Match-up Discussion Becoming the Pope - The General Zod Matchup Thread

[Pig Of The Hut]

Pig would know, the frame data at times is innaccurate, but I may be wrong. AK Pig Of The Hut

I always use f2 because if you block an attack then punish w b1 a lot of times due to the games buffer system u get a ZOD ball

F2 reach is best and is meaty ish

B1 I think is 12 frames and I use it w trait mix ups up close

I can't even work on my characters peacefully online without my bros going straight to the forums and posting match results.... i guess we have to go into tournament mode... i'm never sleeping in a bed wiht james again

I don't know what was more funny... James taking up like 90% of that bed or Steve randomly calling security.

Thoughts on the NW MU? It's one of the very few MUs I have rarely played.

I would like to play Pig but he hasn't been on in like two weeks ;_;

I only have your Zod of the Hut account on my list, so that's probably it.

I changed it to ChiefCochese from ChongoIsFree, if thats what you mean.

Tomorrow would be the best, I have a page essay to write about a fucking pebble. I feel really retarded writing it. If tomorrow doesn't work I'll try to sneak on in a bit.

Can't wait to kneel before you.

EDIT: I agree with 6-4 Zod, I don't think NW wins the MU.

sorry I just haven't really been playing much Zod recently

I think it's mostly his lack of footsies that have been turning me off lately

Rushing down Aquaman with the trait is fruitless. Tom just activates trait and holds back. You get no mix ups.

So just zone and 50 50 ?

Even if low laser connects he gets trait and grab is punishable

 

[Colonel-Gilgamesh]

And don't forget that Trait vs Trait is in Zod's favor, since Aqua can't Stop your combo when he's bitten with Trait if you're smart

Also punish with s3, since that's one hit launch and leads to stuff. That move is super underappreciated.

Aquaman's trait does not work on fully charged low laser and bite combos when executed properly.

Bite is punishable, indeed. He gets 20% + knock down. If bite connects, Zod gets 40% + knock down. The mix up is in your favor.

I either do the mix up or fill the screen with force balls and end with MB low laser + more force balls to waste time for the trait.

I have beaten all Aquaman players who have tried to out turtle and/or out zone me, including Tom and Theo. However, when the fools start playing footsies, I start losing. Zod cannot compete with b+1,2, which leads to 40% combos and 45% combos with background interactable objects, so I see no point in rushing down. You cannot afford to lose that much damage in this match because winning becomes very, very difficult.

youre guaranteed a zod ball after mb laser blocked?

 

[M2Dave]

No.

But they cannot react to a fast force ball. They have to mash FTD.

I also believe if you trade with a regular FTD, trait activation is guaranteed.

Ok so i was playing with a friends friend(yes thats what i said) in a Koth and they were in a party when my turn came up i went with Zod and he went with Bane in the first round he got the jump on me and took my first bar but i then being to space him out and i end up winning so i join the party and the first thing i hear is " Get outta here scrub from my friend who boots me from the party and then his friends list now did i really scrub him out or did i play a smart match cause i dont think Zod has many good up close against Banes Armor grab and Double punch so can someone set me straight on this matter so if i am a ***hole or my ex-friends friend is just a whiny *****

[Marcus]

You cant scrub your way with Zod. Youll get bodied.

 

[SquirtMcGirt]

Yeah since I've really been using him exclusively I feel like zod is a MAIN. Like pocket zod wouldn't cut it lol.

Where do I sign up to join the Zod Army? I can now visualize this characters strengths and think he's awesome. I have named my wraith "REPTILE" because he give Wafflez nightmares still to this day. Hopefully there is no hazing involved to join this fraternity.
