Uh. Dora.

Just because you did something retarded and it worked doesn't mean you're good :yaaay::yaaay:

Uh, basically, against Ragna, you need reads to 'exploit' most things. If you think he's going to throw Gauntlet, if you IB'ed the last move, you CAN interrupt him with 5B. If you guess wrong you eat shit. High risk, high reward. If you've barriered a bit, IB 5B is actually rather low risk (given perfect spacing), as you should beat either 2D or gauntlet, his primary mix, at full range. However, you can't hit confirm it either. Basically, try to get a feel for your specific opponent's patterns. 2A's hitbox is actually quite awkward.. Given correct spacing, you will low profile ID even after meatying on his wakeup. Takes practice. Then you OS 5B followup since 2A (Whiff) 5B is nothing, 2A (block/hit) 5B is mix or followup.

You don't even know, Huey. That's why you got raped at EVO by a LITERAL DAY 2 BANG

I skimmed very, very lightly, so I apologize if this isn't entirely relevant; 1. Gauntlet hades with meter is his strongest, and kind of only, tool. Block it and let him burn the meter, if you have your own meter block it and post rapid, next possible point counter assault. 2. Without IB, you will never beat Ragna. Don't even consider it. If you really, really suck at IB, you can try using Barrier sporadically, but honestly the only real advice I can give you is get better at IB. Still, use barrier as well. It will help. 3. Bang's AA's are useful, but only to beat out certain spacings. Trying to beat his full spaced jC is suicide (If you see it coming late, jump IB punch him afterwards), trying to beat jB is generally suicide (Same deal for this one, or jump back to avoid it) 4. You can easily stagger against Ragna. If his DP is hitting you every time, you're messing up, bad. You need to add in spots that OS beat his DP, like a 2A meatied on his wakeup with proper spacing. You should never burst Ragna's DP, it's a very low damage starter unless CH AA. I am going to guess that your mix up is too stale, and you aren't using enough move variety, that's why he can easily DP you. Mix it up bro, I guess. Bang has a decent advantage in this matchup.

I don't think you're watching enough videos rei ^_^ Makoto SS sounds very possible, Hazama SS is ridiculous, Tao S is -possible-, but really doubtful. Everything else is kind of right, Platinum is better than you think.

The real sadness of current Bang is almost all tech traps aren't worth it. But if you do see someone habitually mashing on backwards tech, it could work. Wait until they're backwards tech'd out of like 2 or 3 things first, then run your Bnail trap. If he likes holding barrier, 5C is actually one of Bang's strongest mix up points, so just run something like 5C > jumpcancel (jA jB jC > mix)/6B/6A with follow up. Obviously, if you don't see him holding barrier, just pick up a combo. Make sure you're deep enough with your dash and run 5C 623B etc. Again, don't use this more than your read allows. After you do this a couple times (or even once), your opponent, if a strong opponent, will stop teching into it, for sure.

I just want to make sure, I expect to be able to arrive at roughly 1:30 or 2 o clock, will this be okay?

... Wow really? I guess I just trolled myself pretty hard. I don't feel so bad though because it's impossibly impractical off of any set up

Haha.. oh man, when an S tier character gets nerfed, it's so funny seeing people's reaction to non-overpowered tools. 6B was way too good in CS1, the new one looks fine. Also, about 5C RC 6C, you're setting up a theoretically useless fuzzy. 6C is not an overhead, so even if you did manage to "fuzzy" it, you would get a mid hit on block, and your opponent should just calmly think to himself "That was a huge waste of meter and now he has to jump cancel or reset it with Dnails. Cool" Make sure that an idea has a true use, or it is just flashiness for the sake of being flashy.

I wouldn't worry about that, he's been working hard for this. I can understand your eagerness though, it's been too long, kid.

Haha, good to have you back WUT. CS2 looks so fun ^_^

Happy new year ya'll I resolve to remain the best player in America forever

Shoutouts to losing my first GG money match because Honnou told Coopa everything he can do in the matchup Shoutouts to Honnou for a great gathering though despite MM saltiness, had a lot of fun.

Happy new year hazcoast

I think 5C loses to staff hitting you on the way down. But yes, if it doesn't, that's a clear choice.

Is litchi's DP punishable by Tager, if IB'd? Similarly, can Hakumen pick up anything past 3C 3C? (Perhaps 214B 623AA?) Just if you already know it off the top of your head, thanks.

Am I going to body you at next EVO or are you going to run it back on me

His breakfast was not better than mine

I could pick you up o-o I get off work at ~1 or 1:30 PM, you down?

I'll try very, very hard to be there Honnou ^_^

Not saying BB has MORE footsies than other games, but to say it doesn't exist is pretty near sighted ^_^
