Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Franco Bash

Gameplay Overview

Franco Bash is a brawler, he wants to get in and beat you to a pulp. Thanks to his long range and kara cancellable 5BC Barom Punch, he doesn't struggle to move into his effective range and can even circumvent certain Breakshots trying to beat his approach. Once he's in, he can absolutely delete his opponent with the right combo provided he has the resources for it. His mixup tends to be predictable thanks to the long windup on his overheads that are already locked behind his chain combos, but his game is bulldogging and he's very good at it.

Pros	Cons
Extensive list of chain combo options Huge combo damage, including double stun sequences with Armageddon Buster Combination of long reach and safe approaches	Options to escape pressure are all some sort of costly or plain unsafe Longer reaching attacks are on the slower side Underwhelming anti-air
