Trust me, I'm a doctor
I'm just going off of what I heard, I don't really care enough to theory fight it.

I havent played it much, @AK Pig Of The Hut says its bane adv, and maybe @BiPolarExxpress says it too. I am just trusting them for now.
That's true but zod only has 1 hit wakeups , so one knockdown and you BOP the crap out if him.
Well he can counter on wake up too, all it takes is one correct read from Zod and he's out though and probably punishing Bane's oki on whiff for it. (Neutral jump command grab, backdash a low start, or counter double punch, venom upper or d2 option selects)
Sounds like more of a guess than a read , also 1 wrong guess is a shit load of damage and another knockdown.
I wouldn't say a raw DP or command grab is shit ton of damage to pay for a wrong guess, unless at level 3 and I meter burn its definitely less than if you were to guess wrong on any other character. I understand I have the advantage on knockdown here but the advantage on knockdown is not enough to make up for the fact that bane might not even touch Zod at all with his godlike zoning arsenal. Maybe @AK Pig Of The Hut can give me a little more experience with the MU but for now I'm still standing by 6-4 Zod.
Try using d1 or b2 cancels, opens up oki quite a bit. I thought Zod was overwhelming at first, but it's a matchup you have to keep grinding. Zod has so many little things to pick up on. The zoning is about patience, the second he activates trait is when you take advantage actually. His full screen 50/50 is actually reactable, have done it quite a few times. If they rush you down with trait don't be afraid to pushblock, we don't need the meter and trait is pretty much gone after that. All his strings are fuzzyable as well
If you do stuff like D1/B1/B2xx armored special then it will beat out the parry and most of his other wake-ups if timed right. Zoning in this game really isn't that big a deal, you just have to be smart about getting in.
What's bad IMO is that a lot of Banes I see are still not doing this or using d2 cancells for that matter. I'm not even a good Bane and I've floored some peoples minds in casuals once they saw that kind of stuff. He is still not being used to his potential by most, but then again how much of the cast is?
Why do I have to do raw DP or command grab?
*Few characters*; read as 2/3s the cast.
This. Until you have actually played GGA Max, you know nothing of strength. Bane is 6th imo though.
Well raw command grab to catch backdash, thats the main thing Zods doing on knock down not waking up. d1, b1, and b2 cancels all whiff on his back dash
WRESTLING'S FAKE!
That's 100% wrong. B2 works meaty. And d1 d2 cancels always catch the backdash. Honestly sounds like you just need to work on the timing a little bit, that's all.
