I thought Scorpion in this game could do at least 30% with 1 bar?
Well honestly he don't really need to be top 10. As long as he mid tier all is good. Just hopefully not low tier. There not much low tiers so don't have to worry about that.
I believe he can, but as I recall almost all of those combos start with either j3 which got nerfed to all everliving hell while there was an incoming d2 buff anyway, or start with unreasonable combo starters. He gets so far outdamaged by most of the cast from their safe options, he becomes pretty much useless to try to use in a risky way. Which forced you to play him defensively. So you're getting 20% max damage off a MB teleport, which if you timed wrong, can get you punished on block, and in some situations because of how the hit-stun works, if they are in the air, you can even be punished on hit. So you can now burn a bar to get punished for something you were only getting 20% from anyway.
But, this isn't the time or place for me to be mad about what they did to Scorpion.
I legit feel that he should be in the Top 10 though (or at least just outside of it), but I feel that way about DLC characters in fighting games in general. You're dropping $5 to add another character in the game, they had better be damn good.
Roster of 24 at $60 means if you ingore everything else in the game, it's about $2.50 per a character. If you're paying 2x as much for each additional character, they had better be damn good and worth playing since you just payed 1/12 the cost of the entire game for a single character. if you bought the Season Pass, sure, you technically got "One free", but that's just because they've already enough bank on you having already bought 3 of them, so they've made a reasonable profit already. I'm glad Batgirl and Zod are damn good despite me playing neither, and I think Lobo and Scorpion should have been too. Scorpion was, but now he's nowhere near what he was. MMH seems to have done a damn good job at meeting and exceeding my expectations (as I had minimal interest in him prior), and honestly, I feel as though Zatanna may have dropped the ball. Maybe I just need to put a LOT more time into her, but I feel like there are a lot of other characters who can do what she does well, better, and what she excels at, has enough holes and weaknesses in it that it can get shut down by most of, if not all of the cast (her zoning is her major issue and Lobo players, who have the hardest time against zoning of any character in the cast, seem to be able to handle her with little issue).
So yes, as I will restate, now that the game will have hopped to a $90+ game if they add at least one more DLC, I think he should be worth the extra cash to actually drop on him. ($90 is also if you didn't buy any alt skins, and if you use Deathstroke, how could you NOT buy Red Son #2? C'mon... You know you had to....).
. I'm sure they caught on the that "army" is basically the same few people being loud. LOL
