Exactly, great observation DR. Otherwise you could just keep popping clones in the corner and never need to block, the opponent will be trapped. I for one am grateful I can sometimes get through the clone with a poke. Blood God Kotal Kahn has no moves that could deal with a clone other than just wait it out.
You think the klone is supposed to allow this? You can't be serious... What the hell would be the point of the klone if you could just poke through it lmfao
there's a thing called EX move, you do it by adding block button while performing the move,, try it, it's easy,,
let him be man, either he's trolling or he's really afraid of the klone and don't want to level up
Yeah im a Kotal main as well
Tell me what EX move a character like Blood God Kotal has?
Why the hell would the clone crumble on block if they didn't give the opponent a way to get through it to force a block in the first place? You're a flippin child if you don't understand the logic in that. Go back and QQ and suck your thumb baby
Literally every character in the game can jump over the klone with an aerial attack and make it vanish at close range without getting frozen. Please stop arguing when you clearly don't play the character and have no idea how the klone actually works.
I see where you're coming from,blood god kotal really doesn't have an answer to it.But he has war god that blows grandmaster up.I'm a day one kotal main and I know the struggle but I learned that you really need to pick your variation wisely against certain characters that you otherwise thought you had no advantage against.
to break through the klone? none. but you got a 2 sec cooldown, and you can always bait him up and force him to block, it's just the the way sub's play.
In my opinion its because it was never intended to be used as a repeatable corner trap. There are plenty of other uses for the clone that dont involve requiring it to have a massive pixel perfect hitbox.
It was like that in MK9. It was obvious klone will be mainly a corner trap tool in MKX again. And mind you, Sub0 sucked in MK9 big time. And he could place air clone there, too. People weren't impressed though.
You're right, I don't play Sub Zero in MKX, but I can tell you I'm not some damn noob that just started playing fighting games. You talk like it's easy for someone to just hurdle the clone and attack Sub Zero. The only time jumping the clone works is on an aggressive jump in while clone is just being set up and the jumping attack happens to hit Sub Zero. When that happens, it's Sub Zero's fault, should've popped the clone sooner. By the way, the only time I am ever lucky enough to get a poke through the clone is when a GM Sub pops it in the corner attempting a trap. When that happens, a Blood God Kotal has very few options. Usually, it's a waiting game but if the range is just right, my S1 will maybe get through without getting frozen.
halfway?
Nice video and thanks Tom for showing the problems that still exist with ice clone. How can anyone argue for limbs to go through the clone and not be frozen.
Here's a "frozen" snapshot to better illustrate the problem for everyone who doesn't see it.
"Just adapt and deal with it, like we all did when we whinged nonstop till Sub was nerfed and the changes left his mechanics broken"
On a scale of one to "has-zero-awareness-and-accidently-runs-into-clone-everytime", how mad would you say you are right now about losing to a a lower tier character with zero impact on the competitive scene everytime you play against him?
