General/Other - Sub-Zero Played MKX at Games14 - my thoughts (on Sub specifically + general info)

[loogie]

I don't suppose Sub-Zero can throw air ice clones, right? That would be awesome!

Subzero cannot make clones in the air

 

[loogie]

from the footage I've seen, subz full walk speed is slower than the start up animation of walking, similar to Kenshi's famous crab walk.

In fact, the start up of it looks the fastest with the most distance of all the characters revealed so far.

Any comment on that aspect?

PS. how is subz uppercut?

PPS. do you remember the start up frames of his f42 string?

you are kinda right about Subs back walk speed, looks good but longer you walk back it looks very Kenshi-like I have to say.
Sub uppercut did not seem very good, unless you are Cryomancer Subzero - he has an upward slash with the sword as his uppercut (animation is changed or the d2 in this var), it has a great range and reliable.

I updated the thread with the f42 info further...

 

[loogie]

Aw I was hoping he still had his 222 string. Never mind

Cryomancer Sub has two strings ending with the sword:
- b211 (juggles)
- 111

d2 is also an upslash with his sword in this variation

 

[Pterodactyl]

btw I could slide them after an uppercut for 18% damage ...

In MK9 or in MKX?

Great writeup

 

[WakeUp DP]

As for Wake up attacks it seems like you can only do wake ups if you have a bar of meter. So remember that! Maybe it seemed hard bc everytime u tried you didnt have meter?

 

[Linkuei82]

Thanks for this. Wanted info on Sub.

 

[loogie]

In MK9 or in MKX?

MKX

d4 into slide, registered as a 2-hit combo ...

Oh my God.


Please tell me we still have an 8 frame d4

Man, thanks for taking the time to answer to everyone! Such a nice guy

Didn't really notice that, can't say if it's meter dependent.

 

[loogie]

haha, I wish I could say that. fact is, I did not check the frame data on his d4.
one thing for sure, it does no look like his MK9 d4 .... it's a grounded poke, like his d3 but has a better range. the range was really good from what I saw.

Comboing with pokes is my biggest fear :/ could never do that with any MK only IGAU

Well, he said d4, doesn't mean it's also going to apply to all the others (like d1 or d3). And slide is a pretty fast cancel- I doubt they'd be able to cancel into alot of combo starters.

Imagine if Sonya or Mileena could combo with D4 though, shits scary to think of

and you can only combo into an ex special move. so it requires a bar of meter.

 

[Laos_boy]

D4 combos? Ugh idk about that. Everyone would have a 12-19 frame "low launcher"

its cool, I play KI3 and SF4 where low pokes combo into special moves and some are 3-6frames, its not a big deal tbh. plus in MKX it requires meter. you can NOT combo from a d4 into a special move without meter.

 

[loogie]

D4 into slide, was not ex slide... I did not notice anything meter dependent in this.
I could be wrong about other moves, but pretty sure d4 into regular slide registering (in this build) as a combo

right but slide is not a combo starter, so there are exceptions to the rule as long as it doesnt juggle I guess?

I should have tried d4 into ex ice ball...

it should work!

Ed Boon said something on Twitter about this.
"@rayf_williams @noobde 2 of my friends played Mortal Kombat X in a video game event in Dubai & now I'm jealous EB: Dubai? I think they lie."

Not sure if he is joking, not sure how to link twitter here.

Being able to cancel footsies moves like D4s is nice to hear about.

 

[Mr_Swizzer]

How was Kabal?

Is Kabal confirmed?
