A good friend of ours, NinjaGrinder from Colombia, South America has informed us of a few unique combo videos done by a respectable local player, (ICS) Ric0ter0. There are three videos that show Sub-Zero, Cyber Sub-Zero/Cyrax and one of Killer Instinct. While some of these are for the ‘flashiness’ of the combo, may you pick them apart and learn a thing or two? Regardless, these are very entertaining to watch and are not your average combo video anymore.

To quote NinjaGrinder:
A fellow mk player over here made a nice Subzero (MK9) combovideo and I want to share it with everybody so I was wondering if you could please post it on the front page for us. Thanks a lot.

Oh and he made another video for SNES Killer Instinct so If you want to throw it out like a bonus it would be cool. Another bonus video would a mini cyber subzero/cyrax combovid I made not so long ago. Maybe a video roundup for everyone to see?
