Qwark is actually correct on everything. The reason I posted the things I did is out of consideration for your comfort level. Learn Sub-Zero's general game first, but as soon as you can, you should be practicing the corrections that Qwark made. The suggestions I had will NOT hold up at a high level as Sub-Zero, no way in HELL - but they're easier to pull off if you're more concerned with just "getting" Sub-Zero.
Check out the stream archives for the 1st Ghost Battle Series and Shang Tsung's Fight Night. Tons of great Sub-Zero footage from Wound and Detroit.
This is the punish that, when I tested it, corners the opponent at once. I'm assuming this is what Qwark would suggest most highly.
B12 Freeze, 242 Run, 123 Slide.
I don't know the control scheme for PS4 nor Subs moves good enough to where I can know which is which. It's a cool combo. Thanks.
The reason we use 1234 notation on TYM is exactly so people from any console can know what buttons to press without needing to see the specific inputs. That's because Inputs are in the same face button positions across both platforms.
Anyway, hope I helped and understood you right.
You did brethren. Nice combo.Oh. Then when I posted in 1234 Notation, you should've been fine
I understand it's going to come to that, but I was speaking more in a day one sense to help out a newer player. If you have the lead you can very much sit behind clone in a lot of match ups I've found, as well placed EX fireballs can land you a lot of damage. It's unfortunate though because Sub is turning out to be a lot more unsafe than I'd like in a character. His corner pressure and clone traps are what's going to save him in the long run, I agree. That and learning what match ups unbreakable is really good in. But I'm pretty sure he'll get nerfed long because that even becomes an issue due to everyone complaining.
Sitting behind a clone means you willingly give up your ability to corner them then rely on yolo ex iceballs to get damage which you could've gotten by playing your clone correctly.
I wasn't implying you throw a clone out and sit there, I was implying that you constantly have a clone out in neutral to scare your opponent back, and you establish zoning with iceballs to make them afraid to approach, it is very easy to walk players into the corner once you've established fear of being frozen. "Well placed iceballs" didn't mean random EX iceballs. It meant countering a projectile with EX iceball, or reacting to a jump with EX iceball. Or if you're really on point, whiff punishing a normal. Sub's pressure and neutral is all about establishing the fear of being frozen due to his lack of good, safe normals. Sub is 100% about playing completely safe and letting your opponent make mistakes by taking risks. Because soon his 50/50s will get punished every time whether there is a clone or not, and that is going to cause a lot of problems.
