Even after Shao Kahn annihilates the Clan, the cyborgs continue with their mission, undaunted. Strategy: Cyrax requires a bit more timing than the average fighter.

Subzero
A member of the Lin Kuei assassins. For a long time, Subzero fought for whoever paid him. However, by MK3, he has realized that the fate of his planet is hanging in the balance and leaves the assassin band to protect Earth from the Outworld. Strategy: Subzero is the master of stunning. Nearly all of his moves cause the enemy to become frozen, leaving the victim wide open to just about anything.

So if he misses with an Ice Puddle, Ice Rain, or Freezing Close, he cannot use any more ice specials until it dries up.
