  • In this video, I bring to you the evolution of Sub-Zero's most iconic move, the Ice Blast, also known as Ice Ball and Ice Freeze. This move appeared in Mortal Kombat's first iteration in 1992 and has appeared in every MK entry since, including Mortal Kombat 11.
    I look at the elements of gameplay and storyline to bring to you the development of this influential character in the last few years.

    Arguably the third most iconic special move in fighting games history after Ryu and Ken’s Hadouken and Scorpion’s Spear.

      Lost his brother Bi Han, the ideology of Cyber Lin Kue from Sektor approved by the Grand Master, Lin Kuei corrupted until Kuai decided to abandon his clan, knowing his late brother become the dark shadow ninja a.k.a Noob Saibot, his best friend Smoke got kidnapped and turned into cyber Lin Kuei by force, had to deal with his false accusations about killing Hanzo's (Scorpion) wife and child + Shirai Ryu clan like every day, etc.... Yep, he really is look like he went through hell and i gotta admit that Sub Zero's life story are far more depressing than Scorpion life story lol.

    To me, an one handed Ice Blast is not nearly impactful as a two handed one for some reason, looks like he throws a mere stone at you. Personally love MK4/Gold Ice Blast, his short cry makes it more epic, he puts some effort on it.

    in the first few games it looks like he puts a lot of effort into the move because he crouches which sells it more
    but then in the later versions he just sticks his arm out and it looks kinda stiff and lifeless
    its just not as dramatic or ninja like at all
    I hope MK12 focuses more on a believable martial arts look and feel with more attention to animation and the finer details of movements

Movement is extremely important in any fighting game. ;)
