Sub-Zero Pre-Release General Discussion

[exisTenz]

Holy shit, that was awesome! I'm so fucking excited!

 

[Lokheit]

This looks like the Cryomancer that I always wanted... with the bonus of double the GM than we expected lol. Those aerial moves... THE LIN KUEI IS BACK!!

And finally he teleports again in game, I was tired of seeing it a lot during cinematics but not in gameplay. Awesome reveal.

Someone forgot that they use gear moves for the trailers aswell.

Leave me alone to play my penis. I'm in kreygasm mode!!!! Can't wait for my boy to come out and lab the shit outta him!

Ok, quick analisys of what we've seen:

- His model looks way more polished and you can clearly see his skin under the mask.

- J2 uses a sword.

- His 111 Cryo string is back.

- Apparently Frost Bomb from MKX now can be MB into his MKDA-MKD-MKA cold shoulder (which was also his MK9 X-Ray animation).

- Slide changing sides with MB is back.

- MB Iceball freezes, regular Iceball was parried and its effects weren't shown.

- Cryo F122 is back.

- Cryo's command grab is back (they don't show if you can 2in1 it but probably you can.

- B33D4 from MKX is back (hopefully now it's universal as in MKX it would only connect iceball on females).

- F21Throw from MKX is back.

- Ground freeze from MK9 is back (setups boys!)

- B3 is MK9 B2.

- Aerial klone diagonal projectile.

- Regular klone is back and it can still be thrown.

- Cryo's Air Hammer is back and can be meter burned into regular hammer launcher (how many times did I ask for MKX Air hammer to be useful?!?! I'm in tears!!).

- F3 is his hammer (I said I would riot if it wasn't, thankfully it did happen lol).

- His D2 is Cryo's D2 but looks much faster.

- MKX 213 string is back.

- Klone slide projectile (I suspect his klone projectiles will be gear moves).

- His throw animation is AWESOME and uses the character's ability to teleport, something I've been hoping to see for a long time even if the teleport perse isn't used outside animations.

- Klone can be meter burned into air klone for 2 klones.

- J3 is his J3 from MKX.

- 112 string from MKX is back.

- F33 is back too.

- New string starting with 2 kicks?

- Supermove is low and ranged and reaaaaaally swaggy (again using his ability to teleport and his kori weapons).

- Victory pose really captures the spirit of MK!

This is why I love Sub Zero. He has everything that would make everyone tremble in fear.

 

[ienjoywinning]

He looks fucking amazing , I wish they slightly changed the animations though. But it doesn't change the fact about how sick this char is gonna be. Can't wait to get my hands on him

 

[Afrophysics]

His MB ice clone is the perfect "Fuck you, try me" to air dashes, grodds lunge and Cheetahs lunge. Fucking love it!

 

[Tanno]

@Lokheit , do we know which move is his character powers (4) and which are gear abilities?

 

[Afrophysics]

Could his trait be the clone? That would mean he has a MB trait, air trait, and second use (throw it). That would seem the most fair as it would go away if he got hit, and he could drop it on command if its in a bad spot

 

[Lokheit]

@Lokheit , do we know which move is his character powers (4) and which are gear abilities?

No idea yet, the main theme seems to be kori weapons and klones, but probably some will be gear (my guess is the klone projectiles and the command grab, probably the ice puddle too, but I'm not sure, we will have to wait).

 

[exisTenz]

I would guess Clone is his trait and Puddle is the gear move

 

[Mind Flex]

Character Crisis Averted. THANK YOU NRS GODS

Tyler said that klone is his trait on the actual reveal stream

Cool, I didn't catch it. Now it would be interesting to know if the klone projectiles are alternate inputs for the trait, regular moves or gear moves.

 

[Agilaz]

How about that win pose though?

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

I think the two kick string might be a new B2 for him.

 

[Tanno]

@tylerlansdown , can you tell us a bit about his moves?

 

[Tanno]

FDF2!

 

[Mind Flex]

Cool, I didn't catch it. Now it would be interesting to know if the klone projectiles are alternate inputs for the trait, regular moves or gear moves.

My instant reaction was that they were gear moves, but now I'm slowly starting to believe (hope) that it's alternate uses for the trait.

 

[Lokheit]

How about that win pose though?

You even get the sound of the head getting separated from the body lol. As close as it gets to a fatality without showing actual gore and it really captures the spirit of MK. I had doubts about how they will capture that and they totally nailed it.

And the Supermove is swag on steroids (and I hope he keeps the starter hit for future X-Rays lol).

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

What if regular clone doesn't freeze on hit? I really don't know how likely THAT is but it's a possibilty if the other clones like the air divekick or the slide ones are in his default kit.

 

[doomfarmer]

I'm so glad they brought back some of those pre-MKX animations. He looks like a perfect mix of everything that makes him... COOL. Right guys? Guys?

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Well I like Aquaman and Fate, but maaaan I don't know if I'll keep playing them with Sub out soon.
