Generally curious here. If you were to change something about F.A.N.G and/or the game what would it be?

Delete him or bring out Juri.
yeah sorry but the fact your matches last 20-30 seconds probably have more to do with you whining like a bitch instead of hitting the lab. Just an observation since all the other fangs I see at cpt events seem to be doing better than 0-2 in 45 seconds.
FANG isn't a bad character. He was my main before Guile came out and i did well with him in ranked. Buyacushun's FANG is really good he was doing sick mixup's setups that were kicking my ass.
FANG is pretty bad. At least by context. He's got some things, but they're either gimmicky or things that other characters might do better. He also gets mollywhopped by the throw game, much moreso than any other character.
I'd love to play some with ya (im super bronze atm). Some of these guys have been wiping the floor with me lol.
The throwing system in this game is a bitch for me in general but it did seem way harder with FANG than with Guile now that i think about it.
Did you play a bot?
Lmao probably.
Sweet, add me on CFN=Vinager
I would be surprised if he had an actual answer for this. Because that would mean he could actually concentrate hard enough to put thought into a post about a fighting game.
F.A.N.G. Pretty low tier. He needs some slight buffs and imo fixes (like only the first hit of sweep hitting). He's isn't so bad he can't win but it would take some crazy buffs to make him top 5.
What does Birdie do that bodies Zangief? I personally don't find Zangief particularly easy at all. Mid screen, can't Zangief can just smack Birdie with a normal (st hp?) on reaction if Birdie tries to v skill? V skill is quite unsafe, at 50-60 frames of startup plus recovery. And Zangiefs knockdown game seems super dangerous given Birdies lack of invincible wake ups. Birdie also doesn't have a 3 frame normal or great low profiling tools. V skill can be a problem if Birdie manages to get away from Zangief and set it up from full screen, but from mid screen it's quite unsafe and I feel like a good Zangief can keep the pressure on pretty well and prevent Birdie from getting enough space to safely v skill. Birdies slow back walk speed and lack of projectiles means he has one of the toughest times maintaining distance from Zangief.
Couple buddies and myself started a Discord server after i posted a thread on Reddit "Looking for Sparring Partners" and I got about 15-20 replies. (didn't expect that many)
When I get my new internet I'll definitely be up for it!
Have you ever played the matchup from either characters perspective?
Play keep away and throw out the banana. That banana is a massive deal for Gief as he can't jump over it from most angles without landing on it and can't v skill it. Throw out the banana, then chains and pokes. Keep him out. If he gets in, v reversal or ex bull horn, push him away and keep him out again. If you're getting hit out of v skill by s.hp, you're too close. Learn the range and stay outside of it. The armour is only upper body, so throwing out banana (or the can if you're so inclined) will stuff a charging s.hp.
I'll try it more but I'm very skeptical of this banana abuse advice. I'm super gold by the way (CFN: paultheoctopus06). While I'm not amazing by any means, I think I do understand the game decently. I have found that Birdies v skill bodies scrubs, as they let me get it out a lot more than they should and then they jump on top of it / get hit for no reason. However, better players know it's a 50 frame startup and many characters can punish on reaction. They also know some can setups are gimmicks and they wait out the banana. I honestly can't think of any matchups where I can repeatedly abuse Birdies v skill.
You may already know this but you can fake out the VSkill attempts by using your normal throw, it looks similar and since the Gief will be looking for the Skill, you can bait out an attack or jump.
@Braindead If you were not mixing up your frame trap timings to match your opponents tech timings chances are this is why he was able to tech all your stuff. Because you can tech whilst blocking and with a 5 frame start up and 7 frame tech window you can tech and potentially block at the same time.
Nothing, I'm all out of anything to do with this game
Huh, neat. I was expecting maybe a faster jab for Fang or something - I'm a little surprised.
