You're going to love Tremor with him. Let me explain some crazy sceneries. You already know about the OTG sky drop. The extra health, yes The scaling on up punch is better than any launcher You can cancel all your strings to make them semi safe with f kameo, can be crouched but nobody is crouching your double overhead Krystal will give you an option against Johnny like pressure by exploiting gaps. Ketchup, you know I have that filth, you ready? Tremor can give everyone, EVERYONE, an UNTECHABLE throw combo in the corner, just call Tremor when you grab and make him do the 3 hitting low, it's that easy. You can also ambush that move during your double overhead string and now you have a l/o/l/o/l situation, you blocking that? Oh, it also goes into full combo.

I slightly disagree. I really like the decision. Since he is focused on long range, keep away, and zoning, he shouldn’t be able to do a lot of damage without spending large resources when he gets up close. I agree with the balance decision, and I hope this is how characters are created going forward - with more emphasis on archetypes.

Tip for the ground pound call in. Iwas practicing it for a while if youre like me and have a habbit of rushing out your inputs itll be really hard to figure out the time for the the proper combo setup for that. Once i slow it down o realized you have to think of the tremor ambush as 2 separate moves (i know they are two separate moves but i was trying to do it as fast as i could) When you do the neutral tremor call in your positioning him. You want to do the callin just before he stomps the head a second time. This puts tremor directly on top of the opponent. Then you have a little bit of leeway for the ground pound ambish (not a lot but enough for some wiggle room) i want to do it just as qua chi is stepping off the oppoent this will put tremor in front of ou ensuring you get knocked down in thr correct direction instead kf the wrong one. Hope that helps !

I think the best all around is sub zero, obviously the ice armor is really good for any zoning character but where sub zero really helps is the freeze. The freeze saves you from having to spend two bars on tentacle and instead gives you the ability to set up the portal and theres so many situations where you can get the freeze into the portal that basically you get at least 30 percent every touch and then if you really want or need to you can spend the extra two bars on tentacle
