I like Sonya as kameo for sub, she opens up all his low combo Enders like goro but I like that Sonya automatically tracks the opponent.I like to go heavy on the low combos to set them up for overhead down the line, it’s like they gave sub the only full punishable launching overhead, rains is safe, kung lao, Johnny, even ashrah, don’t know why they chose to do sub this way
This is the same conclusion I've basically come to. I really liked playing him with Goro but the cool down just sucks so bad and the health penalty doesn't help. The only thing I dislike about Sonya is her handstand grab, it just doesn't set Sub-Zero up for very good combo potential. Goro's overhead grab on the other hand was perfect for extending combos off of pokes and regular hits instead of always using meter.
They took his f1 from 12 to 15 frames… His dmg scaling from f1,2 into deadly vapors is straight 🗑️ now…. Using 3 bars gives around 33-38% depending on the combo (w/ FB probably 41-43%) Corner combo 3 bars with Kameo and FB like 46-48% maxxx and you will struggle doing those crazy combos! They really f’d him up while every other character in the game is FAAAAR BEYOND better in dmg scaling and move set! Like if you go on my account and see from a few months back his f1,2 deadly vapors (3x) using 3 bars then b2 (1x) standing 4 FB did literature 53% lmao big big broken dmg. 1 bar with kameo was like 34-38% easy…. Let’s talk about how Liu, Kenshi, JC, Scorp, Smoke, Geras, Mileena, Baraka, Raiden and more do crazy dmg with 1-2 bars and kameo into 50-55% dmg! In general everyone is good in the game even Reptile is better than Sub…… NRS needs to give dmg scaling and f1 back to Sub at least minimum 10% and we can work it out with Kameo’s. He is my main with Reptile Baraka and Raiden but again he is literally 🚮 rn.
@@nerotheweirdo4755 they are doable lol still easy 40-42% but that’s about it… can’t surpass that this is why they should have nerfed 6-7% no 10….. how can we come up with combos and have no dmg lol
A fun thing I like to do with cyrax for corner pressure is to set up his bomb. All you have to do at that point is do a low/overhead mix up and special cancel into deadly vapors you can pretty much guarantee the set up for a full combo it’s kind of fun to do online. On another note if you can connect AMP deadly Vapor’s you can also guarantee Cyrax’s net to connect if time correctly. It basically grants you free bar drain 😂👌
Re: Motaro, his teleport is also notable for veing able to grab your character out of grounded hit stun. This lets players port out of hit stun between gaps in their opponent's strings or in anticipation of being hit out of their own attacks. Had a Shao Kahn pull that off on me during week 1.
I use sub zero with Sub-Zero for the projectile armor and shoulder check pressure/surprise attacks. It's not really good for optimal combos but it makes a good offensive defense. Optimal combos barely exist for him as is so it's better to chip 30% at a time with a few jabs between
With sub/scorp if you do forward LP MP then ex his ice trap then forward kameo with scorpions overhead can keep extending the stun for you to do overhead then lead it to some air kombos and then scorpions fire ball to keep that going make sure to use ice clone to keep it going I discovered that and I just blew my mind performing it
@FlashyyGaming lao or sareena. Goro is fine. If they buffed clones time it stays out up to 3 seconds instead of 1.5 sektor. Sektor would his definitive kameo. If they would fix either his damage or safety but as he stands now he doesn't function properly.
It's just unbelievable how badly they nerfed Sub down to the ground :/
I didn’t play any of the betas so I only know full release Sub lol he still has some dirt to him though
@@FlashyyGaming He does but they've significantly nerfed him down!
He deserves it (and more) for the terror he was in mk11.
@@Tryingcountssounds like you had a skill issue
@@grph1t3z sure
Keep griding with Sub guys, once he gets buffs we will dominate ranked.
Love this lol
They will 100% buff him ( Mad Hopuim + I am delusional)
It's rough out here, but I've been a fan of our boy since the original arcade games. I won't give up!

It is interesting that Rain’s is safe & Sub’s isn’t I didn’t think of that lol

Oh my God! The best kameo vid intel I've seen do far! Thank you so much for this! You Sir helped me a lot to pick kams for my chars. Awesome.
Happy to help!

Remember, sub zeros combo scaling goes up very fast, so the less hits, the more damage, and with sareena, you can get 39% meterless.
@@nerotheweirdo4755 lol idc about him anymore I’m with Baraka Cyrax/Scorpion Reptile /Scorpion/Sareena Smoke Sektor/Sub
@@Br1cksInTheTo1let baraka cyrax got mega nerfed

nice guide!!!! already hit like

Hey love the videos flashy lets see some ranked soon.
Will do!

Always cool when you can use two of the same character at the same time in this game lol

Second on that. Ive been playing raiden mostly Im curious to see what you do with him online.
Still haven’t explored much of Raiden but he’s on my list!
Try enhanced slide and Sonya projectile after sub slides under
Bro don't leave me hanging did it work...as a combo extender
When you do the self destruction hold block!!
Sub has no low combo starter without a kameo, which pretty much kills his mixup.
The one that lets you pick a different character
Kung or sub or frost I like when the ninjas have they own crew
I get 38 1 bar 1 kameo mid screen with goro on overhead, 35 on low nd got good corner carry to
Goro is a W 🙌
make a video on scorpion please :) love the vids btw
🤝
Realistically he has maybe 2 options for kameos and they can only help with his massive problems
which ones are you thinking?
@FlashyyGaming lao or sareena. Goro is fine. If they buffed clones time it stays out up to 3 seconds instead of 1.5 sektor. Sektor would his definitive kameo. If they would fix either his damage or safety but as he stands now he doesn't function properly.
I like sub with cyrax it’s fun and cool looking
Great choice! 💯
I wish Sonya was a viable pic for Sub (they are both my favorite characters in MK)
I still try to make it work. Low tier or not, I will always main Sonya and Sub
Sonya + Sub is pretty solid! Especially if you can get the timing on his low combos with Square Wave consistent
Its Goro for me. Makes ur overhead and lows safe, and you can combo off of 3,4/b3,4.
Great choice 💯
Whenever I play as Sub-Zero, I always choose Sareena as a kameo because yes 😀
Same here!
This guy is hyping up sub like he's good 😭
He is good and they will 100% buff him so don't get cocky kid we will dominate when they buff him again
It’s crazy how bad subs dmg is in this game, but I’ve had better luck in kombat league playing as sub, compared to raiden/baraka
I feel like not many people are as used to the Sub match up as they are Raiden & Baraka so you definitely have that edge when playing as him
GORO
Goro definitely a solid pick for Sub 💪
Yup.
scorpion.
Cyrax needs an immediate nerf
I’m definitely interested to see what they do to the character with the first balance patch
@@FlashyyGaming its almost like he's better than the playable characters themselves😂
cyrax is making average characters look good .
@@charlesunachukwu9147 even sub zero
I wish they just put him in the game
He was so good on the beta, now they nurfed my main sooooo bad 😢
