This one's for you
I need some general info . If some one could direct me to the correct threads that would be very helpful.
1. what are the special properties of each of his EX moves?
2. when some one gets knocked down they can:
you can't tech right? Also, can you do an ex get up attack? Thanks
- stand straight up
- roll back
- or do a get up attack
1.
-Ex slide switches you & your opponents positions. It also has armor which means that it can go through a projectile or a physical hit from your opponent, but you still take damage from the attack. Ex slide is good for getting out of your opponent's pressure, switching positions to put your opponent against the wall, or ocassionally sliding your opponent into an ice clone. Not worth using in a combo unless it will kill them. This is generally the only ex move worth using.
-Ex clone keeps the ice clone out longer than usual, but if you get hit it will still disappear. Not worth using because it's usually a waste of meter.
-Ex freeze keeps your opponent frozen on the ground a lot longer than normal. Only useful at certain times in a few matchups like Reptile, Cyrax or Jade. It's usually just as easy or easier to make a trade with the regular freeze.
-Ex ice puddle goes full screen, but it's extremely slow. Ice puddle is bad.
2.
When you get knocked down you can...
-Stand straight up.
-Hold down or down+block to stay grounded.
-Immediately press back to do a "tech roll" backward.
-Do a wakeup attack (the timing takes some practice). Sub Zero's only wakeups are the slide & ice clone, and you can use the enhanced versions. All wakeups are invincible for the first few frames, which means you won't take any damage during that time.
-You can also tech roll into a wakeup attack, but you will lose most of the wakeup's invincibility.
This thread shows a lot of important Sub Zero strategies, especially in the "Sub Zero 101" videos.
