Sub-Zero vs Reptile wake up glitch?

If anyone can better explain this please do.. but


I can't really explain this one too well. But i was testing if it was possible to stuff a wake up attack with sub-zero's overhead F+4 the moment the wake-up attack comes out. I picked reptile in hopes that I can possibly counter the EN. Elbow dash (which you can see i can't) however, I noticed that when i do connect a F+4 against other wake-up attacks, in the start of the video.. he gets F+4 xx iceball and instead of being frozen in place... he does not become frozen at all... though closer towards the end of this video (41 seconds).. i stuff a wakeup attack and he becomes frozen. I have not fully tested this against other people.. but this can happen against reptile if he does any other wake-up except for elbow dash or EN. elbow dash.

I would guess that it's a mechanism to prevent trapping against characters with weak wake-up options.

I think you waited a teensy bit longer between your final f4 and ice ball. Try testing it with the AI on constant block.

you are hitting attacks that have 6 frames of invincibility but take longer then 6 frames to come out. thi sis common in mk9 because moves that take 7 frames or more wakeup will only be invincible for 6 of those frames.

the freeze bug happens when you hit an opponent on the very first frame after invincibility. its being fixed.
