Usually this is his crouching Medium Kick, which hits twice.

The only time you need to be concerned with frame traps off of F.A.N.G’s normals are when he’s using an attack that gives him +2 when blocked. At best you will trade with F.A.N.G, which usually ends in your favor. If you have a 3-frame attack, that’s not a frame trap. Most F.A.N.G players rely heavily on standing Heavy Kick, which is +1 when blocked. In addition, his frame traps aren’t as powerful because of his relatively slow attack speed. That means many characters (Ryu, Ken, Cammy, etc.) have faster attacks at 3 frames. Attack SpeedĪ very important issue with F.A.N.G’s offense is that his fastest attack is 4 frames. Now every time you’re hit with a poison attack it will reset that counter, but if F.A.N.G is across the screen and you get poisoned, you can sit back and wait it out, only taking 50 points of damage. At most F.A.N.G’s poison inflicts 50 points of damage across 8 seconds. The bottom line is that F.A.N.G’s poison doesn’t inflict as much damage as you probably think it does. If you ask some F.A.N.G players they’ll even tell you it’s not effective enough. Capcom has done a very good job balancing F.A.N.G’s poison to make sure it’s not overpowered. He can’t simply sit back and let the poison do its work.Īnother big factor of F.A.N.G’s poison is that it doesn’t inflict all that much damage. Even if you have no health remaining, F.A.N.G still has to hit you to win the round. If you’re poisoned and your health is running low, don’t think you have to rush him down to score a hit and stop the poison. In addition, he cannot kill you with poison alone. Anytime you’re poisoned, if F.A.N.G takes damage the poison effect immediately stops. First and foremost, F.A.N.G’s poison follows a few rules.
