Yeah I never really messed around with Inferno much. Just hell fire and ninjutsu. I'm hearing his F2 second hit is an overhead now. That sounds much bigger in my head than people make it out to be though. Sounds really good.
inferno seems trash because it is trash, its stupid easy to play and basically everyone knows how to avoid it
Yeeeessss the lack of armored attacks was his biggest problem. I always wanted his EX teleport to have armor beyond just from a wake up. Not sure if that would be broken though. It's still unsafe on block. Other alternative would have been to MAKE it safe on block without standing armor. To my recollection, it was safe in MK9.
No offense to that guy but someone who just throws out F2's all over the shop (even when negative) is not a good example to judge Scorpion by. A lot of what he did in that match could have been seriously blown up if you have the knowledge.
Ex teleport was safe on block in mk9 but it was not a full combo launcher like it is now. If scorp had better or specifically safer armor he would be pretty ridiculous given that is really the only thing he lacks IMO.
No I agree for sure, I'm happy he received what he did for KP2.
Yes, in ninjutsu his sweep (b4) is two hits and you can special cancel after the first hit. Also if you just let both hits of b4 go it is totally safe on block now and it breaks armor so he now has a 100% safe at any range armor breaking tool.
Damn didn't know that. That's pretty scary.
I forget how many frames the start up is but its pretty fast and will break armor on almost every armored wakeup attack. And I do know that it is now -4 on block so totally safe. It used to be full combo punishable on block making it useless (since he could already break armor with f2 which was more safe and launched) but now he has the low reward totally safe b4 and the (mostly safe except at close range or against specific characters) f2 with a higher reward
If he is top 10 after all of the beta changes he will probably be floating around the 9-10 spot, and that's IF he ends up top 10. He is better and I like the changes but I highly doubt you will see a scorpion player win a major after the final kp2 patching
Hellfire or Ninjutsu?
Yeah the only way he makes top 10 is if the current top-tiers are all nerfed out of it. Cassie, Lao, Tanya, Quan etc... If they leave then Scorpion could sneak in. If you were to put beta Scorpion in the current version of the game he wouldn't be top 10.
Hellfire with Ninj covering the rest of his MUs.
Let's not start that nonsense again.
