User blog comment:Clockworx/Sub-Zero vs Glacius PREDICTION BLOG/@comment-24106025-20170518114539

This verdict is based on both my knowledge and research on these Death Battle combatants to determine who will ice who.

Right from the get-go, this is an even matchup. Sub-Zero, a preferable clost quarters fighter can slide or Tombstone Teleport to surprise and attack the tank-like Glacius, however the alien can fight also fight close, but is in his element at attacking from afar with extending limbs and icicles from the ground in the style of an Ultra Combo. Eventually both will get smart on these techniques and be  ready for more surprises.

Sub's freeze strategy is unlikely to work on a guy whose armor is ice and he himself is not unfreezable (proven against other cryomancers), due he has control over his own created ice which he can survive via controlling his own body temperature, but not against other cryo attacks. And his opponent has a freeze attack for a "No Mercy".

Things get even tougher when Glacius dissolves into living puddle, to avoid damage.

Though Sub-Zero still has a chance, through two scenarios and one factor:


 * Sub can either freeze Glacius in puddle form or when Glacius tries to swallow him as a puddle, Sub can touch puddle and freeze it.


 * Sub's ninja speed and strength allows him to get the drop on Glacius, and given that he has smashed harder substances then ice, can break through that armor to either rip out the vulnerable insides or crush'em. Since Glacius does not seem to have a spine or anything skeletal, I doubt there'll be spineless fatalities.

The Factor: Glacius genetic design allows him to be the ultimate extraterrestrial extremophile (Able to adapt in any environment)...BUT...This Darwinian ability takes some time and is not instantaneous.

An opening opportunity for Sub to snatch victory from the jaws of death.

Sub has the reputation of being like the Yamcha (DragonBall Z) of Mortal Kombat, a real underdog.

But just as every dog has his day, on the day of the official Death Battle episode, everyone's favorite cool blue ninja will be the dog.

Thaw-less Victory.
