Bang Shishigami

==Overview==
A Ninja-turned-super-hero, Bang has dedicated his life to exterminating evil and overturning injustice wherever he goes. He fights with his fists, and by throwing nails with special properties. He also carries a giant nail around on his back, which is used in his Astral Finish. 
Bang is extremely mobile, with both a double air dash and a double jump (although he can only use one extra dash or one extra jump at a time). He can also hang nails in the air and dash off of them in any of eight directions. This is a "free" dash and does not otherwise count towards his limit.
In addition to being extremely mobile, Bang is very tough. He has 12000 health, the second most in the game (after Tager, who has 13000). Finally, he has a stock of 12 nails he can use as projectiles during the course of each round (see his move list, below, for specifics).
Bang's weaknesses are two-fold: his combos generally do little damage compared to other members of the cast, and his normals are generally lacking in both range and priority. These weaknesses make him fairly hard to play. However, the low damage of his combos is mitigated by an excellent pressure game, and his weak normals are boosted by his excellent mobility. And of course, his trump card: a Burning Heart that never gives in to evil, and a fiery dedication to his own brand of justice!
== Movelist ==
== Basic Strategy ==
Bang is a pure rush-down character who lives and dies on his mixup. Getting in close can be hard, but he is extremely mobile and fairly tough, both of which give you some lee-way. His combos can all be ended with a reset back into his pressure game, which is very difficult to escape. The trick, of course, is getting in to set it up in the first place.
When you hit the opponent with j.C close to the ground, they are slammed down into the ground, and any tech attempt becomes a neutral tech. This leaves them right next to Bang, and gives him the option of high, low, or throw as they recover (see FOLLOW UPS, below). Each of these options leads into a juggle into low j.C, which resets the whole situation, and gives him another chance at a FOLLOW UP combo. Bang can continue this pressure game until they either guess right or are dead.
But even if they block correctly, Bang is not out of options. By jump cancelling into instant-air drive nails (2369D), Bang can keep the opponent locked down and the pressure on. After the nails, Bang can dash back in and link 5A-5B-2B. This entire string combos, including the nails (there is no gap!), which means the opponent must Dead Angle or Instant Block if they want to escape. If you hit with any of it, you can go into combo. If it's all blocked, you can cancel back into nails again, or go for a crossup. Alternately, you can go for another high, low, or throw guessing game instead.
== Combos ==
Some of the combos below can be extended by using a double jump for slightly more damage. However, it is not generally a good idea to do so. You want to hit with j.C low to the ground, so the opponent is forced to neutral tech from the ground slam.
=== BREAD AND BUTTER ===
The combos in this section all start with 2A-5B-2B. This can be hit confirmed; either follow through with the combo (if it hits), or cancel into 2369D -> dash back in to keep the pressure on (if they blocked).
