    Scorpion General Discussion

    Still think scorpion sucks, honestly. Yeah, cyrax assist gives him the chip nonsense. It's boring to play imo. I know it's decent but its literally all he has. Tele cancel throw Tele cancel f3 spin Build meter D3 spin Land a bnb and restabd into spin Etc. Wait till people start to exploit the...

    Scorpion General Discussion

    I don't think scorpion is very good in mk1. Mainly his lack of mids and d3 doesn't jail to 21. I use him with some success but this character cannot whiff punish low buttons. I've been through a bunch of kameos but I think I'm sticking with Kung Lao fir now. F3 low hat is solid, makes it plus...

    Why does Death Spear Combo ability need Death Spin?

    They probably dont want you to be able to hit confirm f32 and be able to make it safe with teleport cancel. Not to mention f32 would be his longest range option which would give him a safe, hitconfirm/os overhead from halfway across the screen. You'll see scorpion players throwing out f3 all...

    Custom Variation Moves Discussion (Scorpion)

    Fireball is the best to pair with tele cancel imo. You cant just crouch from afar when scorpion has this option. Just being able to provoke movement in neutral is a big deal imo. After fireball I'd say njp.

    Custom Variation Moves Discussion (Scorpion)

    I've been using the fireball combined with tele cancel. It at least gives scorpion a way to provoke movement when people try to crouch at the other end of the screen. Its better than having the air grab I guess.

    This community is hypocritical.

    In my experience the opinions of those considered to be unknown are mostly ignored. It's funny to bring up issues early in the games life only to be ignored but then a year later it's the popular opinion because a top player says it.

    This community is hypocritical.

    Is this a broad generalization of the NRS community or are there specific examples of people going back on what they said? There's always been disagreements on how nrs design choices and patching methods. Hearing of complaints after changes does not necessarily equal hypocrisy. Also we have to...

    Injustice 1 Tier List: Endgame

    I remember being really upset at the addition of mmh and batgirl because they were broken as fuck from the start. Then the buffed mmh's teleport lol. What the fuck were they thinking? The outcry was over scorpion though. That back to block tele mix lol. Green arrow for life. He was the absolute...

    F Champ Receives Lifetime Ban, Racism in the FGC/USA, and Other Prevalent Social Discussions

    I see people talking about mentioning solutions. Here are some things I think would be beneficial to society as a whole. Don't count on me being very articulate. Ending or at least dramatically relaxing the war on drugs. The welfare system needs to be replaced or reformed. Too many people are...

    NRS's Misunderstanding Of Balance

    Not liking krushing and fatal blows is a valid criticism imo. Party game? No but those mechanics do add sort of a wild card comeback factor to the game. This can be less appealing to some players. This has been debated way back to even Super Turbo. I dont think it's too unreasonable to not be a...

    We shouldn't be happy with the netplay in MK11

    My apologies for reviving an old thread but mk11 netplay can be a better experience. Especially now considering theres no office events. Top players arent happy either. Online will never be perfect but it could be better.

    Five Ways MK11 Diminishes Defense

    All I said was its harder to react online due to the added frame lag. I didnt know you two had a history but a fact is a fact lol. I didnt bash anyone.

    Five Ways MK11 Diminishes Defense

    Online does add a few frames of input lag so it does make things a bit harder to react to.

    Five Ways MK11 Diminishes Defense

    Mk11 and sfv really went hard with this. Gotta reduce that skill gap.

    Five Ways MK11 Diminishes Defense

    To be fair, this has been a thing in fighters forever. Invincible dp's work the same way but at least in that situation theres more of a cut and dry risk reward involved.

    The Flawless Block Jump In Change Made The Game Worse

    It's not as hard to flawless block as some of you guys are making it out to be. Failed flawless blocks dont necessarily lead to getting hit. You can literally just fish for flawless blocks constantly. Obviously it can be used against you but that's fighting games.

    The Flawless Block Jump In Change Made The Game Worse

    If you know when they'll press then sure, it's not really hard at all. What I mean by fishing is that I just press block at specific times, not even necessarily knowing if it will work or not. As far as jumps are concerned, I'd rather go for an anti air when I can. I dont even think it's...

    The Flawless Block Jump In Change Made The Game Worse

    In a wakeup situation where a jump in is meaty it is a lot more likely to successfully flawless block. I think it's silly to try to flawless block all jump ins. I have specific times where I'll attempt a fb when being jumped on. Success rate in this situation gas nothing to do with easy or hard...

    The Flawless Block Jump In Change Made The Game Worse

    I dont think flawless blocking is very difficult. I dont really play that much anymore but you can literally just fish for them at times.
