UltraDavid shares Venom Trait option selects for Bane in Injustice 2

UltraDavid over at UltraChenTV just recently revealed an interesting trick using Bane’s trait to make the game “forget” inputs in certain situations.

For whatever reason, Bane’s trait will cancel out further inputs during strings on block, but not on hit. This makes it incredibly easy for Bane to remain safe  and automatically get the damage (or knockdown) that he wanted. David goes through several valuable strings that you can use this trick with to hit-confirm big, easy damage. He does note, however, that it only works when you are below Max Venom.
