[SHAOLIN]

Its good you guy are speculating,but don't read too much into these videos that are being posted.....we won't know how Sub-Zero really plays until the final bulid.

Pretty cool that Steve Blum is voicing this third Sub-Zero.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Sub Zero's ice clone and iceball will be S+ tier without the ability to dash block?

Commit to dash for pressure? Eat this clone.

Try to run in for pressure? Eat this ice ball.

I for one am hype because Im a looong time Sub Zeri fan and would love for him to be mainable.

 

[SHAOLIN]

Yea it just means Sub-Zero will be more of a bitch to fight againist now.You'll gonna need more patience then ever if you wanna win againist him and I'm lovin it <3

Considering the awesome Scorpion combos that video had, I am afraid these simple combos are all Sub has got :S

His moves aren't finalised and the MK community has Check. Sub will be alright. Besides, it's not all about flashy combos : P

 

[RelentlessOhio]

I like the fact he can throw his ice clones. So tight.

IIRC it's only Ex-clones. In a game with largely MK-ish meter system. For something like 11% damage.
Not quite excited.

 

[ColdSpine]

hmm the last three hits remind me of noob`s MKT kick string. could this mean its bi-han? i really have a strong feeilng that this is the original subzero.

Haven't read through the whole thread I'm afraid, so I'm not sure if it's been discussed, but does anyone else abhor Sub's new XRay? I'm not a fan of the new ending, but more importantly it seems completely defensive.

I'm really hoping we're either going to be able to select different XRs, or that each Variation will have its own XR to compliment it.

Or, third option, if SZ's XR is the same as it used to be except you can hold it for the parrying aspect, that's all good too.

Visually I think it looks amazing but I agree not a fan of it being so defensive when there already is a variation with a standard parry move, however we shall wait and see.

Dont hold your breath for variation XR's however, as Ed Boon said that they are not doing that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Qwark28]

HOLY HIT THAT STARTUP.

 

[WakeUp DP]

But you can throw ice clones.

I think that'd be a pretty big deal if he could do that in MK9.

Ice clone eats projectiles now too

 

[WakeUp DP]

HOLY HIT THAT STARTUP.

OMG the ex version has at least 6frames start up which is gonna make trading a lot easier.

I can already see the crying for Subz nerfs day one lol

Aw, he said that? : (

No! We have to make a pakt as a kommunity that we won't kry for buffs or nerfs! At least not for the first 6 months or more. We need to give the game time to grow and evolve.

Also, Clone eating projectiles is a double-edged sword.

I kind of have an idea why it might be a double-edged sword,but I wanna know what makes you think that?

IDK, is it me, or does this look like Subs iceball collided with Scorpions hellball and won?

His fireball exploded in mid air.
For reference.

Here is the impact animation of is hell ball.
And here is the animation just flying.

So there is no extra animations that happen mid flight.
Or maybe he can meter burn his fireball mid air to explode? But he doesn't have the MB glow though... hmm.

That's the ex version of ice blast...


if you watch the gameplay videos his normal ice blast is a one handed throw. He's using two hands there.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Not really digging the injustice style combos with jip 1 mid combo. =/

Hopefully he has better ones.

I actually really like the j/1/2/3 combos! Idk they r just fun to do. I'm sure instead of j1 he could have done at least two j2 juggles before ending it with a grounded combo!

bleh.

If I'm gonna juggle... I like staying on the ground and dashing.

Doing that makes all the combos look the same... everything in injustice is... NJ/Ji/Start from ground, pop up, jump attack, ending string... or for more damage... a B3 THEN a jump attack to ending string.

This will be a welcome change from having people dash up into the iceclone and somehow pop it with their block.

I'm also loving that it looks like SZ finally has some lows. Give him some overheads, and he could be very dangerous up close, what with being able to cancel unsafe strings into clone.

Most of those really flashy combos where in his weapon variation.

We didn't get to see many of Sub's weapon variation's combos.

I find it fun. if you dont like it dont play it.

More importantly it looks like it had armor....which is awsome
