I dunno. Restrictive as it might be, I think it'd be better if it were easier. Zod's moves and playstyle are rather restrictive as it is.

I use these in lag:
213~DB2 MB, BF2
F21~DB2B MB, Ji3, BF3

Both aren't optimum, but are easy to hit in lag. They both get around 30%

yea if I feel the connection is good, I'll risk a 2nd Krpt rifle shot, but to be safe I sub it with a J2.

Yes, out of F2, 1, U2 I start with Slow KryptRifle, then J2 (Immediate)RegularKryptRifle. If your feeling lucky you can immediate dash, immediate j2, to immediate Fast KrypRifle but the window has absolutely no room for error. I think I've only pulled the 3rd rifle in practice mode. I use all three only in the corner online.

Im begging to think Batgirl is Zods worst MU
I think so, I do well against BG's. F2 strings can punish her smoke bomb. Trait keeps her grounded. Also Zod's j1 is godlike, you can bait a smoke and hit her out of the air with it.

Yea its tough, but do-able, just have to play really clean. You need to trait when he traits and interrupt his charging time for it.

Yeah but getting the trait out is the problem,,, once she's in, she's in, zods d1,2 whiffs on most of her shit,,, so prepare for the cion flip frenzy

Yea, you can get the trait out on projectile confirm, but that's about it.

Gesture Required Ahead

Get on that hook
More useless discoveries from me (maybe even already known). If Zod is close enough to an opponent, Enkidu swipes could be Pushblocked. And Pushblockign an Enkidu Grab causes the glitch to happen. Lazers can be Pushblocked too.

This means no Interactable hogging at close-ranges, no more D12 x Close Lazer MB on block.

:(

I've been thinking on some Zod strategy so I'm curious what those that are more advanced with him think of the following.

Do you guys think it's better to finish a combo off early in which you can get a hard knock down, like 123, just so you can get trait out; or take max damage and bring out our little friend after?

I know that's kind of relative to situation but just in general how do you guys approach that?
123 into trait I think. You can guarantee you get trait out and you're in a strong positon after 123, where as doing a combo and the getting trait out neither gives you the best position to use trait or guarantee you can get it out.
