This pleases me. This pleases me greatly. Can't wait to start snapping spines in Injustice 2. I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaally hoping to see a trailer soon. This way I can get back to whining about character models and breaking up fights.
Any comments on what you'd hope Bane gets? Honestly I can't think of anything. He felt so perfect near the end of the game's lifespan.
He honestly was such a good and complete character with his well-defined niche. Every move had impact. But what I liked most was how cerebral he was.
Like most people see him and think "mash armor gg" but when you get deeper into him, it's all about trapping and out-reading your opponent.
With his slower buttons, you needed to play a dangerous game in a field of faster jabs, but the pay-off was worth it.
Every move you made was calculated to some degree, every option you throw out was put against every other option and deemed the best.
You played the game in a way no one else could. You didn't just have a 50/50, often you had a 66/33 where every option beats two of theirs.
Every time the opponent hit the floor, they weren't fighting to regain momentum. They were fighting to just survive at all.
When you built a lead, some match-ups encouraged you to play passive despite being a giant juggernaut.
In other match-ups, you basically had one chance to do as much as possible to a character and had to keep momentum rolling.
And your trait, while strong, wouldn't let you simply pump through people without risk. The moment you lost your venom, you lost everything.
Then you played defensive, you turtle and run and protect yourself, you become a wall. For those 6 seconds, you go from being the most insane pressure character to the weakest, slowest, most vulnerable character.
For those 6 seconds, you basically use everything you have just to prevent your opponent from making up the damage you dealt.
For those 6 seconds, and for the time afterwards, your game revolved around a give-and-take where you'd try to get the better deal.
Bane felt like how he should, a character who outsmarts you on one end, but overpowers you on the other. The mix of brain and brawn.
Every match-up was different. You couldn't fight any two characters the same. You were pitting your knowledge against your opponents every time.
If they knew more, you'd lose. However, if you knew more, then you would win.
And we won a lot because, as Bane said, "You know NOTHING of strength."
