what if this is the newer sub zero? his feats are alot greater now then the real one. like if you've played the newer mortal kombat games you see people getting stabbed and breaking bones and then getting back up. like in the opening movies for mortal kombat armagedon, deception, and shoulin monks. plus why cant sub zero freez glacius when hes liquified.
I dunno. In Mortal Kombat Mythologies (which took place before MK1), the older Sub-zero had some pretty great feats there (beating the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire Gods and what not), and had some crazy ass moves like the Polar Blast, a move where you freeze an opponent just by running past them, etc.
Likewise though, the newer Sub-zero had his ice powers enhanced when he got the Liu Kuei medallion or whatever, so it's debatable as to whether the new Sub-zero is really stronger than the old one or not (before the old one became Noob Saibot).
True. The Water God in MK Mythologies could liquify himself, and you could still freeze him. Should work the same way with Glacius.
Ah, I see. Using their ice powers to materialize things, for a lack of better word. Now that I remember, that's also how they got their weapons in DA (Sub-zero's sword and Frost's twin daggers).
Still, as impressive as that is, I'm not sure it beats out the original Sub-zero's Polar Blast, which freezes everything in range, or that of which you see on-screen when playing the game.
Use that 5 times if you have enough Urns, and it can even kill Shinnok when he's transformed into some monster.
And who knows how much more powerful those techniques would've become if the original Sub-zero got a hold of the Lin Kuei medallion like his younger brother did.
Super Polar Blast = WTFpwned (I believe that's what he tried using against Liu in the first MK movie, but had the move turned against him when Kang threw a bucket of water at it . PIS)
Are we talking the the story or are we talking about actual game play?
If it's actual game play, Glacious rips all sub-zero iterations a new one, without effort.
It would be really cool to see a MK vs. Killer Instinct crossover without messing around with any of the players abilities....KI players are much faster and c-c-c-combos can be endless.
It's usually story/canon only unless stated otherwise by the thread author. Gameplay's almost never a factor on Games Versus.
I agree about the MK vs KI crossover idea though.
Faster? Guess it depends, but combos in KI are never technically endless unless you manage to do certain exploits with broken Cinder, who ironically, is my favorite in the series..
Glacius charges at Subby to do one of those stabbing combos, and Sub-zero does a back-flip and uses the move where me makes an ice clone of himself to stop Glacius in his tracks.
And if Glacius decides to use the move where he temporarily turns himself into liquid and uppercuts the opponent from underground, Subby could arguably just counter that with his slide kick before Glacius even gets close to him.
Me too. Out of all the characters in the game though, never liked Glacius that much, but he's still pretty cool (no pun intended).
Glacius does have abilites to turn his hands into blades but sub zero has a blade also and what would the outcome be if he were to get Glacius in a combo with it?
