Oh god Big Bands smaller attacks just crack me up. Big lumbering music man and he whips out a little bike horn to hit you. XD
Big band has a king dedede costume
Me: *deals high damage to opponent*
*finishes with horn*
The Bookieman or he whips out his BBC ( big black clarinet)
Trapping you in a bell.
@@thatoneguy4273 Then styling on you with a trumpet
Best character design I've seen in a long time in a fighting game tbh.
True dat
So true.
You have the chance to call it "A Big Band Bassics Guide" and you didn't.
Or "Getting down to Brass tacks"
This comment genuinely makes me wanna cry
@@Scrawny2chonky its 6 years old comment, what can u expect
I love how Skullgirls' dev just made all the characters OP rather than nerfing them
all the characters having tools and freeform combos is what makes skullgirls fun
Indeed
It's balanced because _everyone_ is OP
Indeed
Why nerf them when we can just buff all of them
I just realize that Big Band has a King Dedede skin.
DeJorgiK Even when DEDEDE isn't in the game he is awesome character
And a jotaro kujo skin.
And a DIO skin
@@bujintakemikazuchiryujin5219 that's for Eliza tho
Also jotaro
Pros
High damage output
Variety of defensive tools
Long range pokes and mixups
Excellent Assist options
*Best BM taunts*
I might just get this game only for this character's sake. I have no idea what to expect though.
Its a team-based fighting game similar to the Marvel vs. Capcom series but with a 1930's aesthetic, fantasy elements, and a weird sense of humor.
And I recently realized his real name is Birdland, as in the song by one of the most influential jazz bands ever
If I do get this game I'm absolutely maining Big Band
edit: I bought the game and I main Big Band
@@bcndooz3294 update? Did you quit? Or did you become the no life skullgirls player?
@@blank-3403 I actually haven't played in a while
The use of Strum's Theme and the Black Hole Super Power was a phenomenal touch, especially given the contrast between his look and Big Band's. Makes me happy that those games haven't been forgotten.
Thank MikeZ and the rest of the Skullgirls team for including the Sturm color palette! The first time I saw it I knew I had to find a way to fit it into one of my videos. Sturm's theme is one of my favorites.
Absolutely incredible guide. After you used the Dedede and Q themes for their palettes I was like "Ohhh man he better use Sturm's theme" and you didn't disappoint.
And now,we are getting something new from intelligent system,well...new
TUBATUBATUBATUBATUBATUBA...TUUUBAAAAA!!!
OmniDude90 is that a motherfucking JoJo reference?
yes yes is its
Guido Mista says mista lmao
What should be his stand name
@@noname-mr4xu gully low blues, one of louie armstromg's compositions
A little thing you forgot to mention with big band's level 5 super, it uses up the wall bounce and can easily combo into an even more devastating combo to easily 1combo ko opponents ;P
And you can play evangelion theme
Hey, how to use take the "A" faster? Cause i can't keep the combo while attempting to do this move.
@@asteroise7469 Keep pressing back while you do the part before that special
@@Motemeii tyty, I probably got it after some practice 🤣
If you can use his bagpipes thing right before the 12 hit combo shown at 13:00, you can turn that 12 hit combo that does 6k damage into a 25 hit combo that does about 7.5k.
VERY clever use of tracks, and a very nice Big Band vid. Thanks for the info and combo ideas.
The timesplitters one is great i love that game
So much better than most of the guides I've seen so far, because I want info on the decision making behind using each move, and worry about putting combos together later when I can play some neutral.
Also liked seeing the moves you showcased being used in the examples/demo scenarios as the video went on.
9:28 wait wat? he looks lie sturm and then the sturm themen comes. thats just awesome
and at 11:18 the super power themen appears. you are so awesome
LOL he also put El Gato's theme from Chrono Trigger when he was in his palette.
he have ora ora at end
Very helpful video! I knew a lot of this but the combos were new to me. Also, i love how the music changes accordingly with the palletes!
That was my favorite part too. Heh
I don’t even play Skullgirls but Big Band is so amazing a character I had to watch this.
You forgot to mention his most powerful move is inspired by Jojo's bizzare adventure
The ORA ORA punch rush, or MUDA MUDA?
@@ThroneOfSalt MUDA MUDA it is.
Nobody cares.
TUBA TUBA
@@TheSonic497 I mean, it's nice to have it
Did anyone else find Zone-tan in this video? I did and my day is complete.
Thotting around as usual
Fun fact, zone-tan is one of the game's animators
Yessir, squigly actually has the zone-tan skin
Great video. I'm new to fighting games in general and I decided to pick Big Band to main because his design looked awesome to me, I have some problems with pulling off/remembering the special moves, but this video still helps
His design looks insanely cool
Thanks, this helps out a bunch. Big Band is definitely my favorite fighter and I want to get good at him. This helped to explain his moves in more detail than his actual tutorial section. Now I just have to get used to using bagpipe blues and practice combos.
QcbHK, ground or air, it doesnt matter, just keep doing that and you win eventually
I just noticed the van in the back jiggles a little with every heavy hit or landing. Neat.
I've watched two seconds of the video and OH MY GOD TIMESPLITTERS NOSTALGIA
Honestly, this is the best Big Band guide I've come across yet. All of the explanations of soundstuns on moves and why things are safe or unsafe were great. Thanks!
And now i see why you played Dedede's theme. (Palette looks like Dedede)
And now i see why you played Q's theme (Palette looks like red Q)
And now i see why you played Sturm's theme (Looks like Sturm)
And now i see why you played Gato's theme (Are you kidding me? he even has a Famicom skin?)
Why don't i have this game yet.
+Nigel Joshua Orbe Cause you don't have the game yet. What other reason is there?
+Nigel Joshua Orbe Big Band also has Big the Cat, Robocop, and a Big O reference pallette as well. Every character has references to shows and stuff in their color palletes. Get this game if you like great animation and a VERY easy to learn, hard to master game
@Kyle Beguhl I think that was a rhetorical question 🤧
Dude if you like Street Fighter or Marvel Vs Capcom, get this game asap. It’s awesome.
@Spectator of TH-cam of course you unlock the jotaro skin by using the attack inspired by MUDA MUDA
Very convenient how they reference the fact squigly and Ben know eachother by the poster for her alone
The Advance Wars 2 music put a smile on my face when I made the connection to the skin.
Gratitude to you, Jason.
King Dedede for life.
Thanks for allowing my Dedede to shine even brighter than ever before..
Concise and useful, will be coming back for additional views.
this character was literally made for me, huge jazz lover (my nick says it all), used to main Q in street fighter, love a lot of neutral based characters, character is full of jazz references, so cool
I just found this video but I appreciate every thing in it, especially the use of Sturms theme. Thank you for that alone but love the video as a whole none-the-less!
Dang, he has so many nuances, spent a bunch of time messing with BB and still learned a bunch of new stuff. Great guide!
This is possibly my fav. Character in all of SkullGirls. I needed this guide
the musics are a treat to go with this
This is great! I love Big Band!
As a total fighting game noob, I greatly appreciate the guide!
i love how gatos theme started playing when you switched to his red + grey color theme at 12:06.
Finally decided to actually learn the game, thanks for such a detailed guide. Big Band is my favorite character and feel like this will be a big help.
That Dedede pallette plus music. Made my morning.
Skullgirls is my first fighting game I ever played and this tutorial really helped me figuring out the right use of best boi giant tuba man here :3 Managed to get Filia down to 7817 from 15500 HP with the combo at 13:54. Best and hardest combo I did so far, slowly but surely getting better at this game.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. It is great help for me and I assume many many other people as well.
Thank you for making this wonderful guide on Big Band.
I love that he actually put Dedede's theme over the skin
When he's near, dont expect to block everything
i like how he played the kirby king dee de fight as he shows that skin
I came expecting a guide on big band jazz through the lens of skullgirls and I now realize that I have been jebaited...
I have no clue why I am watching this. It is currently 4:45 AM and I have two tests tomorrow and homework to do. I don't even own this game. I don't even play fighting games
But I might get into it because I love this character
I'm returning to this game with my personal fine toothed comb. His Take the A train HK has 3 hits of armour. It's handy for when use the Emergency Brake to get in safely. His lv5 breaks armour except Sehkmet.
I just realized, when you used Take the A-train as an assist Squigly was like "Dammit Ben I had him"
Oh god you have all the references on point even a tune from Advance Wars when you had the Sturm skin on
This is the perfect basic guide i have watched i couldn't stop watching the music the pictures and length so yummy information hmmmmmm GOOD JOB
I know that you can combo a raw Super Sonic Jazz into a Strike Up The Band, into I'm pretty sure another Super Sonic Jazz, which does a ton of damage
Love III'rd strike themes detail. Thanks, i'm starting to play Sullgirls and i love Big Band
here in 2020 learning this game for the first time thanks for this =)
this tutorial helped me more then the in-game tutorial. thanks!
Awesome guide.
A great asset to have while learning new characters. Thanks for the vid! Out of curiosity, will you be making more for the other characters?
Maybe, but the other characters I play have had some pretty good guides written for them already but I certainly plan to make more tutorial content.
Very cool Big Band video
Best Big Band guide out there thank you so much!
This guide is amazing, by chance could you do one for valentine or ms.fortune? I can't find any guides nearly as impressive as this one for them and I wanted to run a team of three with them. At the very least you've improved my big band a ton thanks
Sorry, I don't play either of those characters.
Jason Slade
Hmm that's unfortunate, by chance do you know anyone who does who might have some videos up or something?
Thomas Robinson Try Skullheart.com that tends to be where the community posts their guides.
Excellently done. Information was presented clearly and was useful.
Thanks for the video. Really want to use big band and this helps a lot.
Time 12:03
Ali: That Sachmo Death Blow move is hitting so fast that I may slow to counted around 150 Punches not 21.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear Advanced Wars music in this video
am I the only one who loves the squigly art at the end?
I love big band (especially the amazing King Dedede skin) and most of his moves are pretty easy to get the hang of, EXCEPT BAGPIPE BLUES GOD THAT'S A PAIN TO USE
Use it instantly after HP Brass knuckles connects and it should go well
After so many years I arrived here ... My question in relation to Big Band is: How fast cargo to generate a Take the A Train or the Brass Knuckles? Whenever I try the Big Band, I end up with a normal attack.
Its about half a second. Keep in mind you can hold the direction to 'charge' while doing other actions. Attacking, jumping, even during the round-start intro screen.
@@jasonslade6259
Many thanks for the help colleague. Now, it's a good time to start training a little bit. Any questions I will ask you again but again. Many thanks uwu
@@jasonslade6259 Oww... another question. If I make the Taunt with Big Band.... how can cancel "Tubba Tubba" or the "Death doll" for make in other moment??
@@Sr_Yosho I think there's a button you have to hold? To be honest they added that to the game after I stopped playing regularly.
Ah, yes, big band, my favourite jojo reference.
yep. Big Band is just a massive Jojo reference.
Awesome video man, just wondering, after doing the j.LK > j.MK air in the first intermediate combo, how do you manage to land so close to filia for the follow up? I always end up missing the cr.LP completely or not finishing in range of the s.HK. And thanks for the guide, it's amazing help for fighting game beginners such as myself.
Its all in the timing. When you do s.LK > s.MK, j.LK > j.MK you delay slightly between each hit.
Jason Slade I was also having trouble with this combo, now that I saw this comment I've nearly got it down, you might want to throw a caption into the video if you can, it really helps to know. This video helped me a lot btw
Big band is fun, would highly suggest picking him up for multiple reasons
I like his damage output, for example I have this one combo that kills at full health in a 1v3, it's not practical since it requires specific spacing and 5 meter but it's fun when it works
I don't even own the game, nor have i played it. Still a big band main.
Great video! Just note that there is a typo in 7:50 where "constantly" has a misplaced n.
You don't have to shake the stick for Beat Extend. You can also alternate LP and HP, which I think is much easier.
Just started playing this game, and this has helped a ton. thanks!
Thanks for the vid, Im starting on fighting games and this should work.
1:57 king dedede much?
Yeah, its the dedede pallete ^^
Ok this guy can parry? This guy is the hype machine!
I've been wanting to main big band for so long
What characters work well with Big Band in terms of assists?
Like, would a Three Man Band of Fillia, Peacock, and Big Band be a good choice?
This is incredibly helpful thank you for this video
>Skullgirls
>perhaps the best character is a boy
>there’s only 2 boys in the entire game
Feel free to scold me for any errors as I have never played Skullgirls in my life.
The type of character I would get a game just to play said character
Why does the first thing that came to my mind was
"Doot for victory"...
JOJO IS A HUGE PART OF BIG BAND I DONT PLAY THIS GAME BUT I AM A JOJO FAN
1:56 and thats when i mained big band.
i don't have this game but i watched this anyway.
He gets a King Dedede outfit. Yes.
Good job dude ! It's a very usefull video !
Imagine training for years then some trumpet comes and beats you to death
C = ZL
C# = Y+X+ZL
D = ZL+Y
D# = ZL+X
E = Y+X
F = Y
F# = X
G = ZR
G# = ZR+A
A = A+B
A# = B
B = A
Up on joystick= note up octave
Down on joystick= note down octave
The guide I was actually looking for lol
This video was very helpful thank you
Wow... This character is a monster...
Now I want to buy it *more!*
1:01 I just noticed that big band footstep sync with background music.
This video was awesome for me to get into. I wish I was better at inputting the charge attacks tho (Beat Extend and A train)
i know what you mean buy ''HK A. Train'' but my mind goes to ''HEAVY KICK A T R A I N''
Personally, I think C.LP is a great move cause it can combo into a lot of thing and is a great option for those who are just starting out on Big Band
Here's another corner combo that I've done: s.MK x2 > MP or HP A-train
9:30
Nice Advance Wars reference :D
I, a Beowulf main, will now use this information to terrorize big bands more so than I already do
Thanks for the really well tutorial!
I’m an up and coming big band main, gonna need some assistance!
I love this character! Hilarious!
0:57 why was his walk and back dash in beat with the song? I ain’t complaining
Okay, so how can I combat some of his weakness?
Jagar Alagoria You cant
Mr. Tuba Tuba man has no weaknesses
Da Sinior great answer. Mr TUBA TUBA is unbeatable. (If i write something wrong, pls correct me)
painwheel, filia, msfortune, ibuk-valentine, and squigly..... especilaly squigly
He cant beat zoning teams
