It USED to be safe on block at some point. NRS changed it.
D2 KB, F3, 4 KB, Spear AMP, 4, Tele AMP, 4, Demon Dash does 45%
I'm terrible at cancels. I mained Hellfire Scorpion with out any HF Cancels. Lol. Misery Blade is kinda cool but not my style and I can't seem to make it work like others. I have to play entirely off of mindgames/reads like I always have. High risk High reward Scorpion for me, lol.
I’m in the same boat. Cool looking moves and the low has hella range. But not worth it if I can mix with b2 and f4. Thinking I’ll keep the chain or do something with fire.
I would definitely practice it. Nothing is gonna just be easy, you have to put the time in. Unfortunately Scorpion is either negative on literally everything or he has gaps. Misery Blade circumvents this issue by making you safe.
Can You explain, what that options does?Who is using Scorpion?
Pro tip for this game. Put input window timing on medium, and turn release check (negative edge) OFF. You’re welcome.
Release check, aka negative edge, makes it to where when you release a button, it acts as if you have pressed the button. This really only ever helps button mashers. But it’s defaulted to ON. Turning it off makes your inputs more precise and prevents you from getting unwanted inputs. It’s usually when you’re canceling normals or strings into specials. For instance if you d4 xx db1, with release check ON, instead of db1 you’re likely to get db4. With it off, it’s impossible to get db4 unless you press db4.

I’d say Demon Dash. It gives him better whiff punishing & anti-air.
No doubt lol. Asking for buffs on day -30 lol. Should try jade, see what you think, and dont take that for a complaint, i like the direction they took her.
Welcome to Scorpion, lol. He's always been this way since MK1. High risk high reward. Easy to pick up and play but requires either EXPERT level psych warfare and reads AND/OR (in the last two games) high level execution to perform Cancels to actually be GOOD with Scorpion. I have the first but not the second so I can do great against players below or roughly equal to my skill level but higher skilled people will see through my BS and blow my shit up and I don't have the skills for Cancels to try and compensate. How risky he is is why you RARELY see a pro take Scorpion seriously and most consider him a scrubby casuals only free win. Note the lack of people on TYM getting excited about finding Scorpion tech, lol.
There is no reward tho. It's not like he has a great vortex or high damage.
Lol. Scorpion can't have a safe move that doesn't require a fairly high execution Cancel move. That is apparently more sacreligious than nerfing his damn Spear, lmao.
Yeah if you have two bars and Demon Dash special you can get 31+% off any successful hit but with one bar the best I've gotten is like 27-28% I think. This is without krushing blows mind you. He could use EITHER a small damage buff all around to make his risky attacks more "rewarding" OR make his basic Spear recapture again (switch the amped for non-amped but make sword slash do more dmg with hard knockdown) so doing 20+% dmg off a good read occurs more frequently like it does for most of the other characters in Beta. As is without meter and no krushing blow I usually get like 15-17% dmg off a hit confirm.
