The 2nd hit comes very fast.
My answer is yes. Only because 15f or so is a much faster OH than F4.

I've been using S3 ender as well. People aren't familiar with it and it's like +26. Every option Scorp has jails after S3.
I agree that this may be better than the teleport ender only for ninjutsu. With hellfire if you are looking to pressure after a combo you want the opponent closer since the normals you will be starting pressure with have shorter range. Obviously you could get in range with a mini run and still have frame advantage after a standing 3 ender with hellfire but that would take some of your valuable stamina (which hellfire definitely needs) before you even start your pressure.
I'm kinda exclusively using Ninjutsu so I can build a solid MU chart. Nonetheless, still very good points regarding stamina usage.
When are you going to release the MU chart for ninjutsu scorpion? I'm looking forward to see The MU's
Not just yet. Still a few MUs that I don't have anything solid on.
Which ones are they? I'm willing to help give u some input on it if u wouldn't mind?
I don't have anything solid on the DLC characters. I'll PM you a rough draft of my chart.
I'm sure this isn't max damage but I do......
@Red Raptor personally I use the same combos as above as my standard 214 bnb's but I end them in either s3~teleport or 21~teleport. If you do the fbrc as part of the bnb ender you have a little less stamina for the post-restand pressure which I don't think is worth it for only about 1% more damage.
HF focus on fbrc pressure as that is essential to HF's gameplan along with flame aura as it's one of the best AA's in the game and s3 is one of the best punish tools Scorpion has as well as it being a good AA and end combos into a restand as HF u need all the pressure u can get. Ninjutsu, ur playing footsies most of the time. B2 is a great whiff punish tool and has some of the best range in the game. F2 and B4 are good armor breaking tools and can break any armored move except for x-rays most of the time. When it comes to gameplan. Ninjutsu has an incredibly good oki game so u want to give ur opponent a hard knockdown as they will hesitate to armor against Ninjutsu. Also make use of the f2/f2~takedown mixup tho don't abuse too much as opponents could fuzzy it if u do it too often. Use 214,114 as ur main meter building tool and s3 is even more imporant for ninjutsu. That's all I got for ya
D2 is guaranteed and s3 works too
Inferno was dead since the GGPO netcode was implemented so all those inferno Scorpion's with taco bell wifi finally went away
The Scorpion loyalists are still using both Hellfire and Ninjutsu. Tier whores are going to jump on the latest top tier bandwagons (alien, takeda, etc) but the character specialists are going to keep on truckin with their main and Scorpion is no different. You got to see some solid Ninjutsu in ESL out of Blake. At this point Blake is the main face of Ninjutsu in the competitive world (at least for North America). You gotta remember this is a very honest variation based around neutral footsies and spacing in a (generally) very dishonest game when looking at the top 10 characters and their tools so people are going to tend to gravitate towards what they perceive as "their best chance to win" especially when competing for money and that is why you will see less of characters that require a lot of work at the highest level like Ninjutsu.
Well, Ninjutsu is still my most used variation so there's that.
