you should enlighten us. because right now it seems grandmaster is the only real clear cut direction.
low damage rushdown lol. sweet. i suppose with the anti chip/lower damage he could potentially beat rushdown at there own game. but without cryomancer you have like...1 overhead. i guess they still have to semi guess tho.
U can easily do ~17-29% mid combos, and when in the corner there's a garantue meterless 28%(low starter) - 32%(overhead) combos. Ofc you can go above that.
i usually say if your not hitting 30% the damage is low. but again thats me. i dont have a problem with it tho. would be dumb to do high damage while taking less/negating chip damage and having freeze counters.
i started reading the thread and read this post, somehow i knew it was you. Neutral game man, mix it up. Don't do one specific thing unless it keeps working. if you land the counter jump convert it into a corner push or another command grab... there is no one glorified way to answer. Sub zero has options that can be used based on what the opponent is doing, if he is jumping a lot probably do an anti air, if he is playing a teleporter probably do a D4 poke to stagger them back and block for a full punish... it is literally rock paper scissors. Read each fight, pay attention to how the other player is playing his character. if you want to be entirely safe then do D4 poke. chip damage if they block and a few % if unblocked. safe, chip damage adds up, and if they do block low you can overhead, there is no reward without risk... cryo has more risk but far better reward for that risk. GM can be countered out of its BnB corner for one bar. Mid game is relevant if you play someone who does not get scared of an ice clone. if you want a generally safe Sub zero you need to play GM or Unbreakable
I'm yet to see any half decent Unbreakable Sub-Zero. There's any footage of you streaming or something? I was kinda disappointed when I saw the the ice shield doesn't freeze jump in attacks. But when I discovered it could punish between some strings then I understood it's full potencial.
That's still pretty fucking low. Probably lower than the entire cast. Even lower than Grandmaster Sub-Zero, man. lol
You can check some recent Unbreakable gameplay videos here http://testyourmight.com/threads/post-your-online-offline-matches-here-all-variations.50616/#post-1699535 (we are discussing and learning this variation as the game is still very early)
That's why there's a Cryomancer variation if u are all up for pure mid/corner damage. However none of the other variations, except Unbreakable, has ability to gain 0 chip damage (+low dmg on hit with EX aura) and ability to parry expected wakeups attacks or even better -parry opponent in the middle of their strings.
Except for one thing. It's not a rushdown style. It's a balanced style.
He constantly regurgitates shit, I wouldn't pay attention.
I play cryo main, but learned and actively practice grandmaster on a lot of match ups. Truth be told they both have a solid rush down. you have the ability to turtle behind clone in Gm, and almost all of his combos are strong corner pushers, and thet is where sub zero thrives. Cryo has dat damage doe, and the restand into neutral, is equally decent tech. Your punishes are also a lot more severe on cryo. I think after you do branch out to GM you will respect them both for what they are and use them when their strngths come into play, I.E GM when someone picks LK, and just laugh, and Cryo when someone goes full auto jaq, and laugh... it is all about the match up
Just seems likely tbh. Not necessarily fact.
