So I planned on Sub-Zero being my main fighter but since I have been playing the demo I have noticed his X-ray move is far less effective than anyone elses (he gets about 28% by itself).  Johnny Cage gets around 40% by its self however it is a bit harder to pull off thats fine.  But Scorpion's is very easy to pull off and its more around 38 to 39% alone. Anyone have any guesses to why that is?  My only guess is maybe his 3 hit combos are more effective

Johnny Cage's is a counter, so that is understandable.  Maybe things will change in the full game.

I've heard that this build is from around E3 last year, so the damage stuff has been modified since then, not sure if it's correct though. "

But you freeze livers!   Even if you lose, you're opponent won't be able to drink beer anymore and hari kari themselves! 

Damage will still be tweaked; I think this build is supposed to be eight weeks old (?). However, Sub-Zero has about a million ways to freeze enemies completely in place, so there needs to balance somewhere.

 There arent that many ways to freeze people. If anything sub-zeros actions should be more snappy, he seems to be really slow with his movement 

From what I've seen so far, it's pretty easy to combo INTO his X-Ray move (which, above all else, guarantees it connects rather than just throwing it out there hoping your opponent isn't blocking). I'd much prefer that over the extra ~10% dmg output.

I think Sub-Zero, although slow, has a great list of moves mainly due to his freezing technique which can stop a person and win the match when it gets down to the last couple seconds. Personally though I don't like playing him because I'm more of a speed player, been playing with Scorpion and Johnny Cage in the demo and will most likely use them separately and as a tag team when the game comes out until I learn some other characters.

It might be less damage because it is possible to combo into his X-Ray move. Check this out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ95qI25tyY
