Bass

Created by Dr. Wily, Bass isn't one to sit back and let Mega Man take all the glory, so he also joins the battle! Sporting a rapid fire buster that can also charge over time, Bass is a more mobile, less powerful version of Mega Man. That doesn't mean he has no tricks up his sleeve though! Use your specialty tools to keep your foes right where you want them, and force them to dance from afar with a nonstop stream of buster shots! If you like:

-Keepaway characters

-SMG style busters and fast attacks

-Melee attacks for style points

Bass would be perfect for you!

Overview
With slower then average movement speed, Bass gets around to places he probably shouldn't by using a combination of his dash and double jump. Getting to advantage points and locking down an area will likely be your best bet, as Bass struggles hard in both close and long range combat. Keep distance between you and your opponent, and keep chipping away, and they will eventually fall.

With the Copy Class Upgrade, Bass's buster has ZERO spread on top of doing additional damage.

Main
Bass Buster

Bass's Bass Buster is a pretty standard machine gun, spread and all. With the exception of it having no ammo cap. This changes it from what would likely be an okay buster into an threatening one. Along with this, if you're not firing, Bass will passively charge energy, resulting in his first green meter filling. If this fills all the way, the first shot Bass will fire from his Bass Buster will be the very same charged shot from his fight, which does some additional damage.

Alt
Dash/Crescent Kick

Bass's altfire is his dash. This gives him a considerable boost in speed, that can also be jumped out of. If you combine this with his double jump, Bass can gain insane horizontal mobility. If you mainfire while dashing, Bass performs the Crescent Kick, a boosted flip kick that does 15 damage and knocks opponents away. You can't just run away forever though, as it is ammo limited, with a hard limit of 5. Along with this, there's a 10 tic (0.29) second delay after dashing.

Trivia
Bass's tagline, :Nobass: is a reference to an infamous player known as "BassXRoll". He was banned from TSPG in 2016 for various reasons, but still continues to ban evade and attempt to play to this day.
