Ya but a good player will see the self freeze coming and just wait for it. Sub leaves himself wide open when he uses it and will take a huge amount of damage.


self freeze is for noobs, I was referring to something like low attack linking into freezeball.

I just started playing this online (PSN), and it’s more entertaining than I thought it would be.

But I do run into the same lag problems as well. Most of it’s playable though, about 5/6ths. One annoying thing that keeps happening is I keep getting this error, something like 8002... and it signs me out sometimes in the middle of matches. I’m sure the other guy is thinking I’m ducking out on them, but I’m not.

I think you can just block the lows into ice ball. I know the mids you cant. But flash can still just out zone sub with ease.

That doesn't mean jack shit though. How good the characters are means very little. I can slaughter my brother when I'm playing with Sub and he's Kano, and I can slaughter him when I'm Kano and he's Sub. I can beat him with any character, when he's any character. Because I am better then him at the game.

In the same way someone who's better then someone else will be able to beat them if they're Sub and the other person's Flash. I've won twenty matches against Flash, some online, some offline with my sons and brother, and around eight of those were with Sub. How good a character actually is means very little because the skill between the players is always the deciding factor, so there's no point in arguing over what they would do, because players never get anything perfectly and most of them don't even know these tactics.

A tier list does not matter much in casual play but it does when players know what they are doing. Personal skill level means nothing when talking about how good a character is.

If you take two people that know what they are doing with one pick flash and the other picked sub the flash player would more then likely win the series.

even though i use Flash, i have to admit he has a HUGE advantage over the other characters, mainly because of his low pop-up move. I know Darkseid has one, but he has to relatively be close to you when he does it, instead of Flash who lunges at you with that punch AND recovers extremely quickly so you can do it again if they do manage to block it. And even if you start to spam it a lot, chances the other player, whos probably starting to get on to you, will duck block whenever you use the pop-up move. Thats when you can easily change your strategy and just use Flash's attack 3 move, which is a medium hit and chain it into his spinning move. I have beat so many people without the low pop-up move because they think they just can just duck block and they'll be safe. I dont see anyone else in the roster who has a low pop-up move, a move to set someone up for a combo, has an infinite online, can recover from his combos extremely quickly AND has some really good damage with the combos he has. This makes Flash easily likeable, easily playable, and enjoyable because you are likely to beat someone when you have Flash.

my brother is right. Fighting games arent really as loving as they seem. In other games there are lots of ways to approach others with different kinds of attacks. But with Mortal Kombat, Street fighter, and lots of other fighting games, it really just comes down to who knows the biggest combos and who can use them properly. A person who knows a 19% Sonya combo as her highest combo is HIGHLY LIKELY to fail once i execute her traditional 53% conbo. They basically lose half their health IN ONE COMBO! the only thing that can stop it is a combo breaker, but you dont always have one. In the end, it just comes down to who knows the biggest combos.

but of course, even though i admit this is true, i still love Mortal Kombat. POWER TO TANYA, MILEENA, SINDEL, CYRAX AND SONYA

Then, of course, Deathstroke's D,F,Square (where he stabs them with the knife then kicks) doesn't even f***ing work online, EVER!! What the heck is that about, seriously? Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a way to get around it?


Uhh, just press any button after he stabs? Circle always connects. The spin-flip kick he does by default never connects, D,F,Square*Circle works every time.

Flashes low pop up is only safe online. Offline you will be punished every time it is blocked or misses. And there is a lot more to this game or any fighter then the biggest combo. If that was true then Kano would be seen as the best in the game. Yet he is mid tier at best.

Biggest kombos, you are right.
I refuse to fight the flash because so many people abuse around the world. I don't care, I've had enough. I don't vs the flash. And i enjoy the gme so much more.

well thats mainly because Kanos combo is impossible to pull off online, but with someone like Sonya who has an easy 53% combo (well, easy in my opinion) vs a person with Kitana 38% (which i havent been able to do...stupid timing) the whole fighting game mechanic is reduced and it jsut comes down to blocking, retaliation, jumping, and in Kitanas case, teleporting. Oh, and staying REALLY far away

not impossible. Kano's and sonya's 50+ kombos are easy, what makes them hard it judging lag as they bounce during pro move.

The tier list is made for offline. Online the game changes to much from person to person for there to be any kind of reasonable one. The only thing that are set in it is kahn, flash, and raiden dominate the online when used right.

Katina is high tier easily. She has unbreakable combos, is a monster in rage, a great anti rage game, one of the best anti air and keep away characters in the game. Has a great 50/50s, and the roll punishes any projectile for unbreakable damage. Her teleport really is not that good because you can just up 2 it on reaction.

Sonya really has nothing other than her big combo and a simple presser game. she is seen as low on the tier list.

Online section of this game is weak,i mean nothing works like its suppose to.I use Sub-Zero,and offline i have all kinds of sick combos most of which begin with his back and b Double kick pop up,But online that moves work 60% of the time,which makes me look like a dumbass when it doesnt work.Also Sub has a standard combo which is y,back b,that doesnt even work at all online it act as two separate moves.
