Anyone XBone goons have Sub-Zero yet? I tried to look for him in the store but didn't see him.

Really irritating that something that was advertised as coming out today isn't accessible.

He's been available. Look for pack 1 in the store and you can see the individual breakdown of each part you have. You should have a Sub Zero tile that says "owned" but not "installed". Click it to download.

Only day 1 and with the way he works I know theres gonna be mountains of stuff more in the future to figure out with the clone and the like, but its a solid start off to Sub-Zero.

Sub-Zero gets a unique line for Catwoman but everything he says to Captain Cold could be generic lines with anyone

I kinda like that MK vs. DC is still sort-of in canon for Injustice.

Unless...

Is this Ed Boon teasing us that the next game is MKvDC2? :tinfoil:

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


They'd have to be more choosy about the roster since there's quite a bit of overlap between MKX + IJ2 in terms of character moveset and design.

Can't wait to see Captain Cold in another NRS game though!

It's interesting as a precursor to the systems that went into MK9 and Injustice, since it introduces stuff like breakers and stage transitions, and as a game, it's a massive step up from where MK was going before it.

Its biggest problem is that it gets degenerate once you reach any skill level above beginner. Green Lantern and Flash both have 45%+ combos off their breaker, and IIRC, Sub-Zero gets really stupid once he has a full rage meter. Also, as was already mentioned, the T-rated "fatalities" are just sort of embarrassing.

As a Bane main, Sub-Zero can die in a fire please. The hitbox weirdness with wakeup slide is ridiculous. As a character whose main tool is freeze, B3, ouch time, he's basically the ultimate Bane counter.

Hmm yeah I would probably play it just for shits and giggles. I HATED that era of MK though which is why I never played it. Maybe if it ever becomes backwards compatible

I enjoyed the Deception/Armageddon phase of MK mainly because they stopped giving a poo poo and just threw all these ridiculous characters out there.

I actually miss some of them, like Havik and Ashrah, who were cool designs and concepts

Okay I absolutely love Sub-Zero and it's making me mad. I wanted to hate him since I only want DC characters in this.

I find it interesting that Black Adam might have brought him to this Earth.

Depends on the tournament but usually its 2 weeks for most tournaments in most games for either new characters, or a new patch.

So no, Sub-Zero ain't gonna be at EVO.

Makes sense that the most broken character in the game potentially summoned yet another god-tier character into his universe.

Been sick as poo poo this week but from the little time I spend with Sub-Zero, can already tell he is loving insane. The speed on this guy combined with the power of his specials+meter burns is disgusting. You'll absolutely see him in tournaments constantly.

Unfortunately, back when Batwoman was a wanted skin, Boon shut down the possibility of genderswap premier skins. Makes sense when you're considering hitboxes.

Hey ya'll just FYI there's a goon fighting game Discord server and we'd love to see people pop in to chat about Evo this weekend! If you're not familiar with Discord it's basically just a super good chat client you can use with a browser or desktop application, 100% free!

Here's a link to the channel if you're interested: https://discord.gg/PpEHwGj

I picked up Catwoman as a secondary for when I'm bored of RKOing people outta nowheeeerrrrrrrrrrrre and she's great. There are a lot of strings to memorize if you want different ways to open people up, but once you get a few that you like you can basically just pressure all day changing up the way they have to block, until you get a MB cat dash and then it's time for pain. My biggest weakness right now seems to be optimizing her in the corner, but in midrange and neutral she seems amazing (compared to my usual style with Bane where it's basically a wash if I can't get the corner and hold it, and neutral is a poo poo show.)

I can actually do most of her BnB stuff more reliably than I can do most of the really tasty Bane stuff... which is scary given how big the differentials in practice time are :negative:
