This is true until you play vs MKDA, MKvsDC, or MKX Scorp.
That's what Silverrye is running I think
I can't argue MKDA or MKvsDC well but I didn't have any experience of the safety you speak of. Relative to other appearances? Maaaybe. But not compared to others in that same game. As for MKX, Scorpion was only relatively safe if you could master HF run cancels which not everybody could do (myself especially).This is true until you play vs MKDA, MKvsDC, or MKX Scorp.
MKDA Scorp had a high-priority poke that was cancellable into a backdash, and everything else he did was safe, too. It was exceedingly safe. MKvsDC Scorp had a lot of safe options. MKX Scorp still had Ninjutsu, where f2 was safe except for like just outside of point blank.
Safe EX chain too
IDK why some of you guys insist on being so stubborn lol. If you wanna be safe, equip Misery Blade lol.
Why? Death Spin should be used as a whiff punisher not chip damage.
All the strings for the characters are safe except Scorpion. Skarlet has every special move safe and normals that reach half the screen and safe mostly. What is the point of 9 special moves for Scorpion if we all just gonna use misery blade and takes 2 spots??? Scorpions needs some safe options. Also why on earth did they remove the cancel from his 2 strings
Never said f34 was bad, I just think the stagger is a gimmick. I'm also using misery blade.
The misery blade cancels are nothing like MKX hellfire cancels. If you could do the combos you mentioned day 1 then I'm positive with a little practice you can get the execution for misery blade.
Just give it a try as a tick throw setup. It works lol.
ll his other specials suck bro lol. t least you can use the best ones at the same time.
Yeah that’s fine with me. I really don’t know what they could do for you not to want to use Misery Blade. Without it Scorpion is probably not going to see any tournament play. With it you’ll probably see him often. Scorpion with MB is a very solid character.
Seen ppl land it after amped teleport but it ends the combo
I appreciate the vote of confidence in my abilities, lol. To be fair it's more like day 3 or 4 as I did play the Stress Test a little when I wasn't stuck working, lol. Adult responsibilites suck. Anywho, the combos I listed don't take too much execution. Once you've gotten one of the down the rest are literally the same combo from any started. It's like the 90's WCW era Diamond Cutter of BNBs. Can pull that shit outta anywhere, lol. Don't get me wrong I can definitely use the Misery Blade for added mixups it's just the really quick MisBlade and Cancel to get safety in seconds execution I seem to REALLY struggle with. I cannot make the recovery to be safe to well literally save my life. I seem to do better just going off mixup mindgames and reads. I'll keep at it from time to time though. Scorpion is my main so it bugs me that he has a tool/advantage I can't use. That stung alot in MKX with HF run cancels but I was just unable to do it fast enough.
In MKX you had to time the startup of the fireball and start pressing 3 buttons fast at the right time, then immediately your whatever attack after it. Lots of buttons fast at the right timing. It was genuinely hard to do and only people with solid execution and also with enough practice could do it right and consistently, Misery blade cancel in this game is no where near as difficult. Trust me you will get it.
