There are two matches. The first is a Bang vs Lamda and the second is a great Bang mirror match. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9202506 Bang vs Litchi, Bang vs Hazama http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9201845

I can see it now though. "OMG I actually lost to Rachel." I will probably pick her up for that reaction of the opponent.

I haven't played the game but that sounds like a decent strategy actually since she can still jump pretty far with wind. She can put pole in ground for defensive. You have the nerfed pumpkins which are still useful to keep the opponent back. Plus you have nerf froggy which I guess is better than nothing. Defensive Rachel is not a bad idea. I don't think she does enough damage for offensive Rachel. Or is it that she can't do enough guaranteed damage like the frog combo in CT. Although I think someone who can cover distances fast would ruin that idea tho. For example, Bang or maybe Hazama. Be careful of that and good luck.

Compared to other characters he is slow but quite powerful as usual.

well I main both characters. Litchi has to space Bang out with her long pokes. For example, standing B, Jumping C, Crouching C(anti-air). and then lead those attacks into combos. I've played both side of the coins here. As a Bang player, Bang are going to try to rush you down. Sure you have to Tsubame move but it is relatively unsafe and a smart Bang player is gonna bait it by blocking up close at times. litchi player has to keep Bang out. Spacing is absolutely critical in this game but for this match-up, it is very critical. Otherwise the Litchi player will fold because of the up close pressure of Bang. Generally, you want your staff in your hands for her long range attack. Also it is good advice to not burst at certain times as Bang drive can easily counter it. In CS, keep away becomes more critical as Bang is faster, safer, and stronger. On the other end, Litchi is strong as well.

It would be crazy to see a Pro Rachel player in CS. That would be very interesting. I like that Idea.

Tsubaki vs Tager is an interesting Match-up. Tager is very slow so Tsubaki can have more charges. I saw a vid of it and it seems to be very interesting. The problem is Tsubaki vs Ragna, Bang. I haven't played the game but my initiate approach would be to spam her with safe pressure strings and not allow her to charge. This limits her damage and she cannot do that much damage with out charges from what I see. I am saying this because Tsubaki players will probably need to find means to deal with this problem From the vids I saw, I feel that she needs a big or bigger knockdown move so she can charge more.

I appreciate this. Also most people just call me "polo" You call me whatever though. Also i think Bang can challenge Litchi the most. She has got an reach advantage though so I would say it is in her favor. Tourney vids of BB:CS are gonna be very interesting as the game seems more balanced than CT. Except in this game, you have to exclude Rachel unfortunately for a more balanced game.

Ironically for me I mained Litchi and Bang the first day I played the game. I liked Bang because of his pressure game and FRZ. I didnt care if he was low tier, but I just love playing him and I actually got better with him. I like Litchi because of her corner traps and constantly applying pressure. Her pole may her and interesting character.They will probably be more Bang player as he is easier to pick her than Litchi. But I mean most will just stick to who they had.

I heard the block stun of pumpkin got nerfed which is bad. This hurts her zoning game.

I think Litchi will reach top to high tier. I generally like to make guesses even tho it is way to early. I like to take a stab at it. She got some buffs from what I see. Compared to the other characters, she actually goes up. If you were to put Litchi CS in CT. Should would probably barely reach high tier as rachel, arakune, and Nu are hard to overcome. Especially Arakune and Nu. But since all 3 got nerfed a bit(well with rachel they did overdo it.). She has a tendency to rise quite high and compete better with the previous top tiers. Also her Oki game is still very good but it seems in this game her Oki game is more magnified in CS as oppose to CT. I think it is because some other characters do not have a similiar type of overpowered moves. It is basically is like that she keeps her good options and most of her moves while some other characters got their options removed. Ragna and Bang seems kinda same as Litchi in this sense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wlirT7Ma4U If the Litchi player can apply pressure and space her attacks well then she can become quite dangerous. This factor is more apparent if you make this same comparison with Bang. If Bang CS was in CT, he would rise but he wouldn't rise that much. He would move to mid-mid probably. But in this game he rises as well as he is more buffed and he stands a good chance against the other characters who some got nerfed. A good example would be Bang vs Rachel in CT and Bang vs Rachel in CS. Vast different match-ups. These are only my opinions though from vids though. I just posting this here for fun I suppose. I hope i can find a good Tsubaki vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QhkQDJ6z9s I post it here too. That is some bs. They need to fix that badly. I don't play Rachel but that is pretty bad. I wonder what other combos can be put on Rachel. If what I saw was true. She indeed may be truely bottom in the end unfortunately.
