Fun Fact: Bugriser (the character depicted in the chips) is actually an existing character in the Battle Network manga. He's basically the second coming of the Gospel Multibug Organism but unlike Gospel, he actually seems to have a degree of cognizance. He uses both the attacks of his gigas and gets defeated by a manga-exclusive train-based PA. I wish I was making up that last part.
How do you make a PA in a Training? It's supposed to appear from the combination of chips you have in hand, is like I trained to use life sword even when I spend the components already
An even goofier trivia about this the Takamisaki Ryo manga are notorious from writing out several characters. With BN1 being most evident. This is actually joked about in one of the volume closing pages where he joked about making Female counterpart to Protoman BugRise are exactly that in context of the manga, an OC that amusingly leads into rewriting a character from BN6 into the story that they otherwise wont appear in(Chargeman)
The counter to BRS is that a Gregar player will never find it in their fight. The counter to both is to try and shut down their respective crosses for digging through their Folder or having a lot on screen (Dust/Charge). They built their NaviCust around a 1/30, so rush them down and beat them up for being Bug Nerds.
4:44 its importnant to note that tango can change who is host and client in between battles and the only way you can tell by looking at the replay file. iirc Bass in bn5 has a host/client thing in bn5 with one player's bass will only attack the opponent's initial 3x3 area and the other player's bass can attack the entire opponent's area even if the opponent has complete area control
The common telltale sign of a BDT user is at their very first turn they use the Dust Cross so they can dig it out ASAP. usually the match depends on how quickly they can access it, so just in case prepare a Cursor chip to make their Dust Cross gone.
I love how most of this video is about BDT while BRS is basically a footnote lol. I know it isn't a property of the chip, but part of the reason why BDT is so oppressive is because it's Falzar exclusive and thus you can dig for it with Dust Cross. Machine Gun or other Cursor chips to decross help delay that dig. Also, isn't Warp Step bug a good way to deal with BDT?
I will never understand why they gave BRS to Gregar. We already have Slash Cross we didn't need a slightly stronger Slash Cross charge shot that takes over twice as long to charge that also overwrites our gatling buster in Beast Out
funny you should mention slash cross. at ATK5 and CRG5 slash crosses DPS is pretty much the same as BRS. slash is just short of matching BRS in damage output. only upside to BRS in this situation is you don’t have to worry about getting decrossed.
Curious, how long does the paralysis effect lasts for if Bug Death Thunder hits someone? Will it hit an Object if someone is behind one or it goes around it?
the para lasts for 120 frames or 2 seconds, and if you mash buttons while your paralyzed you can tick off 1 frame for each button press. BDT will take the shorted path to you even if there is an object in the way, so you can lead it into objects to take it off the field
