It sounds like Cryo is his pressure variation. The hammer is an overhead option, so that's a mixup with slide. It can also be used in the air for speedy descent. The sword strings give him range like Scorpion's ninjitsu and a standing launcher he doesn't have elsewhere. And the daggers grab give him a standing reset.
you've been paying attention sir.
Wait, in the air? HELMBREAKER???
well, he can't combo off it (that I've seen), but from the footage I wouldn't say it'll take longer than an hour for somebody to post up some IA Ice Hammer tech.
I thought the daggers were just his MB throw. This is a variation specific move? Is it like a command grab?
Daggers are def. variation specific. His throw animation is different. He coats them in ice and throws/punches them away I believe.
Default throw he just kind of charges up his hand and hits you in the chest. (from what we've seen) Everyone's MB throw is the same, they just kind of shove you a little bit like in the old Samurai Shodowns.
speaking of throws is it just me or does everyone seem to have an "air throw" now? as in you can throw a juggled opponent. i keep seeing a lot grab-like animations when the opponent doesn't even have their feet on the ground.
It's just a thing now, throws connect on juggled opponents. In strings, out of strings, normals, command, meter burned or not.
you mean i dont have to chose between combos and throws? for everyone? i think im in love with this game
woah, I never saw hammer being used in the air. That'd be pretty sick because it has far reach on the ground and could work as a jump-in that is very difficult t AA due ot it's range.
some guy posted a gif in gamefaqs awhile ago Sub Zero just pile drived the hammer into ground causeing a small unblockable shockwave if i remember correctly
You just brought me back.
That was found all the way back in October and was discussed in the SZ forum here.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I love vertical drop moves that stop all my jump momentum. It allows you to mess with folks really nicely. I wonder what this does to wakeups?That was found all the way back in October and was discussed in the SZ forum here.
It's a either a low or overhead IRC, not an unblockable. It stops all forward momentum, so depending on if there is a height limit or not and what the EX version does this thing could be a mind games monster IMO.
Wait, so if Raiden throws out a single orb in front of him (non connected) and the opponent jumps/walks into it, it will not stun them?
Here's the original video with the Hammer Drop.
Even if its a shitty mixup, we're still talking about a d+1/4 xx OH (that launches on EX), or d+1/4 xx low situation, and who knows if it'll get sped up before release. I think the ice knuckle (d,b+1 in Grandmaster) has all the same functionality (OH, launches on MB) and its crazy fast.
Correct. The MoS orbs have no collision until "activated".

Kind of alleviates my fear of that style then unless you can MB pop them.
What the hell are you basing that off of? We literally know nothing other then a general description of what's different about each variation. We don't know anything about the characters.
