Zod looks horrible. I figured I'd deal with it and most likely ignore it if he had a cool move set.. Nope. Only a handful of uses of his actual super powers. I like the idea of using weapons that phase in and out but aside from one shot of useless foot aimed heat vision and one grab attack there isn't much. His combo potential doesn't seem all that either. Felt sluggish compared to my Solomon Grundy play. I was hoping for a hyper aggressive kryptonian. Aside from the throw and super i don't like him much.

Hm, so I like how Zod's heat vision has not only a close, medium, and far version, but you can charge it which it becomes a pop-up attack if you do so long enough, and that's without using the meter burn variation.
The sidearm and Kryptonian Rifle are pretty cool and fresh looking compared to your usual "character with guns" in fighting games (sorry Deathstroke), and the MB Phantom Strike which temporarily puts the opponent in the Phantom Zone during a combo is friggin awesome! And I like how with Zod's trait, the Phantom Zone creature literally follows its victim around anywhere, which ain't really something that can be abused much because of the recharge time like with all character traits for the most part...

Sure, his combos can take some more getting used to than some other characters, but given time when learning more advanced ones with him and such, am sure I can become somewhere as good with Zod as some of my other mains.
I for one like his playstyle. A mixture of Kryptonian firearms and Phantom Zone abilities in addition to his usual Kryptonian superpowers is much more unique than if he had just been another Superman.
Oh, and his arcade ending was cool, though pretty much what you'd expect.

Is that right?And I thought we would've had more talk about Zod here besides just me liking his playstyle and Shackles not. Is he really disliked that much?
Indeed. I was actually surprised they are announcing the next so soon. Im assuming it will be Martian Manhunter. I gather this because of his mysterious close up when Scorpion was released.
Anyways I also enjoy him but I haven't played since his release so I don't have a lot to say about him.
With MM's stretchy arm attacks being like Dhalsim? I guess so, but it's a natural ability of his, so eh. I think the super is even better than when Ares turns giant during his, although having an attack or two where J'onn turns into that coiling dragon-esque form would've been nice as well. And I wonder if they'll change/update the J'onn model in the background of the Watchtower stage. Either way it'll be funny to play as this J'onn while seeing that abomination in the background. lol
I hardly use GL either but Stewart's the man. I'm already curious as to what the dialogue will be like when he and Hawkgirl engage in a clash.
What part of Martian manhunters power set are those projectiles being launched from top of the screen? I kind of expected more from his super. Becoming giant is cool but Ares already does it and given his shapeshifting ability alot more could of been done. I also don't get why he turns into the person he is fighting for two hits.
