yeah Bass is a fucking beast in this game. I think that was a mistake. lol
It was. Itagaki was giving him more tools during DOA4 such as the actual buffalo horn being a guard crush and the followup being a sit-down hit-throw into a running powerbomb. Yeah... when asked why he was making high tier Bass better, Itagaki responded, "High tier? In DOA3 Bass was low... he's so slow.". The guy then showed Itagaki how to really play DOA3...
Shortly after that, DOA4's entire system was changed.
