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

Where would I go to find good Bane tech? I can't seem to find topics devoted to his specific setups. I'm really in no hurry to read through 52 pages of general discussions in the hopes of finding the occasional tidbit. I keep hearing that the Bane forums are overflowing with tech, but really all I can find are a few videos promptly followed with Doombawkz debunking them.
I think I've seen you around here so you may have already seen it, but I've got a general guide. Should be of some help.

The only setups I know are 113 charge then you can corpse hop for more mixups. Also when you have venom spam double punch/grab for pressure then use b23 when they respect your armor

What are some of the best ways to stuff WUs? I see a lot of people doing d2xxVU/DP/RC as well a b23, but I don't understand how those stuff invincible wakeups since the d2 and b23 don't have armor. Am I missing something?

Most wakeups's invul frames end before the move is active, so there are a few frames in there where you can stuff it. It's really hard though on most WU's.

With d.2 xx special, the d.2 whiffs if the opponent does an invincible wakeup, but it still registers as a hit so the special comes out as well and the armor eats through the attack. It's a great option select against chars with slow WU's. For example, Black Adam. Doing d.2 xx special stop him from doing anything but blocking. If he dashes, jumps or hits a normal, he gets tagged with d.2. If he does a WU like Lightning Cage, the d.2 whiffs but the armored special (EX: body press) catches him.

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Just got the whole reskinning characters thing to work on PC. Im trying to find out how to access Luchadore alt from the updates folders so that I can begin work on a Duffman Bane alt. For now though I can at least do recolors of Knightfall, original, and Regime Bane. I've got 3 chunks of Math HW to do and process technology finals to cram for though so dont expect much soon, but do expect me to try something in the next few weeks.

Also PC Injustice looks amazing. Waaaaaaay better than console was on 360. Its 50% off right now for another day on Steam so grab that for $24.99 and get ready for mods since MKsecrets seems to be getting things flying now.

When they figure out how to add components/remolding models to import for the game, let me know.

A lot of big strides made for SSF4 PC modding. Hope it picks up here lol.

putting aside the 'rude person' (censoring for kindness) in the match-up discussion...

is bane able to use his d.1 to lower his hitbox to avoid anything of significance? (things he couldn't while normally crouching)

I'll test it for you.
However landing an Instant-air j.2 on anybody gives him +10 upon landing.

the things this character has...

this is what keeps me coming back to this game
Is pretty spiffy. On block though its not too good for us.
Unless we do it point blank... in which case we get over their attack if they aren't lex luthor corps charging us and they whiff a reversal

Remember that old thing about b.1 being amazing on block if you keep going it over and over?
b.1 j.2 is in the same boat.

I'm sure this info is somewhere in the forums, but I've been looking and can't seem to find it. I'm trying to find out the Duration, Damage Bonus, and Damage Reduction of each level of Venom, as well as the opposite effects for each level of cooldown (and the percentage of his movement penalty while on cooldown). If anyone can post that info, I will love you forever.

Level 1 is 10% damage increase, 5% damage reduction. 7 seconds.

Debuff is +10% damage taken, 10% mobility drop, 20% damage dealt reduction. 3 seconds.

Level 2 is 25% damage increase and 15% damage reduction. 7 seconds.

Debuff is +25% damage taken, 25% mobility reduction, 40% damage dealt reduction. 4.5 seconds

Level 3 is 50% damage increase and 30% damage reduction. 7 seconds.

Debuff is +50% damage taken, 50% mobility reduction, 70% damage dealt reduction. 6 seconds.

Anything else? For the most part, venom is a very linear trade.

I don't understand why I see so much DP from the top Bane players. I understand it's a nice little armored overhead, but it's, what, like 8% damage and some hit advantage, -5 on block?

It's an armored fast overhead. Fast enough to beat out a lot of moves, and being -5 on an armor monster is a bill

I can see all that, but it seems like a lot of Bane players are constantly just trying to land DP over a lot of his other setups and frame traps. I spent a good while yesterday watching all of Max's GGA matches and it seems like all he wants to do is land a damn DP. Just wasn't sure if I was missing something. Does Bane have a great post-DP oki or something (beyond his already insane oki, that is)?
