Sub-Zero is a straightforward, primarily defensive character who combines elements of his previous incarnations in NRS titles, including his overhead/low 50-50 game, ice ball, slide, the notorious ice clone trap and even Cyber Sub-Zero's dive kick. Many of his special moves can clash with or destroy projectiles, making it difficult to zone him out. While his primary mid, F1, has been slowed down from pre-release builds, Sub-Zero can still demand respect on offense thanks to his 50/50 game of overhead or low; he synergizes well with Kameos that help him stay safe when mixing his opponents as well as increase his reward for guessing right. His dive kick also gives him some much-needed mobility as his ground speed is lacking. Deadly Vapors, a tracking ground attack which slows opponents down, serves as both a combo extension tool and a chip damage option to close out rounds. Sub-Zero is arguably the character of choice for learning the fundamentals of Mortal Kombat 1 as his toolset is easy to understand and teaches skills that translate well to other characters. | |||
