Can't really downplay/up-play when we don't fully know what the character is capable of. And as for "best zoner in the game" I highly doubt it. In an all out zoning war, I can already see him losing to Deathstroke and Sinestro.
he beats deathstroke in zoning i guarantee it and pretty sure sinestro too without trait at least.. he zones like reptile but even better
Deathstroke's Quick Fire is 11F start up. You won't be able to use Kryptonian Rifle at all against him, he'll be able to react to it every time and beat the start up. I'd like to agree with you about the Reptile zoning, but Kryptonian Rifle has almost no block stun, so locking people down with Rifle isn't going to work.
from full screen all of his kryptonian rifles are plus on block even the fastest one.. you can easilly jump and do an ex rifle normal and gain zoning advantage and its over.. or you can trade with our pistol and get a ball out.. once he gets zoning advantae its over..
I completely disagree its only 4 frames slower startup than reptiles and reptile was one of the best zoners in mk.. plus he has much more zoning options than reptile..
The recovery frames on Rifle are waaaaaaaaaaaay too long to even compare it to Reptile. Reptile's Force Balls had a total animation time of 60 frames. Zod's Rifle recovery time is 100 frames.
This ain't MK.
I use Phantom Punch or the Rushing Tackle move, I forgot the name lol.
i was just testing out some of the phantom grab stuff and saw that it stops doomsday's supernova! it looks pretty weird since the phantom follows him up the air and gently brings him back down with the grab. i'm still working on the timing to see how late i can activate the grab.
His airborn rifle is VERY good jump and than do it as fast as you can Zod goes Kabal mode(well more or less).His charge is soooo good it make me fear they'll nerf him.
