Followed by guns that can't hit anything.

You accidentally a verb there.

 

[zaf]

Sinestro will be the kenshi of this game.

 

[Juggs]

Sinestro will be the kenshi of this game.

I agree with this.

 

[Neclord]

Green Arrow.
I think we will see a lot of Green Arrow players online, cause cheap zoning moves and everyone wants to be Legolas.

Oh god so annoying, he will sit in the corner all day long and shooting arrows with dem online lag tactics and trollface while I try to get in with Hawkgirl.
I'm so mad right now, I am raging so hard. Broken...

Aquamans stuff reminds me of Freddy, if thats a hellspike kinda thing he has, and it looks like he has projectile immunity like Jade (but cant move)

 

[Death]

... annoying zoning character in this game? With the addition of push blocking it seems the typical zoning character that lacks a good reversal will have a way to create some space.

anyways... i play Sim in AE and love calculated zoning characters. Anyone have any objective insight on this?

You disgust me

the eternal war between rush down and zoning... i can guess which side your on

After watching the PAX East gameplay, Deathstroke looks to have great tools with dealing against multiple forms of approach.

Prior to PAX I was all for Green Arrow but now Im just gonna have to wait for other media or release to make my final decesion.

 

[Sasarix]

my vote is for Deathstroke and Cyborg and maybe Black Adam too

Deathstroke vs Wonderwoman PAX East

Watching the gameplay from the PAX stream it looks like Green Arrow and Deathstroke are going to be solid zoners. You don't really need to say much about arrow since his tools are obvious where he can do things like hold and cancel his arrows while standing or jumping. Deathstroke has a high, low, and anti air projectile with his straight line gunfire that hits multiple times and will probably be annoying to get around. It kind of reminds me of Amaterasu's fireballs from her down down heavy stance. They hit multiple times so they are good for stuffing armor moves if you space yourself properly. Arturo demonstrated that on stream over the weekend by stuffing a super move.

Cyborg has a pretty quick projectile and a zip line that can move him full screen in either direction so he might be a candidate too, but will probably be more of a mix of play styles I think.

Green Lantern was one of the dirtiest in the PAX build, for sure. He has a mean keep-away/range game. This is added to the fact that he can trap you pretty quickly ermac-style once you wander into midrange. His air-to-ground missile can keep people in check as they try to get in, and that machinegun move is pretty beastly from fullscreen due to the duration.

The fun thing about Green Arrow is that he has all kinds of mindgames in his zoning game. So you can fake a standing shot and then shoot off a quick crouching shot, or fake a standing shot to bait a jump and then angle up and AA. That arrow he shoots at the ground while he hops away can be used repeatedly to move away while building meter, and it also keeps his hitbox off the ground so that certain low projectiles whiff.

But there are a number of good zoners in the game and they all have different styles.

A lot of characters have very good mobility though, and can close distance very quickly from about midscreen. Certain characters are pretty hard to keep out. Also there are a lot of midranged moves that help even the ground vs. zoners once you get to a certan distance, like catwoman's whip, wonder woman's lasso (of truth!), batman's slide and grappling hook, people's divekicks and dives (combined with airdashes in some cases). So I think the zoning and antizoning game will take time to evolve and be fully explored, just like it did with Kenshi/Kitana/Kabal.

I think that Cyborg will be the most annoying zoner because of that escape rope move.

Unless he has invincibility frames you should be able to hit him out of it/as he comes down(with a projectile, etc.) so I don't think it'll be a free panic move.

You should be more worried about Deathstroke laughing at your block button while he rapes your armor.

I didn't know that Deathstroke can ignore defense! Man, that makes him the most dangerous character on the game!

His character trait makes gunshots unblockable for a short period of time, followed by another short period where all gunshots whiff no matter what.

man... i am hearing good things about sinestro. good stuff on the info guys. I cannot wait to get my hands on the game.

 

[Deleted member 5032]

Deathstroke, from the looks of it. Deadpool+Vergil = Hatemail.

 

[THTB]

I've been hearing Sinestro is the Dhalsim of the game, with a Kenshi-esque overhead rock, and Dudley's SFxT overhead.

In other words, a perfect character for P2W.

As is the case with Skarlet, 'annoying' and 'effective/damaging' are two different things in Injustice
