Rank the top 10 zoning variations in order

[Peckapowa]

flick/ground thing still kinda have shitty tracking, it's better than before but ehh. Boneshaper is wayyyy better lol

as a character yes??

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

okay we understand, shinnok is a beast, its purely because of hell sparks though. without hell sparks, he doesn't have frame traps, he doesn't control space well. It's all hell sparks and i overlooked that, which is why i considered necro over it, because atleast necro has flicks that aren't duckable.

did you quote the wrong post? Because i was just confirming saltshakers thoughts so...

 

[DownfouralitY]

as a character yes??

As a character and as a zoner..

 

[StealthyMuffin]

Lasher is #1 zoner
Lol jk
It's funny cuz he sux

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

as a character yes??

boneshaper has barely any recovery on his little rod of goodness hellsparks to control the jumps and the unblockable to make you impatient

 

[JDM]

I think hish qu is superior to summoner in terms of zoning. Both are very strong.

Idk, I play both and strictly zoning-wise I gotta say Summoner Quan is better.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Lasher is #1 zoner

 

[SaltShaker]

as a character yes??

As a zoner too. Like I said earlier, Necro's toolset works much better in theory than its actual application due to its crappy implementation into the game, where as Bone Shaper's works muchhhhhh better in matches.

Idk, I play both and strictly zoning-wise I gotta say Summoner Quan is better.

i do too, i think summoner is better full screen, but i think hish qu is better midscreen for zoning

 

[M2Dave]

Bone Shaper Shinnok, Hish-Qu-Ten Predator, and Summoner Quan Chi are top 3 zoning characters who are also top 10 characters.

Tremor deserves an honorable mention. b,f+2 is lightning fast. It is simply too quick for the human mind to react to.

I agree that summoner quan and HQT predator are the top two, but I think the rest are highly debatable.

Hqt predator
Summoner quan chi
Bone shaper shinnok
Royal storm kitana
Sorcerer quan chi
Necromancer shinnok
Cyber kano
Liu kang
Full auto Jacqui
Vicious ferra/torr (think tremor can zone just as well if not better)

Just stopping in to halt the Jacqui up play, especially her ZONING. Massively overrated when considering offline play. The words "duck and punish" can't be emphasized more than her guns. She can't even shoot them at all in some MU's if the opponent knows what he's doing against it. Jacqui's "zoning" is average, at best. Her 50/50's and corner setups are about her only "good" things.

Also, Bone Shaper's "zoning" is one notch away from elite. To some it is elite.

Well zoning is about controlling space and her guns make her control the space pretty well. Her guns are armour breaking so the opponent has to duck and slowly advance. Has to. At full-screen she controls the pace of the game and forces the opponent to play her game. That's enough to warrant that she has good zoning in my books. No she's not going to win by just using projectiles or anything but that's not what zoning is about in my opinion. Not everyone can have fast mid hitting knifes

 

[Awkward Sloth]

The Pyro Tanya upplay in this thread. Lol

 

[Vithar]

@Peckapowa I will give my list in no particular order.

HQT , Summoner and Sorc , Boneshaper (All in no particular order).

I still have hopes in Balanced but as people that are ''better'' than me mentioned - bf3 is like 1 sec rec on whiff ... and db4 can be reacted at least with block if no run.
So .. basicaly if the opponent reads your EX Karmas / Pushes ... and has the reflex for the df3 and db4 ... it's like -30-40% for you.

Also for the people asking about ''Necromancer'' - the only thing you get is ''Summon Fiend'' that extends your Combos for 1 bar..
Do not ever speak about Flick or Judgement Fist.

 

[Predannok]

1. Hish Qu Ten
2. Summoner Quan

swap this one and im aiight, Hish qu ten has better zoning due to the unmatched recovery and the speed and range it covery But as soon has summoner has his bat out he beats everyone with the huge amount of frame advantage from fullscreen and the threat of the bat.

Hey, I'm just happy people are finally wise enough to not call him a "Top 5 zoner" anymore. Only thing Kano is Top 5 in being is a character who doesn't have a single aspect of his gameplay being Top 5 in anything.

 

[Pan1cMode]

1. HQT Pred
2. Boneshaper Shinnok
3. Summoner Quan
4. Royal Storm Kitana
5. Mournful Kitana
6. Pyro Tanya
7. Hunter Pred
8. Balanced Kenshi
9. Cybernetic Kano
10. Full auto Jacqui/Necro Shinnok

 

[XxTheGoblinX]

Mournful Kitana zoning is crazy
