You're right. I'm used to 2B looking much slower. Lol. Or just different. o_o I can't place what about it gave me 5B. Anyway thanks for the correction, I'll edit that in for ease of reference.

2B counter hit combos to Daifunka, seems like the easiest (Maybe highest damage too) way to punish Litchi's Staff DP. reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0HtP34Msd0&feature=related#t=5m33s

Wow, interesting point. Does it knock down on fatal counter, or stagger?

Naturally.. They must have really hyped jB's hitstun if you can wait to confirm it hitting to jD o:

That was true on counter hit, IIRC. The general problem with that is unless you catch them with it really close to you the jD will whiff (I imagine), and the only way to know they won't block it so you won't get killed for hitting them on block with it is if you see them forward dash, realistically, which means they're too far. While it's good ideally, it seems a bit impractical. If you can get it to work consistently and you have an answer for them blocking it, more power to you and I eagerly await your solution.

I'd say at that point why not j4C jC, As much as possible we want to drop those habitual jBs for the more powerful counterpart we now have. :v

Haha. Looking forward to the results when you get the chance. Top three things on my mind are.. Air Grab > Steel Rain, useful? Steel Rain > Daifunka glitch out 4 Seal combo w/o nails Bang's looking so scary. ... Hmm, another thought. If your steel rain happens to catch them in the air, can you grab them to reset them into damage Carl style, or at least into block so you get the free command grab? o_O So many questions lol

Bang already had a 2.8k BnB, but getting 2 seals from it was certainly not the case, and this one looks really easy too. o: If you dropped the two jBs and went straight to j4C 623B, would you get knockdown and only lose 300ish damage?

IIRC, some or all of Bang's guardpoints got a buffed guard time, so couple that with them being faster and it would only make sense that they are indeed safer. :] I'd still say they're certainly punishable, and with Bang being a real character now people will put more time into learning how. :/

Not to mention that you have a ton more time to register it hit. :d Has anyone tried off a regular grab, Grab > whiff A/B nail > Daifunka? If it works I imagine it does some awesome damage, might as well play around with that wall bounce.

If someone could test air grab to steel rain.. o: Then again, the chances of air grab to steel rain being worth using even if it DID work is low, since air grab daifunka is 5k and doesn't use your nails. On second look, I think it was 4.4k. I wish the numbers didn't get so blurry through the ending animations.

Only on block, LAMG. ^_^

Considering 2B's longer hitstun, there's a vague possibility that 2D jD 2B 5D j623B 2b 5D would work.. It all depends on how fast 5D is now and the untech times on 2B, but if you can get the first 2B 5D I think the second would be guaranteed. Also; that airgrab daifunka was almost 5K, if I saw correctly.

Good point, hadn't thought that through. You're very right. 10Stars, do you know if the old steel rain to daifunka trick still glitches it out for a huge damage ending?

Considering everyone has a harder time getting damage now, if you really could confirm 5C Daifunka that would be pretty savage in the scheme of things.. But less people will just eat 5C now that it takes longer. :/ How bad does 5C 2C 623B Daifunka prorate compared to just the 5C? I'd imagine you lose 500 to 1000? Also, thanks for the clarification about the guard break, shame B nails dont break anymore.

Guys, just a thought, since steel rain apparently works quite well in comparison to CT, what do you guys think of instead of going around your opponent's block (high/low mix), going through it with 6D 623B, 6D 623B? If it didn't break their guard they'd be at 1 or 2, or they are Tager, and by the time you land the second 623B I'm imagining steel rain is over (or you forgot nails exist, lol). Just a thought.. Bang has so much shield break potential

I feel like this has to be a typo, it's listed that 236B breaks a primer? Meaning B nail breaks a primer? Would make more sense if it was intended to be 623B. :d

oh snap

You're blowing this way out of proportion. Calm down.

You sure you can take it? He knocked you out at CUT after all. ;d

I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm saying don't knock Mikey. Lol. To make a hangout a tournament all you need is to collect money for the pot and add a bracket. :o I'm certainly exaggerating, but the basic point stands that the standard for tournaments is to do them for the community rather for the host. *shrug* What happens at your tournament is up to you, but at the end of the day it's nothing without the community behind it.
