You should be. I hope they nerf his teleport to the ground so he is forced to play the neutral like everyone else.

um, im against nerfing shang too but.....he absolutely destroys jade srry man xD
This.
This is exactly how I feel. I've played against enough Scorpions at this point that I know how to beat him, but it's not the same game I play against any other character. It's mostly just trying to bait a teleport or ill-advised spear because that's the only opportunity I get to make a move. Even his stupid spear twirl combo has so much pushback on block that it's low risk for him to use basically whenever (and boy do they use it basically whenever). At least the teleport lets me punish...
So all special moves that "bypass neutral" should be nerfed?
What? All of his moves are highs. The only thing that is truly whiffing is his force balls. If he got crushing blows and his second variation actually did something then yea, he'd be up there. Force ball pressure is fake. It doesn't work against teleport characters, or jumpers like Lao and Kabal. You're just bluffing the whole time hoping the other guy doesn't neutral duck or jump backwards. I noticed Scorpion players catching onto it.
Why is it that even playing on switch in handheld on wifi I punish at least 90+% of blocked teleports with a full combo yet everyone on this site claims it is some kind of 50/50 on block... And spear twirl (even though I dont use that garbage variation) is full combo punishable (or reversal special punishable) on block by most characters.
All I want is for Kabal players to have to fucking think for once. Add gaps, make something, god, anything unsafe, nerf his retarded air game where he mixes you up with saw toss and non AAble j2. B1 and series should be more negative.
Lawlz. Where's MagicMan at?
This. Boy oh boy it's going to be open fuckin season on every Scorpion Main next KL if they nerf that tele
There wont be any scorpion mains if they nerf tele
Yeah, a patch is confirmed coming
And it's a high
thank you purple-kitana guy
Not necessarily. I mean I would admittedly like that, but I know that shouldn't happen. Other TPs block neutral but are either passive or can be reacted. Scorpions is so fast that his neutral benefits from its threat at all times. That's the problem I have with it.
His B1 needs to he a high, straight up. He is a one button character. He should not have a disjointed hitbox advancing mid that is safe, staggerable, no gaps, confirmable, and with a built in mix up and krushing blow. Its absolutely stupid. He would still have the F4 or whatever his knee is as his fast mid too and that still has a built in mix with 2nd hit overhead and low hook so theres no excuse.
Yes. Specials should compliment the game not bypass its core mechanics. Moves which have immunity to one core mechanic or another are usually only any good when used in that specific scenario and have heavy downsides. Scorpion's teleport has the reward stacked and the risk is very minimal.
