Mortal Move Review

Uppercut: Weak
Jump Kick: Good
Roundhouse: Awesome

Sub-Zero is another fighter who lacks high power offense. His Iceball is easily blockable. The Ground Freeze is easily avoidable. You must bait your opponent into jumping towards you then get them, either with the roundhouse or the Ground Freeze. If you do hit your opponent, always do the Ground Freeze underneath them. They will have to jump away in order to avoid slipping on the ice. Sub-Zero is a good close range fighter, with good low jabs. The Slide is still a great move, good for close range fighting and at the end of a combo. Copy and paste rule.

Combos

Jump Kick - Slide
Jump Kick - Hop Kick - Slide
Jump Kick - Ground Freeze - Uppercut
TAK - Hop Kick - Slide
TAK - Hop Kick - Ground Freeze - Uppercut
Air Jab - Ground Freeze
Air Jab - Hop Kick - Slide

Jump Kick - Slide
Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the slide. If you do not kick low and deep enough, the slide may not connect on human opponents. It almost always works against the computer though.

Jump Kick - Hop Kick - Slide
Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do a hop kick, followed by the slide. Easiest when your opponent is frozen.

Jump Kick - Ground Freeze - Uppercut - Slide
Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the ground freeze. Kick them deep otherwise they will land beyond the range of the ground freeze. If they slip, hit them with the uppercut then slide.

Ending

Played by: Daniel Pesnia

When Sub-Zero failed to return from the Shaolin tournament and rumor of Shang Tsung's survival reached the Lin Kuei clan, they immediately sent another assassin to complete the task. This new warrior is actually the younger brother of the original Sub-Zero.

He enters the outworld contest and accomplishes his task. He learns of Scorpion's foul vendetta against his brother but will never know why his life was spared. Perhaps a third tournament is in his future?
