Before we get started, we aren't all playing on the same console. Here is the
conversion between the three systems the game is on. Once the Wii releases,
I'll get those controls up as well.

Playstation 2:    Xbox:    Wii:
Square            X

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mortal Kombat 1-3
Quan Chi used Sub-Zero as an investigator throughout the tournament and after
Sub-Zero had completed his task, Quan found no more use for him and sent
Scorpion to take out Sub-Zero and make it look like it was Scorpion who
destroyed his village when it was actually Quan. Sub-Zero killed the original
Scorpion in Mortal Kombat, although he has returnee with a vendetta.

During the period of MK1 to MK2, after Sub-Zero died, his brother took over the
role of Sub-Zero and the one who died has turned into a wraith in the
Netherrealm now known as Noob Saibot. They are brothers.

Mortal Kombat 4
When you beat the game with Sub-Zero, Scorpion will be on the floor and Quan
Chi comes in and looks to finish Sub-Zero off. He then explains that it was he
who destroyed Sub-Zero's village and that he is here to take Scorpion back.
Scorpion learning of this, used his blind rage and made a desperate attack that
sent him and Quan Chi to the Netherrealm.

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance:
The future of the Lin Kuei hung in the balance as Sub-Zero and the ninja cyborg
Sektor battled for control of the Dragon Medallion. Sub-Zero defeated Sektor
and then claimed the title of Grand Master. With his freezing powers enhanced
by the medallion, he vowed to reform the Lin Kuei as a force for good. Sub-Zero
relocated the clan to a remote location in the frozen Artic where he had
discovered an ancient temple frozen in the side of a glacier. There, the new
Lin Kuei could hone their skills without interruption.

Raiden appeared before Sub-Zero and asked for his aid in defeating the Deadly
Alliance in Outworld. Fighting alongside Raiden would prove to the world that
the Lin Kuei had changed for the better, Sub-Zero accepted the challenge and
brought with him one of his newest recruits. It was highly unusual for the
Grand Master to embark on such a dangerous mission, but Sub-Zero felt it was
necessary to earn the respect of his fellow Lin Kuei.

Mortal Kombat Deception
While still in Outworld, the Lin Keui Grand Master, Sub-Zero, discovers his
true heritage -- the source of his mastery over cold. This discovery will aid
him in the fight against the Dragon King's Tarkatan hordes.

I learned that the ruins were a holy structure belonging to a lost race of
people who had attained mastery over cold. After throrough study of this
culture,I now believe both Frost and myself to be their descendents. I laid
Frost's body in a sarcophagus and left the catacombs donning the armor of my
newly discovered heritage.

My fellow Lin Kuei Frost, had betrayed me and stolen my dragon
medallion. Unable to control the medallion's power, she was consumed
by her own freezing ability. I searched Outworld for a suitable place to bury
her remains when I happened upon ancient ruins, carved into a Mountain Side.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon Ending
Sub-Zero obtains the Dragon Medallion and becomes a god - but a false one. The
elder gods did not approve of this and thus he is no longer an ally.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sub's Deap Chop is pretty effective, you can work on freezing them or giving
them the Cold Shoulder and then coming over and dropping the Dead Chop on them.
Try to time it the best you can to freeze them or giving them another big move
right when they get up.

His Kori Blade is cheatingly strong, I recently fell the power it can cause
with it's quick hits. If you can time the hits perfectly it can knock your
opponent down and get a few more hits before they can discover something
worthwhile to do to stop this.

How to defeat Blaze
Straight up, don't use your specials. They really don't work and will easily
leave you open for a massive attack. Instead, work on attacking him with a
combo of Icy Pain and Deap Chop and then quickly block afterwards to stop his
attack. If he doesn't attack quickly, you need to quickly start the combo
again. You can try to switch in your Kori Blade which can do some heavy damage
if he doesn't block it. Keep at it and this should pull it off.

Moves will we listed with the combo needed to enter and then the name. Buttons
separated by commas are inserted after completing the first one and "+" mean
at the same time.

The Playstation 2 and the Xbox are the two systems that have this game so I
have to use a different key that encorporates both systems. There is a simple
key below, and you can expect Wii controls as it releases.

Yes, there are only two styles for Sub-Zero but the number of moves per set is
greatly increased.

Rib Breaker...........TH
 Sub's throw is pretty cool, he'll grab his opponent and then freeze them
 before he sends them packing. It'll be tough getting close to someone to use
 this but you should be able to sneak one in.

Ice Clone.............D,B+1
 Not one of my favorites but it can be particular useful in blocking a
 projectile or you can even trick the CPU to walking into it if they get too
 close and they'll automatically freeze up.

Freeze Ball...........D,F+3
 The classic move, and it still works wonders. You can stop your opponent and
 you'll get a nice free hit on them if you can connect this on them.

Cold Shoulder.........B,F+4
 A newer move and it's effective. It just doesn't seem as strong as it has
 been in the past games although you can really mix this move up during a
 match.

Icy Pillar............D,U+2
 Sub-Zero's new move is pretty cool. Using your ice powers, you can freeze
 your opponent by shooting into the air and he'll freeze up into a pillar.

Fatalities are different this TIME, you get to input your fatality. Here's what
you do! I haven't experienced with it much but I'm pretty sure when it's time
to FINISH HIM, you can chain things together with different moves. Experience
