The Zoning Academy (Mortal Kombat X Edition)

[Tony at Home]

Zoning has always made Max salty and everyone is aware of this. Looking at the comments on the video I'm actually encouraged by how many people understand Injustice gameplay is supposed to be heavily asymmetrical.

You don't have a character focusedprimarily on zoning for it to still have ridiculous zoming characteristics. super girl/ superman/ and Harley all have very formidable zoning tools even though they also have upclose game. It's impossible to deny that

They have tools to zone, but to call them "ridiculous" is a stretch. "Ridiculous" would be Zod zoning, MMH zoning, Sinestro zoning. Are you really putting Harley or Supergirl in this category of zoning??? They have supportive zoning, but nothing outrageous.

But for sake of argument, let's say all 9 characters you listed are zoners. This is assuming none turn out like Balanced Kenshi when we play, and is in comparison to 20 other offensive characters on release who will likely have strong offensive options and a nearly Safe universal MB Roll. So even if your statement was 100% true, there would still be significantly less zoners in the game when counting the entire 29-30 man roster.

For you guys who didn't play the beta I don't think you realize how good MB roll is. It recovers super fast, I play Batman and it helped converting off of his trait bats. There were no pure zoners in the beta though, but it was super easy to get in on Supergirl, Superman, etc

I just want a Sinestro or Shinnok type char for Inj2. not sure who to main yet.

yea honestly there's is no point to discussing this until the game drops

Can anyone make a list of all the characters who have a teleport thus far? Even Darkseid has one. LOL.

Yea thats hilarious.

Darkseid.
Flash (side switch punch)
Grodd (projectile immune ability is even better)
Supergirl
Robin
Scarecrow
Swamp Thing

1/4 of the roster. Interesting that none of the zoning characters have one.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Darkseid may end up being a zoner. Most of these teleports aren't as good as an Ermac type teleport it seems, hope so at least. And at least mb roll costs recources. I'm just trying to be optimistic, maybe I'm just being foolish.

Darkseid tho
