Go to hell.
I'm going to do my in depth analysis of Sub Zero.
Strengths:
D4
Corner pressure
Keeping life lead
Weaknesses:
Shitty Damage
2 whiffs on low hitbox characters (which are very popular)
Slow
Zoning
Sub Zero gets zoned way too hard. He is so slow, slide isnt really a slide at all, and ice ball has ass start up. His damage is too low to compensate for the few times he gets in to matter. 2 not hitting low hitbox characters is obviously a mistake. Sub's corner pressure is lessened due to everyone having an armored fart. Really, all he has is his phenomenal D4. m2dave says zoning is Sub's weakness, and that should stay, but come on it's the reason he is so awful is he cant fight zoners at all!
I personally believe that for Sub Zero to be a heavy hitter, tournament taking character again he needs:
-2 to hit neutral crouch/crouch blocking opponents
-Damage scaling taken off of freeze
-Slide to be a high crush OR better start up/recovery on ice ball depending if NRS wants Sub Zero to be an offensive or defensive character
-EN Ice clone to eat armor
-A regular hitbox so he can't be jailed
I want to see Sub Zero taking tournaments again. The only reason he is so poor is NRS updated the game but forgot to update the arguably second most popular character in the most popular fighting game of this year and last. I really want NRS to give Sub Zero his power back, because right now he is naked and missing an arm fighting Kabals and Kung Laos.
I'll continue to use him out of character loyalty, but Sub Zero could use some help. According to the vast majority of the community, Sub Zero has no tech left. He is pretty much complete. And while characters like Jax were shot from Shit tier to S tier, Sub zero has done the opposite. He needs to receive some last minute loving so he can give some beatdowns out to atone for all these months.
