Match-up Discussion Anything but mediocre! The Zod Pictorial Match Up Chart

[Pig Of The Hut]

I fought a zod who did the bite and cancelled his lazer into a dash grab. Caught me off guard.

That's either me or Dave

It's very deceptive

I think u mean swipe then cancel

Sorry, yeah.

I've never played Dave, and I think it was you. One of the two times we played I think.

Ahh. Clicking these threads is like opening gifts at.christmas.

I always do well against B Wizz's Zod. I thought it was because his Zod wasn't that great, but after his showing at WNF it seems his Zod is pretty solid so maybe that is just a difficult match up for Zod

To be fair its actually been quite awhile since we've played that matchup at all. I placed better than I thought I would at WNF, my Zod play was hella sloppy because I was playing nothing but green arrow for like a week.

There's a lot Bwizz doesn't do yet and it'll take time

I can do all his standard stuff pretty consistently but haven't got too deep into the trait recharge combos, and my trait game in general probably needs a facelift.

That was my feeling too(about B Wizz and the match up) but I can't blow up the guy who out placed me that at last tournament we were both at. I think he thinks it's 5-5 or slight advantage Ares.

It's probably even, I think one of Ares strengths in that MU is being able to run away from the trait with tele.

I am not convinced. Nightwing's anti-zoning tools are solid against Zod and Nightwing's small standing hitbox makes instant aerial Zod balls useless. Nightwing is also better up close.

If you want to experience something that is "at least 6:4", use Black Adam or Grundy on Zod.

7-3 ZODZOD

Like I said it's not even.

@General M2Dave Your match up chart is very confusing to me. What is the Match up for Catwoman?

 

[Sami]

im like an idiot i dont get the MU chart is it like if its to the left at the top its more 6:4 in zods favor?

@General M2Dave Your match up chart is very confusing to me. What is the Match up for Catwoman?

The higher the character, the easier it is for Zod to win. The lower the character, the harder it is for Zod to win. Left to right is just alphabetical (per row).

It loooks like the only thing keeping zod from being the closest thing to kabal is mmh.
Thank you based martian.

Just so Pig doesn't have to get into it again, i'll lay it out. Zod's trait is pretty much worthless when Sinestro has trait (which is quite often against Zod). Zod gets outzoned because MB FB and Boulder can't be crouched and do more damage than any of Zod's projectiles. Sinestro also has decent air control and can shut down Zod's attempts at trying to stay in the air and get projectiles on screen. Sinestro also punishes Zod's only real mixup (overhead trait grab) with 34% into a vortex setup. I think it's at least 6-4 in Sinestro's favor.

Isn't MB FB and Zod's MB SA the same damage?

 

[Blind_Ducky]

So does Ravens placement on here mean 5-5 or 6-4 Zod? These picture charts are stupid.

Just so I'm reading this right you have Grundy vs Zod: 4.47 - 5.53 with Zod winning? I'll take it.

 

[AK rtd]

Wound Cowboy's exceptional talent skews the match up charts for Sinestro IMO. it's probably best not to factor his results into any of these MU analysis.

to make things more interesting though, Wound Cowboy could pick up Zod and we could see if any of the top Sinrstros can beat him. such a challenge would rule out Wound Cowboy's X-factor.

5-5

ZOD beats Grundy either 6-4 or 7-3

Don't compare chip guaranteed mid hitting moves to duck able punishable highs

MMH could be 5-5

Sinestro is his hardest MU next is flash

 

[EMPEROR_JUPITER]

Emperor Jupiter does not fight the match correctly. Any Martian Manhunter player who attempts to zone Zod fights the match wrong.

lol i never approach zod i turtle him out. why go in..

 

[ETC AdmiralAugustus]

ZOD beats Grundy either 6-4 or 7-3

I didn't think there was any 7-3's or 3-7's on that chart. Isn't the range 4-6 to 6-4? I know Zod should win tho

Oh I see. Didn't know it was 0% chip.

So Zod has to not only work harder in his normal game (execution, etc.) and take risks up close, but he loses the zoning battle. Damn. If it's not 3-7 then it's close.

 

[Crimson Panther]

What does MMH do to be his worst MU?
