The Zoning Academy (Mortal Kombat X Edition)

[PLAYING TO WIN]

Carefully paying attention to this thread. I have some opinions but I'll reserve speculation until the game is out

#ReturnOfZoning

The speed of the projectile isn't everything that makes a zoner great, Quan's projectiles are slower than most of MKX's kast yet he outzones everyone thanks to fast Runes. Do you remember why you don't only rune them the whole time but put the bat or an air skull on the screen as soon as you get some time to breath?!That is why you have to put something on the screen besides you fast options. Orbs, healing or damaging ankh etc. Repeating one fast option can't keep somebody out for good, and if it can than it is broke and will eventually be nerfed.
In my opinion only seeing how all character's tools work in unison can give you an idea of how good of a zoner he is going to be. Right now we can only speculate since all the frame data, damage, health regen. and meterbuilding numbers are a subject to change.

true, but speed sure helps

How is p2w the rationale one in this discussion. I applaud you sir.

 

[Tundra81]

little did we know zoning was gonna be absolute in this game lol.

Can't wait till Inj2 is done so we can start to focus on MK11.

Gonna be a long 2 years for you my friend.

Wasn't like that on twitter after Grodd breakdown lawl

I like Injumstice so I don't really mind but I prefer MK.

Fate has to watch his ass in terms of Supergirl. Thats why he's my second. And soraking from what little experience I have with Inj2 she can punish a FUCKING LOT OF SHIT. I clip Superman on reaction, he has no chance but to go it. Fate's MB projectiles will be nigh unuseable against a two bared Supergirl.

That his most obvious weakness. Cross up teleports are meant to be that way.


However I do believe the Ankhs will be able to be used midcombo, as in us one of those high lifting strings into Ankhs.

So basically using them during animations to extends combos off of basic string.

Think if Adam could extend his electic shock animation with all three orbs being fired allowing for a pop up into a combo finisher.

I saw no mention of MB Ankhs so I'm worried.

Either to broke to mention or doesn't exist.

Also fuck Grodd

@General M2Dave

Can and should a new thread be made for the academy?

Yes, for Injustice 2.

There is lack of information and much speculation. When the game is released, we can discuss the characters and zoning in detail.

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

Poison Ivy is looking like a strong zoner.

Time will tell, drill could be good

 

[gibster13]

Deadshot tho

Gap between EXlowgun could be an issue ?

I really want to see more of his instant air gun because it looked like very little recovery

Gap is not confirmed, I think.

With his regular bf1 being so good and with so fast recovery, I don't think instant air guns will even be important for him.

 

[gibster13]

Gap is not confirmed, I think.

thank god lol

And so begins the anti-zoning zealotry...

Thanks to @SneakyTortoise for bringing this video to my attention.

God Damn anti zoning propaganda

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Oh god, he couldn't get Deadshot's name right the first time lol

 

[SaltShaker]

Oh god, he couldn't get Deadshot's name right the first time lol

Or the second time. Then apologized for getting it wrong later. Such failure symbolizes the actual statements in his video.

Game isn't even out and we already have to deal with the tears.

 

[Baconlord]

Fun fact. Max called deathstroke a zoner in previous videos

 

[gibster13]

Why doesn't he complain about the rushdown,mixups and damage of all the other characters the spaz.

IMO deadshot and fate are the only true zoners, and apparently Fate isn't even that good at all because his orb is so slow lol.

It baffles me the bias of these big youtbers who hate on one thing because they dont like it or cant do it.

You never see a "too much rushdown," video, unless it's something that is completely broken like pre-patch tanya oralien or a 50/50 meta.

If he gets nerfed because nuggets cant get in, I will stage a sit-in at NRS studios where all zoners will unite.
