Gonna update the OP some more later with new stuff and some new combos.
DOA5 Bass General Discussion and Why He's So Damn Strong
- Thread starter UncleKitchener
- Start date
OP updated. Some new things for you guys to check out since the update fixed a few things with some of his untechable knock downs.
Fixed or messed up?
They're definitely fixed, but some of the pick-ups are a little more difficult now (well, that's how it feels to me).
I actually wanted to add damage to all combos, but I thought against it because I wanted people to test things out for themselves. If you want me to put in the damage as well, I won't mind.
I'd say that the timing is a lot like his AA pick-up, especially for longer combos (like his
> > ender).

All the cool new stuff is in this thread now.

Guys, I want to see more fuzzy guarding in future videos.You always need to fuzzy guard with Bass.
Bonus points if you fuzzy > neutral throw.

Found something while messing around in practice mode today:
** > GB! > > (L, M) (DMG 49)
I'm spending too much time with this character.

Yeah, but I didn't know the guard stun also counts as a critical stun, which allows for the 9pkp follow-up after the 8k launch.
evading a string which has a jumping attackThis is something which I've touched on a bit in the throw punish thread, but I finally found some footage of it
I'll be making a new thread a little before the game is out and by then we should hopefully have enough info about him to make something small. From what I've heard though, he hasn't changed much, so it's safe to say that he's very much like he is right now.
Here's hoping they've given him at least a little buff. I don't think I'm being unreasonable, am I?
Not at all, actually. There are certain cases where I just switch character because I just get tired of guessing.
And according to a certain tier list, he has a lot of trouble against certain characters and you have to be pretty much playing against someone who's not familiar with Bass (but then again every person playing this game knows about his obvious weaknesses). Even then they can follow a spreadsheet and unless you override their programming, you're not gonna get anywhere. You absolutely need to know advanced tools like fuzzying, stagger escaping and abuse your crushes and set-ups.
He's a great challenge as long as you are patient and you have the energy for it.

For me, I'm a cross between being too old and too stubborn to want to figure out all of the characteristics of another fighter. Heh.
I don't pay attention to tier lists, never really have, as I always stand by the premise that you can win with any character (which would explain why I also main Dan in SF, but I digress). I just see the slight changes to other characters, and it makes me wonder if Bass will get anything to help him. I'm not looking for nerfs for other characters, just a little something special for Mr. Strong.

I was doing some training with Bass and I just notice that his PPK combo left him in -6 when it hits the opponent but in the other side, it gives +2 on guard, WTF?
Yeah, some hit on NH like most characters or are negative on hit. These hits only matter on CH or HCH. Also, the recovery on is a lot, but on the other hand the kick itself does a lot of damage. Most people tend to get hit on the CH mainly because they think you're going to do or since he's jab punishable after the second hit of those strings.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but on the circus stage, if you get a CB near the bouncy balls/chests, you can step a little to the side to get at an angle with the opponent and the wall, use > > > This combo can work on normal walls, too, so long as you don't use the CB. It's far easier to pull off on the bouncy wall, but it works just fine elsewhere if you can work the angle. It also helps if you and your opponent are a certain distance away from the wall. In that situation, the will never hit them into the wall, so the angle becomes irrelevant.
