someone was getting trashed in college with sub zero and they have hated him ever since. thats my guess whose at nrs

a wise man once said, "MK1 is POKE... POKE..POKE...POKE.. YOUR TURN MY TURN. YOUR TURN MY TURN. AHA GOTCHA MY TURN AGAIN" summoned up perfectly

Sub can't even finish his combos all the time if the last hit is in the air. The opponent just falls down. It sucks

The harshest critics are the biggest fans. Hopefully every patch they will give more to each character/kameo because this patch is definitely a step towards the right direction. MK will never be what it was but I still believe in the potential of this game!

I hate when people say you're an MK hater. You HAVE MK IN YOUR F**KING NAME! 😂

Why are M1K youtubers so... careful when 'criticizing' an obviously sub par game?. They just sit still let NRS and WB rail them. idk... its annoying.

Maybe they don't hate Sub Zero, they just enjoy trolling Tom so they can get some good content.

They hate Kung Lao too with what they did to him giving ALL his moves to his kameo. Also when did mk2 Kung Lao have low hat? NEVER! It doesn’t make sense. Give man’s back his moves NRS.

I hate how they did Sub Zero so dirty in this game. My favorite character has to suffer because Scorpion is Ed Boon’s favorite smh

As a subzero main, I agree with everything you said. I never used ice ball because it takes forever to come out and I get punished. The slide is “okay” but I always get punished. Even if I put in slide before their projectile finishes, they have enough time to down block and punish. I have played as other characters and they are so easy to play and get something to work. Subzero is so limited compared to the rest of the cast. Very simple and I hate it. I still play as him but still have so many issues playing as him compared to everyone else.

I'm SO GLAD you made this video. Sub doesn't get to play. He needs a whole new string, and maybe some buffs to his special moves.

I wonder why NRS is so scared to buff up Havik and get rid of excessive gaps in a majority of the male ninjas strings. I agree with the sub changes you want. Reptiles: b131 should only have a gap on the 3rd hit. They fixed 114, so cool, and his f21/f31 should only have a gap on the 3rd hit. Rain: extend the reach to his 2nd hit of 11 and takeaway the gap to the 3rd and 4th hit of 211 (where the water goes up into overhead before the final hit of the string that is). Also, his whirlpool should go away on hit if the opponent jumps in and lands on it. Scorpions: 12, 21, and 33 shouldn't have gaps. Also, make his db2 safe on block at -6. Give him back his teleport launcher with a use of meter or the option to hold down and cancel out of it like MKX and MK11. Also, take away the new string they gave him and give him an f324 low starting kick string like MK11 that f3 can kombo into spear. Last but not least, give scorpion his front flip overhead hard knockdown from MK11. Smoke: Get rid of gaps in his f12 but leave the rest of the gaps for both extended string routes. Get rid of the gap on f31 because it can be upblocked, and let the last hit of b234 come out on block. Sub: i wouldn't mind keeping the gap on 12 if they got rid of the gaps on f12 and 21. But also all the changes Tom asked for. As for all the male ninjas, they should all be able to kombo into cyrax net like peacemaker or recently like Rains buff. Havik needs gaps removed as well and he needs help with some moves pushing characters too far away when he has subby buttons. Give Liu Kang a parry as well as Li Mei only because its so fitting for them. Not that they need it. Nitara needs a lil help, but I haven't played her much to know how to fix it. Other than that the rest of the roster just needs a few gaps removed from certain moves and the game would be much better. As for kameos. They need to make cyrax and lao go back to normal with meter regen, make Darrius meter take half for all his assists, make Stryker run in front of the player like the rest of the kameos so he can't just throw bombs as safe as he is and change a lot of summon moves to ambush that aren't projectiles. Last but not least, add a 2 bar push block and a 1 bar armored flawless block reverse that resets neutral mid screen (2-3 character space away or a full jump in away) but like the recent Ermac trailer.

this video is the best thing you could have made to strike back against people who call you a mindless hater. no one who just hates would make a video talking in depth about frame data changes they'd like to see like this. you put in serious thought to all your proposed changes and it shows a lot of passion for the game

Im convinced they do this because they watch toms vids

It all started in 2019. MK11. 16 Bit said it for himself. "The Ice Clone is gone" Now look where we are today..

To be honest all your sub points are valid. People hate playing sub cause players run throw the clone out and just spam projectiles behind it. All you have to do is get a cameo to counter it. The sad part is ppl prob wouldn’t complain as much if people actually used him properly to apply pressure and traps and then use it defensively to keep an advantage.

It's sad Sub-Zero is getting crapped on. He is good in 9, but low tier due to how characters are in there. MKX unbreakable is low tier, but grandmaster and cryomancer are good. Mk11 he was seen as the worst character until custom variations came out and he was seen as a top tier, though he couldn't be allowed to use his amazing floor freezing move. Now here he is just getting crapped on and not being able to be strong. This is so sad.

i know a character they hate more…his name is scorpion.. They literally let his 30 year rival take his place and he’s not even in the f*ing game

Subzero definitely need a big buff

Keep doing what you're doing.You're not an MK1 hater you're a Whistleblower

I’ve been dickin’ around with Block Breaker in MKXL lately. Minus the knockdown, I think added it to MK1 would “save” the game. If added, they could go bananas with the Kameos and not have to nerf everything.

Yea been a sub main since day one, dropped this game when I accepted he was never going to get buffed

Sikander's streams are gonna be a real treat

Every one of his special moves is punishable

Not being able to combo from subs ice ball might be the worst thing on the game. You literally can't start a combo without meter or a kameo.

Only hope is next patch and DLC, they add further moves to others and buff it more.

So many people when trying to buff sun go overboard your proposed changes don’t change the intention they had with the move, just making it fit into the game keeping their vision intact

I think I’ve found new hope. One day Ed Boon will step down and everyone at NRS will be canned and the studio and IP will be sold off by WB to people who care. We will get an actual good story again. The gameplay will be top notch and characters will be WHOLE! No dumb gimmicks like variations or assists. Just a whole character with their entire kit along with some new additions. It’s going to be amazing. It’ll take a while to get there but I have hope this will happen😂

Sub zero may going to have to sit this game out.

This is what happens when nrs hires former competitors as their employees.

WHY DO THEY HATE MY BOY KUNG LAO SO MUCH! He needs a redesign once it comes to his move list.

Thanks for making this video MKbrady. I honestly think subs 2 meter ice clone is useless. First off the pay off for it is not worth it because even when it does hit the Opponent is in an awkward position to combo that move should be taking out the game entirely I think they should keep regular meter enhanced ice clone but take that move out and replace it with unbreakable armor from mkx of course should have a good amount of cooldown but if they give him that it will help sub with a lot of zoning since his ice balls are so slow.

You know why tom since mk11 and you know who.

just look at the windows 98 autumn backdrop thats everything you need to no about how clueless current MK devs are

I haven’t played mk1 in months but isn’t the clone: one bar for one extended clone, one bar for multiple clones if triggered after the first clone and two bars for extended clone and 2 extra?

F123 being more safe and Deadly vapors scaling closer to beta would be great

KHAMELEON 😂😂😂😂 bahahah I LAUGHED SO HARD MKTB BC U R SO RIGHT !!

When it comes to.sub zero its specifically cuz they can't stand you Tom . Thats really what it is . If they could get rid of.sub zero to.spite u tom and.not face backlash they would

Gday mate. Do you play with standard pad? Or?

there are two possibilities either this patch is a desire to do things well or it's just a bait, in the case where it's a bait your character is screwed and will have to wait for the next mk

The way MK TB played SubZero in MK9 was Solid n Clean was very sick. 16 bit still salty to this day about SUB ZERO.

I remember everybody played the original MK because of how cool JC and the Ninjas were. Imagine the look on all our faces when MK2 came out and we find out jobber Lu Kang won the tourney and was the hero of the story. NRS has no love for the characters that popularize the franchise.

(Ba)Boon jerks off on Scorpion, so there you go... Dating way back, in the days of MK4, when Tobias had very little creative input, Boon began shoving his favorite down everybody's throat hard. This got very obvious in every piece of MK9 promotional material where Sub got his ass handed to him by Boon's yellow cocksucker. Even the menu had Sub getting his head blown off of his shoulders by Scorp. Maybe this is to be Boon's final MK game (hopefully), so he's going out with his Scorp taking a massive dump on Sub-Zero, who Boon considers a threat to his favorite's popularity. The man is infantile as hell.

I mean kameos have more than 1 move. Stryker also has a low/overhead mix himself yet no one uses him for that. He could step in and instead of completing the string. You low or overhead to throw them off even more. And put in their heads that is something that is on the table. For Sub changes. Remove some of the scaling he has to take. The more bar he spends the less damage he does. Open up his combo routes so you can see something other than his bnb over and over again. Like making his dive kick hit them then and then pop them up to give him another juggle option for combos and spend his meter on another option other than Deadly Vapours.

Hey Tom, I was looking over some old videos of Sub Zero in the beta. The Ninjakilla vs Xombat (Lui vs Sub) video, and Ninjakilla also says "I have to play so lame against sub zero" something along the lines. So it got me thinking why do you people just hate chasing so much? Like it's not fun but it's a valid playstyle.

(Ba)Boon jerks off on Scorpion so what other reason do you need? Ever since MK4, when Tobias had little creative input, Boon was shoving his favorite down everybody's throat and taking a shit on Sub-Zero in the process. The real disrespect began in MK9 when Sub-Zero got his ass handed to him by Scorpion in every single piece of promotional material. Even the menu was Sub getting his head blown off by Boon's yellow cocksucker. Maybe this is the last MK Boon handles (hopefully), so he wants to go out by taking a massive dump on Sub-Zero, who he perceives as a threat to Scorpion's popularity. Since the man is so infantile it hurts.

Never in the history of fighting games has a character controlled neutral and punished players for doing anything like Sub Zero clone. That’s why he is hated and that’s why I love playing him till the day I die.

I feel like the two og ninjas are not strong in this mk 🦂☃️

He has the slowest down 2. Everyone spams down 2.

Why do they hate smoke as well?

I’m not gon lie for sun zero tom gotta tell them to make his f124 mid string special cancelable on the third string into slide somehow

The Reason NRS Hate Sub-Zero: Cause that bitch killed Scorpion In Kold Blood

I don't understand the gaps in EVERY combo string. I don't understand wth they did with the clone. I don't understand why all of a sudden, now he can't use the ice ball in combo strings. And I don't understand the point/use of deadly vapors if u don't use a bar of meter, it's duration time is horrible

well said!!

weird that sub needs a kameo to make his specials safe on block that is pretty unique to him.

NRS are punishing the Klone for his sins in mkx, that shid was so broke

I’m a sub main since mk9. This mm1 i see ppl whiffing through ice clone all the time

Two reasons 1 he’s an alpha too. He’s your favorite character.Lol

Can you do a “ppoke ppoke poke ppoke, oh stole my turn, oop still my turn” simulation with Nitara and subzero lol 😢I always get beat by him Cause Nits is my main.

Awe poor baby 😢

On god

yeah I think he'll get more stuff for season 6. I hope its not because they are killing him FOR Noob. It's multiverse; you can have Both!! & Bi-han needs to stick around for the Cyber initiative.

Someone at NRS must have really hated Grandmaster Sub-Zero in MKX and vowed to never make Ice Clone viable ever again.

2 words: Stephanie Brownback

Sub zero needs a whole new moveset to be good in this game

Havik Mains are also not happy a lot of my fellow havik players dropped him after he NOTHING!!!

The fact that we have settled for statements like "this game needs 6 months to actually be good" is insane. The video game industry is in the sh*tter

I know that this sounds a bit slow probably but they also hate Kung Lao so he should be a villain or antagonist in a way like it seems like they keep limiting him so why not🤷🏽‍♀️

When Tom has to keep trying hard to be positive and not say anything negative tells me all I need to know, wr still don’t have towers of time, Kyrpt, paywalled content, online server issues

On the new season trailer, Sub zero was the ONLY character to get beat during his new skin display. That is how much they hate sub zero. Useless iceball, ice clone has a cool down so long its next to useless. VEry low damage and combo options.

They must hate Kung Lao more because all his moves went to his Kameo. Hope KL get some new moves that are not projectiles. Btw enhanced projectiles for KL don’t ADD SHITT to the projectiles

Okay my only concern about sub zeros ice clone is exactly what Tom said if he did have no cool down then you can just spam it indefinitely and you would be left with characters who would just zone him out non stop or like he said have to use a character who can teleport, but that leads to such scrubby gameplay which I thought it’s what he argues against, you would see less people engage up front with sub zero and see something like Jade vs sub zero in mk 11 all over again, I think his biased opinion really shows in this one. This is why that move has been such a disaster to balance out. At the very least I would say yes give him a lesser cool down on his ice clone and definitely let the ice clone last longer. I can see if they did remove the cool down completely to the ice clone that at the very least not have him be able to perform the move if the opponent is up in front of you so players can engage with him head on. I think the reason sub zero has a cool down in the first place is because unlike Kenshis sento stance even though you have two character that can hit you at least you can still hit kenshi one time and sento will be cancelled out for some time, while the clone there is nothing you can do the moment sub zero puts it front of you and you get hit by it your immobilized completely for full combo. I think the comparison he has made between those two fighters in the past is night and day.

They don't hate Sub Zero..they HATE MKTOM BRADY!!THEY HATE HIM. THEY WANNA SPIT ON HIS FACE. THEY SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT HIM. THEY GO TO HIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND LEAVE THINGS IN HIS MAILBOX.

Ed Boon: 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

This game is still frustrating. Every time I play I feel restricted. Movement, combo potential, and creativity all feel restricted and limited. IT SUCKS. The devs really put more effort into preventing cool things than allowing cool options.

Unpopular opinion but I can’t stand moves that can be cancelled during it. You should have to make a move and commit. Guessing highs and lows is enough without having to guess whether they are gonna commit to the move or cancel it.

They really do hate Sub Zero lol. It's been like this for over a decade at this point.

Its weird because i have the most trouble against sub mains

I play Havik & Sub 💔

THEY HATED ON INFERNO SCORPION 🦂 FROM MKXL 😢 TOO

He needs faster slide, faster ice ball. Man just bring back mk11 sub zero lol

For all you people saying sub is bad he’s not he’s probably the character that gets the most out of khameleon in the game which already makes him broke cause of how broke she is but even without her he’s at worst mid tier

Let me tell you i got absolutely destroyed by a sub this morning. So in my eyes.....bro needs a nerf 😂

They hate Shao too

That whole "pick a different character" is bullshit. Subzero is my favorite MK character. For him to feel so not viable hurts. He's the one I want to play. Yeah I can play Reptile and I can play Smoke and Havok. But I want to play subzero. But unfortunately in these games, he's either meh or crap and hated. Or he's really awesome and VERY hated. It sucks man.

He was god tier in mk11 and in mk1 beta version everybody asked for nerf After the beta realise remember ?

Bring back iceburst as well

The modern FGC's need to cater to new players/viewers above all else certainly doesn't help. Unless you understand what the Sub player is doing, a bait-and-punish, lockdown zoner may not be as cool as infinite offense. I'm not even a sub player necessarily, but I want all these characters to function. It's kind of crazy that I think all of these characters were more complete in MK11.

GO BRADY 🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸

If you were really a Sub-Zero fan you'd be playing Scorpion in this game, not this Sektor wannabe abomination to Mythologies. They literally turned Scorpion into Sub-Zero so just play him with a blue season 3 skin like I do. Scorpion fans are the ones that got it the worst when you think about it, Hanzo's gone and his rival took his mantle.

because he’s a sigma alpha male

Pretty obvious what NRS is doing. Create a DLC and make them OP so people buy and think they are good. Nerf that character after the majority of sales have happened. Create a new OP character and get people to buy rinse and repeat.

Bro they definitely need to give him back his 12 frame mid to add more layers outside of poking to stop mashing n duck os. 15 frames start up mids usually have range to justify it being 15frs. Iceball speed needs to be buffed because its current use is a bait for u to kill urself trying to use it. Hope they make slide a crouch slide with 16frs of start up so it's core purpose is to anti-zone, not braindead random sliding. Need extra mine games outside of clone so he doesn't get 9-1d by characters like quan n ermac

I think removing the gap on 21 would be better at tip range of d1 1,2 will not hit. Clone 0 cooldown it's standard for peacemaker, kenshi, quan chi, shang none of their core moves have it. Dive kick: leave as is Ice ball:speed it up allow it to combo meterless but at a heavy scaling cost its either that or make overhead faster and that's a no. Every other character can combo meterless this would be standard Deadly vapor: no scaling on the first use it's not a frozen state it shouldn't scale like one this also applies to 21.

Why is anyone still complaining about this game unless they literally don't have the skill to play better fighting games? MK1 is technically MK13. Between the first MK and MK13, when has Ed Boon ever produced gameplay better than pre-existing fighting games? Which MK is better than Super Turbo? Was MK9 a better fighting game than Tekken 3 (1997)? Jesus Christ....

Tom said Johnny can d1 punish Reptile 114 how you gonna talk about shit when you don't even know the game as it exists now?

My sub zero would trash anyone in this comment section that’s on $50 solana

Stephanie brown nose

Clone also has issues against poking.. Thats why first clone being lower would help. Enhanced clone doesnt do anything against teleports or stomps such as Quan and Mileena.. Even when they dont enhance specials. Why is that, no idea... Also, being so unsafe I wonder why we cant throw it as a projectile. Clearly ice ball is trash.

Late comment as always. Let's say NRS ''really hates Sub Zero'' why keep him in the game any longer. Let's start a petition to Terminate forever from the game series Subby + Scorppy. And instead beg Ed Boon to replace the fire and ice duo with Blaze and Glacius. They can become the new face of Mortal Kombat.
