It's hard. In my opinion the best way to go about it is to try and take him to the corner(obviously). If you can get a F12 knockdown in the corner and the close clone up, you're chances just increased 1000000%. Use the close clone so you can use B33 and an untechable throw instead of B2. The reason you want to refrain from using B2 is that Tarkatan Alien will take 36% every time he blocks a B2, even through the clone. So your corner game is kind of weakened because if you want to be safe, it only becomes a 50/50 instead of 33/33/33, and you lose the chance to shatter. But because of Alien's hurtbox, the close clone is devastating because all he can do is D3, and he especially can jump out because Alien has a huge hurtbox that low the ground so he has to guess.
Tarkatan has 4-6 against Sub Zero, because he has nothing else to break SZ's Ice Klone, except of the Tail Grab. I main both, so I know what I'm telling. To be honest, Tarkatan is the offensive type, while Acidic is the balanced one, and Konjurer is the defensive, due of the drones and the headcrabs there.
He doesn't need to break the clone because the tail goes THROUGH it. Tarkatan beats sub 6-4 imo. See Dragon vs Madzin at ESL finals or look up footage of Dragon vs Brady or Tweedy vs Brady.
I see. Will look into them.
Yeah. I use Brady's bnb for 24%. It's pathetic damage but it's the most consistent.
The b2 11 iceball?
Yeah
Yes. Everything you do in the corner should end in F12 unless it will kill. It is never worth it to not go for the re-clone and armor break unless you can kill them.
And this is used after you setup the clone in the corner right? Like if they block low after the clone setup you guys usually do b2,11, ice ball?
This is interesting, because outside of maybe an EX frost bomb armor trap after a blocked F33, you don't really need meter once you have them cornered.
Yeah the full combo on females that I prefer is B2, 11 xx freeze, njp, ji2, F12. After that you reclone and do whatever you need to lot of it is character dependent.
If you mix that in with untechable throw, it's a 50/50 pretty much. You can just backdash or armor once it's blocked. No turns allowed boys.
Oh is this only for females? What's your bnb for males?
B2, B2, D1, B12 xx clone, njp, ji2, f12
Sub can get the same damage on females as the males. It takes some practice but there are universal corner combos. As far as the Crouch/Crouch Blocking females, only some give that issue. B2 combos work easily on Sonya, Kitana and Jacqui. Not on Mileena, Cassie, Tanya and Devorrah. However there is a trick to making it work on all females. I discovered it a long time ago but didn't care enough to post it. You have to B2 them from further back or at maximum distance. Make his fingertips connect and you can get the full B2 combo. When you're practicing this make sure the dummy is in full crouch stance before you B2. Instantly B2'ing when the dummy is starting to crouch from Training mode reset causes inconsistent results. It works then doesn't work. That happened to Brady when he couldn't figure out why it worked then didn't work randomly. You can alternate after (B2, B2) with S1 or D1 or D3. Just use two of any of those three. My preference is S1, S1 or D3, D3.
Try turning off release check. If you have that off already, you're probably doing the db motion during one of the 1 inputs.
