Question - Sub-Zero Got the game early, q&a about Subzero moveset etc(no story spoilers)

[Qwark28]

From my impressions, he is very well rounded, has a low starter that you can combo from with 1 bar, a meterless overhead you can't combo from, far reaching normals etc

Only problem I see is the max damage I've found for cryomancer is 36% 1 bar, damage seems to be lacking in other variations but I've only tried Gmanster and Cryo.

EX Iceball is comboable from most of his strings and is -7 while pushing the opponent back at sweep distance, extremely deceiving animation which by looking at it I'd actually estimate -10.

Let's hope this isn't another Injustice in the sense of release patches changing frame data.

Cryo gives him an overhead but reactable hammer he can ex to get a combo out of. The hammer and ex iceball are what allow you to combo after f24.

Nice to have Qwark answering some questions also. I cant stream guys cause my internet speed is super lame.

Also Qwark are you on a PS4 or Xbone?

XB1, same name as here.

 

[Slymind]

You answering only Sub-Zero? there are some stuff from other characters i would like to ask.

We're a week before release, so any netcode report may not hold much water until the masses start hitting the servers proper.

I believe servers are down. I tried to access the faction war status screen and i got a server error message.

Nice! I'll add you to play some matches if you want

Wait, you can't combo from the B2? It looked like you could at least get a Slide, possibly a run into D4 or something. Not even in the corner?

 

[Qwark28]

If we get confirmation from a mod that we can continue doing this then I'd gladly look it up in-game.

My bad, in the corner you can, midscreen you can slide for 16%

Slide has godlike whiff recovery, 12f I believe. You're not punishing that shit on whiff unless you're on point.

 

[Repulsar]

Qwark i just added you man. If you can stream and we are able to play online then we can have some matches if you want.

 

[villainous monk]

I saw in the game play that Sub can do hammer one after another is this true or is there a delay where the last hit must confirm to tie into a small string or slide?

What's slide's startup and on block frame data?

 

[Johnny San]

Can you combo off "pokes"?

Looks like it but is actually super deceiving and no.

What's slide's startup and on block frame data?

8f startup, -21 on block. OTGs just like in MK9 and can be used to corpse hop after certain strings.

It better be the same for Liu's flying kick...

If this was any sooner, I'd be throwing money at either of you to overnight me a copy to the US. However, with my luck it would cost $100+ to do that, and get held up in customs for a week.

Also, if you're gonna stream, obviously don't do it on twitch. Jealous assholes will report you in no time.

So...no? I imagine the combo counter would be able to definitively tell you.

Just don't title it under MKX, use a different game's name, like Brink

Won't be streaming, it's nice that I got the game early and all but I do want to respect the developer's decided time of release. Basic info like this seems harmless to give out.

Exactly what I've done, they don't combo.

Much appreciated. This is the kind of info that I wanna have early access to.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

I am willing to fly to Greece and cook for you if you let me play.

You can spam the ex hammer fast enough to perform a 3 hit combo but its a waste of meter.

The normal hammer has a delay and if the opponent blocks after he recovers from the knockdown, he blocks it. You can use it as a meaty attack though.
