Here's full patch notes if you'd like to read them, sub's nerf is mentioned

 

[DJ89]

Oh cool , i didn't see that , sorry about that .

 

[PwnStar]

Can someone test if Raiden can still superman you through it (on block and hit)???

 

[Mighty Durpyena]

Ice clone was too stupid without a cooldown anyway

 

[rdw]

So how long is that cd ?

 

[Take$$$]

So how long is that cd ?

2 seconds

 

[Matix218]

2 seconds

Or in fighting game terms 120 frames

You mean when sub zero's stood close behind it , then yes raiden does not get froze both on hit and block .

 

[boba_buster]

Noticed it says when clone goes away on it's own . So no kool down when they break it right?

 

[ciaran carrick]

This looks like more of a fix than a nerf

no lol, it looks like more of a nerf

 

[SaltShaker]

Well since it goes away from breaking 99% of the time, this change should effect little.

nrs should of left this game ride for a bit b4 making changes as sub GM player it looks like il be disappointed

Looks like the Ice Clone freeze mid-combo in the corner doesn't work anymore. Can someone confirm this?

I am talking about:

B2, B2, D1, B12~Clone.

Still works. You just still have to time it when the opponent is close to the ground.

O, wise Spinky! Let me suckle on the teet of thy knowledge!

Good thing I use Unbreakable lel

According to Tom's guide it's a fix : http://testyourmight.com/threads/sub-zero-grandmaster-guide.49883/ ->

NOW YOUR CLONE TIME​

The Ice Clone is active for four seconds with a cool down of two seconds.

 

[LaidbackOne]

The b2 b2 d1 combo still works but you have to remember that if you start it while the clone is behind you for example, and disappears (during second b2) it wont come out after b12 because of the cooldown. Sounds like a pretty big nerf to me.

After further read I stand corrected: 2 seconds CD is not a nerf. But why the hell clone disappears after blocked attack? THAT I'd call a big nerf.

 

[Barrogh]

So apparently Raiden's superman has hitbox in from of hurtbox in MKX instead of how it was in MK9 lol.
I didn't know why what was happening to SZ's clone pre-patch worked that way, but it's a bit clearer this time.

They still have to get around the clone to hit you. Seems reasonable.

I remember autopiloting Raidens getting frozen during their teleport into b312 that pushed both Sub and themselves into clone in MK9.

Raiden's TP is shit now, but other characters with neutral tp may be MUs that sometimes can be affected by this change. That, and oldschool aggressive subs that would step in front of their clones sometimes got hit. Not that they needed to do that a lot in mkx though...

have you test it out? I thought after a clone disappears you have to wait 2 seconds more? I'm using PC so I can only wait and looking around to anticipate the upcoming nerf
