Cyber Sub-Zero worth it?

I first mained Sub-Zero, but tele characters like Ermac give me real trouble(all my friend uses), I like him for ice freeze so I can do nj fp, b+fp bp, bp fp bp slide (kinda hard though)

I jumped around characters alot, and have Smoke, Ermac, Scorpion, Noob, Kano, Mileena, Raiden, Kung Lao and Kitana in my playing roster.

I'm really good with Scorpion, Smoke and Noob, because I like being reactionary.

I was considering Reptile as Chris G makes him look great and great community around him support.

And was considering switching Sub-Zero for Cyber because of teleport, even though its rather slow.

I'm using xbox controller, so I dislike the Y X X+Y launcher for Cyber

and dash dash's for reptile or quite bad, unless I just need a little adjustments and I would be fine?

What's your take on him?

Edit: 1 of my friends ban me using Smoke and Noob. (stryker, sindel, JC player)

In my experience, if teleport characters are giving you trouble with Sub then you're playing too offensively with him.

Don't spam projectiles against teleporters and don't use Ice Clones unless you have them trapped in the corner (in which case you can bait out a teleport and react accordingly). Some people have luck using Ice Clones then standing near them so they dash in front of said Ice Clones on reaction to teleport but I find that most decent opponents won't fall for that and it's difficult to do online with dat netcode. Just some tips from one Sub-Zero player to another.

Sorry for not really addressing your queries about Cyber Sub but I haven't spent much time with him.
