I've tried the game, and i went in directly and played with Bane, my impression of the character after playing him for a few days is not the best one... His combos are easy and damaging, that's a given you have to use his venom i feel inside his combos because with Bane once you land a combo you want it to hurt bad and venom has no activation period you guys already know that.
So all those combo videos you guys see of Bane players activating venom and then jumping in that will almost never happen in a match trust me! You can see Bane jump in from a mile away and characters like Aquaman who has the sickest anti air ever will truly mess you up!
Here's the kicker with Bane he does great damage, and once you get people in the corner the match is his straight up, but getting in is almost impossible at times against the zoners, yes venom grants you up to 3 points of armor against projectiles but only during specials unlike Lex luthor's armor or Doomsday those are armors go through projectiles and normals!
I guess what i'm trying to say is Bane does the job, but ultimately he's very limited in his move set, you will learn one combo and that's it there's no reason to combo ever into his punches or air grab all his combos must end with either his command grab or his super. I found myself bored of repeating the same motions and the same combo after a while. I probably won't end up maining him he just feels very limited and i don't see any secret tech being found with this guy he's just one sided as hell.
