General Zod Early Gameplay Information from E3

[ryuandken24]

Sounding like Freddy 2.0 to me...I hope...

Hope so since fred was my mk9 main.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Hope so since fred was my mk9 main.

He's a co-main of mine too (along w/Kung Lao).

 

[M2Dave]

Deathstroke officially useless if Zod is good?

 

[regulas]

Finally enough has been revealed about him. He seems to be a pure zoner, most of his up close abilities seem to give you back distance, even his throw and parry knock them back a good chunk. And he has a parry that is the interesting part, a zoner with a parry.

You sound like you've gotten your hands on him, or seen something of him? I don't remember seeing those notes about his normals anywhere.

GIVE US MORE!

 

[Koor]

One Word; KNEEL

I'm sad to say this, but yeah.

From a zoning perception, that is...

 

[MashPotatoTower]

might be zoning heavy

 

[MorbidAltruism]

might be zoning heavy

That is what we are hoping for. The game could use some better zoners.

I don't think 10 frame pistols will ever be useless

 

[M2Dave]

I don't think 10 frame pistols will ever be useless

If Zod's pistol is anywhere between 10F-15F, Deathstroke may as well not even be in this game. He will be worthless.

What if the pistol only hits high? The real reason he may be useless is because Zod has a parry which just sounds amazing on a zoner.

yeah i tought that was kinda funny how they said it was useless after playing a couple rounds lol

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

That sounds fucking amazing. I honestly don't know whether to play him or Scorpion as a secondary now.

Same here. New character > MK9 Oni Hanzo.

 

[Tavaski]

Screw injustice, I'll wait for MK10, I gave injustice a fair enough try but the character movement and linear gameplay ruins it for me along with shitty DLC. Hope the ZOD fans won't be disappointed with their character.

Pistol will not be fast and hit high. It would be impossible to move forward.

 

[Dizzy]

I can predict the next month:

1. Zod is released and is another broken DLC char
2. m2dave says Zod may be top 5 but is balanced, has bad options up close, and loses to Scorpion
3. Zod is eventually toned down, m2dave will say he is Kano tier regardless of him still being top 5/top 10

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

FUCKING. HYPE.

KNEEL BITCHES!

 

[Vilén]

Still trying to imagine if Zod punches you "through" the moon like Doomsday's super move... or... Either way, his
super is going to make more sense than Doomsday's on the space station.

Or Hawkgirl's...

Hers is REALLY fucking funny on Atlantis too.

My predictions:

1. Zod is released and is another top 5 character.
2. GGA fears that m2dave and AK Pig Of The Hut will win tournaments, so they cry for "normalizations".
3. Zod gets annihilated and becomes mid tier. GGA claims he is still top tier.

 

[godlessmode]

I think it's a symptom of how lame my job is... but I find the little tiff between M2D and GGA to be high-larious.

 

[McNasty]

how about someone gets clever and snaps a pic of his move list so we can see how safe all of this is?

 

[chores]

it reminds me of those scenes in romantic comedies where the dude and the girl are yelling back and forth and it keeps escalating, then they kiss, and they are mad but god dammit despite themselves they enjoy it. then they give in to nature and their bodies become one

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

Am I the only person still playing Deathstroke?

Wtf?

Why have just one character with pistols that isn't Joker or Harley when you can have two?

 

[Ninj]

If Zod's pistol is anywhere between 10F-15F, Deathstroke may as well not even be in this game. He will be worthless to me because I don't understand how to use any of Deathstrokes other tools.

Fixed.

PS if anyone didn't understand m2daves mentality before, this is a perfect example. He writes off older characters in their entirety if a different character has a better version of a tool he bases his entire strategy around. And by one tool I mean one special - completely disregarding their normals, traps, footsie tools, combo damage. None of those matter, right?

Only full screen projectiles matter.

Looking forward to Zod being unbalanced and the hypocritical thread from you explaining why you like him and therefore why he's balanced and anyone who disagrees with your opinion-based "facts" is a "fool".
