-=Section 1: Introduction=-
---------------------------
This FAQ is intended to be an informational guide for Sub-Zero, possibly
one of the most played Mortal Kombat characters in the series. This FAQ will
cover both the Masked and Un-Masked Sub-Zero's, covering their moves,
finishing moves, and endings.
Thought to have been vanquished in the Shaolin tournament, Sub-Zero
mysteriously returns. It's believed this secretive member of the Lin Kuei, a
legendary clan of Chinese "ninjas", has returned to again attempt an
assassination of Shang Tsung. To do so, he must fight his way through Shao
Kahn's tournament.
Finishing Move 1: (Close Range)Down + Down + Down + Forward + High Punch
*Sub-Zero reverts back to his classic finishing move, gripping the opponents
head, and tearing backward, although the screen fades before seperation ,you
still hear the scream and rip*

I've found that with Classic Sub-Zero, you can do major damage against just
about anyone, either on this game, or in the Arcade. If you range both your
Ice Ball and your Ice Puddle, no one can jump in, or jump out.
Playing against him at higher levels, will net you a headache. He is quick
to counter punch a jump kick, and even quicker to drop an Ice Puddle when you
land, and smash you with an uppercut.
-=Classic Sub-Zero's Ending Movie=-
-----------------------------------
Having been killed in the first tournament, Sub-Zero somehow seems to have
emerged to win the third tournament. However, upon removing his mask both
the Outworld and the Earth-born warriors are shocked to discover the true
identity of this warrior. A warrior who has long been missing from a
previous Mortal Kombat, and one who will return in the fourth tournament.
===================================
-=Section 3: Sub-Zero=-

The ninja returns unmasked. He was betrayed by his own clan, the Lin
Kuei. He broke sacred codes of honor by leaving his clan and is marked for
death. But, unlike the ninja, his persurors come as machines. He must not
only defend from the Outworld, but he must elude his souless assassins.

Sub-Zero in his unmasked form, is a powerhouse. If you can master the
timing of the Ice Showers, and the various combos that can be performed after
a freeze, you'll rule the PSX and an arcade machine.
Playing against him is a bit hard. He can counter anything that you have
with a well timed Ice Shower. Not to be underestimated, he can cost you a few
continues.
-=Sub-Zero's Ending Movie=-
In vicious battle, Sub-Zero faces Cyrax and Sektor: but not alone. He
finds his third Lin Kuei assassin - the elusive Smoke. Before automation,
Smoke and Sub-Zero were allies. Sub-Zero helps Smoke recall his past and
regains him as an ally once again. Sub-Zero defeats his cyborg assassins with
the help of Smoke and finds it takes all of his own inner strengths to defeat
Kahn and his Outworld minions. The former ninja once again disappears into
the shadows, his legacy known only by a select few.
