Best strategy was trying to outperform your opponent with your mediocre damage and range/speed. I can only speak for scIV zas.
I liked to rely on his frametraps you got from draw moves, forcing a mix-up between mid/throw. His lows were appalling so no low/mid mixups for him. Zas really shined with his back against the ring edge, he had plenty of moves that would cause a ring-out over his head.
He had a couple good tech catches against ukemi, 4B without just frame 3AB comes to mind.
I liked to catch opponent off guard with uncompleted strings, 6AB, 3AB, 6BA, only performing the first hit.
I would try to find ways to force yourself in BT state to force BT B+K on your opponent which was a great move, like jumping over downed opponents.
4B+K was a great move to throw out as much as possible, safe and would lead to combo damage. 3K was a great kick to stuff your opponent from up close.
I heard that Zas's frames got buffed in broken destiny, most notably his AA would be + on hit, aswel as his 1K low kick. Pimp hand (B+K) gained damage and no longer automatically taunted.
Seeing how BD was a step up for Zas I'm really excited what they do with him in scVI. I missed him sorely in V.
I wonder if the curses will be a reward for either good offense or either good defense.
Maybe it is applied on lethal hits, or from hits during soul charge state. Maybe it's a separate move that you have to land (pimp hand), or from draw moves, or throws. It would reward good offensive play, but do you really need a boost to your offense in the form of time stop when you are already winning?
It could come from good defense, like landing GI or RE.
From the trailer timestop looks to be applied when landing certain hits, RE B specifically. Hopefully there are other possibilities.
The mechanic looks like a cool addition to me, but only when it rewards good play. I'm a bit worried Zas will be forced to rely on it to dish out big damage or to be viable.
I think they read through the forum from sc4 and those wishlist, because back in 09 i wrote about zas having a wrB that would ring out behind him or just slam the oppenent on their head and i just saw it in a video in the general forums.
Maybe its just irony but, either way im happy to have zas back and for him to look so solid this time around(hopefully he makes to console this good).
That's Abyss WS B from SCIII. Zas has a lot of Abyss moves in Soul Charge.
@Frayhua Do you have a source for Zas's 22B and 88B that you've listed? Just find it strange that they are 2 different moves now.
Havent played sc3 since 06-07 so even when wrote that in the wish list back in 09 i thought i came up with lol. What was zas new 66b and does not have his old ws b that rung out in front of him ?
What will be the input of Zas SCIV 66BB?
