God I was getting frustrated last night...must of played like 20 scorpions in a row.

I have such a problem with his speed and his long distance low grab and long distance overhead attack.

that just seems overpowered to me, one of the strongest zoners in the game surely? those 2 moves are so quick and it's hard to not get caught... unless I'm doing something wrong

what are your tips for scorpion and his variations...I'm just gonna accept I will be facing him a lot as boring as that is, might as well get good for him

so what are your counter picks and tips?

cheers

Play matches over and over against the CPU, go into training and set the Scorpion CPU to do the attacks you have trouble with -> then practice blocking and punishing them.

One of the strongest zoners? We don't know yet, this game hasn't been out even a week. But my gut instinct says no after seeing what some other characters have.

parry works well against him .

all his specials can be punished on block .

cant say for sure on if anyone beats him handily but i do fine against him with both liu kang and raiden .

i swear i play against 90% scorpions online. i know what you mean. the only trouble i'm having is against his Hellfire variation. need to understand how his self burn thing works. i main sub-zero and basically i put and ice clone behind me for teleports and the only thing i have to worry about in his other variations is his low grab. the problem with the low grab is that even if you block it when you attempt to punish it he is still "ducking" so your options are a bit limited.

his speed is only a problem if the match is laggy.

I've had success with shinnock

I was able to dethrone a 15 win streak king of the hill scorpion with shinnock...out zoned him pretty much

its just the super fast low and overhead attacks he has in one of his variations is so difficult to deal with....very hard to punish when he is on the other side of the screen...even if you do manage to traverse the screen to close the distance he will do his super fast teleport

maybe I'm blinded by rage but he feels super easy and cheap to play...

i dont think he is any easier or harder than anyone else to play or fight against . just have to learn the mu is all .
idont think his overhead is that fast really guessing your talking ninjitsu . as evil above said take it in lab practice countering his mixup game with your character . and if you block the low takedown full combo punish .

The basic counter for babies says that you should:

"Not just react to the attack, but to predict it!"

- Albert Enstein -


Also avoid playing Inferno Scorpion Fullscreen, that range is where these moves works better, most people that play scorpion are getting away with low grab a lot, and most of these players don''t even have a good defense up close.

Or you should probably upgrade your online connection if you're seen Minion drop and minion charge as fast as hell. Skarlet donwslash as 20 frames and was easely reactable, those minions are all 26
