if i'm correct, clones won't come out if you and the opponent are touching. I'm not talking, like, right on top of each other, but say his arm is touching you're arm or something, the clone won't come out

where the inconsistencies are coming in have to do with the online lag. say you are touching sub-zero, but he inputs a back dash then clone, but it doesn't appear that way on your screen, but the clone still comes out and you get caught in it.

you just have to be really cautious around sub-zero players.

don't be aggressive against them, zone them to death.

C'mon man, don't tell him that! Us Subby players have to work harder against zoners.
