This whole dragon medallion making him age has just messed sub's character up. He doesn't even have pupils anymore. He is starting to look like scorpion. What happened to sub-zero being a human being? He looks old and sick now. I wish he looked the age he was supposed to be. Another thing, i don't remember sub-zero ever being a samurai?

The Dragon Medallion makes him younger, not older. Sub-Zero's like 40 something.

Hopefully the medallion issue will be resolved by the end of MK:D. I just don't see Subby surviving to another MK game if he continues aging like he is.

As for his outfits, its suppose to make him look more chinese not japanese (samurai are of japan, Raiden's alt. outfit in MK:DA is more samurai looking).

And I do agree they totally messed him up, unless there's a very good story twist coming up. *shrugs* No offence but Subby could use one as well as some of the other favs.

I agree as well. The new subzero looks like he just hopped off of a space ship. I say bring back the classic look.
the new look makes him look like a shogun which is japanese, not chinese, i would have liked to see a cool new version of a ninja outfit but theres only so much u can do

I actually like Sub's new look: "Shred-Zero". Anyway, the aging thing dosen't matter, He can freeze himself for years at a time so when he emerges he dosen't look any older. Like Dick Clark.

Subzero looks awesome. I love both costumes. I think the alternate looks better than the other IMO.

Hehe, I love posters like this who come in and try to chastise a thread.

"OMFG COWBOY THE F*CK UP LADIES!!!"

***yawns*** But anyhoo, In my opinion Sub looks great and he is not old. Those are just side effects from the DM. Until I see it officially in print, then the whole "he's old now" thing is just an ongoing rumor.

If it's eventually announced that he is old, then it will be really funny...

and not haha funny, but like funny queer. tongue

Ok...wow...I think I REALLY need to clear a lot of things up here. First of all, the Dragon Medallion IS what is made him older. In order to wield the power of the Dragon Medallion, Sub-Zero had to sacrifice his youth. In return, his physical strength and freezing powers were enhanced. Sub-Zero was already a superhuman being before obtaining the Dragon Medallion and I don't just mean the freezing powers. If you don't believe me, ask rayrokka. Being a Lin Kuei warrior, Sub-Zero was endowed with superhuman strength. Boon didn't screw Sub-Zero up at all. In fact, Sub-Zero is getting better and better with each Mortal Kombat game.

His Shredder type look is pretty cool to me even though it is kind of odd. Then again, his weapon style, the Kori Blade also has a weird name since Kori is Japanese for ice. His helmet is not that of a Samurai. It's not that of a Shogun. It's similar to that of a Shogun Ninja. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are going for the Shogun Ninja look though I could be wrong about that.

His alternate costume is ok in my opinion. It looks pretty cool for the most part but I'm not really fond of the ponytail. I think it could've been done a bit better.

One more thing....Sub-Zero may be older, but he doesn't look sick and weak. In fact, he's still kicking ass and as long as Boon is around, Sub-Zero will continue to kick ass in every Mortal Kombat game.

ahem

My opinion, as irrelevant as it is, is that both Sub-Zero MKD costumes are by far, and I mean a freaking galaxy, the best Mortal Kombat designs ever made.

Not that it matters.

Where was this officially stated? Also, where was it officially stated that Sub is now older? Can you provide a link to these quotes? I'm not being a wise @ss either. I really would like to read up on it.

I completely agree. They look freaking awesome. of course that wont stop ppl from complaining.

That's what makes this country great my friend.

Made Sub "look" older, or made him physically older?

Of course he "looks" older. No one's disputing that. The question is if the DM has made him physically older.

Those specific's can be very important.
