Big Band Super Combo Finish?

[magicisaacsage]

While playing as Big Band in the beta, I noticed that when I had Bagpipe Blues active and i used SSJ to finish the cpu, the kill shot (and super finish effect) came in where SSJ would normally have ended, even though TT came (and hit) right after where it should have.

I also noticed that Tympany Drive (and Death Toll) made the kill shot before the move finished.

Is this intentional, or a side effect of how Big Band's moves work?

It's a side effect of how his moves work.
They're not cinematics, which means they aren't guaranteed to combo.
If you hit Cerebella's F+HP with SSJ, it can drop the rest of the hits and allow her to block. If that hit weren't allowed to kill her, she could live with 1 HP and 360 you and win.
And with Timpani, you can just miss with the last hit if you steer wrong.

So, though awkward in some cases, I decided to go with "let it kill rather than have him lose occasionally".
I will try not letting them kill in the beta, but I don't think people will like it.
