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

[RYX]

I <3 U

I've been looking for a wall bounce combo that DOESN'T start with b3 lol thanks bro

Here's a wall bounce for you, just got it down

J.d+3, b.2 3 MB w.bounce j.2 123 aa.grab

41% two bars

EDIT: Fixed. B.2 3, not 1.

 

[RYX]

The w.bounce is the bounce cancel?

It was an error; it's actually the interact button for knocking them into the background.

J.d+3, b.2 1 MB w.bounce j.2 123 aa.grab

41% two bars

Hooray!!

Meterless with the electric hazard in the Lagoon (Bat cave) stage. Starts from the left because wall bounce goes to transition from the right.

j.d+3 b.2 3 >hazard hits here< b.3 j.2 123 a.grab

44% no meter

 

[RYX]

After a wall bounce you can dash under them and still combo. This is good for reversals if you want to put them in a corner. Examples from two minutes of experimentation:

J.d+3 b.2 3 w.bounce(bbMB) f.dash 123 a.grab 39%
J.d+3 b.2 3 w.bounce f.dash 113 c.grab 40%

If you cancel after the b.2, you can do 113 into cmd grab for 42% (44% w/ MB)

Edit: 113

Has anyone messed with that d1 tick into command grab? That shit seems really good. You just condition people to block low all day the hit 'em with the back breaker.

Can you explain a tick?

Is that just D1~grab?

A tick throw is when you throw out a normal, poke or block string and either end it early to grab. With command grabs in this game however you can cancel into them out of normals/pokes/block strings. So if you cancel into a command grab from d1, as long as the opponent isn't expecting it and jumps they will get grabbed.

So basically you can mix up with D1 double lunch and D1 command grab.

Fuck this character is dirty.

Yes that's one option for sure.

It'd be pretty risky, as a c.grab off of a blocked normal will go right through the opponent and whiff, allowing them a full combo, and d1 doesn't give you time to hit confirm. You could always venom up and slightly delay the c.grab though. And on hit Ithink d1 has a 17f advantage and c.grab is a 20f move (my memory is a bit fuzzy here), so in theory you could create a very small window for them to escape.

 

[iMLGzus]

So, excuse me if any of this has been said before, but I won't lie, I didn't read this whole thread. Anyway.

1. I feel Bane has little to no use for Meter Burns especially when his Venom only adds to his damage and gives armor.
2. That being said, he still gets (pardon the expression) retarded damage with no meter. Each hits for around 35%-37%. 'Round 32%-34% without jump-in if I recall correctly.
- J. D3, B23, 123 Bodyslam
- J. D3, B23, 123 Ring Toss
- J. D3, B23, 113 Bodyslam
- J. D3, B23, 223 Ring Toss
3. Because he can be stingy with his meter, If you find yourself with full MB and land a jump in...
- J. D3, (Confirm the hit to lvl 3 venom boost), B23, 123 BTB -----> 71% \(^O^)/

In conclusion, I main Bane (since he was revealed <3). B23 seems to be his best combo starter. Love this character. Looking forward to more tech. Anyone up to learn the Bane MU, hit me up on PSN, Worlds8thWonder. Any Batman players out there especially, I want to break the bat...

I can hit confirm it pretty easily.

One of those things that takes practice.

went into practice with bane and wasn't able to come up with many combo's....starting to think i should forget about combo's and just get in dat ass

Go with the simple ones if you can't do the more difficult BnBs. B.2 3 j,2 123 double punch to corner them quick or AA grab for close up Venom pressure.

 

[Deathwish]

any videos that i can find to observe how a good/decent bane player plays? My friend wants to main him, but he doesn't usually play fighting games, and I can't seem to find anywhere where there is some compiled, organized information on how to play with this guy. Videos help tremendously to see what works and what doesn't. Thanks...

If your friend doesn't play fighting games, I recommend he NOT play Bane. If he wants a grappler, Shazam or Grundy are easier to pickup and learn. A lot of the time with Bane, you're doing nothing. That level of patience isn't fun to anyone who doesn't really like the fighting game dynamic.

haha yea i just read the "getting in" thread and it would seem a bit tough for even me. He's a big bane fan tho so we'll see. He was also considering Grundy so I'll just tell him whatsup and we'll see how he acts.

as far as i know you use d1 and double punch for high low mixups, on wake up you call out venom into a special move (command throw) for the armor. i know it goes more in detail on what you do on block and things but that's basically what i'm planning on teaching him when i hangout with him, if he ends up giving bane a whirl.

also how bad is bane's matchup with aquaman? 8-2 aqua? lolzz cuz his brother mains aquaman so it would discourage him even more, but im just curious....

 

[RYX]

Deathwish Not that bad actually. Just wait patiently for Aqua man and close the distance slowly. As soon as he tries to check you, armor up and slap his shit in,p. Double punch makes a good whiff punisher for him. You can dash after a blocked ground trident so just make your way in slowly. He'll corner himself for you and that's where Bane wants.

The only problem up close is his trident stabs because he hits you so much but it can be whiff punished.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Made a Bane video. Picked up the character recently and decided to pretend I know what I'm talking about.

By hit confirm, i mean combo it into a special on reaction to seeing the normal hit, which is impossible to do with single strike moves by definition; you either buffer a special or you dont. You can definitely confirm a hit or block on a naked d1 though, and respond accordingly. Especially with all that hit and block adv.

Edit: unless a normal has a ton of input time for chaining a special, though d1 is pretty quick.

Not a great combo potential character but he has generic type of capability to combo.

I'm more interested in reset grab setups at the moment. I think people should focus more on the situations after you catch people and knock them down. The combination mix ups and threat of grabs need to be established.

I agree with nova, honestly Bane is an oki machine and that needs to be recognized. You need to make your opponents respect.

 

[LEGI0N47]

Just signed up. Maining Bane and just wanted to say there's a lot of good stuff here, as well as the forum as a whole. Have learned a good bit and hope to continue to do so.

Glad there are other Bane players out there because I've never seen one on-line and even when we're just messing around none of my friends ever even pic him lol. They'll all learn the meaning of strengh soon.
