The Mytholigies Sub-Zero is identical to the MK4 design because Kuai Liang is wearing his brothers clothes in honor of him. I actually dig it for that reason.

It warms my heart to know Max loves "Shredder" Sub-Zero as much as I do. To me, that is GRANDMASTER Sub-Zero. You get kidnapped by the Lin Kuei and they drag your tied up ass into a large room, they toss you to the ground and you look up...and THAT'S the guy who's sitting on the frozen throne.

MK1 is surprisingly up there for me. It's simple, but I really dig it.

As someone who wants Shredder in Mortal Kombat more than any other guest character, I hope we get the Shred-Zero costume in MK1 so I can at least pretend I got my wish...

It's surprising they haven't used the iced mask that the first movie had, more. It's such a simple idea, but it fits really well.

This is definitely my new favorite thing you’ve been doing, I’m super excited for more

Crazy Sub-Zero is the only character that has appeared in EVERY MK game

Something to note about both Sub Zero's is that they are Half Chinese/White, as they were originally born American but taken to the Lin Kuei when they were Kids. Hence why Kuai looks "White" in 3,DA, and X.

Dear Max, I know that this will probably get buried in the pile, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the awesome content you make and share with us, and for being a beacon of relentless positivity. You’re one of a select few channels that I would happily watch regardless of the type of content you produced, simply because of the positive vibes you put out into the world. In an increasingly cynical era, people like you stand out like lighthouses in the dark, and I can’t thank you enough for that. You continue to be, as ever, an inspiration to me for my own channel, and I don’t know if I can think of a more sincere compliment than that. Best, -NB

Deception Sub Zero is the absolute coolest he's ever looked, why hasn't Shredder been a guest character yet!?

I think we all know what the 10/10 outfit is gonna be

Here is the thing with the change with Sub Zero: the actor who played the ninja, Daniel Pensia l, was fired for using his character as Johnny Cage to promote a rival fighting character. Likewise, many people who play Subby in 2 dont believe the fact that he was Kuai Liang so to proof that 2's Sub Zero was not the same as 1, they gave him a big change to establish that this sub is not the same as bi han.

Sub-Zero has always been my favorite character in MK. Being a TMNT fan, I loved his Deception outfit.

Subby's MK Deception "Shredder" Look is STILL the Best!

Tbh sub has my favorite design out of the Lin Kuei ninjas in mk1, it’s the shoulder pads that really do it for me. I think the shoulder pads actually being present and having shape that goes out makes it look a lot less like pajamas. Still love all the designs tho NRS did a great job.

Watching Max’s series of these has definitely shown me that I’m the opposite of him when it comes to character design. He seems to often prefer what I would consider to be overdesigned and busy and I tend to prefer what I view as more simple and streamlined.

Deception’s Shredder armor is his best look so far, with Kuai Liang’s MK9 look being my 2nd favorite. If he has to go maskless, his best is X with the beard and blank white eyes. My issue with the maskless look is I always prefer him with longer hair like how he looked in his end game cinematic in MK 2 and the MK Annihilation movie. I’m not the biggest fan of how Cyber looks, but I love his move set and how his Kori Blade looks. 

Mk deception sub zero hits different

literally the coolest MK character

This series is so perfect. Taps into why I loved the old Rate The Kostume videos so much but takes a new angle by honing on the design progression rather than one game at a time. Sooo good. Some of the best content to come out of any MK hype cycle

Man I'm gonna miss Steve Blum performance not saying the new va is bad whatsoever so far he sounds 👌🏾

Sub Zerro is my favorite design of the 3 Lin Kuei Ninjas in MK1. It's simple, but it's got enough extra details like the ice hands and the shoulder pads that make is stick out from Scorpion and and Smoke. It's the perfect blend of detail and simplicity

I'm so glad he took a nostalgia trip with my favorite MK character! Keep up the awesome content Max 😄

Sub-Zero's "Shredder" costume in MK11 is the best he's ever looked!

The "Batman Ears" didn't come in MK4, they were actually around since MK1. The comic/character book art has the ears. The 1995 cartoon thing had them, I know some of the toys had them. They've always been there back then.

"He's just the cooler scorpion." Sounds accurate...

Fun fact! John Parish, the unmasked Kuai Liang actor in MK3 also played the roles of every other pallette swap ninja in UMK3!

Honestly Deception Sub-Zero was his most unique and awesome look imo and I am just happy they acknowledged its existance and added it in MK11.

Subzero character wise is probably who I'm looking forward to the most in mk1 I hope they keep him alive instead of making Bi-Han noob again

3:36 but you gotta understand that was cool for that time. Imagine that sub zero with todays graphics

Mrgstar321's little rant on the alternate deception look is still hilarious. I'd say the deadly alliance masked alternate and the mk vs dc are my favorites. I dig the icy arms

“I think he’s the cooler Scorpion.” I see what you did there, Max.

MK vs DC, MK9, Shaolin Monks, Deception, MKX, MK11, and MK1(with a Mask that’s a Mixed of Shaolin Monks and MKX), are the Best Sub-Zero Skin, now do Smoke or Rain Next.

I always look forward to this new series of videos! Keep up the work Max!

Shredder Sub-Zero is totally my favorite look on the guy

Yes dude! Been waiting for this one. Love this series btw. I'd watch hundreds of em spanning all kinds of fighting games. Character design choices are always so interesting.

Giving revenant sub zero a 5 is crazy that costume is sick imo

Sub Zero is the coolest character in Mortal Kombat

I love this series

Deception sub zero will always be my favorite I think.

Sub-Zero’s win pose in the 1st game is the exact same as Scorpion

Definitely would love to see a visual history on Kitana/Mileena/Jade. The male and female ninjas always had to most interesting visual evolution in MK to me

I think out of all the characters in Mortal Kombat, Sub-Zero probably has the highest constancy for having great costumes.

I absolutely ADORE Injustice 2 Sub-Zero. Seriously almost tied with Deception Sub as my favorite design. Deception Sub is just too dope so i can’t quite put them even. But I loooove Injustice 2 Sub-Zero. He was also my main in that game.

Shredder Sub from Deception will always be my favorite!

Love the injustice incarnation of subzero and scorpion.

I LOVE THESE! THANKS FOR THIS SERIES

Sub-Zero, my favorite ninja warrior of all time. Even ed boon said that when he created him that he wanted to give the players a free hit when he froze his opponents. 2:55 John Turk (Sub-Zero of MK trilogy, MK mythologies Sub-Zero) My Best versions of Sub-Zero that I like 6:28 MK Deadly Alliance Sub-Zero 7:51 MK Deception Sub-Shredder Zero 11:36 MK Shaolin Monks Sub-Zero 12:18 Cyber Sub-Zero 13:53 Grandmaster Sub-Zero 15:10 Injustice 2 Sub-Zero 16:15 MK 11 Sub-Zero

Loving the series. Please keep it up

MK1 ninjas are by far the best they ever looked. They have been overdesigned for years.

MK Sub-Zero on the Genesis had the same stance as Scorpion but had fatalities, whilst the SNES had the same stance as the arcade version but no fatalities.

The best part about this visual history is that he ended up playing MKX for an hour after this

The moment I've been waited for since this series of videos started for mk 1

I always go fancy on the mask/helmet when I draw the MK ninjas, besides color its the one thing that gives ninja some personality before adding a bunch of armor. Love deadly alliance design with frozen arms but the Shreader Sub blow me away back then

Really interested to see how their tackling Kustomization in MK1. Everyone's looking pretty good but I liked being able to mix-match lime MK11 and INJ2

Shredder Sub just can't be topped. I also must admit that I'm a huge fan of the Kold War Tundra Sub-Zero. I think its fuckin kool...

Oh snap! perfect timing. I was just relaxing to your MK Sub Zero Mythologies playthrough. AAAAAAAAHHHHH

I’ll always love the klassic Sub-Zero looks from MK1 up to UMK3/Trilogy. But my all-time favourite outfit is his 1995 MK movie look. I don’t know, I just love it. Very simple, yet very satisfying with the klassic slick blue tunic, the nicely crafted design of the mask, and the sleeves are a welcome addition too.

Would love to have Shredder-Zero in MK11 unlocked, but for some reason it was LOCKED to a Aftermath pre-order and it never really appears in the store.

I legit love Injustice 2, Sub-Zero,so much more than Scorpion's design in Injustice 1. Shredder Sub-Zero, Ice Arms, Old Man MK11, all are just great looks for him.

Max likes it when the ninjas look like samurai

I like these new series , looking foward to more characters designs ratings Max! ✨☝🏼

Love this series so much. Can't wait for more of these 🤌

Please, keep this series up!

Max I'm sure you've heard this a bunch but I absolutely love this series and cannot wait to see more

Loving this series max. Keep it up dude 🤘that yoshimitsu video was a wild ride.... like being in a caddilac with johnny Depp and Benicio del toro😂

I've always liked Sub-Zero and my fav design is his MKX default one

I was waiting on this one Max

It's weird how Sub-Zero's scar appears and disappears randomly throughout the games.

In am REALLY loving these vids watching you compare the looks. Getting some good laughs when we get to some of the WTF looks!

I saw someone post this on reddit, admiring you making this series after the reptile one.

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ❄️

8:10 MK Deception was definitely peak Sub Zero design. But that alternate costume.. let's just pretend that doesn't exist.

“A Visual History” is such a fun series!

Shredder-zero fans rise up With the amount of changes sub has gone through it almost feels canon considering he always tries to explain the Lin kuei TOTALLY ARENT NINJAS. My man did his best to convince people over the years that he’s just given in recently and accepted it

Loved the Shaolin Monks Stream last night Dood

MK3 Sub looked dope, as a kid it was cool seeing the Ninja have individually looks, I was pumped as a kid

I'm so out of the loop on gaming, but I get a real DMC vibe off of the MK1 ninjas. It's hard to go from a bunch of grown men to skinny young lads with pop star hair cuts.

Great new series 🔥

3:15 I Spat Out My Soda When That Comment Was Said 😂

The reason Mythologies and MK4 are identical because it's the exact same wardrobe. Bi-Han wore this in Mythologies with the simplistic choice being deliberate to reference MK1 (1992) since the game takes place before it. It's basically an updated version of that. Kuai Liang took up his older brother's outfit in MK4 to finish what he started and help Raiden fend against Shinnok's forces. Keep in mind he's still a deserter of the Lin Kuei at this point in time. The outfit is more for his brother than them.

Shout to Max himself ! Where IS your on classic visual History ? It will be goated 🐐🐐🐐

Visual history video LET’S GOOOOOO!

Mkx for me will always be the absolute coolest sub has ever been, especially with the variation differences. Everything about him in that game screamed ice cold badass.

I'm really hoping we actually get Shredder in MK as a guest at some point, especially after the Turtles being in Injustice. THe amount of alternate costumes he could have is in no shortage (especially looking at the design he had in the Turtles' arcade ending) and he has a LOT of potential as a fighter being a ninja/samurai mix.

I love sub-zeros injustice 2 design (it’s his second best after deception imo)

I actually LOVE Ice-Wraith-Ninja SubZ from MKX. His stance with the one balled fist and the other flattened palm! LOVE everything about it.

MK11 Sub-Zero looks like he's wearing a Robin Hood hat...

I’m glad this is becoming a series

Kuai Liang is my favorite character in the franchise, having grown up always using Sub-Zero in MK games. So now I'm at a weird place with MK1 where idk if I wanna use Sub Zero or Scorpion as my main since Scorpion is now Kuai Liang lol

Was waiting for this one

im so glad that im not only one that loves Deception Shredder Sub

mk9 is my favorite sub costume most definitely. i love imperial guard dog and oni faces on the armor with the blue wraps. it’s great.

Man the “I hate to tell you, but the points are made up and the score doesn’t matter” got me good 😂🤣😂🤣

He looks more like Ace Ventura than Batman in MK4

0:22 should’ve went full Arnold with it man. Ice puns are chill

At first I was wondering how we weren't addressing those sweet brows. Then I got to the end, 10/10 like Shred-Zero,

4:27 "I think this one's like 👹a five👹"

Shredder Zero and Shaolin Monks Sub Zero are the best designs. A great take on Classic and a great Revamp.

Started with Bi Han ended with Bi Han
