"I win. I always win." - The Official General Zod Discussion Thread

[Colonel-Gilgamesh]

I dunno. Restrictive as it might be, I think it'd be better if it were easier. Zod's moves and playstyle are rather restrictive as it is.

best combos for online? i stuggle to get his max damage ones online what are the best when there is a bit of delay?

I use these in lag:
213~DB2 MB, BF2
F21~DB2B MB, Ji3, BF3

Both aren't optimum, but are easy to hit in lag. They both get around 30%

F2,1,U2; KrptCanon; J2, 1,2 Zod Laser Close MB, dash, 1,2,3-Zod charge. Easy 40 percent

F2,1,U2; KrptCanon; J2, 1,2 Zod Laser Close MB, dash, 1,2,3-Zod charge. Easy 40 percent

yeah this is the one iv been using i know you can get 3 rifle shots but its tricky with delay ill just stick to this combo for now

 

[The Farmer]

yea if I feel the connection is good, I'll risk a 2nd Krpt rifle shot, but to be safe I sub it with a J2.

 

[R3CK3Dx]

yeah do you do the slow one then the normal speed or what?

 

[The Farmer]

Yes, out of F2, 1, U2 I start with Slow KryptRifle, then J2 (Immediate)RegularKryptRifle. If your feeling lucky you can immediate dash, immediate j2, to immediate Fast KrypRifle but the window has absolutely no room for error. I think I've only pulled the 3rd rifle in practice mode. I use all three only in the corner online.

 

[R3CK3Dx]

yeah when i started using zod i done the normal then fast one always dropped it just making sure i was doing it right now yeah the conrer i use all 3 as you only need to neutral jump

Im begging to think Batgirl is Zods worst MU

 

[R3CK3Dx]

i stuggle vs black adam but who doesnt? also judging by pig of the huts zod vs playing to win and woundcowboys sinestros it looks like that is a bad matchup

I think so, I do well against BG's. F2 strings can punish her smoke bomb. Trait keeps her grounded. Also Zod's j1 is godlike, you can bait a smoke and hit her out of the air with it.

Yea its tough, but do-able, just have to play really clean. You need to trait when he traits and interrupt his charging time for it.

 

[IrishMantis]

Yeah but getting the trait out is the problem,,, once she's in, she's in, zods d1,2 whiffs on most of her shit,,, so prepare for the cion flip frenzy

Yea, you can get the trait out on projectile confirm, but that's about it.

 

[IrishMantis]

haha and thats pistol shots,,, if you dare to go Fire balls, watch Rain BGs from the sky,,,

soon as i switch to BA, its not so bad anymore haha

 

[The Farmer]

I hear ya. The jump back j1 tactic works for me, BG's don't expect it.

who is a good secondary for Zod? besides superman/black adam i refuse to play them anymore

I still stick with DS when I go against Supes, BA, AM, Ares, Cyb, HG, Sin. Just not confident in my scrub Zod

 

[R3CK3Dx]

hmmm not su

hmmmm not sure i like DS but hes not my fav lol and for the batgirl matchup i heard you can duck all her cartwheel options

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

More useless discoveries from me (maybe even already known). If Zod is close enough to an opponent, Enkidu swipes could be Pushblocked. And Pushblockign an Enkidu Grab causes the glitch to happen. Lazers can be Pushblocked too.

This means no Interactable hogging at close-ranges, no more D12 x Close Lazer MB on block.

Doomsday. To give your brain a well needed rest

LOL i was thinking about using doomsday i like his look but i might go braindead playing him

 

[Phosferrax]

I've been thinking on some Zod strategy so I'm curious what those that are more advanced with him think of the following.

Do you guys think it's better to finish a combo off early in which you can get a hard knock down, like 123, just so you can get trait out; or take max damage and bring out our little friend after?

I know that's kind of relative to situation but just in general how do you guys approach that?

123 into trait I think. You can guarantee you get trait out and you're in a strong positon after 123, where as doing a combo and the getting trait out neither gives you the best position to use trait or guarantee you can get it out.

If you go braindead, switch back to Zod. Simple
