Wow SO much hate. I never said I disagreed, it was just surprising to me. I never see Zero’s online, and Zero didn’t even make top 8 at EVO. And I’ve never seen Zero winning anything big for that matter. Again I use him and I know hes got some ridiculous stuff, but its confusing me as to why Zero isn’t winning anything because you guys are right, he is an excellent character. Maybe the right player hasn’t picked him up. Also for some interesting stats someone actually tallied the character usage for the top 32 at EVO and Zero was used like 12 times I think?
Wtf, they’re buffing him? Granted, there are times I ask myself, “Ok Mustachedude, how are you gonna get in on this bro? Oh yeah, BAZERKAR SLASH. Wait… You don’t have that… What about about a random dive kick? Yeah… You don’t have that either. Guess you’re gonna have to play some ol’ fighting game footsies and apply pressure where you can.” But that’s besides the point.
About the only great player I’ve seen in EVO using Zero is Marn. Zero to me is a big problem since I tend to have a blocking is for turtles mind set and I thought that as long is you can punch first it’s all good. Of course that’s stupid, and once you figure that out you try to block and try to punish, but wait he has almost no holes to punish with assist’s like Tron, Haggar, Akuma tatsu, and Ammy Coldstar :eek: So then you go, hmm I should zone him out, oh and a counter would be nice too, and valah I mained Taskmaster, problem solved
That Flocker guy placed higher than Marn and got within top 32 at Evo. Not sure how you could have missed him but seen Marn’s Zero get pooped on.Marn’s Zero isn’t that big of a deal anymore (he hasn’t been a big deal in general lately). I have like local players with better Zeros than Marn’s now.
I missed the semi-finals because I was out of town Good stuff though I’ll look that guy up. I almost feel like Zero still has some untapped potential somehow but a lot of his good tricks have already been figured out (more recently guaranteed TAC). With Marn I noticed his Zero is good but he dies super super fast. I know that just how Zero was built but the problem is is that unlike Ammy, his hitbox is much larger in comparison.
Zero is basically like Ammy without the ability to flood the screen with as much crap from super far range but literally going on twice as cheap once he gets within attacking range. He literally has the best close range game of any character in the game and against a good one you’re effectively dead if you let him get in. There’s just like nothing you can do if you let a good Zero get in. You just watch yourself die. Nobody can put more shit on the screen at mid or close range than Zero and in this game being top tier is mostly about how retarded your hit boxes are and he’s the king of that shit. Don’t have to worry about hit confirming or spacing when you have 30,000 hit boxes plus charged buster shot covering your whiffs and Tron assist covering your sneezes.
He doesn’t need tricks. His basic offense is better than everybody else’s. His normals and specials are better than Wolverines and his combos do more damage than his. He has a better zone game than a lot of the other cast especially with good assists. His hit boxes basically turn him into a walking dragon punch that hit confirms into TOD bnbs. With the right assists and smart use of command dashes he can put you in mix ups that you will pretty much never be able to block on reaction. Sogenmu gives him assistless unblockables also.
His only literal issues are his low health which most of the good characters in this game have low health so that’s not really that big of a deal. Other than that the only other issue literally is he doesn’t have a teleport or invincible command dash to instantly close the gap which gets him lamed out (but mostly by characters that aren’t even S tier themselves and not used as often in tourneys). When characters like Wolvie/Wesker/Magneto/Dante etc are running around being the other high tiers of the game Zero doesn’t have much of a problem having a better offense than basically all of them with the correct assists.
Does Random count as a character? Everyone gets me jumping, hard to hit some guys; others are strong when they finally DO hit you.
I feel like everyone has pros and no cons when the right people are using them, i guess…
I probably was out get something to eat, so I missed an hours worth, and yes Marn looks like he’s given up on trying at this game. Looks like he’s waiting for Ultimate now
He does seem to get really anxious when it’s his turn to play, and then when he faces a loss you can just feel the disappointment coming from him. Poor guy… Definitely sad to see him having such a hard time.
Ryu and akuma supers are crazy powerful So much salt over zero, he does die once he get touched or random akuma and ryu supers chip him half to death.
I don’t like dante i just dislike him but anyway i don’t really dislike characters except for pheonix as I do teams
Wesker
haggar lariat
dante
or anything that has wesker and dante in the same team
wesker
dante
sentinel
that is my ultimate salt team i wanna freaking throw my stick at the screen rather that go up against that shit online just typing about it is making me mad
I hate Dante just as much as the next guy, but I’ve seen so many people drop his combos to come to respect him. Wesker on the other hand… I’ve never seen anyone drop his combos unless they were trying, and his double OTG BnB builds about a meter and a half leading up into a Maximum Wesker brain dead DHC or pistol relaunch Team Hyper cancel. No me gusta.
he’s just talking about what annoys him… being akuma’s and ryu’s beams. I have to agree. Ryu one mistake vs him can lead to 2 dead characters. I remember I got mad salty one game vs akuma/ryu when i called my assist, and I got hit by ryu beam, dhc akuma beam, xfactor akuma beam, dhc ryu beam ._.
Good stuff though I’ll look that guy up. I almost feel like Zero still has some untapped potential somehow but a lot of his good tricks have already been figured out (more recently guaranteed TAC).
