To do so, he must fight his way through Shao Kahn's tournament.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Male Ninja Normals: Male Ninjas have a great LP, HP, HK, RH and Uppercut. Glitch Jab Launcher: CSub's launcher (HPHPdLPdHP) begins with HP, so it can be glitch jab option selected. LK, HK, Sweep Punish: CSub punishes LK, HK and unsafe Sweeps on block at any range with Slide. This is especially useful when combined with his glitch jab launcher. Freeze can be used as a punish at close distances. Good Punishment Mode Combo Damage: CSub punishes blocked Teleports for around 50%.

Male Ninja Hurtbox: The Male Ninja hurtbox is the status quo for UMK3 combos. Expect most combos to work against you. Highly Dependent on Glitch Cancel: Many of CSub's relaunchers require Glitch Cancel. CSub's launcher can whiff without Glitch Cancel. Poor Throw: The Male Ninja throw is negative on hit. At worst, it is universally punishable by uppercut in the corner. Weak Crossup Anti Airs: CSub has trouble anti airing crossup jump attacks. Most of the time you are forced to Uppercut or try a risky Slide. Weak Mids: CSub's mid auto combo only does 19%. Tall Running Hurtbox: CSub cannot run under instant air projectiles like Kabal's instant air Gas Blast or Mileena's instant air Sai.
