[Tom Brady]

Variation 1. Ice Weapons
Variation 2. Parry and Ice Armor causing SZ to take less damage (not sure if its on hit, chip, or both)
Variation 3. Clone

Universal specials are Ice Blast and Slide. EX slide still has armor.

Clone is the only ice weapon he needs

Now he just doesn`t need any damn weapon at all except clone, cause throwing the clone is not very different to throwing the ice hammer for example.

 

[LionHeart V1]

Clone. but taking less damage is interesting.

 

[Tom Brady]

Clone for me.

What are your thoughts about the ice clone? It seems that there is no dash blocking because to run you initiate a block while dashing so that seems as though the ice clone would shut down any attempt to dash in (because you have to commit), shut down running, and shut down jumping. Also if there is invulnerable back dashes the turtle route might be the best way to go.... also depending on if he can trade with zoners he might not need to even worry about being zoned.

Ugh… I'm sure you know all about Sub! Ban these testers….

I wonder if all three variations will be viable... or if only 1 variation will be. I really hope it's not the latter.

 

[Eric The Scruffy]

Probably Ice Weapons for me. SZ has always been my favorite MK character, now I can maybe play rushdown with him. *EDIT* not above counterpicking with a different style though.

With no dash blocking that will be very very tough... his ice clone turtle style will be the way to go.

Eh, we'll see.

Surely it will be match up dependent. You can't pick a style already when we've no idea what each advantage/disadvantage is.

 

[Protagonist_1]

If you missed out on the stream, there is some really REALLY valuable information on styles and game mechanics.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

I'm all for Parry and Armor. LET'S GO!

probably different viablility in different match ups, this game could end up being pretty deep. Tournys are going to be alotta fun to watch.

True, I'm just *guessing* based on the appearance that weapons is more of a rushdown style....but it is just a guess. And yes, surely matchups will factor into style choices.
