Does EX-clone have good ways to mess with Lao's midscreen options? I imagine it's a good option against Lao players that don't have their execution down right and leave a gap after an EX hat spin. Or you can probably shut down Lao's offense to a good extent with normal clone.
Ex clone is probably the best parry in the game I think. Yeah you're right, bad execution can get you cloned.
The fact that Cybernetic's zoning becomes irrelevant since he can just aura up and not give a damn. Why do people always talk about the rushdown parts of Cybernetic? Lol
Have only faced one really good Cybernetic, who wasn't that much into kniving all day but instead had godlike footsies to whiff punish all of my moves. As such I don;t know yet how much of a pain Cyber-zoning is.
Can't believe I forgot the timer on Aura, very valid point. Aura isn't useless against zoners, it helps you get in without taking any damage on the way there. Imagine if Summoner Quan has you fullscreen and EX-rune's the shit out of you with a bat coming at you half the time. Once saw M2Dave play a zoning Summoner, it does noteworthy chip that Unbreakable can nullify.
Icy slide gets you in when your getting full screen zoned , not aura , it might save you a points of health on the way in but it's not gonna change weather you win the match or not
Well yeah, that's how Cybernetic has to play against Unbreakable because his other main good variation tool (his zoning) becomes less powerful because of aura. Yeah he gets meter but he still has to open you up, footsies is the only way to do that for him since Unbreakable has good tools up close between his 50/50s and parry and the aura stops him doing damage by throwing knives.
Lol stop. Obviously aura is going to wear off but who cares? All you need to do against Cyber is block one projectile (1% chip, ouch) then you can put aura back up and sit back and wait. You're not going to "eat" anything. Putting up aura makes zoning less of a problem since projectiles aren't going to do any damage to him that way, making coming in more necessary for the opponent. No Cyber is going to zone all day, especially considering Sub can also just slide under knives and be right in your face. I feel like I'm explaining basic Unbreakable meta here which I shouldn't have to.
Dude stop downplaying, zoners tend to do more than 5% chip over the course of a match. And not taking damage helps Sub Zero, is that even a talking point? Obviously you're not going to make the entire match sitting there negating chip, the opponent is going to come in anyway because they can't zone because it isn't worth it since you have aura up.
Basic unbreakable meta?
In a nutshell. Yes.Ex clone is probably the best parry in the game I think. Yeah you're right, bad execution can get you cloned.
Sub zero has pretty shitty options midscreen, that's why the clone is so powerful in the corner, take away the clone and all you have left is a shitty midscreen game and a corner game that's far too easy to escape.
His parry is basically a joke, even if the sub player scouts that you're baiting it, they haven't got enough to gain on that sort of read. It doesn't recover fast enough from deflecting projectiles. The aura should act like blood gods defence totem really.
Unbreakable is a dream, in reality it's the King of dog shite.
Yes meter that sub builds slower than the entire cast. I mean really does anyone build meter as slow as sub?
All the while kano builds meter and sub gains jack shit. When he decides to run in he will have more meter and he has better damage and better options up close. Sub should gain meter with blocked attacks while aura is up, if Kotal can sub should. Or the aura should negate meter build. The no chip thing is really cool but it does absolutely nothing to give sub the advantage like his other variations can.
LOL Liu Kang doesn't need to go in on unbreakable.
