Overview
Bang Shishigami tries his best
- Mobility: Bang has some of the best mobility in the game with his naturally fast run, two airdashes, guard point teleports, bumper dashes and the obscenely quick and endless 8-way dashes from his titular FRKZ install
- Timer-Scamming: Scummy, but one of bangs main option in this game, with his Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan dashes making him untouchable with his speed
- No Damage: This guy deals basically no damage compared to the rest of the CT cast, struggling to deal any more than 2500 damage from any hit without using Distortions or Rapid.
- Nail Economy: Bang's mixup, setups, neutral coverage and offense are tied to managing 12 nails per round which don't renew at all. While he is not limited to just resources, they are very valuable and without them he loses most of his neutral capabilities, combo potential, and lots of oki.
- Middling Defense: Bang tends to struggle on defense with little to no moves with reliable anti-air potential and his only invincible reversal being relatively slow.
Bang's Drive attacks have a period of guard point frames, unique to each Drive attack. However, none of Bang's drive attacks guard throws, even after Guard Point is triggered. After successfully triggering Guard Point, Bang can input an attack (A/B/C) button to use "Shadowstep Jutsu" to teleport forward at different distances before continuing the attack.
Some of Bang's specials require one or more nails to use, preventing them from being used recklessly:
- Bang starts with 12 nails in stock which only renews in every beginning of a round. This is displayed above his Heat gauge.
- Throwing nails (j.236X), placing bumpers (214X) and summoning his nail rain super (632146D) will all cost a certain amount of nails.
- Specials that require nails will still do the animation even if he has none in stock, however it won't do anything.
- If Bang has less nails than the cost, the special will still be performed but with either fewer nails or less summoning time for the umbrella.

- 11~ Airborne
- knocks down on hit, untechable
6C
- Jump cancellable on connect
- Does not hit on standing Arakune, Bang, Noel, Rachel, and Taokaka
Incredibly slow hopkick that whiffs on all crouchers, and even on some standing characters, even if they're in hitstun. Due to Bang not being able to chain to this from any moves that force the opponent to stand so he can at least abuse the jump cancel on block, it's rarely used outside of combos, however in combos it can be used like ...2B > 6C > j.D
for an extension.
