I'd say this is a pretty solid and well thought out assessment except for MK2 Scorp. Cage getting mauled by Kenshi doesn't mean Cage is bad in MK9. Maybe that's not an entirely relevant example but even with that, there's no way he's potentially as bad as IGAU Scorp lol.
Just keep signing strikers with no association with the #9 shirt and you're good. I hear Heskey is out of contract next year
While I'm 99% sure you're a troll account, the above is false. Scorpion's spear in MK9 did anti-air, and way better than Batman's straight grapple.
As far as MK2 im going off of what ive seen and read. I actually just started attempting to learn to play high level mk2 So I am interested to hear your thoughts on mk2 scorp if you want to share! ^_^
Yeah true plus if you are wanting a good anti air move at jump distance he already has d1 or standing 2 which lead to a combo into spear/vortex. A vertical dedicated AA spear move would have been dumb.
Nah I'd say your opinion of MK2 Scorp is pretty accurate. I just don't think you can compare 1 horrendous matchup to countless bad matchups, in IGAU's Scorp's case.
Now everyone knows how much of an ignoramous you are for even saying that. lol Btw, DIAGONAL means inclined either upward or downward not straight.
True... but there are so many less characters in mk2 I thought it almost evens out percentage wise lol
Yeah but how would a dedicated diagonal AA only spear have helped the character when he already had awesome anti airs that lead to full combo/vortex. Anti air options were the least of his problems in mk9.
Well i think it would have helped in the sense of giving him more options to use. Sindel would be a great example of the good an ex diagonal spear would have been when she is firing projectiles from the top corner screen. With Injustice, Batman has the diagonal air grapple gun, diagonal air batarangs, bats aside from the striaght grapple gun and batarangs, all of which allow him to counter many moves and air attacks. Scorpion in MK9 had none of that, just a straight spear that has long recover time. Batman also has complete 3 hit high-low mixup combos that either lead to a combo luanch or a hard knock down. In MK9 Scorpion had incomplete moves that where useless like his foward 4,3 and his foward 3, and hellfire that doesn't even allow to be used as a combo launcher.
Seems like NRS did give MKX Scorpion a diagonal spear attack, but at the wrong time! They gave it to him as part of his x-ray move and not as a regular special. Great going NRS!...not.
I do agree with you that (outside of Slips's void setups) f43 was useless. As was f3 for the most part. A safe downward diagonal airborne spear move could have had some potential use.
Well yes, but now your are talking about a properly made Scorpion that only exists in our dreams but NRS will never make.
Its true, well at least in the games that get played in tournaments. I hear he was top tier in the 3d games like deadly alliance and I think deception as well but no one played those games in any sort of tournament scene so it was basically worthless.
We'll have to just wait and see. It would be totally nice to have a female Shirai Ryu as a new character. But that's another dream lol.
LMAO is Heskey still alive?!I'd say this is a pretty solid and well thought out assessment except for MK2 Scorp. Cage getting mauled by Kenshi doesn't mean Cage is bad in MK9. Maybe that's not an entirely relevant example but even with that, there's no way he's potentially as bad as IGAU Scorp lol.

I agree with this. Outside of Liu Kang and Kung Lao, Scorp did fine in most matchups in MK2. He's one of the most annoying characters to fight cause his runaway is good. MK2 is a super turtle based game, and Scorpion is designed to be a huge turtle;
