I do not play scorpion., he is an outstanding character, but to me he is so boring, same old same old, 114xxdb3+r2~d2, can anyone explain to me why top players would use him, other than the fact he is such a vortex

Well i really think this is totally ok. It is really good to know that there is a good move to punish brainless jumpers. I hope to see sonyas divekick being caught by that. :DOGE

Dude what???

If you are playing people that are using 114, ex teleport, uppercut you are playing the wrong people...

He also is not really a true vortex character because you can block his f4 on reaction.

The character shines with his punishment and post combo pressure (other than Ninjutsu who has strong range/footsies and armor breaking/oki).

Look at Blake's ESL matches or PL's matches from Combo Breaker and you will see why a top player would want to use him.

, I have spent many months learning my character and basic mechanics, I play against the CPU hard mode and win, I am building skills and confidence and will spend months learning match ups before I go to online play, I do realize that good payers online are true masters of the game, and I feel I will learn more from you skilled player if I have some solid foundation already in place, iam not knocking scorpion iam just really mesmerized buy his block adv, push back basic strings and his low start up frame data

@matrix218,
I think this is an excellent strategy, two months ago against hard CPU I could only get off a basic kombo, now I am able to do kombos of 27 to 39 percent damage consistently from both sides of the field, in open field and corner, so I am getting better, my whole plan is to now spend months on MU and I have s few sparing partner I met on TYM who are really good and volunteered to session me so as to transition me to online play, my idea is if I truly understand the mechanics of learning to fight(frame data application of my character and solid knowledge of the ALL the other characters frame data), that when I go online many, many months from now and attempt ranked matches, that when I get beat, of which I expect a lot, I will take from each match an idea of why I lost and go back to the lab and record what my opponent did to me and learn how to counter, I want to learn to fight, winning will come as a result. Have fun and keep on komboing, I punish scorps tele with a safe starter and extend, f33xxdb2+R2~njp~jip~bf4(learning to RCxxf42+L1 in place of bf4), and punish his take down with f42+L1xxdb2+R2~njp~f42+L1xxdb2. And an excellent corner is 11xxdf2~b2~b33xxdb2+R~242 or 11xxdb1+R2~242~f33xxbf4 and many others, I use sub zero cryomancer, not done on a standing dummie, but in hard CPU single fight or hard CPU practice, I love mk, and want to take a long time to become a good fighter, this is the type of game that take years to become proficient and to me that is what is exciting
