Started playing online a couple days ago. Fought a really good killer frost player. Met a solid Batman (Beyond) player. Everyone else RQs against Bane at the Character select screen. I don’t want to hide my cursor cause I’m trying to get counterpicked. Despite everyone’s opinion, I’m planning on maining the character. I just need more matchup experience, mainly Black Adam, Doomsday, and Batman.
I feel like he’s severely underrated. Having armored moves without the use of meter is a huge benefit. Venom is completely free, and can be activated at any time. At lvl. 3, he can go through most projectiles easily (like Deathstroke’s bullets), beat out moves that use a bar for armor (or sometimes super), and do between 40%-50% combos without meter or interactables. The reward outdo the risk, which is a 6 sec. debuff. Bane can back off for a little while for his venom to come back. The debuff duration still applies between rounds, which usually last 5-6 secs depending on the move.
OK, enough theory fighter. I want to see where Bane is on the tierlst. I assume it’s on TYM.
bane used to be in the absolute bottom tier; not sure where he is after his buffs. i agree with all the stuff you said, by the way. i’m not sure why people say he’s so bad or what they think he needs to be able to spar with the rest of the cast, but i can say he’s a pretty annoying match up for raven. i eventually learned how to fight bane, but i’m not sure if there’s much raven can do now that he’s buffed even more.
Don’t listen to tier lists… If you like a character then keep working with him and make him work for you. Look at MameSpider and Hagar in Marvel…
Even Joker is finally coming around…
If you have the EU version of the game you can try your Bane against my Black Adam. (I’ve been repping that character for a long time now…)
Bane still in the bottom tier in Reo’s and Tom Brady post-patch tier list
Bane is bottom tier but to me, he’s scary except against Hawkgirl. Ive been messing with him too. I dig his style but I also need matchup experience.
He feels like a solely oki character. but that oki… Maaaaaan… It’s great oki. And his dash is now almost as good as doomsday’s so rolling away/back dash isn’t as potent vs him as before.
And with the venom cooldown being significantly buffed/nerfed, he doesn’t have to sit in the corner for 7 seconds if lvl 3 wears off and takes less damage too.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
I like venom. But I’m mostly looking for a character who’s a good counter to HGs bad matchups (lex, sinestro, and maybe WW)
SRK sucks for this game. Go to TYM.
I fell in love with SRK for SF4 and MVC3/UMVC3. SRK apparently has decided to focus on the Capcom niche only. Typewriters. . . PCs. . . smartphones/tablets.

TYM is only slight better by way of A) having more Injustice players and B) having more space.
Other than that, it also has the downsides of a lot of people too busy whining about how the game sucks or isn’t as good or fun as MK9. Or whining about the various amount of things they think are scrubby or broken.
It’s only use is the character channels, and even then it’s hit or miss.
I disagree. I’m basically a Capcom fanboy and I can’t say I have seen much crying about how it isn’t as good as MK9. That other whining is standard Internet fair. No more no less. Most on TYM are just excited there is a non-Capcom game generating hype. Their character specific forums are miles ahead of SRK.
Unless you are into Morrigan/Zero3, then SRK has become irrelevant. BTW-loved UMVC3; hate Morrigan/Zero3. Looking forward to SF5.

I have a decent amount of Capcom games but I’m no fanboy. Hell, MvC3/UMvC3 are the only Capcom games I bought on release. All others I usually get after a price reduction/other means. Except for maybe SF Alpha 3…but that was 15 years ago and I honestly couldn’t tell you when I acquired that game.
As for the crying about it not being as good as MK9…
A majority of that thread which transfers to a decent amount of the site has admitted that at best, they really do not enjoy the game as much as MK9. It doesn’t spread all over the site because it’s a new game that isn’t outright hated. Unless a game is Vanilla SFxT level, saying that you don’t like a new game is just asking for a lot of unnecessary flaming.
As for the character specific forums being better, that’s highly debatable. It all depends on the people running the actual forums. On TYM you could see a ton of work on characters like Bane and yet characters like Ares don’t get that much love in their own thread. A characters specific forum is only as good as the players who put work into the forum. And you can damn well be sure that I’ll make sure my Nightwing thread here as well as the Nightwing Channel on TYM will be relevant.
As for SRK becoming irrelevant, that actually has very little to do with Capcom favoritism. It’s because of the switch to Vanilla Forums. A lot of mobile users don’t like to use SRK anymore due to the switch and that was a good amount of traffic there. SFxT character forums used to be very active for the most part. The Paul channel always had things going on. As soon as the switch happened and shit went to hell for a month, now you’d be lucky to see a soul.
And even if it’s all about Capcom here…who cares? That’s why you DO have TYM for NRS games, 8 Way Run for Soul Calbur, Tekken Zaibatsu for Tekken, Dream Cancel for KOF, Dustloop for Anime Games and so on. It makes more sense for SRK to be Capcom dominant than try to spread themselves too thin for games people would go elsewhere for REGARDLESS.
every time i go to tym to check out the front page news, it’s just full of people complaining. you can read around if you want, but i really don’t recommend joining.
Lots of whining goes on at TYM. Though I signed up there I mostly lurk for that reason. I ain’t getting caught up in drama that easily happens there
my favorite part is that some of the members try to act like the whining/drama only started happening after injustice’s release brought “dc fanboys” to the site. i’m here to tell you guys it’s been that way at least since mortal kombat 2011’s release.
by the way, i think i found raven’s face model… are you ready for this? i dare you to click it. i dare you.

and you guys said she didn’t look human. shows how much you know!
The thing that i don’t get sometimes about TYM is how the majority of the complaints are about the whole dash canceling aspect that was in MK9 but isn’t in Injutice . Its obvious that many people over there haven’t played others fighters or understand how they might work . While i do agree that the footsies game in Injustice is a little bit lacking i believe its due to the slow walking speed in general not the dash canceling shenanigans .
The whole situation over there kinda reminds me of SFxT .
injustice has issues compared to SFxT
zoning is really strong mostly because walk speed is so slow, a universal buff to walk speed would make this game much more enjoyable
and also NRS hoping off of batman and superman’s dick but that’s another story 
And jumping on WHO’s dick exactly? Batman and Superman (in that order) are DC’s most popular and recognizable characters. I dare a publisher to make an Aquaman game to compete with Deadpool next month… See how THAT goes.
It’s been Batman and Superman for as long as DC has existed. Hawkman couldn’t sell a magazine if he was REAL. Aquaman is a running joke… (See: Entourage). Green Lantern is the next best thing they have… but he just doesn’t have the recognition.
It’s sort of a fundamental flaw of the way DC markets and promotes their characters.
The only reason The Joker ever became popular is that the Joker was able to transcend all of DC’s intentions and the fans MADE him popular. Like… DRACULA kind of popular.
But whereas Spiderman and Captain America and Iron Man and Thor and Wolverine and the Punisher were able to cross-over into being mainstream icons (mainly because of the way Marvel marketed them) the BAT and the “S” were just easier to slap on a t-shirt. And for a long time it was all the iconography they needed…
…until Spiderman made 500 million dollars at the box office and Singer’s Superman made nothing.
In 2013… these things matter a bit more. (I would not have bought this game if Batman and Joker weren’t in it.)
I am not comparing the games technically , Vanilla SFxT had issues too. I mean the fact that like in SFxT where people was and (some are still ) playing it like SF4 , its almost the same in Injustice a lot of the MK player are getting angry because they can’t play it like MK.
I don’t understand why people keep comparing Injustice to SFxT… I mean they have… ABSOLUTELY nothing in common besides the fact that they’re both fighting games.
I mean at least if you compare it to Marvel… they’re both superhero fighting games… but I don’t get the SFxT comparison…
It is annoying when people try playing one game as if it were another though… It kills me when people play Tekken Tag 2 as if it were Tekken 6. They miss the whole entire point of everything. (Even if you choose one character instead of two it’s still a different game with different rules.)
This game really needs some kind of OTG system. I think in this day and age every game should have an OTG system. It adds so much to the entire genre. At least it has wakeups I guess…
^ Ditto those last two posts. I could understand if they were sequels but they are entirely different beasts.
he means it makes no sense that people don’t like injustice because they can’t play it like mortal kombat, and he’s right. i guess they’ve really grown accustomed to the horrible balance, two second delay netcode, input bug, player one priority, and EX moves.
