MK is kinda dope
So now that hes officially out and im sure we have all been grinding, what are your thoughts on bane so far? I really like his new moves especially BF2 mixed in with D1. Thoughts?
 
I think he good right now, but they either need to lengthen the animations of his moves so it's easier to stall the debuff state, or make lvl. 3 venom have a bit less of a debuff state, like maybe 12-13 seconds instead of 15.
 
I miss the double punch but that's a minimal thing that just takes a little adjusting to. I've had zero luck with the top rope air grab ability. I don't think it gains armor with venom does it?
 
Bane feels good. Venom isn't what it used to be though. Which isn't a bad thing. No reason to really go beyond lvl 1 really other than for the kill. He does great damage venomless now.
That's a really good point actually, Banes non venom damage isn't total garbage anymore which is super nice. Although I do think lvl 2 Venom has a place outside of going for the kill ATM since the cool down isn't too long, lvl 3 definitely needs some adjusting however.

Me personally, because the cooldown is so bad on level 3 (and that's fair cause his damage is absurd when it's packed on, even chip damage) I agree with @Chakk dizzle in only using it in a kill situation (round 2).

I love annoying people with D1 like usual, but the BF2 is so nice now. Is it me or does his uppercut seem better now?

Chipotle and Olive Garden are NOT authentic
Can Bane tick throw out more strings on block now? I can't ever remember him ticking off b23, although it make sense, considering its unsafe now

in my opinion, this is one of Banes best additions. Ticking off b2,3 makes him ridiculously scary.
I borderline wanted to make a thread JUST for his tick throwing, but I think it's being covered in a few spots. You're exactly right, his tick throw potential now is absurd

You guys should take juggernaut charge if you're fine with using gear moves

it has a very similar animation to bf1 and f2d, so 11-db3 and 112d is an actual mix-up, and it has most of the same tick throws as bane bomb, and a couple more

Is that one of the ability moves you can use? Or is it already on his movelist?

How difficult is it for Bane to get in?
It's not difficult, more annoying depending on the skill level of the player. You can quickly identify who's good and bad with defensive observations. How do they handle me jumping? Dashing? Punish my MB Roll? Block my BF1 (venom activated)? Overall I don't think it's super hard to get in with Bane, just gotta be patient sometimes.

Me personally, I wouldn't do that simply because I go to tourneys and I'm more than confident that move would spoil me and It would mess me up in a tourney lol.
It is weird like that... for me too... kind of makes gear moves pointless if you aiming at getting better competitively.

I'd save that on a loadout just for missions and shit like that, where you are trying to unlock things. But on my main loadout, I wouldn't do it (personally)

Which suuuuuuuuucks given how many of them are practical/unbroken.

Someone pls let me know if he has a Dark Knight Rises skin. I want my Tom Hardy Bane.
Would be awesome if eventually we had an option to select this in competitive mode (if they are deemed fair/balanced). But overall I'm very happy with the game so can't complain too much

db2 still his wake up attack? Or something better?
I hate how the MB specials works for bane...only to boost dmg: no more mixups, no bounces.... well, I think Bane is the char that need less meter to make dmg. You can use it for MBdashes,clash, break combos or spend it punishing proyectiles with his new super
