Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Just squeezing a bit more juice from Zod, thought now's a good time to post since the MKX hype slowed down (which im hyped for)

Few things to note about this Vid
-Everything is Practical
-Everything requires trait (obviously)
-No preemptive balls needed
-All is only 1 Bar


As ya can see the first half im covering jump in combos, depending on what your using to jump, 2 or 3 ranges between 49 - 51%, plus its not an instant action, You can even connect it just about halfway through trait

Notations
JI2 - J12 11d2, 4 f2 Trait Grab, fwd dash x2 Neutral jump 2 (cross jump then neutral jump or neutral jump then cross jump) 112, MB close Laser, fwd dash, f2, 123, charge - 49%

Ji3 -J123 11d2, 4 f2 Trait Grab, fwd dash x2 Neutral jump 2 (cross jump then neutral jump or neutral jump then cross jump) 112, MB Close Laser, fwd Dash, 123 Push or Charge -51%
(Possibly Mid screen Max Damage with 1 bar, no preemptive balls, 56% with stage bounce lol)


In the 2nd half are high damaging BnBs, works best after 123 into Trait as those do need to be relatively fast, but, as you can see, if you miss big deal, you still have enough time for f2 50/50 or trait pressure, so imo opinion i think there practical

Notations
Low - f213, 4 B3 ji3, Trait Grab fwd dash x2 Neutral jump 2 (cross jump then neutral jump or neutral jump then cross jump) 112, MB Close Laser, fwd Dash, 123 Charge - 49%

(Corner) - f213, 4 B3 ji3, Trait Grab, parry (for timing and building Meter) Mb Slow Balls, jump 2 fast ball, jumping 2 Medium ball, 3 Push - 48
(You can switch 3, for ji3 charge for 49%)

Overhead 1 - 123, 4, Slow Ball, 4 B3, Fwd dash Cancel, Trait Grab, fwd dash x2 Neutral jump 2 (cross jump then neutral jump or neutral jump then cross jump) 112, MB Close Laser, fwd Dash, 123 Push or Charge 38%

Overhead 2 -123, 4, Slow Ball, Dash Instant trait cancel,fwd dash x2 Neutral jump 2 (cross jump then neutral jump or neutral jump then cross jump) 112, MB Close Laser, fwd Dash, f2, 123, charge 39%



Hopefully these help will come in handy for some :)

Cool shit, I'm gonna check these out. I think Zod is the most expressive character in the game, combo-wise.

Also your voice/accent is really soothing lol

Sorry missed your comment there

Speak to me son :D, you must know something i dont know
I love your bnb's very original stuff. On trait grab, just wiff a normal or wiff a throw/grab while the wraith has your opponent, then dash in and continue the combo. The wiffing normal or wiffed grab will reset the combo and rescale the damage from the top, so essentially its two combo's in one. Theres no escape from it once the wraith has your opponent in the grab. GA can do the same thing with ice arrows. you can get between 60-70 percent damage. SimSim and Pig showcased this tech awhile back, so I will not take credit for it.

Yes its guaranteed once they are in the bite/grab from the wraith. What I do is an instant J2 wiff as I am jumping to the opponent in the wraith grab. its important to do an instant J2 so that the attack wiffs before you land, then proceed with a combo while they are still being bitten. THere is enough of a window to do all of this. Depending of the spacing of the grab, you can jump straight over the wraith bitten opponent and with a J2 wiff and redirect your combo the other way if you want them to carry to a corner or other side of the screen.

They can block if you do this though. That's one pretty freakin' important part you left out. Lol.
