If you don't understand my point of view, that's one thing, and it's fine, you don't have to. Although as author of the guide, I feel compelled to explain myself to those who have concerns. But implying that any self respecting player doesn't know what a basic concept like the neutral is? That's condescending, at least from my perspective. If it wasn't intended, no problem man.
Anyway, you can pressure an opponent while in the neutral simply by standing in the right position. Zoners apply pressure by simply existing at full screen, while grapplers apply it standing right next to you. The neutral and pressure, or any other act stemming straight from the neutral, while not strictly the same thing, are more often than not, talked about within the same breath. It's definition vs. application.
Cyber Sub-Zero is simply not as threatening as many other characters when in the close-neutral, and forced into uncomfortable positions at mid-neutral when met with crouching opponents.
