I would like to zone you please~

[Master Chibi]

So I finally have my hands on this game, and I have a basic understanding of how it works, but I don't have a clue as to who I want to play. All I know is I want to zone all day. I don't quite care for mix ups, I revel in being able to keep someone out or force mistakes out of them, but resets / rushdown and the like do nothing for me. Who should I try to play?

 

[Hellbringer]

Joker is the best zoner. He can do high projectiles and low projectiles and shoots a gun.
You dont have to care for mixups cause he has none.

 

[Eric]

Joker, Sinestro, and Deathstroke are all pretty pure zoners.

 

[Master Chibi]

Wow, Joker's a zoner? Really? I had no idea. I had an idea that Sinestro and Deathstroke were. Hmmm.

 

[Incognito]

In terms of traditional zoning, I would recommend Deathstroke and Cyborg. In terms of spacing/setup zoning, I would recommend Raven, Sinestro, Lex Luthor, Zod, Green Laturn, etc. (basically 95% of the cast has some form of zoning)

 

[Spinky]

Cyborg is the funnest (is that a word?) zoner in the game in my opinion.

 

[xWildx]

Please don't listen to them saying Joker is the best zoner. Go with Deathstroke, Cyborg, Raven, Sinestro, Black Adam, or Ares.

 

[Radish]

Deathstroke is a lot more hybrid now. He can zone but he is more vortex oriented.

If you want heavy zoning go Sinestro or Cyborg. Joker isn't that great of a zoner and is more about teeth set-ups.

Yeah it seems that way in that everyone has a projectile but I want someone who excels in it. This is why I created the thread, to narrow it down lol

I also forgot to mention Hawkgirl, but she is more of a zoning/footsies character

Do you want a character that does nothing but zone???

Keep talking. You have my full attention.

Batgirl dawg/

I would yes, but I love footsies as well, though I'll be brutally honest and say that I didn't think this game had footsies lol

 

[Radish]

I always forget Batgirl. Batgirl can do anything, so she'd def be a solid choice as well.

Hawkgirl is a character that relies on using her trait to stay airborne and use the different versions of her mace toss. She uses her d1 (6 frames with insane range) and her mace charge to play footsies with her opponent. All of this combined with her wing evade make her a very zoning/footsie heavy character. Even though she has a very unconventional way of being played, she goes even with Superman and Black Adam IMO. For more info on the character go to the Hawkgirl forums, the people there are very friendly.

If you want a pure, by the book zoner, then I would recommend Cyborg as his Instant Air Fireball is his main tool he uses in the neutral game.

Zoning wont get you very far, expecially if your trying to play competitively

That's fine. I'm not out to win tournaments, I'd just like to not be utterly free if the game shows up to local gatherings / sessions.

Ehh I kinda agree. Pure zoning characters are outclassed by zoning hybrids because they have good zoning and good normals/specials/etc.

sounds like sinestro is your char of choice. you might also try cyborg but i dont really see other chars for you.

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

Cyborg is the funnest (is that a word?) zoner in the game in my opinion.

he's a pain in my dick.

As for a zoner, Sinestro is a pure zoner.

but I seen Sinestro mains get down and get inside and do the dirty stuff.

 

[Rampage254]

Not DS because low gun shots were nerfed. Use Sinestro or Cyborg.

 

[Heroic_Legacy]

Martian Manhunter has:

• Aoko style Orbs
• Peacock remniscent overhead projectiles
• Kenshi shoulder reversal/wakeup
• Sektor style Telepunch to punish people jumping your projectiles
• Ground Blasts that when meter burned have Dormammu Purification hitboxes
• Multiple airdashes via meter usage.
• Stupidly long Dhalsim limbs during trait. (Think Nero j.C range)

I'd say he's the most flexible (harhar trait) of the zoners out there, but he lacks an actual projectile. Instead his zoning is based on space denial and annoyance. Just another character you can try out if you want. He's a load of fun.
