Why is Zod top 5 ?

[SaJa]

I just would like to know why some of you guys think Zod is one of the best character in the game.

I actually don't know a lot about Zod, I do play him for fun, but I never play against him lol.

It seems that you are more than I expected thinking Zod is top 5 so

 

[miloPKL]

me too, why top 5?

i think there are more characters in the IGAU top 5 than the MK top 5.

 

[Name v.5.0]

I honestly don't think he is. He's top 10 easy though. I don't think he has any bad matchups or even uphill battles, but I only know what I've read.

 

[DownfouralitY]

I guess we'll have to wait for AK Pig Of The Hut to respond.

 

[Colonel-Gilgamesh]

Because tools

 

[GGA Max]

How does he do against kabal?

[Pig Of The Hut]

Top 5 damage
Top 2-3 mix ups
Top 2-3 trait
2 bad MUs IMO so far ......and they might not be bad
Zoning
Rush down
Set ups
Top 8 mobility
Top 5 air control
Top 5 AA damage
48% full screen 1 MB combo
55% 1 MB close screen combo
7-8 sec trait regeneration
W trait owns your face for free w interactables and there isn't a f ing thing u can do
3 frame parry stops most FTs
D3 goes under black Adam d1 lightning and superman f23 and pig on pig stage , etc
Trait grab is a 10 frame 44%-53% on block punisher from anywhere on screen
15% guaranteed chip w trait
Fast meter builder
Traps out the ass
Most people who try to use him will go donkey raped cause he takes a lot of time effort and skill unlike some characters in this game, he's top 3 hardest to play IMO at max capacity and skill level in all MUs and most will never understand why he's great cause they constantly get blown up
And because I f ing said so ....

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Because he always wins.

 

[Zyphox]

there are like 12 characters in IGAU top 5 and the rest except for 3 characters are top 10...............

 

[Minh Giang]

Cuz AK Pig Of The Hut rapes everyone with him.

 

[xenogorgeous]

because people kneel before Zod, plus Pig's statement about the top 5 reasons = badass

You also forgot:
Trait Grab trades favorably with almost everything ever.
Max Screen Mixups into full combos.
Air control really top 1 in my opinion. Especially if you factor in trait.
Swag combos are enabled

Neutral Jump Setups into full combos.

[RunwayMafia]

His trait alone is hella solid...it forces you to stop and they can literally take control of the match.

 

[PANDA]

And because I f ing said so ....

Sufficient answer by itself

Please tell us who!

Cuz AK Pig Of The Hut rapes everyone with him.

Not everyone!

Ok pig. You can't blame me for playing this up. This is two years of NW vs Kenshi in the making.

Grundy > Zod

But i love Pig's Zod #BibleThump.

 

[Marcus]

I think one of the bad matchups is Grundy.. am I right AK Pig Of The Hut ?

Possibly yes

I have to say though it very well may turn 5-5
I got some stuff

 

[snort]

Hell no. Good laugh though.

Cant trait grab from walking corpse armor
same goes to combos so I cant rush down (thats more of my play style btw)
I think you cant parry walking corpse as well

I can zone him out pretty good though but thats about it. I cant really rush him down even when the trait is there.
Show us the stuff

Ill record w fly and others

ZOD has to completely run away and interactable and trait up all day w side arm MB shots and b3 MB

MU is just annoying cause I can't do anything I want to do or designed to do

All I want to do w zOd is rush your face down into the ground and bury u w rush down

GGA Dizzy might find this a bit odd
Ill tag Death for the fun of it

 

[The Duke]

I just brought Zod.
Show me some Phantom Wraith swag.

 

[Desperado]

I think one the flaws Zod have is his trait activation i find it a little bit slow, but he is definetly top 5.
I wonder if His MoS skin was scrapped or what there is no new news about that skin.

 

[RenegadeVA]

I'm sorry. Until someone gets at least top 8 w/ this dude, I'm not biting.

Yeah, he's "hard to play", but until its doable in action, it's just theory fighter.
