[Seapeople]

This thread is meant to be a reference that shows the hit level for all of Sub Zero's attacks.

Terminology:
Low: Breaks through the opponent's guard when they are blocking high.
Overhead: Breaks through the opponent's guard when they are blocking low.
Unblockable: Breaks through the opponent's guard whether they are blocking high or low.
High: Whiffs against opponents who are neutral crouching or crouch blocking.
True Mid: Does not whiff if the opponent is neutral crouching or crouch blocking.
Special Mid: Whiffs against opponents who are neutral crouching, but doesn't whiff if they are crouch blocking.
Various: Some attacks will change based on the character you are fighting against. This is because every character has a different sized hitbox.

Thanks, and that's fine with me

I'm pretty sure B2 is an overhead, or maybe half charged B2 is overhead.

I think I'm going to sticky this thread anyway. Let's be serious here, we can't pass this guide up.

Props to Seapeople for his effort.

Updated the hit levels of b1. Let me know if the way I organized it looks bad. I was trying to figure out how to keep things from getting cluttered.
1 also hits special mid against a few characters so I'll get it updated soon. Other than that I think the guide is pretty much complete

this character could of been so good with one launcher type combo to extend upon.
