The Zoning Academy (Mortal Kombat X Edition)

GGA Max · Apr 4, 2015

I will likely give necromancer zoning a shot. Bane was a rush down / footsies character, not anti zoning so my application should get approved.

Also, I'm assuming Wound Cowboy will be a champion of this organization as well? Anyone know if he's going in with Shang's spiritual successor, Shinnok?

Do full screen pies and accidentally fired gunshot dash cancels count?

Do I have to be a zoner to support zoning?

Kung Lao.

Blackula · Apr 4, 2015

Why would you even want to do that

Am not joining straight away as I don't know who my main will end up being, but right now I'm looking at missiles and gunshots with Cassie and Sub Zero.

Are projectile zoning specialist only allowed? I love zoning, but I also love rushing that shit down. Are you guys gonna be zonists and only allow pure zoneEEs in your zonedom? @General M2Dave

Yeah, what about people like me that prefer rush down, but can still zone just as well as anyone else?

MKF30 · Apr 4, 2015

Will be using lots of Ermac(MOS), Kung Jin(ancestral) and Displacer Raiden and zone the fuck out of people lol.

Dave, which rush down fools and anti-zoning zealots is the zoning academy targeting first?

I am personally targeting all Martian Manhunter players who thought they were godlike for (barely) winning 7:3 match ups.

Almost all modern zoning characters are not pure zoning characters. I say every player who zones at least 50% of time is permitted to enter.

@General M2Dave I think you will like Quan Chi, zoning is strong. Will you be looking at Cybernetic Kano?

Yes.

Your rush down has always been one of the very best, but your zoning (with Zod at least) is ass.

Brutal Chimney · Apr 4, 2015

so is this thread going to be useful or is it just going to be M2Dave stroking his boner for zoning?

Obviously.

But I will keep the Zoning Academy and its old and new members updated with insights about zoning and zoning characters.

unsure how you can blanket that info across all zoaners but ill stick around to see whats happening. keep in mind zoaning doesn't necessarily mean perpetual keep away at full screen though.

would be nice if cybernetic kano had the same range as Erron and Takeda, but ive heard its actually quite short and slow unfortunately. not the shortest but not exactly far enough to avoid a lot either which kind of defeats the purpose of eye beams imo. hopefully im wrong having as grappler and mid-zoaner in one character would be quite convenient for me.

-sigh- all these mid range characters is making me miss Ken

cyke_out · Apr 4, 2015

I mid screen zone. I keep people at toe length with bison. I use long reaching normals, quick specials and anti airs to maintain my half screen buffer zone. I sonic boom and spinning back fist. I flying Grayson and d1 and ground pound. I wiff punish with Miguel's twin pistons, shoulder charge and standing 4.

Full screen keep away is cool if that is your thing, but I usually distinguish them from mid range footsie zoning.

I mained kano in mk9. Night wing in injustice, with a pocket DD cuz I'm not a masochist I'm looking at cut throat kano since he has more reach with his knife normals and hopefully, good mobility and anti airs, plus what might be a decent projectile, to get into the mid range and stay there.

Will the council forgive my DD sins and allow a mid range zoner in?

might as well lock this thread until DLC comes out

Good point.

There will probably not be a very good zoning character until DLC is released. If there is one on day one, everybody already knows how that plays out.

SLy · Apr 4, 2015

Zoners who tried every trick in the book and still lose. I live for those moments. Bring it on.
