I think that's old logic. Even Max has pretty much said Bane can't really do anything to get in against iazb's except Charge (easily punished) or double punch through them (takes damage and wastes trait to get nowhere fast). So if it's 9-1 Zod if he can't get in and 9-1 Bane if he can, but it's much harder for him to get in (plus he has to do it at least three times per match and that's assuming perfect reads on oki), then it's not really 5-5 is it?I don't think I've ever seen that, and I'm pretty generous with my numbers.
Its 9-1 Zod if Bane can't get it, 9-1 Bane if he can. So probably 5-5.
Matchup charts are supposed to assume highest level and just because some players who will remain unnamed can't do iazb's perfectly doesn't mean the impact of iazb's on the matchup should be underestimated.
