Wtf is a zoner
Simple answer :
A zoner is character that makes potemkin player commit suicide two times in a row

if somebody knocks you down as guile and they try to meaty overhead you by jumping, EX flash kick them the hell away from you

that king of the hill bit got me dying

Zoner: a character that is designed to physically make players turn red from insurmountable fits of rage.

Nice video also hope that new job you got is great!

You can't touch this..... tarara...

Nice stuff!

Man I didn't even hate zoners until Granblue Versus though it was a good idea to make the zoner have set play, a dp and a dive kick. Now I just wanna kill myself

I almost spit mashed potatoes all over my screen at that Boomhauer bit. Take my like, you beautiful bastard.

Fellow glue eaters rise up

As a Guile main i like this video 😁

Guile in SFV has been better at the close game than he's ever been.

Love small videos like this! Only issue I have is that a lot of times when playing a Zoned and you get a knockdown, it’s actually best to dash away and keep your opponent away. That’s not always the case, however if you play a Zoner that has a lot of problems up close and if you’re fighting a character that with 2 guesses can take away all of your life, it’s not worth the gamble of being close. A Zoners main objective is being safe and taking as few risks as possible, so when getting Oki it’s usually best to get back to the range you wanna be at and not let the opponent start anything. This ain’t always the case, it can depend on MU, the game, etc, but I feel like taking little risks is a better thing to teach. Love the video though

Ah yes, you did "WTF IS A GRAPPEL" and now a zoner, now I want to see the "WTF IS A CHARGE BRAINDEAD CHARACTER" (Sry I have ptsd from E. Honda)

i enjoy a lot of zoning but haven't played a dedicated zoner character until axl in strive. Closest before was merkava

This audio track has to be pattented by now, Summoning Salt's go to

+1

my claim to fame is being there live for the sonic boomhauer moment (also great video keep em coming)

Can we get gameplay with boom

I've been loving these videos about fg character's type, I'm learning with these, hope you keep going

hey the first song is we are landing by home right ?

Sonic Boomhauer earned you my sub all on its own

Dude you're underrated af. This content is top tier! Hope the algorithm finds you soon!

Petition. Make all zoner players play on one server so they can get the maximum amount of uninteractbility....in fact make all grapplers play on the same server too..I'm imaging the scene from full metal alchemist...you know the one

They're the characters whose face I put on my punching bag

Tommy "Hitman" Hearns

zoners are stage control character's

dang 'ol family man like hank man

That's my favorite archetype right there, followed by well-roundeds

My recommended put your watched video on here like “WHY IS THERE A PROXICON VIDEO YOU DIDNT LIKE YET HM?”

I mainly platform fighters, and I think Zoners are really fun in those games due to how the game is different from traditional fighters. Platform Fighters are all about movement and have a lot more ways to approach your opponent. Zoners turn it into a mind game. If you know how to use your projectiles, you can make your opponents second guess every option they take. Not to mention if you understand the angles your projectiles launch people at, you can do some crazy shit. Like, watch any professional gameplay of Pac Man. It is fucking INSANE

hol horse is a pretty interesting zoner. usually the biggest reward he’ll get off his pokes is a tiny bit of damage and a frametrap, but if he lands a solid knockdown it’s ub oki into tod time

Ah yes the Zoner. AKA the Play-Like-A-Bitch Strategy (which is my go to strategy)

Good

Why people just stick with one archetype anyway? I think that's why I like King of Fighters so much - I can have a zoner, grappler, and rush down character all in one set.

Zoners are just cowards and the play style is beyond boring. Especially Street Fighter 2 and alpha series Sagat who just does "tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger uppercut tiger tiger tiger tiger". Imagine being the most annoying player to go against, while also being captain "let me annoy you by spamming 2 or 3 moves the entire game being a chicken 💩 with piss poor damage to annoy you with is better"

Zoner nightmare:
Grappler getting grab range

I hate zoners too. And as a dedicated zoner player, you know what I hate more than zoners? Taking risks. Risks are for gambling — and yes, it’s an artform of its own. But I want to play smarter, not harder. Which is funny, since (at least in the more classic fighters) zoners are only better at wiping the floor with grapplers, while more versatile fighters and rushdowners have the tools to make zoners pay for their one-trick routine. So I’m kind of shooting myself in the foot here in terms of “smart” but hey, at least I can be a wuss and be proud of it

OMG that "Sonic Boomhauer" bit was perfect 😂

YES YES YES, they refuse to learn the game so they only press 2 buttons all the matches

translation: people who mainly play zoners play them cause being decent at the game is too hard

I enjoy Zoners a lot
Dhalsim and Glacius are two of my favorite fighting game characters

skill issue even 3 years later

If i can fight my opponent from across the screen why shouldnt i?
