Top 3 Rushdown & Zoners?

Not really, just requires you to not fuck up completely :p

IMO it's not too useful. Requires level 3 and you shouldn't be at level 3 from full screen lol
Full screen isnt the only place you can be zoned lol, and in certain insistences you cant just block and dash(batman with bats out, cyborg using ianb). Its not just good against zoning, but regardless its a tool that nobody uses and I just like to assume its the execution that causes that and not good players disregarding a good tool

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Bane was always in top five rushdown in the game, and after the patch I feel he is exactly where RYX put him. I feel like the flaws he has have an easy way to get around, but the execution and risk it requires is more than any of the banes around are currently willing to do.

Also @R3CK3Dx lets get another set soon(a long one if you have the time), I really need to improve my dash spacing and work on implementing things Wetdoba and I see as critical for high level bane play. Too many people who dont really know the MU let me get away with dumb shit that effects my play in the long run and you never do that, ahah
Bane's not so much execution as he is the ability to read your opponent and footsie. He's all setups, punishes, and frame traps. The actual execution needed for his combos is some of the easiest in the game. I get by on just extending B23 over and over and then applying some wakeup traps. Execution heavy combos are more along what it takes to pull off good damage as GA using any arrow other than ice.

He's a fundamentalists character. Mike Ross would likely do alright with him if he came back IMO.

Raven (fuck her, seriously)
Cyborg
Zod

top 3 zoner is:

MMH
Sinestro
Zod.

As much as I like raven and as good as she is ( she is really solid, she is a bit underrated but not many people use her) there are just characters that are better at controlling space.

mmh - orbs + aerial strike, ground strike
sinestro - overall specials + trait
zod - ovrall specials + trait.

Raven has great specials, and her pillars in trait are amazing but these 3 characters just have better zoning.
She is easily a top 5 pick. But top 3? No, I dont think so.

Why the fuck are people putting Mmh in their top 3 in zoning.. if you can't get in on him because of his zoning you're just bad. His zoning is OK.. his anti zoning is godlike though as well as his footsies tools
i think his zoning is amazing orbs pillars and rocket things

more or less because he does what Ares does except doesn't suck dick at it

uses his antizoning to make you sit still and let him throw shit on the screen for a little bit, he builds pretty good meter and it sets him up for frame traps

Yea you can def make an argument that his anti zoning makes his zoning better. But I mean his zoning tools alone are average

Dude Martian Manhunter puts an orb up in front of you and then he pulls down from the sky a projectile that stuffs your jump. You dont get past that easily and he can set that up on top of you after every knockdown or moment of hesitation. He can setup the orb as a proximity mine as well and his trait + force push are great for pushing you back out into this mess and he's got other shit as well.

Its not exactly bullets flying horizontally like Zod or sinestro but that is one helluva Zoning game right there.

Here's Team Spooky breaking down a match Reo had that showcased a lot of it.
