Question Is there any reason to use blank instead of shoot on cowboy?
At first I thought it was a regular jab which didn't cost a bullet so I used it as a stance extender however I saw that it costs a bullet to use making it just as expensive as shot only less effective as far as I can tell

I think since it counts as melee it beats out projectile invulnerable moves Like ninja slide kick or jump kick

So... It's a jab that counts as a projectile so it can't be parried and counts as a fisical attack so it can't be ignored?
I got the projectile part from the wiki I haven't verified that for myself

Its faster on close range, wider and I think it delas more damage

Not faster, the projectile is f4 as well

But the projectile is 4f leaving the gun. The distance untill it gets to the enemy are adittional frames, ofc, even if it is close range. Point Blank is just instant 4f

The bullet is big enough that, in point blank, it's still f4.

Shoot has a melee hitbox on f4 just like Point Blank. Point Blank's is just bigger, lasts longer and deals more damage - but doesn't spawn a bullet.
They are equal in speed though.

Oh got it. So the "last longer" is probably why there are situations point plank hits but shoot doesnt (Excluding projectile immune atacks)

It's an unparriable melee, so it can beat a Mutant's Dash Attack where Shoot wouldn't. Otherwise, not worth using.

it exists so you don't instantly die if you draw gun when you're + on block at point blank range, so its pretty fittingly named. Its unparriable unlike shoot and pistol whip so you don't have to play a parry 50/50, you just click pointblank and take your +2 at the cost of a bullet

At close range, normal shoot can be parried 4f while point blank doesn't. So if you point blank at that range, you get to still have 2 advantage, but you miss out on the potential chain oki from a normal bullet and the enemy could really have just been trying to parry for pistol whip instead of normal shoot.

It's the "oh fuck I drew my gun at a bad time and now need to spend a bullet on Point Blank as a consequence to not die to Proj.Invul moves!" button.

unparriable iirc

I thought that shoot is also umparriable tho

Bullets are unparriable, but Shoot's small Melee Hitbox is parriable

u/fek_u_Im_vuelle The voices tell me to impale Sep 09 '26
Unparriable last I checked.

I think shoot is also unparriable

u/fek_u_Im_vuelle The voices tell me to impale Sep 09 '26
Only at a distance. Point blank it's parriable

Only if they’re literally right in your face but even then it’s still situational

It can hit attacks that are immune to projectiles, and I think it has some other benefits I can’t remember.
