The Zoning Academy (Mortal Kombat X Edition)

[M2Dave]

My zoning brothers and sisters, the attack on Tanya has already begun here.

Yet fortunately today begins a new today for all us. With a new top tier zoning character and a buffed Kenshi, no longer need we hide in corners and crawl in fear. Assure me and the Zoning Academy that you make every rush down fool out there pay for their 50/50 mix up sins.

MK X finally gets more than one zoning character that is top tier and they're crying for nerfs.

Did these same players demand nerfs for Cassie Cage or Scorpion any other "setplay" character?

which zoner are you going to use to take down the 50/50s?

Pyromancer Tanya.

 

[MrProfDrPepper]

Pyromancer Tanya.

i look forward to see how successful zoning can be with tanya, good luck

 

[Shark Tank]

Ofcourse, the DLC character saves zoning in MKX

 

[RYX]

i play goro as exclusively a zoning character

am i in, i'm low tier like kitana

Well the dlc character saved anti zoning in injustice, it only makes sense to move to the next corner of the triangle for this game. Expect Mk11 dlc to save rushdown.

Hahaha I had no idea that thread popped up!!! Hilarious! It's only going to get worse as more zoners make the transition to the likes of Tanya, Kenshi, and hopefully one more between Predator/Tremor.

I shall bring endless amounts of salt from these "fight like a man bro" and 50/50 players to The Zoning Academy with these new arrivals. Speaking of transitions-

EDIT: Yes, I always practice against Erron, Sonya, and Scorpion. The hate is real.

Yes they did.

Anyways, it seems strange that in MK X I've found the zoning/spacing characters more interesting than the rush down ones. With Jacqui, Tanya and now Kenshi I've almost gone full zoning ._.

Include me in this too. Your Kenshi forum is like the house of a hoarder lol. It's hard to search for the real dirt and strats within the threads you guys have.

alright dude, i can also send you a link to my balanced kenshi tech thread, that also has a lot of good shit, my psn is TheMrProfDr if you want me to help you out by explaining it with my voice and show you exactly what i mean rather than reading a wall of text

I am learning balanced, but I think I've got an ok grasp with him.

Basically zone them out, anti-air if they try and jump at you, if they get in, use 11 or d1. Bait counterpokes and punish with armour, mix in grabs (especially after blocked 11). 11 is hitconfirmable into rising karma.

Combo wise I've got all that down.

Wall of text would however be much appreciated!

I'd also love to get in on this. That Kenshi board is pretty cluttered. Do you think it would be possible to post a mini guide for Balanced kind of in the same fashion as what Tom Brady did for the sub zero variations. Listing good uses for strings, strats, combo's, corners, and the like? I know that's a lot of work, and I'm not even really asking you to do it. But I can say this. I would read it, use it, and appreciate the hell out of it lol.

At the very least, we need a new dedicated Balanced Kenshi thread on that board.

Yeah, the Kenshi forums are a bit of an organizational disaster. I sent out a message looking for a Kenshi main to train with and got no hits.

That's awesome brother, I'll totally add you up. I'll put some study time in with the guide, and some hours in the lab before I hit you up in game, so we can play some matches or something and you can point out what really needs work. Karma3636 is who the friend request will be from

alright man awesome although my level of play isnt as good as it once was since i was forced to take a 2 week break, trying to level back up again, BUT i definitely know everything there is to know about balanced kenshi as of right now until someone discovers more tech, im actually working on that right now

There is few gimmicks for balanced that aren't posted on Kenshi forums and a lot of dirt for Kenjutsu which very few know about it. Most if not all of this stuff gonna get posted after EVO.
