low hotboxes destroy sub as well. Ice clone won't give sub free pressure, it doesn't makes your opponent unable to walk back and throw a projectile or counter his advancing. Also, his pressure won't last that long if he gets in... If he catches you not blocking, you will probably eat around 25% anyway, not even worth breaking.
His corner pressure isn't that much of a big deal against most of the cast anymore.
No characters should be blamed for a loss, they don't pick themselves on the selection screen.
maybe I wouldn't give a fuck if I was Raiden or Jax.
Or 80% of the rest of the cast.
Playing 100% Sub-Zero in a tournament full of Kitanas, Kabals an Raidens isn't viable, period. You might make it to the top 8 with a big deal of effort, but you will never win. Sektor won't either, and many others.
Edit: His 2 is pretty fast, but it doesn't hits mid. The rest of the normals pretty much sucks and his strings are slow.
Tom also said his new char HAD a face.
Also, Ermac isn't high up. Not even top 16 perhaps. It isn't Scarlet either, she never had a face.
