What's new

need fresh tips against fighting GMSZ

Sub zero is my favorite character in the franchise... But he's one of my least favorite fighters. This is especially so in mkx. I play commando kano. I'm arguably the greatest commando kano in the world. I can't, however, seem to get out of the snow clone corner trap when fighting a decent grandmaster. Mid-long screen no problem. He dashes out a snow man snow clone thing and I immediately shatter it with a knife. Keep using my knife machine gun until he realizes that the snow man is a waste of time. That's what I want, though. Come in close, and I give you the walls of Jericho. But BUT.... There comes that fateful event of, (you guys know), getting stuck between a rock and a hard ice... man. Viable strategies to getting loose WITHOUT meter?

Believe in the hop kick
Watch out for his b2 overhead, if he does it any closer than max range you get a b1 punish. If you just duck in the corner a Sub player will throw out the b2 and it's definitely seeable despite being 17 frames(?) as there is nothing ambiguous about the animation.

A. If you were actually the best Commando Kano in the world you would've come up with a solution for this already yourself :p
B. If you were actually the best Commando Kano in the world you wouldn't let yourself get cornered by Grandmaster Sub Zero, hell I don't even corner myself in Cybernetic and I'm retreating and zoning the whole time.
C. I know you said without meter but of course his best option is probably the armour on his EX grabs in Commando, so I'm sure you can use them to your advantage. If not Jason is coming out soon so just armour through it with him lol.
D. Meterless, Commando Kano probably has to guess like pretty much the rest of the cast without meter so just make some good reads and hope for the best.
