Why is Zod top 5 ?

[NY_Jailhouse]

His control over the stage really is unequaled. They literally can't do anything its not.even fair

 

[Metzos]

Ill record w fly and others

ZOD has to completely run away and interactable and trait up all day w side arm MB shots and b3 MB

MU is just annoying cause I can't do anything I want to do or designed to do

All I want to do w zOd is rush your face down into the ground and bury u w rush down

GGA Dizzy might find this a bit odd
Ill tag Death for the fun of it

Have you found any strings that beat Grundy's WC? That alone may make the MU in Zod's favor. He is extremely solid in the highest lvl though i agree with you on that one.

 

[dribirut]

Laser cancelled into grab is not reactable as long as you consider kf mixups unreactable

Ex: B1, d4 vs b12, mb laser
noramals cancelled to trait grabis 100% a mixup lol

if you're not familiar with it I agree but after I while I def reacted to quite a few and blocked. but yes it is hard

I disagree.

Zod is mediocre.

Nothing to see here. Move along, you fools.

Dave downplaying Zod? ......Wait nevermind.

 

[B Pryme]

Pig, I love your attitude, you have a true warrior spirit! Hopefully guys like you, jailhouse, chef and johnny 2d can show people the true potential that lies within zod.

 

[Phosferrax]

How about this for a non-specific high/low?

Ok that shit looked pretty legit.

Dude have you not seen my videos?

Lol i feel like simsim and I and all zod players are arguing with people on who good he is because no one bothered to check out our videos

lol

b23 works Sometimes
you can parry some of his grabs
standing 3 works ehh sometimes but its a just frame

Still looking though

Wouldn't his 22 1+3 string work since he's airborne during the charge?

 

[godlessmode]

That 50/50 only works if you have your trait out already and are at the right spacing. Zods problem isn't how good he is with the trait. Zod's problem is getting the trait out safely against his bad MUs.

Trait is very easy to get out

In any MU:
side arm on hit
Side arm MB on hit
Ending combo w 123
Ending combo w f2134
Ground Laser hit
Ground laser charged Blocked
Ground laser MB hit
Ground laser MB blocked
IAZB slow MB

Other weird ones
Jumping Ba, aqua specials
Ducking batman grapple
Ducking aqua trident throw
Flash full screen anytime
GL anytime but preferably after ducked missle
Against MMH after blocked ground spark
Superman knockdown or full screen IAZB slow then trait
Idk I feel like in every MU it comes out a ton

Hm maybe but I have a feeling it's only during 1+3 which is risky but ill test

Some of these can be punished by batgirl's teleport in my experience. I haven't taken that to the lab yet, so it's purely anecdotal. Have you tested those against people with full screen starters? MMH, Batgirl, Raven, etc?

Oh and about this one part.

Idk I feel like in every MU it comes out a ton

That could be because your so good. Or because other people don't know the match-up entirely yet. What I can say is that in my experience my Zod struggles against the local batgirl who plays a keep-away run-away counter-zoning game and it makes my life hell. And that most of those setups, if I guess wrong and he teleports, result in 38% off my bar and a 50/50 that I have to eat.

Yes

Ill record and test tonight again

What punishes should I try w it? I'm down for any and all

IAZB is only one I wouldn't do on BG

 

[godlessmode]

Teleporters, Raven with her trait grab and with her gravity squeeze thing. Aquaman from the deep. NightWing staff fireball thing?

I'm just trying to think of things that launch, track (or will be on his plane) and are fairly quick. Killer Frost's slide. The local flash player hits me with his uppercut if I accidentally do the setups too close to the corner. Which makes me think that list changes depending on spacing.

I mostly see it with the bat-girl. I hate her. She needs a wheelchair costume.

Does 213 don't allow a free trait ?

And what you mean by superman knockdown and aqua supers ?

What about SI ?

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

the only match i cant figure out how to get trait out in is sinestro

 

[NoobHunter420]

I didn't believe that zod was top 5 but after playing him for a a while i can say that he has a lot of potential. He has so many tools, but it takes skill to use. He is not brain dead like some other characters, I can't wait to see what pig does with zod. I could be wrong, like I was with zyphox and flash l0l

Superman cannot do anything full screen away to keep u from getting trait

Jumping aqua's specials

213 does if you dont follow up
