Worst match-up in the game?

wat do you mean cancel dashes? Dash no matter how good will get blown up , if people are doing dash into a normal. Easy to react to. Just watch Rico play. Thats how he gets half his dmg, people dashing in and throwing out normals thinking it's a good strategy. What bane has is that he can do an armored move that comes out on the first frame unlike the universal armor via his trait, that kinda makes this a good strategy but like I said she has a safe 2 hitting normal.
And anyway, I have said my view, no point in beating a dead horse. I could be wrong, but time will tell.
No like he can cancel his dash mid-dash into like backdashes and specials. He has always been able to. :|

No character can as far as I know.... is this true?
you can only do it like 2 frames before the dash duration , but that's universal and two frames hardly matter.

Yeah, someone did it in one of the tutorial videos in the Bane forum. Its like an hour long, but yeah. I think its because that's how far his old dash went and they never fixed the box or something.

I gotta look into that. Did not know about this at all. And this is easy to do?

Its one of those "if you want to, you can." type deals where you have to make a conscious effort to do it but its not something that takes really heavy execution. I personally don't use it, but its something we've appearently been able to do for a while since by my reads the BCC talks about it late May/early June. I think RYX brought it up? Possibly, dunno.

Whats with everyone assuming Bane is involved in the worst MUs?
Probably has to do with debuff if I were to guess. From my time using Bane it felt like his good pressure game is entirely dependent on Venom. The moment it runs out his pressure is utterly neutered and he has very little without it to make him scary. Any character with multi-hitting projectiles, "not considered"-projectiles, or something that makes it so they don't really care about super armor can feel like such an uphill battle since you're potentially using your most valuable resource just to get where he wants to be, only to have it run out and suddenly those 30%+ combos they can punish you with become a lot more painful.

I'm no expert mind you and this is all just my current experience. I tried maining Bane but dropped him after getting frustrated at how much of his stuff doesn't work like it's supposed to. I'm just saying I gave the character a shot and can totally see where the perception comes from. Especially the match-ups against Batman and Superman.

I assume by tools u mean Mb swamp hands.....and that's only one move and requires them to be on the ground. Sups can pretty much chip grundy out or just f23 him....also his trait shuts down almost all of grundy's offense. Bats u can win.....Cyborg will just grapple away, sups has air dash, f23, trait, eye lasers and several wake ups that will beat out or make grundy's wake up pressure from hard knockdowns useless. Hawkgirl is obvious....grundy is near useless in the air, and hawkgirl never has to come down and can simply spam mace charge and mace throw. His only option is wwc into a string on reaction vs either one or hard knock down then follow up interactables. I don't know anything about the lobo match up....but the grundy match up is definitely terrible.

f23 loops are risky for superman against grundy. If grundy has meter he can grab him and without meter he can backdash a followup f23 for a full combo punish on superman. That sets up more of a guess game so not a huge deal. Batman is actually harder than people realize. Based on how 99% of batman's play I'd actually say the match is 6-4 in grundy's favor however there is one thing that I'm not seeing most batman's use that totally shuts grundy down.

I know in theory the cyborg match is bad but I have only lost to him once. Jailhouse tried to play me but I had to go. Need to set up something with him.

Hawkgirl is pretty bad because she does chunks of damage with mace charge and you can meterburn it to avoid a WCC. She also has WE 3 which is a pain to deal with. Mixing WE 3 and mace charge is all you really need to make grundy struggle.

I run the Grundy vs Dicky MU quite a bit with my bro poofynamanama2 and we go pretty even so I can vouch for that.

Please don't vouch for a random swamp hands as the way to deal with nightwing thats actually terrible advice.

What I've learned from this thread is that no one has a fucking clue about characters they don't play. Some of the suggestions are mind blowing. Batman v. Bane the worst matchup? Good lord lol
 
In all seriousness, from what I've played Lex vs superman, and Lex vs sinestro is awful. As well as Bane vs Flash, and Bane vs Black Adam.

Batman vs Bane is a 7-3 but their are much worse MUs in the game. Wish people would stop bringing up Bane in the convo because of how annoying the Bane upplayers are.

I was nice enough not to blow you up for being wrong once before, despite you giving me full right to do so.
Give me the same respect to not talk numbers about characters you know less than nothing about.
Its scum like you, not us, that make the community worse as a whole.

Go ahead blow me up, I've been playing fighting games for a long ass time and gotten blown up for being wrong before, no big deal. I give respect when I feel someone deserves respect, you deserve a bit but you Bane players say some hella silly stuff and take over threads with bad information. And yeah, I make the community worse by actually going to events and trying to set things up but not the online warrior who tries to redefine what a link is lol.

You talk like I'm the only Bane player. We have Banes going to tons of events and bringing the hype, I'm just the guy who looks for tech in his off time. I won't blow you up, but its difficult not to when you make it so blatant you don't know what you are talking about. Going to events and "trying to set things up" doesn't improve the community when you go out of your way to show your ignorance beyond it. I'm the only real Bane upplayer, but that's a lot better off than every other person being a Bane downplayer. ;)

Leave the Batman/Bane talk to Batmen and Banes. You don't see me poking my face into Deathstroke/Hawkgirl or KF/DD, do you? :p
 
Sinestro vs bane. Sinestro rapes face
Not true. Bane is immune to Sinestro's blasts in lvl 3 venom. Bane's armor goes through Sinestro's regular fear blast, forcing him to burn meter for minimal damage. Bane DESTROYS Sinestro up close.

Not saying it's not in Sinestro's favor, just saying it's not a free matchup by any means.

Oh for sure I only had it at 8-2, it's not like guaranteed win everytime

You seem to forget I still play Bane since this game came out and I play against some solid Batman's. Batarangs and Trait make the MU hard for Bane to do anything yeah Level 3 can just say fuck that but it requires you to burn up to Level 3 an ddeal with debuff time. Note i also tough this MU was an 8-2 before dash and Venom buffs and a possible 9-1. At best it's a 6.5-3.5. It's gonna take alot of convincing to make me think otherwise. Should probably take this to the Bane MU thread.

Bane-Sinestro is 5-5.

Before the dash buffs, I would agree it was an impossible MU. Before the charge buffs, I would agree it was a 7-3.
We have answers for everything now, and wake-up is even more of a problem for batman.
I wouldn't go above 6.5/3.5, even counting stages, especially looking at our other 7-3 MUs by comparison.

I'd need a lot (and I mean a lot) more convincing to believe its anything worse than a 6-4, stage withholding (I feel on Strykers its a 5-5)

I just think that due to how the tools work and my own experience any character that forces you to go to Level 3 Venom to be able to get in *Even with the dash buff getting in is still a pain due to Bats covering Batarang holes* is an automatic 6-4. Throw in a stage like Atlantis or any that allows movement like the tube in the middle plus Bats keeping you in blockstun, and then Bats mix up game on Bane when he's in debuff pushes it to 7-3

Except we never have to go to level 3 to get in. Its hard, yes, but impossible? Not in the slightest. We can get in venomless if we need to, and all he can do is keep backing up.
