SHORT AND FAR DIVE KICKS:
In the moves list, it specifies "Dive Kick (Far)", so through an educated guess, we can assume they must have "Dive Kick (Short)", for two reasons.
1. He has these in MK9.
2. No other dive kick in the game specifies the distance as Sonya and Kung Jin both have one dive kick range.
ONLY ONE VIABLE ARMOUR OPTION:
Slide.
Judging by the other moves, like Ice Ball, Drone, Dive Kick etc, none of these moves leave him with an armoured option which every character in the game has bar Quan outside of Warlock, and considering Sub has armour on his MB Slide, it is a reasonable assumption to say that the MB Slide will be his armoured move, and at that, its not a bad one, I'm guessing its around 8-10 frames like Subs.
DRONES:
From what I can see, the drone could be a little air ice bomb, maybe something you detonate manually?
But, from the short clip, it appears that they enhance his specials, as his Ice Ball had damage over the duration that D'vorah was frozen, and I can only assume, his normal ice ball does not have damage over time.
It doesn't seem that crazy as it looks like its about 5%, and it doesn't carry over while they are not frozen...maybe the MB Ice beam will do 10%?
I really hope that, if that is the case, he doesn't need to have a drone on screen to do a simple ice ball...
I also hope that they drones stay indefinitely and that they don't just disappear...
I also hope they can connect together, somewhat like Master of Storms...
This is the move that will either give him utility or just be something tacked on. I think it all might hinge on this move.
DIVE KICK MB:
In MK9, they did a lot of damage, but they give you no real hit advantage, but they were safe with proper spacing.
Hopefully in MKX, there is a reward besides damage for using them on hit, either a knockdown, or some major hit advantage to get whatever offence he has started, no idea if they will put armour on them, but Kung Jin has a totally safe MB dive kick, so who knows how strong they will end up being.
ICE BEAM:
Same as MK9, except it is incredibly fast. If I had to guess, I would assume this is the perfect projectile to destroy other projectiles, but who knows if they will give it this property, seems an obvious choice though.
This move was used to trade with other projectiles in MK9, should be used similarly in MKX, considering he doesn't have a teleport, which is what all the other bots will be using them for, this could be his answer to that.
BOMBS:
His bombs in MK9 were absolutely terrible...
I would assume that because Cyrax's bombs are now low, Cyber Sub's should follow the same trend.
He has a stupid bomb rule in MK9, if he placed a bomb while the opponent couldn't block (that includes if the opponent was doing a special move, jumping, laying down, or using even a normal) the bomb wouldn't freeze...
Hopefully the design doesn't follow that horrendous and nonsensical format this time.
DIVE KICK OVERHEAD, BOMBS LOW?:
If this happens to be this way...he will have incredible set ups, and this speaks for it self.
Low Bomb, into overhead dive kick.
NO MENTION OF TELEPORT:
All the other bots have teleports, Cyber Sub doesn't appear to have one, no idea how that will effect him. But I'm MK9, he just had a pallete swap of Cyrax's teleport anyway, so it isn't really his move.
NO MENTION OF PARRY:
Who cares, parry's in this game are absolute trash anyway.
IDENTITY:
The character has no real identity as all his MK9 moves were either unused strings from other characters and his moves were palette swaps.
This is a chance for him to have his own identity, this could be achieved by giving him his B22 or 34, or 332 from MK9, his variation specific strings should help separate him in the same way Smoke's smoke bomb string does...
I am terrified that how terrible this character could be, but I am also incredibly excited.
Thoughts?
