    Social The Gates of Hell: Bayonetta Social Thread

    2018 is the year to reinvent the image of Bayo mains like myself. I propose that our new theme should be "Awaken, My Masters!" or just "Awaken" from JJBA Battle Tendency. This way we can be both stylish AND manly!

    Guide A Beginner's Guide to Playing Bayonetta

    Good guide, yet this in particular is untrue. You're thinking of our regular airdodge, if you get hit during the startup of Witch Time you just get hit, no bats to save us there. BW for frames 1-4 is on our airdodge, not witch time.

    Dealing with Marth

    Sorry for not seeing this sooner, but Marth's offensive game shouldn't be super scary, it's his defense that's impeccable, which is why camping and maintaining a lead is important. If he's the one approaching, make him commit first and try and do the whole punishing thing. I won't say it's easy...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Well please God tell us bayo's, because I have no idea what you're talking about. She has minimal moves that lock without a terrible missed tech, poor consequences if she fails, and often not enough mobility or setups to get the lock in the first place. That one Mistake did to Larry the other...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Characters with effective camping games can give bayo trouble, as do those with superior defense, like Rosa. While they might not be losing per se, they're much closer. Tink for example does really well. Outcamps her, has superior mobility, and kills more easily. His poor grab can sometimes...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Zack's the major one that loses to Mac. It's relatively easy for bayo but getting an opening can be rough, and she can't jump too much at kill% cuz usmash is stupid strong, while Mac is hard to whiff punish. Still, he gets comboed harder than basically all but DK and bayo's edgeguarding is so...

    [Guide/SDI] Dealing with Bayonetta's combo specials.

    Nice guide, but I would mention one thing. The last hitbox of ABK has fixed knockback that will combo at any% including death. This means that it's imperative to avoid that one in particular.

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Thank you for the convincing and reasonable reply. There's a reason I didn't include Ness in the original, and it's because I feel his poor mobility with few outstanding options besides the regular ones doesn't give him the edge. Yes, you do have to respect witch time in one facet or another...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Mario actually has a grab game, and his quicker startup gives him superior mixups, with more guessing having to be done to not get grabbed and take 70% or get usmashed and die. Bayonetta has a superior punish game and longer limbs, but those don't equate to the same thing. Luigi is much the...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    I'm curious as to why he says Marth. The rest I understand to some extent, although I disagree, but Marth has a somewhat poor DA state and is forced to approach, not to mention his recovery is in fact exploitable.

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Yeah I wasn't too sure about those ones, that's why I put possible next to them. Sorry for possibly misleading. To stay on topic, it feels like people would rather pick up bayo than learn how to fight her, which is funny because she's actually kind of hard, who'da thunk. In the simplest terms...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Salem is really good, and while I won't say that bayo's neutral is bad (any character who can grab can win neutral), you're right to be skeptical at "top tier" neutral. Characters with a better neutral than bayo (at least IMO): Mario Possibly Luigi Rosa Diddy Sheik Tink Samus Possibly ZSS...

    I have an idea for Bayonetta...

    I lost it at "good neutral" Also so what if the #11 player beat the #1, this tournament was full of **** like this, even inside the top 8. You see, even if you were even remotely right (you're not, I could spend a good half hour pointing out what's wrong), if we nerf her to not make her the best...

    What would a doubles tier list looks like?

    At the risk of this being considered a necro, I think Ike is honestly top tier or close to it for dubs. His helicopter uair is such a consistent team kill option, being gigantic and powerful, easy team combo kill bait. Besides that he's got good throws and attacks for team combos, and his lack...

    Q&A Bayonetta Technique Compendium and Q&A

    Neutral b beats hadouken and catches far jumps. Any other BA can hit him while he's in the air if you're diligent. Don't be so blindingly obvious as to whiff right in front of his face or land obviously for the utilt. Abuse focus beating moves (wtw, BA nair, BA uair, fair, grab) and anti air him...
