I loved playing this on Mkx back in the day. As a blind player the enhanced slice was nice to use during combos. Because sometimes it was hard for me to try and see if my ice ball hit. I know it makes a freezing sound but still not a bad version of Sub Zero at last not bad in the right hands. Love the vids keep up the good work. Stay safe and god bless.
Hey underdawg. There's somebody commenting on my comment from the other day trying to be you saying I'm a winner of something. Somebody out here to trying to run games in your name
@@williammelin1671 Yeah I keep deleting and blocking them but they make new accounts :( It is a real problem on UA-cam right now. Tons of channels are dealing with this nonsense
@@billyanderson8149 Because you play around it since you’re already used to playing Unbreakable already. I mean compared to the other 2 variations it can be more difficult to get in or deal with keep away. It’s not the worst variation like a lot of people say. Drunken Master is still the worst.
It's not what you got with sub zero, it's how you use him. Sub zero is not played aggressively in this setup. He is played conservatively defensive reactive. This unbreakable setup is actually his best setup for defense. It's simple, if you try to rush me you pay for it. It makes you respect sub zero in the unbreakable setup.
@@lonewolfmp2691 I think he's saying with a name like _Unbreakable_ Sub Zero, it should be obvious this kit is made specifically for defense and won't play like other Sub Zero kits.
What I think is sad about Sub-Zero in this game is that of he had all his tools from all variations, he would be one of the strongest characters in the game.
@@aidnwosih I think he meant the core Sub zero tools. Ice ball, Slide, Ice clone. Let's say all variations had all these, then other tools for different variations. Take Scorpion for instance. His core tools are spear and Teleport. But in this game they even gave him teleport cancel and then the variation tools. Take Liu kang too. His core tools are fire ball, flying kick and bicycle kick. All his variations have this and then some. You get what I mean?
@@josesena6416 Yeah! The variations were good introductions in MKX. But instead of perfecting it in MK11, NRS completely ruined it amongst other things
Saying it doesn’t match up well with any variation is crazy. Unbreakable was REALLY effective in countering crystalline Tremor and any Liu Kang variation.
@@jesuspernia8031 id say in general cryomancer is the only general viable variation because any character with a double hitting projectile or instant air projectiles doesn’t really need to worry about grandmaster mid screen. To me unbreakable and grand master are counter picks for a few characters and cyromancer is THE sub zero variation.
I don't think it's useless by design. Just buff the dmg a bit and it can become high risk high reward and there are people who loves that. Having a buff and a parry who can complement each other is a good concept in itself.
@@ToughVato I see where you're coming with this but no... Fiora ain't high risk high reward cause she scales harder than anyone in a 1v1. Therefore, there are no risks to play her. Plus, there are no dynamics where her w complements her e.
The point isn't that it's useless, it's that it's uses are niche and not good. There's no reason to pick unbreakable when the other 2 variations are much better
@@blackwingdragonmastahmm, this variation being useless is the point he was trying to make. The big ass thumbnail saying "the most useless" wasn't enough to convince you? Lol as for the two other variations being better, that's just a matter of buffing here and there, cause By DESIGN, the unbreakable playstyle should work, it justs needs adujstments
Injustice 1 joker, funnily enough, wasn't the worst character in the game. Its a common misconception. Characters like cyborg and scorpion are much, much worse than joker.
@@Stevie-D651 nah. A character who does no damage, completely dysfunctional without meter, and literally no saftey, is bad. The other mixup characters do much better than scorpion.
@@Stevie-D651 i know that, just wanted to show that even in his best variation tremor needs meter to that, and still hes armour is only 1 hit, while sub zero's is infinite hits
I really do miss this multiple class style character system they had in this game. Yeah there were the cookie cutter classes for meta, but it was always fun seeing those under utilized classes.
I think the issue was they locked too many signature moves behind specific classes instead of building the classes around new moves, keeping the signature stuff as universal
When MKX first came out, the argument could've been made it was the worst variation simply because of how bad it use to be before the variation got buffed in the 2 balance patches later on in the game's life cycle. If I remember correctly, barrier of frost had a longer start up that wasn't 3 frames and definitely had less recover time. So if it came out, you were already far more unsafe especially whiffed along with the fact the barrier parry window didn't last as long. With frozen aura, It didn't have the frost bomb added explosion and it didn't have the after freeze after doing enhanced slide. So when it came to vanilla MKX you had a variation where your parry was nearly useless and your frozen aura had no real offensive capabilities which bordered on variationless is where the argument comes from.
I have used this variation in few local tournaments and i loved! The play is you have to activate the barrier of frost in between gaps, when the opponent is pressuring! Love that!
I believe Lex Luthor's shield trait takes no block damage at lvl 3 but it dose get taken out by Superman trait, even while blocking. Lex is a under represented character in Injustice 1i would love to see a vid on Lex in the future
Here's how I look at it every single character in any fighting game ever no matter how useless or how good can be uncomplete monster in the right person's hands you just got to know what you're doing and anyone can be good
In theory, that's correct. However, if you take two players that are equally skilled with their respective characters, the character with the better tools is going to win.
I never thought the Unbreakable was bad, but definitely not great either. I'd honestly rank it somewhere in Middle B Tier because in the hands of advanced players, Unbreakable can very headache inducing to play against. The mind games you brought up with guess whether they'll go for the Ice Aura or Ice Parry is a lot more effective than you let on. Beyond all that, there's not much really going for or against Unbreakable.
This video makes a glaring omission - in the final patches of the game, 99% of characters that had armored moves that launched for a bar got their moves nerfed to where they needed 2 bars to both have armor and launch the opponent for a combo. Unbreakable Sub-Zero was the only character that wasn't affected in that way in the game. Therefore, as long as he had a bar and aura, the character could launch you for a combo from up to 2/3rds of the screen away. So, Unbreakable stopped opponents from playing neutral in a way that most other characters could only emulate by using double the resources. As far as tier lists, Unbreakable stopped being at the very bottom of the list well before the final patches had been rolled out - once the parry, aura and ice burst got buffed, he was no longer bottom tier material.
Ohh, that is an interesting point. I suppose the issue is that Grandmaster can do that too. Place the ice clone, MB slide for armor, then the opponent gets tossed backwards onto the clone.
@@TrueUnderDawgGaming He can, except there are characters that make the clone null and void (Takeda, Ermac and Kenshi) who at the first sign of the clone, will do a special/normal that will break right through it. Yet all of them have to respect the EX-Slide once Unbreakable puts up the aura because if they don't, they'll get launched.
What’s with ice characters and not taking chip damage? Reminds me of Ice Man in MvC2… down to having a cute gimmick that doesn’t redeem a meh character. Still, I like the idea of this Sub-Zero play style. Maybe they can bring it back and buff it in another game?
Unbreakabke is sooo close to being viable! It just needs some buffs or maybe a third move to make it more unique. Having the aura activation be plus on block would’ve gone a long way
I believe Predator also takes no block damage when he amplifies his invisibility, but please don't take my word for it because I'm not 100% sure as of yet.
He was talking about a variation Unbreakable vs. Grandmaster Sub Zero. All characters have this fighting style system that can combo into each other for damage increase and hits. Unbreakable Sub Zero has more cons than pros is what he is trying to say.
Depends on the player... I can play every character at a high level, every variation, in mkx and I'd say mileena has one of the worst variations.. I can play every mkx character but then again, they dumbed that game down so bad, that every noob can do a 300+ combo with like 4 buttons, thanks for crushers.. MKX, the first person to drop a combo, loses.. at least wit the people I play with.. I mained takeda, Sonya, Cassie, Kenshin, erron, kotal, etc. Same I switch my character every fight in both games but again, mkll, they dumbed it down for low tier players.. I'll give credit to fujin.. he was the only character that gave me a bit more time to actually get down cold.. now I fly juggle like he's my new tonya
Wild that I’m coming across a video saying this version of him is low in the ranks, I’ve gotten obliterated by unbreakable sub zero MULTIPLE times, bro I’ve blown fuses idk how tf he’s underrated☠️☠️☠️☠️
I always liked using variations people didn't use much. Marksman erron black, dragon naginata Tanya, spectral ermac all can be really good too in the right hands.
His kit isn't bad at all. There just isn't enough in it. Unbreakable has one the lowest string counts/combo counts. Very little juggle options. It's an extremely defensive/counter-heavy kit for a game that wants you to be aggressive. All this is also why his combo damage is higher compared to others.
Honestly that didn't make sense when you said the negatives equal out the positive. At face value sure but in actual matches where people always love to counter poke the parry is a solid. And saying that new players love to jump attack is thing yes. But that just means you need to be able read your opponent which is easy because some people can't let go of jump spam and are easy to counter with other means. Not to mention you forget that the aura gives subzero enhanced slide a combo extender by freezing the opponent in the air which I belive makes it the only armored combo extender in the game.
I used to think getting called a casual was an insult but as a guy who didn't know they had a frame counter in the game...... I'll agree that I'm casual af
Unbreakable was the main variation I used when playing subzero. I don’t think it’s useless it depends on how you play. For me it was high risk high reward with the combos I’d pull off. With other players I saw some using him very defensively utilizing his parry a lot.
To be fair grand master were superior, but it could lay down a lot of pressure with the aura, and had great dmg. I prefered unbreakable aswell, and I was pretty decent in rankings.
@@TrueUnderDawgGaming I don't know how to send a link. But the UA-cam channel is called "Destroyer FGC". He shows gameplay footage of pros using all sorts of characters in MKX
He would be great if he was given that frozen parry stance that cyber sub-zero had in MK9. It had a longer parry time and was more forgiving to throw out at times, just add an enhanced version of that parry to extend a combo
Bro I mained unbreakable sub for over a year before MK11 and trust me I stomped most players, he was like the only guy left with an armored launcher/combo extender after the big patch that removed them
9:25 warrior is predator's second best variation, actually. He has fast armor (unlike others), stable jump confirms + instant overhead (unlike other ones) and some swag, so he's much better than hunter but still worse than hqt
the way you explained it made it sound like your playing rock paper scissors when you go for a combo reminds me too much of for honor where 90% of the game is hoping the other guy chose the wrong move or praying that you chose the right counter to a move
Hmm no mention of f4 aura being plus on block for pressure and ex aura after f4 jails into 50/50s. Also mb slide with aura on reaction to projectiles and as a armored launcher is what makes this variation so good.
No character in Mortal Kombat is bad as long as you know how to use them. Someone who is comfortable with the moves, knows the combos and devises a strategy to win matches could make use of this character. It is that wag with every fighting game.

Ahem, Mr.Dawg, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
Woulda been kinda cool if they threw in his tombstone teleport in this variation.
That move DEFINITELY needs to return at some point
Ngl I haven’t ran into this variation enough online to give an opinion on it😂 usually I face grandmaster sub and every now and then a cryo
He would be great if he was given that frozen parry stance that cyber sub-zero had in MK9. It had a longer parry time and was more forgiving to throw out at times, just add an enhanced version of that parry to extend a combo
2:27 - 35% for no meter? you spent meter to get that launcher =/
You do great job at explaining pros and Cons
It has one advantage over almost all others, the one bar armored launcher.
Bro I mained unbreakable sub for over a year before MK11 and trust me I stomped most players, he was like the only guy left with an armored launcher/combo extender after the big patch that removed them
I'm pretty sure crystalline tremor meter burn buff nullifies chip damage too.
Less used? I mean this is the Variation that dude used to beat Netotigr’s Jacqui.
Poison ivy also has the mud move that removes block damage
9:25 warrior is predator's second best variation, actually. He has fast armor (unlike others), stable jump confirms + instant overhead (unlike other ones) and some swag, so he's much better than hunter but still worse than hqt
Ultimately you are anything you do so basically the character you play is only as good as you are because it's you not the character
TrueUnderDawGaming: sub zero is a useless here
Also him: *shows a combo of sub zero*
I don't even play Mortal Kombat but i found this entire video lol, very entertaining way for you to explain the basics too
I love when he's explaining the zero block damage reptile's attacks are just show as high low or mid so some of his attacks are just mid
the way you explained it made it sound like your playing rock paper scissors when you go for a combo
reminds me too much of for honor where 90% of the game is hoping the other guy chose the wrong move or praying that you chose the right counter to a move
I love your intro music 💯🥇👍
TRUEUNDERDAWG HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY MY FRIEND HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING TOO MY FRIEND
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TOO MY FRIEND
I feel like unbreakable is a good character to play passive-aggressive with knowing the options he has
Can you do a video on every characters best variation in mkx?
Much like the other comments I wouldn’t say he was terrible but unbreakable couldn’t compare to his other variations
He’s not bad, it’s just that he’s not as easy and fighting game players are scrubs who go for only the easiest characters that take the least skill
I love this variation. In fact, when I fight new players, I come across I always start with unbreakable subzero, one of my favorite variations in mkx
As someone who still plays OG mortal Kombats, this is strange af to watch. I miss deadly alliance and deception.
Never thought sub zero would be the victim this time
Hi and New sub
5:14 here I believe in *Unbreakable Sub-Zero Supremacy*
Hmm no mention of f4 aura being plus on block for pressure and ex aura after f4 jails into 50/50s. Also mb slide with aura on reaction to projectiles and as a armored launcher is what makes this variation so good.
Slav Zero doesn’t exist, he cannot hurt you
Slav Zero:
No reptile was harmed during the making of this video
I actually picked up this variation as a joke but now that version of sub is what i mainly play because its just really fun
All 3 variations of sub struggle vs Possessed, imo. Still, good in depth look at the character's least seen variation.
2:20 that's incorrect you spent a single bar of meter for that 35%
Unbreakable sub is one of the most fun though
“You merely adopted the cold. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn’t feel warmth until I was already a man but by then it was nothing but SCATHING!”
No character in Mortal Kombat is bad as long as you know how to use them. Someone who is comfortable with the moves, knows the combos and devises a strategy to win matches could make use of this character. It is that wag with every fighting game.
I play unbreakable and it does have his advantage of chip damage, and it works really good at the end of a fight
"35% for no meter". Then proceeds to do a 35% combo with one bar
