This is the point I'm not so sure about. I don't see what match-ups are exacerbated by this. Characters that have a tough time dealing with the Clone (even match-ups included), aren't really the ones going through Clone in the first place. So this property wouldn't really apply. It's the characters that blow right through the Clone like it's not there AND make it disappear in the process that would feel a change. D'Vorah, Alien, Takeda, Kenshi, etc. And I don't think those match-ups suddenly become in Sub-Zero's favor. They still blow right through Clone. It just doesn't go away immediately and become null....because the MUs will change drastically in SZ's favor.
No, this doesn't stem from Hunter Predator. His Clone has never gone away on block until MKX. But again, given the nature of MKX, I'd rather they just improve Cryomancer and Unbreakable to handle awkward match-ups.
If Sub-Zero blocks an attack while the Clone is out, the Clone goes away. Moves with disjointed hitboxes and some projectile-type moves go straight through the Clone and are able to damage Sub-Zero. If Sub-Zero defends those moves, the Clone still goes away.What do you mean by the clone staying on block? Sorry I'm new to subzero.
