Him and Scorpion were in the very first one, and are still the favorite mortal kombatants to this date. After the Mortal Kombat Movies, Sub-Zero was added to the Good side, and got many new outfits. In Deadly Alliance he had a no mask one. And now has adopted a Samurai looking mask with his usual outfit. Bio 1: While still in Outworld, the Lin Keui Grand Master, Sub-Zero, discovers his true heritage -- the source of his mastery over cold. This discovery will aid him in the fight against the Dragon King's Tarkatan hordes. Bio 2: Unlocked at the Krypt Number AS C-3/Earthrealm I learned that the ruins were a holy structure belonging to a lost race of people who had attained mastery over cold. After throrough study of this culture,I now believe both Frost and myself to be their descendents. I laid Frost's body in a sarcophagus and left the catacombs donning the armor of my newly discovered heritage. First Person Bio: My fellow Lin Kuei Frost, had betrayed me and stolen my dragon medallion. Unable to control the medallion's power, she was consumed by her own freezing ability. I searched Outworld for a suitable place to bury her remains when I happened upon ancient ruins, carved into a Mountain Side. Alternate Outfit: Unlocked at the Kyrpt Number: RM Location: F-8/Earthrealm (7pm-9pm) His new outfit is his elders clothing style. His head is shaved and has a little rat tail at the end. Dressed in his usual blue suit. Defalt Outfit: This outfit, is a samurai looking Sub-Zero and the ninjas are very different now. Each with their own look, Sub-Zero still keeps his blue clothing. -Because of some much emails and IM's, I have decided to put in a note her that the mask he wears is very similiar to Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, thanks for all the info. Ending Summary: Sub-Zero is ambushed by the tarkantan's and a in a last-minute power up destroys them all, as he walks away a wounded tarkantan speaks the words, "Long live the Dragon King" Past Mortal Kombat History by johny_6_6_6 (lol unedited) (MK1-3) Subzero was used by the sorcerer Quan Shin(or how ever it's spelled) as a investigator and when he achieved his goal, Quan found no more uses in him and sent Scorpion at his tail having convinced him that Sub-Zero destroyed his village... (but it was Quan Shin) Sub-Zero killed him in MK, but then Scrop have been brung back to life to revenge... (explains the skull face from 'toasty' finishing move...) (MK4) At the point where you beat the game with Sub/Scorp, the cinematic goes about like this: one of the 2 is to the floor, almost dead(which one = depends on which user you used to beat the game...) then Quan Shin comes in and put sub zero to the floor if he's the one still standing and gets ready to finish him. He then explain what happened about Scorp's village and get ready to throw back Scorp in his prison-like realm (shadowrealm?) but as he was about to get suck in it, very VERY mad, Scorpion gets a last desperate move and take a solid hold on Quan Shin, bringing him with him... (Mk5) (Deadly Alliance) at the Beginning, they mentionned that Quan SHin has been emprisonned in the something-realm; that's because of Scorpion...he's not a Sub-zero alied, but he's not an annemy anymore... Scorpion isn't a Shao Khan/Dragon King/Quan Shin/whoever's pawn; he's just a lot soul that refused to die cause he wanted vangence... and he got it... The part about Frost seems right though; that's pretty much what happenned in the Deadly Alliance between thos 2 car... --------------- Sub-Zero Notes --------------- What is good about him? Sub-Zero has the ability freeze his opponents, stopping them in their tracks and allowing you to get a free hit. His specials are easy to execute and remember. Plus he has that look to him, that screams "Don't Mess with me" His weapon is a Kori Blade which cause great damage to his opposing fighter. He does have some good combos that are easy, like starting in Dragon and pressing, 1,2,CS which gives you a nice setup to 50/50 with your Kori blade. What is not good about him? Sub-Zero lacks easy combo remembrence and power. His combos can be hard to execute when you are on your tippy toes trying to stay alive in brutal online battle. (Keep in mind, this may very from person to person) ----------- Strategies ----------- What works well against the CPU? For some reason, the CPU will learn what you do if you constantly do it. For example if you constantly freeze them and then attack with the Kori Blade, in the matches to come they will block the freeze more often and attack you. To counter this, you need to mix up you attacks, and rotate your specials that you are using. What works well against veteran players? To be a veteran at this game, you have to learn all the cheap attacks people do and know how to counter them. I would normally suggested the Freeze and Ice Shoulder them, but they will see the freeze coming unless you can get close without them hitting you. If they come to you, use an Ice Clone move and freeze them in their tracks, allowing you to move on. What works well against medicore players? These players won't know how to block and stop these tricks. Ice ball to Cold shoulder works wonders, and following up with Kori Blades' Spinning Slash and Kori Uppercut, will get you the flawless victory blowouts you want. What works well to hit them into Death Traps? My favorite way is to use Cold Shoulder, because it can catch them off guard and send them flying. There are also many other great moves like his kicks, that send your oppoent flying, don't forget about freezing to aim them correctly. What works against him? Freeze should be no problem to block but be carefull getting to close or using a long combo because he can use ice clone which freezes you and gives him a free hit. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Moves will we listed with the combo needed to enter and then the name.

Sub-Zero's falls short of some of the great ones like Bo Rai Cho and Mileena's, but it still gives great damag to whoever you are fighting. ============================================ Ice Clone : D,B+1 : Rating: 3/5 ============================================ This would be the best move if it weren't so hard to use it's full potentional. Getting the CPU to touch this, is downright impossible and the only way a human will touch it, is if they are standing right there, and get caught in it. For blocking blasts it does a so-so job, and you could easily have done a regular block instead. From: Bahamut83 "Also, their is a very easy way to hit foes with this move, but it does take a little bit of foresight. If you see your foe start to do a combo (and your not hit by the first attack) lay down the ice clone. Since most combos cause the enemy to move foward, they will do their combo right into it." ============================================ Freeze Ball : D,F+3 : Rating: 5/5 ============================================ Sub-Zero's classic move is back, the ability to stop and opponent and give you a free hit. The only thing I can complain about is the fact that you can block this, even though your arm doesn't get frozen. ============================================ Cold Shoulder : B,F+4 : Rating: 5/5 ============================================ One of his newly moves in the newer games, this ability uses his ice to ice the floor, and slide across to elbow his opponent. This is especially well to use for deathtraps or following up on Freeze Ball. __________ ___/Fatalities\_______________________________________________________________ Switch to Fatality when announcer says,"Finish Him" F,B,D,F,2 : Fatility 1 (Must be fairly Close) Description: Sub-Zero summons all of his powers and he unleashes a laser-like blast of ice that puts the opponent in a deep freeze. He walks over to the frozen opponent, messes with their head a little and rips it right off. Then he walks away, does an ice slice backward and he throws the head at the opponent's still frozen but now headless body, shattering it to pieces. Subby raises his arms and gives a fist up. B,D,F,D,1 : Fatality 2 (Sweep) Description: Sub-Zero freezes the opponent's legs all the way up to the hips. then he does a sweep that shatters the block of ice, costing the opponent their legs. the opponent desperately crawls away saying "No, no, no!!!" while Sub-Zero slowly walks toward them and he raises his left leg and stomps on his opponent's stomach so damn hard, their head pops right off their shoulders. The opponent dies instantly while Sub-Zero gives a fist up. D,U,D,U,2 : Hari Kiri (When you have lost, input to kill yourself) Description: Sub-Zero comes out of his dizziness and freezes himself from the legs to where he is spreading his arms. After he gets himself encased in his own ice, he falls over and he is shattered is pieces; blood, body matter and chunks of ice are all over. ============= =USER KOMBOS= ============= From: Chinz Fighting Stance: Kori Blade Combo: B+2,B+2,CS...1,2,4,CS,2,3 For: 8Hits - 41% damage From: Chinz Fighting Stance: Kori Blade B+2,B+2,CS...1,2,4,CS,2,CS 8Hits - 44% 7Hits - 38% From: Chinz Fighting Stance: Kori Blade B+2,B+2,CS*...1,2,4,CS,1,2 9Hits - 44% damage 8Hits - 40% damage From: Menji76 Fighting Stance: Shotokan 1,1,3,CS...1,1,2,CS...1 5-9Hits From: BigLoki Fighting Stance: Shotokan 1,2,b+2,...b+2,...1,2,cs,2,cs 10Hits - 37% From: Junno/G-Ninja Fighting Stance: Shotokan 1,2,4,CS,1,2,CS...CS...1,2,4,CS,2,CS 14 hits - 35% Damage From: Jon Lyons Fighting Stance: Shotokan 1,2,4,CS,1,2,CS,B+2,1,B+1 10 hits From: 045789 Fighting Stance: Shotokan 1,2,4,CS,1,2...1,2,CS 10 Hits - 33% Damage ========================== Frequently Asked Questions ========================== Q: What is up with Sub-Zero's new outfit?
