Are you serious?
This is essentially a meaty armour break using
Sub Zero’s armour. Lots of characters have meaty armour breaks that don’t require armour; eg. Baraka, Sindel
This was in MKX, it’s pretty standard tbh. I’m not sure what you’re complaining about?
In regards to the setup, it’s cool, but doesn’t give an awful lot of damage, is unsafe, and there’s really no mixup. You’d probably be better blocking if you make the read they’re gonna wake up.
