MOVE LIST
Basic Attacks
Lin Kuei Storm
1,2
High, Mid
A high into mid attack that is mainly used at close-range to punish unsafe moves.
Frozen Over
F+1,2
Mid, Mid
A mid attack that can be hit confirmed into a combo.
Spinal Tap
B+2
Overhead
An overhead attack that launches for a combo. While unsafe at -23 on block, it can be thrown out occasionally to catch opponents off-guard for blocking low.
Permafrost
B+3,4
Low, Low
A low attack.
Special Moves
Ice Ball
DF1
High
A slow high projectile that freezes the opponent allowing for a combo. When enhanced, it destroys the opponent's projectiles. It's useful for trading with enemy projectiles.
Ice Klone
DB1
Mid
A clone made of ice that appears in Sub-Zero's place, lasting for a short duration. It negates enemy projectiles and freezes the opponent upon contact allowing for a combo. When enhanced, the Ice Klone lasts for a longer duration. Ice Klone can also be slightly enhanced by tapping EX, or enhanced twice, creating 3 Ice Klones. It's mainly used to stop opponent approaches and to trap opponents in the corner.
Ice Klone Charge
BF2
Mid
A mid projectile that travels across the screen. When enhanced, it destroys the opponent's projectiles. It's mostly used in zoning to keep opponents away.
Ice Slide
BF3
Low
A quick advancing low attack. When enhanced, it switches positions with the opponent, grants armor and becomes unbreakable. It can be used to punish unsafe moves from a distance or thrown out occasionally as a surprise attack.
(Air) Diving Glacier
DB4
Mid
An aerial attack that stuns the opponent allowing for a combo. While unsafe at -16 on block, it can be more difficult to punish when blocked low to the ground. When enhanced, it launches for a combo.
Deadly Vapors
DF4
Mid
A mid attack that appears beneath the opponent, slowing down their movements. When enhanced and the opponent is hit prior, it freezes the opponent allowing for a combo.
COMBOS
Midscreen
Sub-Zero's combos start by freezing the opponent with Enhanced Deadly Vapors (DF4+EX) and launching with B+2. Combos can be ended with 1,2 into Ice Slide (BF3).
F+1,2 DF4+EX B+2 B+2 U+F+2,1 1,2 BF3
MEDIUM
325.48
Using Ice Klone (DB1) as the opponent falls will extend the combo for additional damage. However, these combos can be a bit more difficult to execute.
F+1,2 DF4+EX B+2 B+2 U+F+2,1 DB1 U+F+2 4 BF3
HARD
339.74
Corner
In the corner, Super Meter isn't required in order to start a combo. If the opponent is hit with attacks such as 1,2 or F+1,2, using Ice Klone afterwards will freeze the opponent.
F+1,2 DB1 U+F+2 B+2 B+2 U+F+2,1 1,2 BF3
MEDIUM
331.94
When using B+2 in the corner, the 2nd use of it must be slightly delayed. Otherwise, the opponent will be too high for the move to connect.
Higher damage can be achieved by spending Super Meter on attacks such as Enhanced Deadly Vapors (DF4+EX) and (Air) Enhanced Diving Glacier (DB4+EX), however the damage increase is very minimal and is often not worth it unless the combo will win the round.
F+1,2 DF4+EX B+2 B+2 B+2 4 DB1 U+F+3 4 BF3
HARD
