Here is what subzero still doesn't have. A way to counter-zone. I am sure he will be fantastic against rush down (ex., JC). Hopefully his corner game is top 5 so when he does get in, he keeps you in.

Otherwise I am going to zone the beejeezus out of you subby lovers :)
his ex Ice ball negates your projectile and still goes......

so i'm the ONLY one who really really likes the variation of defense? With the Ice wall parry and the ice armor?

damn.
I know @Braindead likes it... and I like the sound of it... but that mask... Idk if I can deal with that. lol

In terms of appeal (going by the descriptions), mine goes like this...

Unbreakable
Grandmaster






Cryomancer


Visually... it's opposite lol

Cryomancer
Grandmaster





Unbreakable

They all look style wise fun

I can't get over the fact that he looks like he's wearing a puffy vest that you get at the GAP or Old Navy.

Hell yeah Unbreakable FTMFW!
If that parry has a 1-frame startup I'm gonna be happy as fuck. Nothing feels better than doing something unsafe like -8 and they try to punish you but then you do a parry. It's a real salt shaker.

I'm going to rock the 3 variations but Unbreakable is probably gonna be my main.

Also I agree with what CharlieMurphy said about the costume, it looks dumb. The frozen mask also looks a bit silly but I can get over it.

? What don't you understand? Lol
There's nothing on paper. There's no data about the character. There's no confirmed game engine to apply the data to.

When you say a character looks good on paper you usually mean that their frame data looks good. Nightwing for example... looks really good on paper.

I guess I've just never seen the phrase applied the way you applied it before. that's why I was confused.

Lololol what?? You thought way too hard into a vague statement from a game/character nowhere near finished. Unless the game is absolutely finished and ready to be released soon and I must have been talking about his frame data, push back on block, etc all look good on paper. -.-

Because you know, in no way could I possibly have been talking about the 3 written variations of Sub-Zero, in a thread titled "Sub-Zero's variations descriptions for Mortal Kombat X", with a picture of a written description of the variations, "look good on paper". :DOGE

Oh my friend who only uses Sub-Zero is going to love these options lol.

Would have been cool(pun intended) if they gave Subby his Ice Shower in his aggressive style as a move.

He looks improved no doubt, more options and slides under shit but I think Raiden will eat up Sub-Zero like he did in MK 9 lol.

Ohhhh man I can't wait for the Scorpion Vs. Sub-Zero battles.

With all the crazy changes Scorpion received like his teleport cancel....these fights will be more epic than ever.

I don't recall the Sub/Raiden matchup being heavily in Raiden's favour, if at all.

I hate how jacked Sub-Zero has looked since MK vs DC.

It looks like the dude wouldn't be able to touch his toes.

But anyway, they all look solid. I'm most interested in Unbreakable, though Cryomancer looks like the most fun, and Grand Master looks like the most advantageous.

Im pretty sure its in raidens favor, perhaps not a 7-3 but def in his favor 6-4 at least. The second sub freezes a good read by raid tps and punishes sub bad plus wakeup superman nulifies clones. Then theres Ex superman »»»subs strings. At the end of the day raiden has more advantages.

But my initial post is but theory obviously we'll have to wait and see buddy.

Sub can feint a freeze to bait the teleport and he can mix up his strings. Raiden might be able to wakeup Superman through clones, but if you've knocked him down right he'll be blocked and punished straight after. I still say it's 5-5.

Thing is a smart Raiden player won't fall for that and say both are turtling Raiden can put pressure on via zoning blasts where as Sub's freezes can't he has to hope to trade since they don't do chip or harm you directly(where as Raiden's does), and the second Sub shoots a freeze Raiden teleports and punishes him but that aside Raiden's EX superman goes through a lot of Sub's attacks besides the normal wake up through clones, Sub can have a chance but from my experience facing good subs and the overall match up chart most believe that's Raiden's favor 6-4 at least. I believe user @Raidenwins posted a good definition of it in the Raiden match up topic since he had stated he uses both characters. There has been som debate though that a few people feel it's 5-5, most I agree however run with the 6-4 Raidens' favor so I'm more inclined to go with that one. To each his own.

Nobody's polluting the thread with anything, Mechacide and I were just discussing something. No need to get mad Saltshaker. lol. Why so serious?:p In any case, Sub and Raiden look nice in MK X.

I'm guessing that the Cryomancer version will have unique string enders, similar to MK9's "222" string. If so, this version should be a beast in the corner.
