Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel Death's Cold Embrace!"

Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

I didnt add this combos you put
32% B+1,2 - Ice ball - Jump Punch - 2,1,4 - Slide
34% B+1,2 - Ice ball - Jump Punch - 2,1,4 - Power Slide

Because they do the same damage than this ones i posted and they are easier
32% B+1,2 - Ice ball - 2,1,4 - Slide
34% B+1,2 - Ice ball - 2,1,4 - Power Slide

actually this one is 35% not 32%

B+1,2 - Ice ball - Jump Punch - 2,1,4 - Slide

and this one does 37% and not 34%

B+1,2 - Ice ball - Jump Punch - 2,1,4 - EXSlide

and with Xray its 53%

B+1,2 - Ice ball - Jump Punch - 2,1,4 - Xray

They do 35, 37 and 53 because you add jump punch at the begging you can do that with the combos i posted and does 35, 37 and 53 too and they are a lot easiert to perform, and more lag-friendly lol

I performed them many times in training mode to compare and i can swear yours and mine do the same damage.

B+1,2 - Ice ball - 2,1,4 - Slide
B+1,2 - Ice ball - 2,1,4 - Power Slide
B+1,2 - Ice ball - 2,1,4 - X-ray

EDIT: the jump punch in the middle is neutral or normal? anyway is still the same.

no they are without jp starter. and JP,214xxBla is a normal jp (f+u+1/2). NJP (U+1/2). Trust me, these combos are my BnB. I know them by heart (:

compare the dmg to those I've posted before. With Jp starter its even more ;)

Yh i believe you, but I perform them and they still do the same damage.
Is the jump punch a neutral or normal forward jump?

EDIT: What is BnB? I googled and everywhere says "Bed and Breakfast" but i think that not it lol
 
Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

as said above the JP is a normal (Forward+UP+AnyPunch)

BnB = Bread and Butter = My Basic/Mostused/Reliable Combos (:

edit

thats why u have to step back:

b+12xxfreeze, stepback, JP,214xx(EX)Slide/Xray

gn8 ;)

Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

As far as the jump punch goes mid combo its actually a little easier to just cross it up instead of steping back its advantages are it shortens your timing window a little and can also simply mess with your opponents head

does crossing up mean, to jump over his head and attack from the other side? well, i use this to get the opponent in the corner if hes trying to push me into it. So its situational.. depending on position game!
 
Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

How should Sub-Zero be used to win against a really good Kung Lao?

*You should add a matchup section in the first post
 
Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

Yes crossing up is going over their head and since a lot of moves involve inputing left or right directions it can offten cause confusion by your opponent in those split seconds that can mean the difference between a win and a loss

sure, but jumping on to your waiting enemy is very risky. A good placed AntiAir gets u juggled or thrown back or what ever. if hes frozen u can jump in safe, and than it depends on position gaming and getting him into the nearest corner.

Edit:

Kung Lao is really hard, his Spin is damn fast and his divekick gets him out of punish situation kinda easy. So basically try to punish him.

Teleport - Punish him instantly with 22xxfreeze and go on. Or Block and get into neutral-game. 22, 224, etc

EXTeleport - Hard to react to because it has armor. But same as normal, just let his first appearance wiff.

Projectiles - Go for Freeze exchange, Blockdash or Jump in Safe Situations and Combo him.

DiveKick - Block and Punish him.

Spin - Block it and try to Punish him. His Spin is very fast and its recovery time is also fast. So theres just a short moment for punishing.

If u get Comboed break him, especially in the Corner. Otherwise u will eat alot of damage.

I think it would be a good tip if you put that 22 can be used as an anti-air against an jumping enemy
 
Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

my sub-zero uses alot of ice clones to control space but today I faced a cyrax online and he was teleporting all over the screen. It might have been lag issues but I could not punish the teleport at all, any tips in case I run into the same senario?

well, thx to delay u have to input the 22xxfreeze before hes appearing beside u. I guess ..havent conquered a cyrax/cyberSub user online.

and subs clones are really important in any matchup.
 
Re: Sub-Zero Thread - "Feel the Cold Embrace of Death"

Ill try to add matchups later. Thx for the info rinc-e
Im pretty good with SZ but I only play him offline in ladder or 2P versus because its not a good character for the actual laggy online, SZ's slow speed + lag + input delay + smoke/scorpion/noob spammers, makes almost impossible to get good matches with him.

the secret is blockdash and PUNISH! thats all u need for online.. sure the delay sucks bad ass ..but u gotta remember, the enemy is experiencing that too.

Sure there are moments like "WTF?! WHY DID THAT SHIT NOT BLOCK?!" and ur feeling kinda raped ..but remember, its just a game (:

Also playing Sub online isnt easy. but not impossible. I've played some good zoners today. and my fear matchups so far are a good Ermac, Sheeva (reacting to her teleport is hard with 2 sec delay, with 0.5 its "ok") and Kung Lao/Raiden! Raidens teleport is fast and good for punishing careless thrown icebaals AND clones ..this feels even worth than KL sometimes ..

But anyway hes my most used char (online/offline) so far.

edit: We are allowed to swear, no **** anymore?? ^^

Well, actually I did 150 matches online and in 90 I was using Sub-Zero (I lost just 6-7 times with him).
Play defensively and the match will be yours

I don't know how many matches I actually did but I didnt lose that much either ..but the lag can be really annoying. (dropping combos/punishes etc) I've played mostly king of the hill. Its fun. But the delay is unpredictable ..first match = 0,5sec - second match = 2sec - third match = 0,2sec - fourth match = 5sec (Thats really hard, u feel like watching a comicstrip)

I didn't experience much lag online yet...maybe I'm just lucky :)
