Bane Pre-Release General Discussion Yhread

Not open for further replies.
The one where his debuff kills his movement speed and makes him extra slow and floaty for a long ass time in a game with the most epic zoning characters I have ever seen.

Calm yourselves guys, we have not seen too much, I get it. You guys thinking Bane will be viable in this zoning heavy game is just as much as a stretch as me saying he is going to get wrecked. Not saying I am right and anyone who likes what they saw is wrong, just saying how it looks to me from the bit we saw, and what I saw was the "Balanced Kenshi" treatment to his trait. Meaning high tier in one game and then neutered in the next.
Out of curiosity, why would you be level 3 debuffed full screen? Odds are you deserve it if you're just pumping through venom lol.

Maybe to avoid damage in a state of complete disability? Or perhaps getting knocked full screen when getting caught with a string that pushes you away? Or maybe someone simply just back dashes away while you are space walking. As it is looking right now, I will avoid using level 3 venom like the plague.

All I am saying is that the duration of debuff seems mad excessive given the added consequences for using it. But I may just be over concerned given the fact Banes showing followed Captain Cold, who is looking like a nightmare for Bane players. He does not even need to touch you to do damage, among other thing.

No point in continuing to discuss it, we will see how it works out very soon.
 
Am I the only one that likes his Intro in injustice better ? It at least showed him bulking up now I feel like we don't get that ?

Also don't like the fact back breaker is gear ! That is Bane ! It should be standard ! I feel like he should have backbreaker and the Powerbomb in his normal set up with them having different be benifits to them !

Also they didn't show his air grab , does he still have it ?

So basically they outplayed you and you're full screen. So again, you deserved it lol. But yep probably best to end it here.
 
Yeah, it is always good to end arguments when there is a community circle jerk going on.
I wouldn't have an issue with it if you were making decent points. It just seems like you don't really get grappler game play though, which is why I'm not taking it further. The whole basis of your argument is "I get punished for a misplay". Level 3 should've never been as OP as it was in IGAU1, it should be something rarely used. You're taking at least half life each touch with it, it should be heavily punished.

Reading your previous posts it sounds like you're worried about zoning, but if you're full screen who really cares? You take some chip and move on. No matter what you're taking projectile damage at some point, it's all about capitalizing while you're in. You're viewing the consequences and not the benefits. It was hard to notice at times since he was always venomed up, but he was a space control monster.

I am worried about the duration of the debuff effects is all. I get grapplers, but when said grappler takes more damage, does less damage, and gets slowed movement speed for so long for using trait in a game that has crazy zoning and mix ups is where my concern kicks in. Slowing movement speed just seems like overkill to me in general.

We will just have to wait and see. People do make good points, and I do feel better than I did after watching the stream because of those said points. I just feel like a lot of you are underestimating the consequences of trait debuff as much as I am not seeing the positives.

I really like bane's design more, the more I think about him

He might be one of very few characters who has a super that'll actually be used and it compliments him enormously, and his whole kit's centered around his trait instead of it just being a kind of tack-on like a couple others we've seen

bane was imo one of the most clever designs in IGAU and he's only improved in that regard in the sequel

All too easy...
Kk great chat.


Aaaanyways. Really hoping for b1 to make it's return, that was one of the most ridiculous buttons in the last game lol
It's back.
Moveslist from stream:





So we can punish with 112D3 now. If that has the same fullscreen hkd properties that allow for the otg command grab that will be the sickest punish string ever.

Still have B112, 123, 223, 113, and we saw them do B23 too

Raging charge still has a MB version

Ring toss still in

DBF3 grab still

Lets go
