...why didn't I see the resemblance before :v
Well, your opponent has to press buttons for it to hit still, don't they? That does sound really easy to confirm though.
I've seen it avoided via jumping by someone that was grounded prior to it being used. The startup is enough that it can be avoided, but it's hard to if you're already doing something. Doesn't look like free damage so much as an incredibly good punishing tool.
Ikaruga is also going to be of importance, so Bang having a key role in CP is likely. Assuming one has yet to be provided and I'm not simply ignorant of the matter, I personally would like an explanation of how Bang obtained his Nox Nyctores and had no idea that it was one until Platinum told him.
There was a Carl player practicing for around 3 training sessions against a Relius dummy. Nothing very exciting, kinda wanted to see how his OD buffs his DDs but nothing like that ever happened. Just basic combo practice.
Um...it's nice that you're sharing this, but...um, do you mind crediting the original author? I linked this to him and he's OK with you sharing it around if someone benefits from it, but crediting him would be nice.
