Strategy How to break thru the ice statues

[R.E.L.]

Thought this was worth mentioning. If you time it right, you can dash into the statues and then block to break them.

One way to do it is to dash into the ice clone and cancel the dash with block at the moment of contact. Its a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it its not hard.

Cool, this has kinda been my strategy against Ice Clones to begin with, I didn't know it could do this, pretty cool glitch.

Interesting, not sure it's a glitch though ^ or just from the demo build hmm, this will have to be tested on the full game.

Its not a glitch.

Definitely no glitch. This makes Sub more manageable.

I agree, didn't look like a glitch just a way to deal with the damn clone lol

It should also be noted that judging from the leaked full version videos, it appears that ice clones will break when you hit Sub as well.

Really ^? That's interesting have to try that out but I tried the dash/cancel into block to break it last weekend, it does work indeed. Be sure to cancel into block though lol

opens up a bit of a meta game, because if sub reads that you are going in to break the clone, you could get swept/thrown... ect.

How fast can you forward dash cancel into crouching block? I'm wondering if Sub-Zero can hit his opponent with b,f+4 on reaction here.

Someone that has a testing partner should experiment with reading the dash block and punishing it with a slide/sweep or overhead for the crouch block, if the overhead can punish it that could be significant.
