Here is the netplay thread for PSN where you can go and find matches: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?13570-PSN-Match-Finder-Good-Games-Thread-v5

Here is the Bang thread: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?69-Bang-Shishigami for help with getting better with Bang specifically.

Here is the Makoto thread: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?149-Makoto-Nanaya for help with getting better with Makoto.

Here is our thread for Beginners: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?100-Beginner-Mode where you find and ask basic questions about hit confirming and punishing, although the Bang thread would be better suited if you wanted specific answers rather than general.

Thanks. I knew there had to be a netplay thread somewhere, but I obviously didn't look hard enough.

I knew about the character threads of course, but most of the combos/information are too advanced for me to do atm.

You should probably read the terminology guide in the Beginner mode thread since it'll show you how to read combos and stick to the challenge mode combos since they are probably the easiest for you until you feel like leveling up.

Hey there!

Don't be discouraged by unlimited Hazama, he is a bitch, and defeating him or not won't really tell much about your skill in the actual game.

I haven't seem Bang's challenges yet, but overall I think you're good on the combo department for your skill level. What you seem to lack is pure practice, and that should come with time and losses, I'm sure the Bang section guys will help you speed that up though.

I can't help you with Bang specifics, but I'll try with generics:

A: Save a lot of replays, watch with special attention to the times you tried to approach your enemies, try to figure out where they got you and try to learn from there.

B: Closer range characters like Bang and Makoto tend to rely on quick dashes before their pokes, check if you're doing that

C: Learn to defend and throw-tech as well, defense is something I found out to be much harder on BB than most other fighting games. You'll spend a lot of time eating mix-ups until you're decent with this.

I suggest you also step away from Makoto from now unless you're really interested in maining her. You seem to have a problem with spacing and Makoto requires a lot of skill on that department due to her huge lack of range.
