Do you all feel jump back teleport is too strong of a tool?

Designs a game heavily focused on footsies and whiff punishing

puts a special move that lets you totally ignore the neutral and teleport from the other side


Bad game design at its finest

 

[SaSSolino]

Some of his best punishment is linked to having the ability to TP in the air. This is why NRS shouldn’t take suggestions from the community on character buffs/nerfs.

A nerf that would nerf the character. How outrageous!

The grounded TP cancel is better than the airborne version though. Y’all would still be on TYM crying about how good Scorpion can whiff punish.

That's the point. He would still be Godlike even after that nerf.

next y’all will be saying nerf the block button because we don’t have overheads. I’m so glad NRS hasn’t touched any of the characters. You listen to the scrubs it will ruin the game.

Uh, hate to burst your bubble bud but NRS is going to touch the characters.

Also, inb4 you’re the first one crying about how garbage tier and unplayable scorpion is when they nerf him ever so slightly.

For someone as experienced as you, you kind of missed the whole point here. The grounded tele cancel is better sure. It basically auto wiff punishes. But the air teleport in general is what eliminates having to play neutral for him at all.

 

[BuffRaiden]

The fact that tho s character can just start jumping forwards or backwards and then hit you with an active full combo teleport in this game is trash character design. "Let me jump constant to bait an air to air and full combo punish you for free." Is the mentality of every "Scorpion main."

The most unsatisfying thing in this game is practicing to jab anti air since mkx to perfection, see scorpion jump and can already taste that juicy 30% aa combo Just to get punished for your good reactions because scorpion just doesn‘t fucking care lol

 

[BuffRaiden]

I mean the worst thing about this game by far is the start up frames on all jumps. These online try hards will be -5 and just jump all the time. Wake up jump has got to be axed, but that's another thread,

 

[spidey300]

yo is this another scorpion teleport thread? like every week with these

 

[spidey300]

I'm like maybe 4/10 on jump back teleports. if anything you want close jump forward teleports which are still a dumb thing to do

Lol at the mental picture of nerfing scorpion so gently and lovingly

Like “Come here bud, it’s gonna be ok”

This is a nerf jump back teleport thread in general, it's just scorpion players automatically took offense to this. I'm including cetrion/kung lao(whose isn't as bad) and whoever else in this

 

[Pygmy_Potato]

It does strike me as a little unfair that Scorpion has air teleport in his base moveset while Lao must spend a slot (pick a certain variation) for that option in this game.

 

[Moms4lif3]

The move simply ignores neutral, don’t act like that’s not true. One character shouldn’t have the ability to basically shut down any movement with ONE move. In NO Game before this one teleport was ever as strong. Yes, it is punishable but come on, that does not make it fair guys.

Also: can we talk about the vertical hitbox on the amplify? You can literally not neutral jump or jump away in MOST situations because it will catch you.

In combination with his spear, which is WAY better than in MKX, he can literally camp and wait for you to make a mistake in some MUs. If you get hit by either one you eat a full combo and he can just keep running.

 

[Moms4lif3]

Oooh, that gives me an idea for another thread

Why THE FUCK is spear a legitimate zoning tool in some matchups?!!

 

[NaughtySenpai]

We gonna remove Kung Lao's jump back divekick whiff punishes next? Kitana's flutter? Kano ball? Or is this only a problem when the character is popular and you have to face him a lot?

I missed the part where any of those full combo... nice try through.

 

[NaughtySenpai]

Jumping teleports already give worse damage than grounded ones. On top of that Scorpion's fastest mid comes at 13f so you can bully him up close after full combo punishing that shit once.

Seriously all you mofos gotta stop crying about top tiers and stop losing to shitty game knowledge and the character select screen.

 

[Wigy]

I came in this thread to bitch about cetrions teleport but seems like another scorpion thread

 

[BlondeWolf411]

These type of threads truly baffle me and that’s not to say anything bad about anyone who believes he shouldn’t have it, but this isn’t something that should be removed, nerfed maybe y’all can make an argument but if we’re talking about offline this move/tactic isn’t some end all be all unstoppable move.

I main Erron Black in their matchup Jump back teleport dominates neutral I completely have to play different than I would other characters, but that’s not bad (it’s 5-5 still) it’s just something you adapt to it really is as simple as blocking and punishing literally y’all need to get better at playing in general if this is something you can’t do it’s baits, reads, footsies etc.

nothing new to anyone good at fighting games I can’t tell you “just block bro lol” because it’s not that simple I can’t tell you how to be better at an FG it’s something you just practice and it’ll eventually click. But what I can say is that if you’re simply being beat by jump back teleport you might want to reevaluate your fundamentals general playing and just level up this is pretty basic stuff

And just to clarify I play most of the characters on the roster I just happen to main Erron/Cassie I have since mkx

 

[Braindead]

It's fine

 

[Wigy]

Nah for real though cetrions air teleport is just as fucking annoying.

The stupidity of her teleport is really slept on.

 

[GLoRToR]

• Teleport a high
• No MB on Whiff or on Block, only on Hit

 

[stokedAF]

I don’t mind the teleport. It’s the only time I get to use shao Kahn’s highs and his stupid “reversal punish throw” crushing blow. It’s EvERYThInG else that fucks me up lmao.
