Sub-Zero Freeze Glitch

Konqrr

MK11 Kabal = MK9 Kitana

In this video, Scorpion is hit by a clone. They he gets out and does a Teleport Punch which is blocked. Sub tries to punish with a jab into freeze which would nomally freeze Scorpion in the air and he is knocked down like a double freeze would do.

This is a VERY big deal and will affect Sub in the same way that his b+4 whiffs online in MKDC!

EDIT: Glitch starts at 54 seconds when Scorpion gets hit by the ice clone.

It could be a glitch, but what if it has something to do with the fact that Sub-Zero didn't capitalize on the ice clone? Maybe in this situation Subbie can't freeze the opponent for a short period of time?

I'm just thinking of other options since it doesn't seem to happen elsewhere in the video.

Punish ME for not capitalizing on the clone? I don't think so. If my opponent repeatedly fucks up and I am not permitted to punish because I failed to punish the time before, that would be fucking stupid.

This is not intentional.

Better shoot the team a link of the vid via twitter.

Ohhh I see it now. Jab into freeze should have frozen scorp in mid air. Also another thing I noticed, wouldn't make more sense if scorp spear would go thru the ice clone? Because he is throwing it straight towards it.

Later on at 1:38, Sub blocks a teleport and punishes the same way... jab xx freeze... maybe it has to do with timing on the freeze.... maybe you can't freeze for a combo more than once in a ceratin amount of time.

I don't think so phil, The x factor here is the clone. When Scorp escaped and teleported it should have reset, and the same combo he performed at 1:38 should have been possible.

This is kind of what I was getting at. Again, not saying this isn't a glitch, just that I don't think this is enough evidence since we know very little about the ice clone and freezing properties.

It's a glitch:


Looks like the video Konqrr posted was taken down (just saw this thread now) so hopefully mine stays up for a bit. Anyone know if this has been looked at? That is, I assume this is what Konqrr is referring to. It's important to note, this doesn't just affect Sub-zero, it's merely more noticeable due to the properties of his moves. When I was playing Rob tonight, I was abusing the Hell out of the nerfed specials whenever available.
