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

[RizRaz]

Zod's phantom can be parried whenever it attacks. The phantom disappears and Zod gets hit by the parry.

That's whacked out. I thought you were saying that Zod's parry was beating out trait attacks like Catwoman's.

Man I hope that the parry thing isn't intentional, that's weird.

So where do you think guys zod will be on tier list ? I think upper mid / top tier

I know its too early but you can see if character is bad or good ( when lobo was realeased after few hours it was obvious hes shit , same with scorp but he was top until today )

I'd say Mid-Tier. I'm already seeing problems with Zod sadly.

 

[regulas]

His fastest starter is Ground blast at 8 frames low hit.

 

[Omgzilla]

Care to elaborate mulder? I'm asking because I've only been in the lab with him. Biggest issue I see is his lack oh a combo or opener that leads into B3 for setups (unless I'm missing something).

 

[regulas]

The only thing I don't get is what does his meter icon from? i? I'm assuming that is some kind of reference to a comic somewhere

You need to use MB to get B3 into combo's see the combo thread if you want to know some.

Zod is siiiiiicccckkkkk. Stop downplaying

His Ground Blast is pretty unreliable and so is his rifle unless it's Meter Burned. I must say thought that his Zod Charge is godlike. It's very good defensively and offensively. I see him as either low high tier or high Mid-tier.

 

[Skitzo]

Using Zod Charge to punish approaching dashes is awesome.

Note, you can iazc (lol) & it will still hit them, granted it says the start up is 1f, i say thats not bad

It's also good to note that Zod Charge appears to win in trades, you'll still take damage but you do the full charge+MB if you selected it.

 

[Skitzo]

The pushback of mb ground blast is duuuuumb lol

 

[Mulder]

Ground Blast is incredibly flawed. It's not even worth it's godlike Meter Burn because if your opponent doges it you're left wide open.

You're asking about the little "i" looking thing right? That's a kryptonian militaristic house symbol. Zod wore that symbol in the "Last Son" storline. Kind of the S-shield that Superman has.

And to slightly twist a Man of Steel quote, It's not an "i".

 

[RizRaz]

Anybody else noticed that the description for Zod's parry is that it 'counters most high and overhead attacks'

Tried this on a DS. Nothing on overheads, but it parries mids and highs.

 

[Omgzilla]

So anybody have any preliminary MU numbers or ideas about who he excels or struggles against?

Zod is amazing against Doomsday. I have a feeling characters like Flash will give Zod problems.

 

[TJ Casters]

I'd say he excels against Harley for sure. That's all I got so far. DS matchup is a bit tricky with all the guns. So many guns, I don't even know which ones are mine.

I completely disagree. It's not as good in zoning as Black Adam's low lightning, since it doesn't track and has a long animation if it whiffs, but it's +15 on block and with 4 different ranges you can throw it at, it's going to be a staple part of Zod's zoning.

I think with time and work, Zod will be just below top tier (Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Black Adam). He's going to favour set ups and intelligent play. His trait works like Batman's crossed with Sinestro's, and that alone makes his potential very high. If B2 were an overhead and Wrait could attack quicker on summon, he'd be set.

Yup, that'd be it.

I really like this guy's play style. There are soooooo many setups and options. Yet nothing really strikes me as broken or overpowered he SEEMS pretty balanced. There won't be a huge zod bandwagon because he requires a lot of thought and patience.

Fortunately. Thank god they didn't make him so good as to pull in literally everybody.

im really impressed with zods design i must say he has great comboability by the looks of things 8)

 

[regulas]

We got zod, Discuss

Shouldn't the title now have a quote "Kneel Before Zod" (his throw) or else a clash quote now?

 

[TJ Casters]

Yeah, I'd really like a cheesy quote as the title. PWEASE?
