2 patch release date as some time in may for north America I believe. Check the bbcs news thread for more detail. Hopefully Europe will follow suit

What are your thoughts on the CS2 Tsubaki matchup then? I think we may still have a slight advantage at best.

This guy knows what's up. Actually, wait, I have to actually try now? Fuck all you guys, i'm switching to Makoto

Front page and the bbcs news thread, sorry I'm relatively new to this site so i don't quite know how to link posts or quote stuff. But it's there.

BBCS2 out for consoles in Japan in May. Get hype Bang mains.

I don't know if this has been posted already, but the european Game website has announced a release date for CS2 on PSP in Europe, and has given a vague release time for the 3DS. PSP:http://www.game.co.uk/PSP/BlazBlue-Continuum-Shift/~r354294/?s=BlazBlue+Continuum+Shift 3DS:http://www.game.co.uk/Nintendo-3DS/BlazBlue-Continuum-Shift-3DS/~r354291/?s=BlazBlue+Continuum+Shift

My life is complete, I just managed to Gold Burst>Astral. It's the simple things...

Too be honest, everyone in CS2 seems like a decent to good character, even the 'top tiers' Makoto or Hazama lose a lot more in CS2 than say, Bang and Litchi did in CS (at least from what I saw). Personally, I think the reason why people are thinking that Bang isn't that good anymore is because they're using his ridiculous CS iteration as a comparison; which obviously makes his CS2 self seem pretty bad.

Major congrats Huey, you lucky dog. Represent all your Bang brothers here on the Road *pumps fists*

Does Bang seem to have any decent follow-ups to his command grab midscreen, or is all his meter best saved for the corner?

I'm just glad that he hasn't truly gone back to his CT level, I kind of enjoy some safe pressure. (and decent damage)

Do Bang's 623b and j.623b wall-bound or is it just a small wallbounce? Thanks in advance

Yeah, I think they may have overdone the proration on 5a and j.d a bit much, but with the right starters, he still gets respectable damage. Not to mention his corner carry is pretty good with the (5a)>5B>2B>6C>air dash>j.4C>j.623B combo.

Welp, that gives me an incentive to get off my arse and learn some proper j4c FRKZ loops. Bang is looking so sweet, didn't realise he would develop THIS much.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zCn2p1ld2U Around 8:56 5c, 5d, TK Dnails, 5b, 5d confirmed. Awesome.

XBL: Chazmobile12 Location: London, England Skill level: Quite good, still working out the kinks on FRKZ. But I hate mirrors, so i'll probably use Lambda.

Wow, 5b, 2b, 6c, airdash, j4c, j623b, land, 5c, 6d, 623b> combo ender looks sooo damn cool.

Have any high damage 5c fatal combos been found out yet? Because it seems like it isn't all to useful as of late.

Combine the + frames from 5b and the instant block nerf, Bang's new pressure game seems like it'll be really sound once it gets properly figured out. Also, I think that Arcsys are trying to force us to be much more conservative when using nails to continue pressure now. By adding the 2b 5b gatling, like Dacid said, we might be able to use the forward momentum from the 2b to make up for the pushback on his normals now; and then mix up from 5b. Edit: also isn't 6a jump canceleable on block? Add that to its buffed speed and we have some quite nice options there as well.

In regards to the pushback Bang's normals have now, the buffed recovery on 5a will come in very handy if you want stagger/dash back in to continue the blockstring, you might even catch people mashing. I'm still confused as to why many people haven't been using 2b 5b much yet though.

Wow, good spot, that's pretty insane. Even more incentive for 5a mashing. Apart from, y'know, the proration
