Talk:Sub-Zero VS Glacius/@comment-25620113-20170525081918

Well I guess I'll do my review on this episode. Its pretty meh if you ask me. Not good but not bad just meh. I think this is the case with the analysis using up most of its good jokes in the previews and while I don't like the animation, I can tell Kiid at the very least tried and has potential to do better. Hell, I hated Jetz's first animation in Cammy VS Sonia because it was too awkward and now Jetz is one of the most cinematic animators that DB has ever had. I think the main reason people think its worse than M2 VS Shadow is because people actually hyped for this fight as opposed to Mewtwo VS Shadow.

As for the results, I don't think its much of a big deal or at least not as much of a big deal as everyone is making it out to be. Firstly the "Glacius wasn't anything new to Sub-Zero" comment is not a contradiction. They never say Sub-Zero fought more powerful opponents than Glacius or that he had thought much more different opponents. Considering he's fought other cryokinetics, this statement is still true. At worst (or best?) its a pointless comment put in the episode to pad out the run time.

I will concede that Sub-Zero's reflexes would've allowed him to dodge Glacius' long range attacks and potentially keep up with Glacius. My main issue with this conclusion is that they used TYM feats which is entirely dependent on the player's own ability. Max did talk with me about how its easier for the viewer to understand that "Titanium > ice" but its still pretty lazy if you ask me.

As for counter-arguments, I don't believe the "surprising ARIA" feat is much of a speed feat. From what I can tell he merely snuck up on her and if we use the logic that this is speed, then Batman must be MFTL for being able to sneak up on Superman on multiple occasions. From what I can discern Glacius doesn't have much in the way of feats (other than scaling to Cinder) so I'm fine with Sub-Zero winning but think the reasoning behind it was crap. Overall a 5/10.
