General/Other - Unbreakable Open Letter to MK Tom Brady

It is without question that you’re regarded as “THE” Premier, & Definitive example of a Sub-Zero Player; this is simply an undebatable & objective truth.

Like many others before me, I’ve become a fan of your playstyle & character of choice. I'm simply expressing my continued support of you as a player, as well as see you continue to push Sub-Zero to new horizons; that will (let’s face it) just go unnoticed.

You’ve proven to this Community time and time again that you are the Grandmaster of Sub-Zero; now it’s time to prove to them that your bond with this character is truly Unbreakable!!!!

As the leader in innovation for Sub-Zero, I urge you to continue to push the envelope on the following fronts:


1. Establish to the Community that the Unbreakable variation is just as viable as the Grandmaster variation in competitive play.


2. Establish to the Community why the very THREAT of the Barrier of Frost, WILL change the opponents behavior in ways that are beneficial to Sub-Zero.


3. Establish to the Community that having extra health in close games (Enhanced Frozen Aura) & taking no damage from ANY form of blocked pressure (Frozen Aura) DOES matter!


4. Establish to the Community that having a FREE (albeit risky) tool to discourage ANY attack that’s not Jump-In or X-Ray (Barrier of Frost) DOES matter & once mastered WILL force opponents to respect Sub-Zero.

I would support but every time Brady gets in these games now, all he does is whine and complain (which makes for a great salty report, but in real life it's annoying as heck.) He needs to stay loyal to Sub-Zero and just try to find something to work for him. It's like every time I see something about Brady on these forums, he's always jumping ship to another character (that get's nerfed sooner rather than later) and he always comes crawling back to Sub-Zero like all is good again.

again? didn't he just come back? lol
Hard to keep track of his retirement proclamations. All I know is that he was playing Diablo III last night and people were begging him to play MKX and he said "Nope, never coming back. Get used to this (or something to that effect)."

Or....we could just watch another stream, Tom.

Problem is, you can't straddle the fence. Tom is torn between being a character loyalist and wanting to compete. Sometimes even the best of efforts to try and make a character work aren't enough, so he is faced with the options: dont play competitively or pick up another character. Not exactly the best feeling when the character you want to play competitively can't compete. Hope Tom figures out which he enjoys more and comes to terms w with that.

I'm not terribly sure if I would go as far as to say that Sub-Zero can't compete. There's still so much we don't know about any of these characters despite what any of these tournament verdicts would have you believe. I think there's just been too much of a closeminded approach with Sub-Zero & the way he should be played (Grandmaster or die).

Tom isn't playing right now because, & this is according to him, "that loss at evo hurt me". We all know Sub-Zero can compete on the highest stage in his Grandmaster form, but what happens when someone pushes Unbreakable to the extent that Grandmaster has been pushed to thus far? I'm dying to find out.

I think everyone is buying too hard into the notion that because other characters are dominating so much right now that this character can't compete; keep in mind that this game is about matchups; that goes for characters, their variations & the players themselves.

Remember that.

Unbreakable is one of the weakest characters in the game. He has the lowest damage, his parry is useless against multiple projectiles (parry one, eat another due to recovery time on shield), he has no reliable anti air (not even the one two his other variations have), by using his no chip potential he only allows characters with fast meter building to break his weak combos whenever he gets to start them. He is not viable at high level play in his current state. He's fun casually though.
