Fun fact: Sub Zero's spine rip fatality was the example used in Congress for the meetings that eventually led to the creation of the ESRB (the video game age ratings used in the US)
The US Congress in 1993 would have outright banned Mortal Kombat if they saw today's Fatalities and probably would have put a prohibition on including blood and extreme violence in future video games. Say goodbye to the fighting games and shooters of the 1990s that led to a lot of today's game franchises and e-sports.
I mean these are the same people that saw night trap and threw a shitfit saying it was a game promoting sexual assault. In reality it was a very cheesy and bad interactive game using real life footage to stop "vampires" from kidnapping teen girls to take their blood via going through camera footage and activating traps. ESRB came around in part due to something seen as laughably stupid by today's standards rather than sexually graphic or violent. Though MK and its fatalities were the exhibit A that really made a much more understandable push and for good reason.
Yes there are two Sub-Zero's. The first Sub-Zero was named Bi-Han and he was killed in the first Mortal Kombat game by Scorpion. The second Sub-Zero was Bi-Han's younger brother, Kuai Liang.
I know it has been 2 weeks since this comment and also the video, in the new MK timeline since MK 9 or 2011 Bi Han (the oldest bro) became Sub Zero and Kuai Liang (youngest) became Tundra, after the events from the first 5 chapters of story mode in the first MK tournament Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpion) tooks Sub Zero life and then he became a revenant better known as Noob Saibot by the dark magic of Quan Chi, then Tundra became Sub Zero (in the chapter 7 of Smoke we know that) and then in the second MK tournament the new Sub Zero gets revenge on Scorpion then Sektor and Cyrax as cyborgs took him, before this tooks Scorpion life. And he became a cyber Lin Kuei, then he and other combatants were killed and became revenant and he was once more Sub Zero, in MK X comics and the videogame, it was until MK 11 that they faced again one as Noob Saibot and the other as Sub Zero.
Heads up! Natsu vs Ace was an episode before this, and given you watched Zoro vs Ezra I don’t think you’re avoiding it for spoilers? It’s a really great episode with one of the best kills in the franchise! I highly recommend watching it!
A little science for you: the absolute zero is the lowest a temperature can get. And that's because "heat" is molecule in motio (really basicaly). The faster it gets, the hotter it got. So what is absolute zero? Well... no movement at all. And it's impossible to go below "not moving at all".
Fun fact Death battle also straight up lied about how cold is sub zero ice He cannot completlly freeze people its littrly shown in the games Also death battle littrly said the 0 calvin is absolute zero😂
@@adam-dn3hi A) You literally saw him completely freezing people to the point they shattered like glass, those are in game cutscenes and moves B) 0°Kelvin is absolute zero. Literally 2 seconds of Googling will show you So here's a fun fact for you You're an idiot Maybe next time actually use your brain before you make a fool of yourself
@@mrroboshadow no its not The closest thing ive seen is him shattering 2 people skull but we see the blood is still a liquid and not frozen Thers not 1 scene in story he does thet Wich i could find
Just so you know about Subzero fighting Batman comes from the game Mortal Kombat Vs DC. You see Warner Bros used to own DC and Netherrealms studio, so the guys at Nether asked if they could do a collab, which was awesome. So awesome that a few years later DC asked Netherrealms to make a Mortal Kombat game for DC characters, giving us Injustice then Injustice 2, and yes Scorpion was a dlc fighter in the first game.
Agree with the win. Sub-Zero is one of the most powerful mortal human characters in mortal kombat, and has really cool (pun intended) fighting styles and backstory (for both Bi-Han and Kuai Liang)
Not to mention that while Glacius' fighting style is centered on range, Sub Zero has multiple options to get in close, and the teleportation even gives him the element of surprise.
Fun fact they actually got some things wrong about the fight. Sub-zeros form of teleportation isn't like Scorpions where he can teleport midair. In each game he has to be connected to something and falls through it, such as the ground. The minute Glacius was under him he lost that connection. Another thing that would have happened is sub zero's ice attacks wouldn't work against Glacius. There would be no freezing as each ice like projectile would only add to Glacius's armor. They didn't do a lot of research for the fight as this was one of their earlier videos and things are thrown together. Wait till season 6 and that's when they started analyzing things better as well as having improved fights that are more accurate.
@@jefferyoneill1 no, they did the research and got it right. they just explained it TERRIBLY and the ben 10 fandom has a LOT of very persistent headcanons.
I agree with this outcome. Glacius can be pretty fragile all things considered and both Sub and Glacius being ice masters it really came down to CQC Kombat
While most people would agree with the win, I'd heavily disagree with it. Sub-Zero is only small-large building level, max, which ranges to 2 Tons to 11 Tons. Glacius however is at bare minimum island level, which is 4.3 Gigatons to 100 Gigatons, which is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy higher in strength and durability. Glacius is only slightly faster at max, but this giant gap, along with regeneration makes it so he can't possibly be hurt or killed.
he can definitely be hurt. between sub-zero's experience and the fact that Glacius needs the ice armor for protection, which sub can break with his bear hands, and sub zero has fought beings like Glacius before, where as Glacius hasn't really fought someone like sub zero before (to my knowledge). Add that sub zero is likely far more potent with his ice and more versatile, the power really wont make much difference
yeah there were 2 sub-zero. both brothers. the first was bi-han but he was later killed by scorpion and through quan-chi's magic he came back as noob saibot. kuai liang the younger brother took up the mantle of sub-zero in honor of bi-han and sought after scorpion for revenge.
The funny thing is that the first sub zero after his death was found by the sorcerer quan chi and he was turned into a completely darkened ninja that creates shadow clones and portals and he was now named noob saibot.
For that one part with Batman it's been established that MK and DC exist in parallel universes (Or something like that) ever since they had that one crossover game, since then in both the DC Injustice games a MK character has shown up, and in the MK games since they've mentioned DC character's in the pre fight dialogue and had the Joker show up
joker's always been sorta immune to continuity, which ties into the 'super sanity' theories about him. during marvel vs dc he was the only one who remembered the previous crossovers, for example.
For your 30k subscriber milestone you should do a Q/A where you reveal how you've remained oblivious to pop culture. I wish I had that talent for avoiding spoilers
If you’re still wondering why Sub-Zero was fighting Batman of all people. Mortal Kombat has been no stranger to guest fighters or full on crossovers. You know the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies? Yeah, one was playable in a Mortal Kombat game.
@@iceheart974 He skipped a few because he's planning to EVENTUALLY play those games and he doesn't want to be spoiled... even though, from what I know, those Death Battle episodes don't have many big spoilers AT ALL!
@@harleyronco6021 Did you see his reaction to "Zoro vs Erza"? He said himself he wasn't planning to do a reaction series to either due to the number of episodes they have.
"Right off the bat, alien." And with Sub-Zero winning here, this is where the human vs alien thing needs to die. Death Battle is a measure of one's combat ability, judging the outcome based on the individuals personal strength, durability, speed, experience, arsenal, abilities, and so forth, and NOT on solely their origins or physical attributes like size or species.
This is one I have some mixed feelings on. On the one hand, I really don’t know enough about Glaciusand Killer Instinct in general to contest it. On the other hand, this is back when they still used “ninja powers” as a major win excuse (such as when they concluded Scorpion should have no trouble avoiding Ryu’s Raging Demon because “ninja abilities” rather than measuring any kind of speed or reaction times). It feels very fan wanky to just say “ninja r k00l”. In fact in this battle ninjas are so cool… they Sub-Zero. 8-) I’ll see myself out.
No. They said he could dodge it because Ryu lacks a lot of experience using the Raging Demon, Scorpion can actually teleport, and that the Nether Realm infinitely boosts Scorpion's power as there's no cap to much stronger he can get.
@@yusifudo46 all of which was capped off with the generic excuse of “ninja abilities” and none of which had to do with reaction time or speed, such as “how quickly can Scorpion analyze an incoming threat and initiate his teleportation, versus how quickly Ryu can launch the attack?” They explicitly said teleportation *and* “ninja abilities,” (which aren’t exactly things Ryu hasn’t seen before, either, ninjutsu and teleportation). I’m not saying they didn’t provide supporting points, but they absolutely favored ninja cool factor over actual numbers and analysis, which happens a fair amount in the earlier seasons. Thankfully they have since grown and developed their process beyond that over time, but it’s absolutely a bias they ran on for a time.
I have absolutely no clue why Lucario vs Renamon is not in your playlist. It's pokemon and Digimon, two franchises you've already seen in Death Battle before. Just pointing this out to you.
that brought back memories at studying science... (einstein-bose-... oO) when your own country uses (mostly) the SI-system it is easy but thinking about it - learning science in school/university in the usa must have its own share of "fun" mfg Olli
I think i agree with the win on this one, but i can also see Glacius taking the win just as easily. That would mostly come down to the fact of if Sub-Zero's ice abilities would even affect Glacius. We know that Sub-Zero's body (although much stronger than human) has no resistance to being stabbed or slashed, but the ice armor of Glacius would probably be equally durable to the ice that Sub-Zero could hit him with, so while Sub-Zero himself is probably physically stronger than Glacius, their ice powers are about equal, so i do have my doubts wether or not Sub-Zero could actually break through the armor of Glacius in any meaningful way using his ice weaponry, as Glacius could probably just easily add the ice of these weapons to his armor instead. But it also stands to reason that their ice powers just cancel eachother out, in which case it would come down to the fact of wether or not Sub-Zero could get close enough to Glacius (as their speed is about the same and Glacius primarily fights at range), and then deal enough damage to actually break his ice armor with his bare hands (which i personally think is a bit of a coin toss from what i know ?).
you're forgetting that whatever ice weapon sub zero would use would have his physical strength behind it, and that he'd likely use his bare hands. they already discussed that he definitely could do that.
@@danielwilson8604 Of course, but if we were to assume the ice has about the same durability, then both the weapon and whatever part of the armor is hit would both break at roughly the same time. Even if Sub-Zero is stronger, as long as their Ice is roughly equal in durability, both would break, obviously there would still be the force behind the attack to consider, but what im more wondering is if the broken ice of the weapon could be manipulated by Glacius to function as new armor. Essentially, what im wondering is if it would even be effective to attack Glacius with an Ice Weapon, or if it would be more useful for Sub-Zero to just attack with his bare hands. Because if that is the case, then it would come down wether or not one could kill the other soley based on their experiences as well as their strenght, speed and reflexes, which is where i could easily see this being a bit of a coin toss. I would probably still give Sub-Zero the win more often than not, but i can see Glacius being the winner in a couple of variations of this fight as well, though a lot of this comes down to the fact of how their ice powers would actually interact, because although Sub-Zero is definetley a powerful cryomancer, Glacius own cryomancy does seem a lot more skillfull, precise and potent, while their strenght and speed seem to be roughly equal, with Glacius taking the edge in durability and more ranged combat options, while Sub-Zero takes the edge in experiences, reflexes and close quarters combat options. (PS: Sorry if i didnt make that clear.)
Yeah but sadly they did my man Thor dirty in that Death Battle do, they omited his use of mágic, did no show some of his feats agiants other gods or god destroyers and lets not talk about the other difrent power ups Thor has gain along the way (All cósmic,Necro,All father and Rune King Thor).
13000x colder than absolute zero and breaks titanium barehanded was plenty evidence for me. Also the ripping people in half... that's like getting hit with heavy machenery
@@theduckgoesmoo Yup, the Killing Instinct series likes to have important xbox characters as guests, you can also play as the Arbiter from Halo, for example
The live action Mortal Kombat movies are actually some of the better video game movies. They're not necessarily good per say but you can have a lot of fun watching them which is what really counts.
Where is Natsu vs Arc, the death battle with Natsu and Ace comes before Sub-Zero vs Glacius. Always watch the end of every death battle to know what the next fight will be!
@@jordandavilabrown294 my guess he's currently watching one of those series and does not want to be spoiled and he's not going to be reacting to them because of how lengthy they are
Additionally i disagree with calling them cryomancers. They would be more accurately described as thermomancers. Because: How do you turn ice into a liquid if you arn’t adding heat.
cryomancy is altering temperature though like cryogenics, its not about ice, its about the behavior of things at low temperatures if they really wanted to call them ice manipulators they could have use Glaciokinetics
@@mrroboshadow cryo - Ice Mancer - a subset of mages where the practicer has only one discipline they follow. A cryomancer specialize in the ability to control, shape, and manipulate specifically ice. If we extend that reach to water in its liquid form, he would be A hydromancer. Hydro = water. But in order to turn ice into water, or water into ice, One would need to manipulate thermal energy to add or remove heat. This being a thermomancer. Thermo = thermal energy
ya know that would mean something if it wasnt just pop culture and not actual terminology Cryo - from the Latin Kryos - meaning cold Glacies - Latin root word for Ice i dont care if tv shows and comics say "cryomancy" means ice manipulation because it sounds cooler its wrong
@@mrroboshadow how do you think you make something cold? We can argue semantics all day, but in order to turn water to ice, and ice to water, would be manipulating thermal energy. There is no other way. Water has a freezing point. You cannot turn ice below that point into water without pouring thermal Energy into it in order to melt it. The same goes for the inverse. Thermomancy is still The more accurate classification. Which is the art of manipulating thermal energy. This includes changing gas to liquid, liquid to solid, and vice versa.
If you wanna learn more about Mortal Kombat Lore _and_ wanna focus on the original Lore, watch TH-camr "The4thSnake", he has plenty of videos detailing characters, story from numerous games in the series and much more. Just be aware, while I personally love him for it, he bashes the current developers of Mortal Kombat for their part in changing the Lore of the series from the original games. But you still get a lot of info on who's what and why.
sub zero can reform himself using the ice he creates, so as long as some of his magic ice is blasted at Glacius when he turns to water, even if sub zero is eaten by the water, it is redused to this same magic ice that sub zero created & holds his power, & so he can reform himself from that ice. it is sort of hard to say who is stronger but both of them can become ice or water & reform from that. Yet sub zero dose that better. Well Glacius can turn into water, he can only do this for a limited time B4 he needs to refrom his body & his body is something sub zero can break. Yet sub zero's version of this is throwing ice & using that ice to then reform his body with the power & engy contained in the ice magic. it is more becoming a sheet of ice & not a putle of water. So it is about how much energy sub zero has left to use his ice magic & how much ice is around containing his energy did he put into the ice around him & his attacks.
So uh, you noticed that old Death Battle really liked using"Ninja Skills"as major win excuse. Anyway if there's one I'd use to describe this episode it's forgettable. In fact that's how I'd describe most of this season in general. Sure, there are some noteworthy exceptions, like Megazord vs Voltron,Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake (For all the wrong reasons), and one of my top 3 favorite episodes Balrog vs TJ Combo. But besides that I barely most of the season.
@@danielwilson8604 well, because of one simple reason. It's the single most boring piece of shit I have ever seen. And because it's the most disappointed I've ever been with an episode.
What is video and I'm glad you enjoyed that bell still and yes I agree it's a interesting death battle Android 18 vs captain marvel But trust me do not watch the movie It's a awful execution And you're the reason I like it cause Samuel Jackson is in it Oh yeah you're people don't like what I say about captain marvel in the movie fight me Because I don't care
You completely misunderstood how Sub-Zero got through to Glacuis's core. It wasn't his cold powers that affected his core and killed him. It was Sub-Zero's strength, since he could chop through titanium, like the statue or, more canonically, the shell of the heavily armored Cyber Lin Kui he normally chops through like butter. Suby could break him in half whenever he was able to get close. It had nothing to do with cold abilities or resistance. Even if Glacius's core could take Suby's cold powers, it couldn't stop metal-smashing strength. I'm sorry, man, but it's because you greatly talked over it. Like you have a tendency to do. Again, I get it. You're a reaction channel, but still.....you tend to miss a lot of important information..... I feel like when you get to Archie Sonic vs Wally West, which I know you're excited about, you're going to get confused because you missed so much.
3 things i agree with your argument yeah he should really pause when he wants to talk at length about something, it doesnt "ruin" the video for us cause 99 times out of 100 everyone already seen the original several times and lastly.....never call Sub-Zero "suby" again XD
@@mrroboshadow Oh, sure. I've seen every Death Battle almost a hundred times. It's just for his sake, really. He has questioned or got confused over things he clearly missed. He also skips out on cool stuff in the analysis by speaking over it. I really don't want him to miss things in Archie Sonic vs Wally West, because I know he's going to love that one, with his affection for fast characters. And hey, don't get mad at me! I'm just following Boomstick's lead! XD
This is honestly one of the most disappointing Death Battles in my opinion. The animation is lackluster, and they used 2D sprite animation, when both characters have 3D models that they could have used (which is an issue that I have with a LOT of Death Battles). Also, the playlist skipped over the Death Battle right after Power Rangers Vs. Voltron, Which is Natsu (from Fairy Tail) vs. Ace (from One Piece). Guess that one's just not available in the playlist creator's country or something?
They just straight up lied about sub zero ice tempeture 1 sub zero does not freeze his opponent completlly he only cases them in a layer of ice the only he time he did freeze someone was johnng cage wich as shown here did not completlly freeze johnny 2 even if sub zero could freeze a person completlly at the speed they said he would be close to absolute zero(-273 celius) or at absolute zero wich is the coldest tempeture possible They legit just lied about how cold sub zero is
no they didn't. if he only encased them in ice, then he wouldn't be capable of shattering their entire body, just the coating. And they already pointed out that his temperature is impossible, and WELL below absolute zero.
@@danielwilson8604 1 and when exactlly is sub zero ever shatter someone when ther ice in story? Never we littrly see people break out of his ice 2 and like i said even if sub zero could do it thet still would *not* be colder then absolute zero It would either be close to or equell to absolute zero
@@adam-dn3hi they do it all the time in their fatalities and show a cutscene of it happening in the rundown. he freezes them then shatters the results with a flip kick while other assasins look on in shock. Also, it's colder than absoulte zero because absolute zero is not cold enough to demonstrate the described effects. you're supposed to go by series logic not real world logic when the two clash.
@@danielwilson8604 1 fatalitys dont count And can i have a link to him doing it in story like a cutscene or something? 2 for the 3rd time no its not absolute 0 can produce this effect
@@adam-dn3hi yes they do, fatalities are canon powers, and it's IN the actual rundown. it's when they say even other assasins are shocked by his skill. they also show him freeze and shatter two guys heads in the rundown too..

On the other hand, this is back when they still used “ninja powers” as a major win excuse (such as when they concluded Scorpion should have no trouble avoiding Ryu’s Raging Demon because “ninja abilities” rather than measuring any kind of speed or reaction times). It feels very fan wanky to just say “ninja r k00l”. In fact in this battle ninjas are so cool… they Sub-Zero. 8-)
I’ll see myself out.
No. They said he could dodge it because Ryu lacks a lot of experience using the Raging Demon, Scorpion can actually teleport, and that the Nether Realm infinitely boosts Scorpion's power as there's no cap to much stronger he can get.
@@yusifudo46 all of which was capped off with the generic excuse of “ninja abilities” and none of which had to do with reaction time or speed, such as “how quickly can Scorpion analyze an incoming threat and initiate his teleportation, versus how quickly Ryu can launch the attack?” They explicitly said teleportation *and* “ninja abilities,” (which aren’t exactly things Ryu hasn’t seen before, either, ninjutsu and teleportation). I’m not saying they didn’t provide supporting points, but they absolutely favored ninja cool factor over actual numbers and analysis, which happens a fair amount in the earlier seasons. Thankfully they have since grown and developed their process beyond that over time, but it’s absolutely a bias they ran on for a time.
@@HellYeahGaming The Ninja abilities weren't the main deciding factor though. Remember in Kilgore vs Sektor, the ninja lost.
Sub-Zero: *Performs a Brutality* duck: *That’s a Fatality!*
Dude you need to react to Fatalities from each game.
I didnt know a brutality was a thing
@@theduckgoesmoo It was a thing since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Also Friendships, thank God they brought both of them back in MK11.
Should watch the Mortal Combat X Ray and Fatalities starting with 9 and onward.
I have absolutely no clue why Lucario vs Renamon is not in your playlist. It's pokemon and Digimon, two franchises you've already seen in Death Battle before. Just pointing this out to you.
An alien vs a ninja? Did someone say naruto
the way Sub Zero fought Batman you may ask? Simple it happened in the video Game "Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe" (on xbox 360 and PS3).
that brought back memories at studying science...

when your own country uses (mostly) the SI-system it is easy but thinking about it - learning science in school/university in the usa must have its own share of "fun"

I think i agree with the win on this one, but i can also see Glacius taking the win just as easily. That would mostly come down to the fact of if Sub-Zero's ice abilities would even affect Glacius. We know that Sub-Zero's body (although much stronger than human) has no resistance to being stabbed or slashed, but the ice armor of Glacius would probably be equally durable to the ice that Sub-Zero could hit him with, so while Sub-Zero himself is probably physically stronger than Glacius, their ice powers are about equal, so i do have my doubts wether or not Sub-Zero could actually break through the armor of Glacius in any meaningful way using his ice weaponry, as Glacius could probably just easily add the ice of these weapons to his armor instead. But it also stands to reason that their ice powers just cancel eachother out, in which case it would come down to the fact of wether or not Sub-Zero could get close enough to Glacius (as their speed is about the same and Glacius primarily fights at range), and then deal enough damage to actually break his ice armor with his bare hands (which i personally think is a bit of a coin toss from what i know ?).
you're forgetting that whatever ice weapon sub zero would use would have his physical strength behind it, and that he'd likely use his bare hands. they already discussed that he definitely could do that.
@@danielwilson8604 Of course, but if we were to assume the ice has about the same durability, then both the weapon and whatever part of the armor is hit would both break at roughly the same time. Even if Sub-Zero is stronger, as long as their Ice is roughly equal in durability, both would break, obviously there would still be the force behind the attack to consider, but what im more wondering is if the broken ice of the weapon could be manipulated by Glacius to function as new armor. Essentially, what im wondering is if it would even be effective to attack Glacius with an Ice Weapon, or if it would be more useful for Sub-Zero to just attack with his bare hands. Because if that is the case, then it would come down wether or not one could kill the other soley based on their experiences as well as their strenght, speed and reflexes, which is where i could easily see this being a bit of a coin toss. I would probably still give Sub-Zero the win more often than not, but i can see Glacius being the winner in a couple of variations of this fight as well, though a lot of this comes down to the fact of how their ice powers would actually interact, because although Sub-Zero is definetley a powerful cryomancer, Glacius own cryomancy does seem a lot more skillfull, precise and potent, while their strenght and speed seem to be roughly equal, with Glacius taking the edge in durability and more ranged combat options, while Sub-Zero takes the edge in experiences, reflexes and close quarters combat options.
(PS: Sorry if i didnt make that clear.)
I've seen that Death Battle so many times that I didn't notice, until now, that Pyro makes a cameo, lol. Aquí 7:55
I'm also seeing Thor vs Wonder Woman is coming up. personally think Her vs She-ra is better.
Yeah but sadly they did my man Thor dirty in that Death Battle do, they omited his use of mágic, did no show some of his feats agiants other gods or god destroyers and lets not talk about the other difrent power ups Thor has gain along the way (All cósmic,Necro,All father and Rune King Thor).
Yeah but the death in that first one was way better.
@@BJGvideos no way: the final shot in the vs She-ra is way better.
He fought batman in the mortal kombat vs dc game
I'm pretty sure the reason there are 2 sub Zeros is player 2 and the rest is made up around that.
They didn't mention it, but Sub-Zero can make his own Ice Armor as well.
Oh I bet that looked wicked
If freeze the empty micro space around an object it would shorten the amount energy to freeze
Did you watch Natsu Vs. Ace?
I did not! I skipped it due to spoilers
The guys who make Mortal Kombat also made Injustice as well as Mortal Kombat vs DC. Sub Zero has been in two different games with Batman.
Duck you really need to expand the amount of games to play
You'll never convince me that any Mortal Kombat character will lose to their equivalent from another fighting game.
12:46 My new favorite line "How were you going to know that puddle was going to kick you??"
cuz sub did fight many different creatures and opponents. it was kinda obvious to him.
Imagine you're walking outside after it rains and then BOOM
@@theduckgoesmoo every storm is deadly at that point....
"Evil Walmart."
Tautology!
StblackST uploaded a video named "Soldiers day off" !
I've already made a video on it
@@theduckgoesmoo oh really? I didnt notice
Sub Zero fought Batman in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. You can play it for the xbox 360
What twist of fate makes someone klueless about Mortal Kombat, yet knowledgeable of Killer Instinct
13000x colder than absolute zero and breaks titanium barehanded was plenty evidence for me.
Also the ripping people in half... that's like getting hit with heavy machenery
I mean the tempeture was highlly inaccurate(completlly inaccurate)
But sub zero should still take the win
You skipped Natsu vs Ace. Not your fault cause the playlist left it out for some reason.
He was told and he said he was going to skip that one.
@@sethgibson5148 Damn, okay.
Take a look at who Glacius is fighting at 11:15
WAIT WHAT??? JESUS GO AWAY!
@@theduckgoesmoo Yup, the Killing Instinct series likes to have important xbox characters as guests, you can also play as the Arbiter from Halo, for example
Close, yes, but most agree this is pretty well settled on Sub-Zero's side.
The live action Mortal Kombat movies are actually some of the better video game movies. They're not necessarily good per say but you can have a lot of fun watching them which is what really counts.
So Glaccius depends on keeping people at a distance with Sub zero having the speed and strength advantage he didn't have a chance
Where is Natsu vs Arc, the death battle with Natsu and Ace comes before Sub-Zero vs Glacius. Always watch the end of every death battle to know what the next fight will be!
He skipped it because of spoilers
@@cruz5531 what spoilers?
@@jordandavilabrown294 don't know from what show, but that episode does have heavy spoilers for both shows
@@cruz5531 so let me get this straight, he isn't watching "Natsu vs Arc" cause he has yet to watch both Fairy tail and One piece?
@@jordandavilabrown294 my guess he's currently watching one of those series and does not want to be spoiled and he's not going to be reacting to them because of how lengthy they are
The games are better than the movies. Especially since the games came first. Movies made after video games rarely do well.
OH YES IT CAN!
man
not every alien is immediately stronger than humans
sometimes aliens have downsides.
sometimes.
Additionally i disagree with calling them cryomancers. They would be more accurately described as thermomancers.
Because: How do you turn ice into a liquid if you arn’t adding heat.
Ooooooh good point
cryomancy is altering temperature though
like cryogenics, its not about ice, its about the behavior of things at low temperatures
if they really wanted to call them ice manipulators they could have use Glaciokinetics
@@mrroboshadow cryo - Ice
Mancer - a subset of mages where the practicer has only one discipline they follow.
A cryomancer specialize in the ability to control, shape, and manipulate specifically ice.
If we extend that reach to water in its liquid form, he would be A hydromancer. Hydro = water.
But in order to turn ice into water, or water into ice, One would need to manipulate thermal energy to add or remove heat. This being a thermomancer. Thermo = thermal energy
ya know that would mean something if it wasnt just pop culture and not actual terminology
Cryo - from the Latin Kryos - meaning cold
Glacies - Latin root word for Ice
i dont care if tv shows and comics say "cryomancy" means ice manipulation because it sounds cooler
its wrong
@@mrroboshadow how do you think you make something cold? We can argue semantics all day, but in order to turn water to ice, and ice to water, would be manipulating thermal energy. There is no other way. Water has a freezing point. You cannot turn ice below that point into water without pouring thermal
Energy into it in order to melt it. The same goes for the inverse.
Thermomancy is still The more accurate classification. Which is the art of manipulating thermal energy. This includes changing gas to liquid, liquid to solid, and vice versa.
If you wanna learn more about Mortal Kombat Lore _and_ wanna focus on the original Lore, watch TH-camr "The4thSnake", he has plenty of videos detailing characters, story from numerous games in the series and much more. Just be aware, while I personally love him for it, he bashes the current developers of Mortal Kombat for their part in changing the Lore of the series from the original games. But you still get a lot of info on who's what and why.
sub zero can reform himself using the ice he creates, so as long as some of his magic ice is blasted at Glacius when he turns to water, even if sub zero is eaten by the water, it is redused to this same magic ice that sub zero created & holds his power, & so he can reform himself from that ice. it is sort of hard to say who is stronger but both of them can become ice or water & reform from that. Yet sub zero dose that better. Well Glacius can turn into water, he can only do this for a limited time B4 he needs to refrom his body & his body is something sub zero can break. Yet sub zero's version of this is throwing ice & using that ice to then reform his body with the power & engy contained in the ice magic. it is more becoming a sheet of ice & not a putle of water. So it is about how much energy sub zero has left to use his ice magic & how much ice is around containing his energy did he put into the ice around him & his attacks.
Wait where’s Lucario Vs Ranamon? Is he skipping that to
What is ranamon?
@@theduckgoesmoo It's a digimon

You need to watch the Fatalites
32 W 21 L (1 In A Roll) Highest: 5
That'd be "1 in a Row" - it's possible to be "on a roll", but there's no specific numbers that can be tied to that expression.
@@undeadMonk I start over when he bark it, But you're right
I still heavily disagree with this episode as a whole
Fun fact: DC and Mortal Kombat crossed over several times, just like how marvel crossed over DC several times.
React to Tiny Desk Corperation.
The first sub zero ended up becoming Noob saibot 😂(after his death)
Duck, react to Blockbuster Buster's review of Twilight.
So uh, you noticed that old Death Battle really liked using"Ninja Skills"as major win excuse. Anyway if there's one I'd use to describe this episode it's forgettable. In fact that's how I'd describe most of this season in general. Sure, there are some noteworthy exceptions, like Megazord vs Voltron,Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake (For all the wrong reasons), and one of my top 3 favorite episodes Balrog vs TJ Combo. But besides that I barely most of the season.
...what do you mean wrong reasons?
@@danielwilson8604 oh,I hate Lara vs Nathan. And I mean HATE it.
@@kadenmacdonald8794 may i ask why?
@@danielwilson8604 well, because of one simple reason. It's the single most boring piece of shit I have ever seen. And because it's the most disappointed I've ever been with an episode.
I’m was sad Glacius lost but I get it. I think you’ve skipped two fights now.
Ive skipped like 4 i believe
@@theduckgoesmoo Definitely skipped more than 4 lmao
What is video and I'm glad you enjoyed that bell still and yes I agree it's a interesting death battle Android 18 vs captain marvel But trust me do not watch the movie It's a awful execution And you're the reason I like it cause Samuel Jackson is in it Oh yeah you're people don't like what I say about captain marvel in the movie fight me Because I don't care
6:02 jinx
Hey! Can you react to this anime called assassination classroom? It has 2 season.
Could you react to If Undertale Was Realistic by SmashBits?
ah shit im so late :(
was to busy playing forza4 and lost track of time.
Is that a pun??
You completely misunderstood how Sub-Zero got through to Glacuis's core.
It wasn't his cold powers that affected his core and killed him. It was Sub-Zero's strength, since he could chop through titanium, like the statue or, more canonically, the shell of the heavily armored Cyber Lin Kui he normally chops through like butter.
Suby could break him in half whenever he was able to get close. It had nothing to do with cold abilities or resistance. Even if Glacius's core could take Suby's cold powers, it couldn't stop metal-smashing strength.
I'm sorry, man, but it's because you greatly talked over it. Like you have a tendency to do. Again, I get it. You're a reaction channel, but still.....you tend to miss a lot of important information.....
I feel like when you get to Archie Sonic vs Wally West, which I know you're excited about, you're going to get confused because you missed so much.
3 things i agree with your argument
yeah he should really pause when he wants to talk at length about something, it doesnt "ruin" the video for us cause 99 times out of 100 everyone already seen the original several times
and lastly.....never call Sub-Zero "suby" again XD
@@mrroboshadow Oh, sure. I've seen every Death Battle almost a hundred times. It's just for his sake, really. He has questioned or got confused over things he clearly missed.
He also skips out on cool stuff in the analysis by speaking over it. I really don't want him to miss things in Archie Sonic vs Wally West, because I know he's going to love that one, with his affection for fast characters.
And hey, don't get mad at me! I'm just following Boomstick's lead! XD
4:09 Uh, no, that's a brutality. That was even written on a screen.
🧊 🥶 Video Bro!
Do more tf2
I feel like this fight should be on the list of death battle stomps? Not really sure to be honest. At the very least it doesn't feel close at all.
eh, Glacius had the better range game
This is honestly one of the most disappointing Death Battles in my opinion. The animation is lackluster, and they used 2D sprite animation, when both characters have 3D models that they could have used (which is an issue that I have with a LOT of Death Battles).
Also, the playlist skipped over the Death Battle right after Power Rangers Vs. Voltron, Which is Natsu (from Fairy Tail) vs. Ace (from One Piece). Guess that one's just not available in the playlist creator's country or something?
Ok can i ask were do you guys get this playlist from, i just want to ser what DeathBattles he is gone skip.
Why did you skip natsu vs ace?
They just straight up lied about sub zero ice tempeture
1 sub zero does not freeze his opponent completlly he only cases them in a layer of ice the only he time he did freeze someone was johnng cage wich as shown here did not completlly freeze johnny
2 even if sub zero could freeze a person completlly at the speed they said he would be close to absolute zero(-273 celius) or at absolute zero wich is the coldest tempeture possible
They legit just lied about how cold sub zero is
no they didn't. if he only encased them in ice, then he wouldn't be capable of shattering their entire body, just the coating. And they already pointed out that his temperature is impossible, and WELL below absolute zero.
@@danielwilson8604 1 and when exactlly is sub zero ever shatter someone when ther ice in story? Never we littrly see people break out of his ice
2 and like i said even if sub zero could do it thet still would *not* be colder then absolute zero
It would either be close to or equell to absolute zero
@@adam-dn3hi they do it all the time in their fatalities and show a cutscene of it happening in the rundown. he freezes them then shatters the results with a flip kick while other assasins look on in shock.
Also, it's colder than absoulte zero because absolute zero is not cold enough to demonstrate the described effects. you're supposed to go by series logic not real world logic when the two clash.
@@danielwilson8604 1 fatalitys dont count
And can i have a link to him doing it in story like a cutscene or something?
2 for the 3rd time no its not absolute 0 can produce this effect
@@adam-dn3hi yes they do, fatalities are canon powers, and it's IN the actual rundown. it's when they say even other assasins are shocked by his skill. they also show him freeze and shatter two guys heads in the rundown too..
And yes it can, but not that quickly or completely. it would take much longer.
