This one's for you
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.

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 :)
