I just tested how much damage full screen superman qcb 3 and super did with level 3 venom on cooldown.

Pre-patch:82%

post-patch : 63%

that's a pretty significant difference in damage

i love this update. ive played a few matches today with bane already and so far because pf his faster dash after doing a body press opponents that dash back to try and escape banes pressure can no longer get away now. pre patch after i did a body press and would try for another (all this with venom activated) it would whiff from time to time but NOW its like guareteed punish. same applied for doing double punch if they tried to jump out of another body press. i think if they were to buff bane in the future ot would be the startup on his charge being shortned but until they day comes if ever i am much happeier with this bane post patch.
Wait, so after a command grab you dash and get another command grab guaranteed?

You could always get another one before the patch if your timing was on point, but it was difficult. It's just easier to catch a character with a fast dash now.

The venom changes are so nice, its good that i actually have to think about my venom usage now instead of only sticking to 1 maybe 2

Does lvl 1 or 2 venom increase your dash speed, or is it just damage buff? The reason I ask about the command grab setup is that Lobo and Shazam have command grab setups that are guaranteed to land after certain moves, the only thing the opponent can do is to wake up special attack to get out of them. Was wondering if Bane has it now with his improved dash

No, only damage. It's basically the same, get a hard knockdown, time the grab right and you'll get them. Venom also gives you 1 hit of armor so special dependent you can beat a wakeup. The dash has little to do with cmb grab into cmb grab, but yes very helpful for knockdowns that occur farther away.

Bane has always had that, if I'm not mistaken. In fact, that's the mixup. Meaty body press should beat everything but an invincible wakeup attack, but a delayed body press with venom will beat that.

Is the MB CMD Grab glitch still around? The one where you can't change direction of where you throw them when a lifebar runs out.

What hard knockdowns does bane have to get this setup? Besides sweep. By hard knockdowns I mean ones you can't roll out of
