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

Doesn't really do its job of faking the opponent out, but it's very fast and opens up good combos/frame advantage.
