I know there's a noob section, but I had a few questions too. Anyways, I'm Sauceman. I've been competitively playing shooters since 2006 and been on several top teams on various games. However, the last fighting game I can remember playing is MK2 on Sega. When I saw MK9 come out and heard good reviews, I bought it and I love it. I'm addicted to it, despite being pretty bad as a first time fighter (essentially).
I've played around with all the kombatants, and it seems like Sub-Zero is (still) my favorite. However, I have alot of trouble winning consistently. My BNB is the 22Ice214Slide, and that's really all I do as far as combos (sometimes I switch the 214 out for 212 or 224). I have the most trouble when someone is in my face and it seems like their combo's/whiff's/etc take priority while I'm in block, because when I try to time and unblock counter I seem to get caught in their next string. Am I just doing something wrong is is Sub Zero naturally a slow "defensive" player?
Also, any good videos to watch? I've seen alot of the competitive stuff (PDP). Anything recent, as in the last week?
If you want to send a F/R and play some friendly matches to help me out I'd appreciate it: S4UCEM4N
