Talk:Oda Nobunaga (Uber Rare Cat)/@comment-39465568-20191104220604

Which is better: Oda or Bombercat?

Answer: It depends.

First off, I just want to make it clear that I do have both of these cats, so I am speaking from experience. In order to analyze these two, I will be looking at their biggest weaknesses.

Oda: Tackeys and SBK spam. His long range puts him square within Tackey's range, and his speed doesnt't help him get out of it (If you think I'm just spouting shite, see Lucas IV's videos on speed and range). In this case, Bomber's significantly shorter range and higher speed allow him to get within their blind spot and get to freezing, making him better. As for the goddamned SBK spam, Oda's attack animation is his stumbling block. A great example of this is one of the most cancerous stages in the game: Gestalt, Decay. The ridiculously powerful SBKs in this stage are spawned in absurdly quick succession, meaning that when Oda manages to freeze one, another is right behind it, and Oda's foreswing gives this mini-cyclone plenty of time to plow through your meatshields and take  him down, leaving you without a freezer for the next 80 seconds, which is more than enough time to lose the stage. Bomber is a much better choice on this stage due to his spammability and much faster attack animation.

Bomber: His greatest weakness is his lack of ability to permafreeze without being stacked. His lower health also means he can't take any punishment, and while Oda isn't exactly a tanker, support can usually knock black threats away from him, removing the danger. Range usually plays against him (Except in the case of Tackeys), as almost all black enemies are strong pushers. While his backswing isn't as long as Oda's foreswing, it still allows enemies like Bun Bun Black that were just outside your stack's range to come in and wipe out your stack, although this can be fixed by having a particularly large stack.

Overall, I would say that they outshine each other in different situations. While oda is perfect for enemies like Bun Bun Black or Le'Noir, Bombercat fares better against smaller, more numerous enemies. As a statement of opinion, I believe they work best when paired with each other.
