So...if someone were wanting to pick up Zod seriously, how would one do so?

What I mean is...what are The Fundamentals of Zod?

IMO, Zod favours players with developed fundamentals in Injustice. His spacing is totally different to everyone else in the game. You need to space all your projectiles differently, whiff punish with IA Zod charge, space Phantom Strike so they can't jump over it, have Wraith set ups and mix ups at the ready... there's a lot of stuff to be aware of. He's probably one of the most advanced/technical characters in Injustice.

learn simple punishes
learn how to use force balls (instant air if possible)
learn how to mix up with trait
backdash a lot


haha

everything else will sort of fall into place

I agree w this 100%

He definitely is one of the deepest if not most in game and hardest to learn to win with

Hello everyone. I'm very new with Zod, and by no means good with him. I realize the difficulty of him, but that's half the fun. I've got a question, and it's probably going to sound really stupid, so I apologize for that. When do I combo with Zod? I mean, Zod Charge is my punishment tool, and Zod seems really focused on his specials. Really, the only time I go into full combo is after I get a trait grab. Am I doing something wrong? Are there combo opportunities I'm missing?

Watch some match videos

You should learn the frame data also

Example: DD shoulder is -9, so practice punishing it w 12 mb close laser

Do this w every character to figure out when and where to punish

Without trait, you won't be landing big combos much outside of direct punishes. Most of my combos landed without trait are just D12 xx MB Ground Blast, raw MB Ground Blast during zoning or anti airing with D2. He's not like say GL or Superman who open with juggling combo starters, he lacks that luxury. I like to think that Zod earns his wins more honestly.

Once people start punishing Wraith Grab on block, his potential will be seen more. It'll force us to open them up with Wraith Slash frame traps rather than catching them jumping/blocking low with the grab.

do not press d12

Roll your thumb on the pad while holding down direction roll your thumb over 12

its 10000% better
That did help. Thanks!

I was playing a Doomsday. He traited, I traited. I went for the grab. He went for a throw. The throw landed, and my trait...broke.

it's known that 11d2 is not actually +5 (it appears to be about -4 or -5), but is it known that 112 is actually about +4 or +5 (and not -5 or whatever it says in the move list)?

It's possible that the in-game data for the two strings is switched in the list. I have no idea if it's useful at all, since 112 is probably crouchable by basically everybody in the game, but still
