Does anyone have advice on dealing with jax? particularly in pumped up , his ground pound goes right under iceball , his F2 out ranges my F4 , and he has a pretty safe advancing armor move , matchup seems annoying at first glance :\

Slide on reaction to ground pound or bait it, he can't cancel it anymore.

Clone zone, throw sometimes if he doesn't have meter and likes to jump, detonate if he's close enough and if he's not, walk back to the clone and re-position another.

I find D4 to be much better than F42 in matchups where you absolutely must keep someone away.

So what do you think are the best combo starters and links in this game?

I'm QUITE fond of B12 myself. But it's not like huge-hitbox 22 like MK9. What else is good?

There are literally 4 guides that answer that.

How do you do Sub's crouching Slide?

@STB Sgt Reed So I was watching all the Grandmaster Sub-Zero games vs Takeda on @Pig Of The Hut's stream, and after a few minutes decided it's time to share my anti-Takeda tech with Cryomancer. I hope this helps.

after watching texas stream with tom brady and reo it seems that cassie is pretty tough for sz right now. you either have to use specific corner setups for traps which will make you lose damage, or just not use corner traps with clone at all. also rockets

False.. in spec ops you run at and full combo all her missile calls,forcing her to only call on herself where you can freeze her. hard to do anything on xbox one pad.

Sub zero mains, we have a classic costume now

 

[deathgun]

The addressing on Sub's damage scale was a nerf or a buff?

 

[Solid]

People are crying about Subby on Twitter. WNF guys. Really annoying. Seems these people WILL NEVER LEARN.

Was it a string cancelled into run? I've had similar experiences.

no idea it happened so fast. I was speechless.

 

[Hivey]

So it looks like standing 1 can work as a good anti-air tool, it has a good hitbox and couple with the fact that jump in attacks have short active time, it seems to be useful.
After standing 1 it's very easy to hit confirm into F42 xx slide for 15%, or F421+3 for 16% and side switch. Also you can Do F42 xx EX Ice ball for higher damage.
If you are close enough when you anti-air, you can do B12 after the standing 1 for higher damage. If you carry to the corner you can get very good damage with one bar.

This is basically a concept, test this out and tell me what you think.

@AK Smarrgasm since you were talking about Subby's anti-airing the other day.

Master @Tom Brady I'd like to hear your opinion on this ^

Half the characters in the game can fuck your S1 up.
