I Am Gotham's Reckoning -- Bane General Discussion Thread

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Well, as long as Superman exists in this game, there's absolutely no point to playing Bane...
Superman isn't bad for us at all now.
This. Superman isn't one of those characters who cant hit us enough times off an attack to blow through our armor so we can punish him off of proper reads whenever he hasn't traited up. His trait is an issue, but even without armor we should still take less damage now from him if we have to play it with no armor. Plus if you can simply block and dash it doesn't take long to close the distance on him. Dont go getting all yolo on jump ins vs him and dont sleep on him(or his new armored MB punch) , but he's not like some 3-7 matchup or something. He's livable. Punish, play smart , venom when its sensible and stay calm. Dont bounce around or just chuck stuff raw. Its a patient matchup that you got to respect, but if you go in fearing him and his trait you just wont even go for the opportunities that exist.
 
Hey does Bane have any unthrowable 1 or 2 normals? I'd love to test right now but I'm not near my console :(

I'm looking in particular for a string-starter that's unthrowable so that I can mix up between normal throws and hit confirms better. Like, what about back+2? It kinda looks like it could be.

You mean the first move only? If so, f.1 has grab immune frames but its pretty crap. f.2.d is grab immune while winding up.
If you mean in general, b.11 is probably the best example since it sets itself up for tick throws on block.

yeah it would just be handy to have a nice mixup between dash into normal grab or dash into an attack that's unthrowable to beat people trying to tech an expected throw. no big deal if not, if i'm venomed then i have plenty of other good tricks, was just wondering. thanks anyway.

Charge is unthrowable and you can dash cancel into it and command throw, but the best example I can give you (and the dirtiest)
Is b.1xxnormal throw and b.11.

b.1 is +12 on block so the throw won't be interrupted by grab-immune attacks unless you delay it a LOT, and b.11 will make you grab immune and allow you delay the second hit a bit to copy the timing.

Also Bane has to commit to level 3 vs KF and charge is our only way in

9-1 match up, Bane bottom 5 guys

I think that MU is bad for us, probably one of the worse but that shit was lol.
I don't honestly. I mean it's not 5-5 but I've never felt overwhelmed unless I'm making bad reads in the 50/50. Feels 4-6 to me to be honest

The Bane community should be thanking me. I'm trying to downplay him for you, so he gets more buffs. LBSH though, I think he is good character, and probably has the best knockdown game out of anyone. I still think he struggles against certain zoners.

Last patch, there are no more buffs. Even if there was, we get welfare buffs so we don't even need downplaying.
 
good job to dartharma getting to gf of the break with bane. i think my experiment of drastically downplaying bane in public to see whether nrs will overbuff him is coming to a forced end heh

Yeah he did good. If he had slightly better venom management and a bit more tech beneath his belt he probably could've taken the entire cake.

Agreed. His Bane was't bad. But it was basic. Very basic. TOO basic, lol. Outside of that, he's still a very strong player, and no one can deny his batman is still very strong.

Armor doesn't last forever, sometimes you have to do things a bit later. You can't meaty attacks with wake-up invuln, you have to time it so that the invuln wears off around the same time your attack goes through, otherwise your venom won't do you any good.

Against Cyborg, try doing some empty-commands into armor. Stuff like cancelling a b.1 into armor on his wake-ups will allow you to bypass the invuln and hit him for some damage.
