The Zoning Academy (Mortal Kombat X Edition)

Kombatant
Yes.

By the way, Sektor looks very impressive. Very fast horizontal projectile. Up rockets that resemble Tremor's rock drop. Homing projectile. Teleport. Armored advantage EX flame. Should Tremor be normalized, I am using Sektor.
Yup definitely dropping Kotal for triborg (mostly sektor for those exact reasons). PLus his combos look very practical

Retired forever; don’t ask for games.
We will find out next Friday what happens to Predator and Tremor.

If NRS overnormalizes I wonder how many people will have had it at this point. What nerfs would be considered fair to the 'scrubs' that cannot handle zoning.

ZONING HOW I WANT IT

This is my rant of what I think needs to happen for zoning in mkx to become AS viable as mindless 50/50 rushdown. I will go character by character as I have nothing better to do.

Jason- idgaf

Kung Lao-idgaf

Jax- nerf his db2 projectile(not HW) so it doesn't out shine the pure zoners in the cast.

Sonya- idgaf

Kenshi-balanced being untouched is stupid. Bf3 whiff recovery needs to be halfed and his db4 needs to be more advantage on hit. Bf2 safer and ex is +.

Kitana- glaive does more dmg. 5% is pathetic. She can't win any trades.

Scorps- idgaf

Sub-idgaf

Mileena- her new sai buffs make her one of the best zoners but nrs will probs nerf it.

Takeda- idgaf

Cassie- idgaf

Jacqui- idgaf

Kung Jin- idgaf

Tanya- pyromancer was stunning. With her teleport nerfs I think her ore patch fireballs would be fine. They need a lot less recovery.

Predator- damage will get nerfed on lasers I bet you. Bf3 7% down to 6%.Db3 6% down to 5%. I think it is fine how it is.

Shinnok-necromancer better tracking and df4(I think) is a low. Make unlockable an overhead like tremor rocks.

Kano-Cybernetic knives do 6% is a must

Johnny- idgaf

Erron-gunslinger is ok

Liu-good zoning but what's the point when he has mindless rushdown

Ermac-mystic is decent now

Kotal-idgaf

Reptile-idgaf

F/t-ok I guess

D'vorah-brood mother timer on low bug gone. Fireball to be faster.

Raiden-idgaf

Quan-was the best but hqt has taken the crown imo

Goro-idgaf

Tremor-defensive af in crystalline.

HOPES AND DREAMS
Leatherface-no one will compete with pretty lady. 8% is kwl. IAFB seemed to recover fairly quickly on second inspection.

Sektor-insane as well but leatherface can keep in the back corner where no on else can really get to.

Bo rai cho-dragon breath could be alright I guess

Alien-egg traps and ice clone calling other aliens on stage (like I called I his announcement) could be good. But we will see. "Longest d4 in the game"-Tyler lands down


My opinions :p
 

IrishMantis

Most humble shit talker ever!!!
So on paper seems there are 3 new Zoners from this lack

Sektor
PrettyLady
Acidic

Whether they are viable it not is a different question

I'll be playing Sektor

I need that Zod fix
I'm least likely to play Sektor. I feel he is going to benefit a lot more from about mid range not zoning. Just a personal preference really. Pretty lady on the other hand, I'm playing for sure. Acidic will probs lose against other zoners ? I haven't seen you zone since igau. Zoning is the best strat but be prepared for nerfs around every corner hehe
 
Why waste time and resources when you can block string, 50/50 and unlockable them to death with one touch? He does have the best zoning imo too but why do it when it has no where near as much as of a reward.
Guy has a point , some characters you dont want in your face ( ie kotal , erron , lao , sonya etc) you dont want characters like those on your face.
