I know this is real scummy and super short notice but if I don't do it tomorrow I won't be able to do it for another week. That would just be too long to wait. So 360 tournament tomorrow, August 22nd at 10pm CST. Sign up if you aren't scared as heck.

Just got back into playing the game, thinking of picking up Zod, is he really heavy execution wise? (think c. viper from SF4) or can he be done by someone who's recently rusty?

Hey guys thanks for playing in the tournament. Was fun like always. I'm going to give a bit more notice for the next one I do but if anyone else wants to set one up it's really not hard and I can answer questions if you have them.

Here's a funny ragequit I got the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH3i1aKzPoE . Post yours if you have them please they're porn for me.

Edit: Oh yeah here is the final bracket, with SuddenBlackout being the winner. I don't know if there's any video proof of this happening so I guess you'll just have to take the bracket's word for it.

Anyone play Zod that could give me any tips? So far I'm really liking all his tools but I just want some tips going in to online battles after I practice more. Even if you've played against Zods, that's cool too.

Besides what's already in those posts I made, a big factor in effectively zoning with Zod will be whether you can get good at Instant Air db1 or not. Doing it as low as possible hinders your opponent's movement options while also causing Zod to land and recover quickly.

The only thing I've had trouble with so far is just getting a lot of the combos down but that's due to practice and learning, and since I'm just coming back to the game (and only played for like 3 weeks when it came out) is also learning the matchups. What are some bad matchups for him?

There was a glitch at one time (360 confirmed, not sure on PS3) which would dump all your levels and unlocks, but keep your actual server-logged stats or whatever. I thought it got fixed but maybe not and that guy just ran afoul of it.

I keep getting so close to a 10-win streak and then I always get some kinda combo-monster Aquaman, Catwoman or Batman on match 10.

Yup, I main Sinestro but I'm about a month and a few weeks way out of practice. Before then I was dicking around with an Aquaman secondary.

My fundamentals are way out of whack so I wouldn't mind grinding out some games (and it doesn't help that I picked up and started learning the basics of Persona 4 Arena).
