I still don't see Superman as that bad. Ares isn't too bad either, and Lex I dunno, depends on how "bad" you mean.

Also Flash is still a bad MU. Shazam and Batgirl, no, but Flash is still a convincing 6-4 his favor.
Not convinced yet, man.

If you've got meter, I found that doing a MB shake is pretty decent (thats what harold used on me) but otherwise, Mb LC and MB L-Upper are pretty decent ways to bushwhack his oki.
If you can make the read, I'd even recommend backdashing.
I've used MB shake and it is a good tool but if the timing is even slightly off you are using a bar to eat a full combo. MB LC doesn't work. If Bane delays the attack it basically isn't possible to get the MB off in time. The MB portion is delayed when it hits a block or armor. I've tried this in training mode several times with Max. MB lightning uppercut isn't a move, you get the uppercut off a MB LC.

Flash may have it easier than most but I'm no longer convinced he wins this match. I could always be persuaded again but right now I have my doubts.

Trust me, Flash has a decent time getting out. And what? I thought Upper had a MB variation. I must've seen something else then.

Reading through the edits now. The Lightning Uppercut doesn't have a MB itself but the MB for Lightning Charge (torpedo) is torpedo straight into lightning uppercut. This can also be done off the RMS torpedo.

I see I was right when I said Superman was not such a big deal all those months ago.

I feel that Superman is a powerful character against Bane. All Superman has to do is pop his trait and suddenly Bane isn't so tough anymore. The fact that Superman in trait breaks armor with normal moves makes Superman a tough MU for Bane, who relies on armor. I'd even say that Superman is a good counter to Bane.

I've never claimed BG vs Bane was favourable for BG. The current BG MU thread has it at 5-5 iirc.

Yup, it's always a scary fun time facing a good Bane.

Scary for the one facing him. Fun for the one watching the match.

The ridiculousness of watching Bane tear through an opponent's life bar simply due to a bad read from the opponent is truly mesmerizing. Still can't get tired of watching a good Bane shred someone's life bar to pieces.
lol 'a bad read' u mean guessing wrong.lets not complicate matters,I hope u are truly enjoying yourself.

yeah i think it was mostly banes who say she had an adv.and maybe some BGs because she breaks armor. the mu is slightly deeper than that.
 
Care to explain Scoprion? Just wondering since I never had problems against post patch ones. ;)
I think that Bane has trouble against characters who can play keep-away well i.e. characters with a teleport. Objectively, Scorpian's been nerfed halfway back to hell and he's not a very good character anymore, but the fact that he has a teleport can make it difficult to keep him in front of Bane (and under pressure). It is debatable though, seeing as how someone can just scout the teleport and punish it.

I agree with the teleport part but not Scorpions kind of teleport. Its easily punishable and its easy to stuff with DP (lol) on wakeup. Imo Scorpion is free.

Scorpion's teleport is very different to a keep away teleport lile zatanna's or Ares' . Scorpion's teleport puts him right up next to bane which is exactly where he doesn't want to be and it's easy to block (just hold down). Scorpion is the easiest match up for bane in my opinion

Block, abuse the fact that your trait lasts longer and is better overall. If you don't know how to be patient, anything is a good counter to Bane.

Really? I'm not going to pretend to know the match up number but I've always felt comfortable in that match. Guess that's due to not playing a high level scorpion though
Can't pressure him effectively since if he makes the read on your slow normals he can outright avoid your armors. Plus he isn't 100% free on wake-up, only like... 90%
