  • 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.

    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

      @@nicolascarmona3081 yes. look at sindels cartwheel in MK11 compared to MK9. in the older version it was a graceful flexible movement and in the newer version it was very stiff and robotic. these details are very important as it not only effects the look of the game but the feel of the game too.if the graphics are improving with each version so should the animations so theres no excuse for the character movements to be worse 8 years later. Movement is extremely important in any fighting game. ;)
