Scorpion's spear safe on block in MK2? The only characters that can't punish a blocked spear directly are Shang Tsung and Baraka, due to their slow fireballs. Everyone else has at least one move that can punish a blocked spear mid-screen. Even Scorpion can punish his own spear. Also clearly you and I are not eye-to-eye. An UBER safe move is a move that I cannot punish no matter what character I'm using or how fast I can react.
Ya know that guy in your GIF? You don't think he can punish a blocked mid-screen spear with a TK Slam or his X-ray? How about Cage's Shadow Kick? Or Mileena's roll, or Sektor's X-ray? How about Nightwolf's Charge or his Lightning move?
You mention far or full-screen as well, but here's a question. Who the hell would block a full-screen spear knowing damn well it's coming? The only answer that comes to mind is someone who is not accustomed to high-level play. When you make a claim ya gotta back it up. Not saying that you don't know what you're talking about; I don't talk down on ppl I don't know, but I will say you are a little misinformed. Don't judge a move based off of videos from ppl who arguably don't know the full game.
I'm referring to Scorp's spear in MK2 as oppose to the more recent games where he's less safe(MK9 excluded of course) I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying here a tad, I never said "Scorp can't be punished" I just said his spear is uber safe meaning far more safer and harder to counter on block as oppose to some previous MK's(namely the 3D ones) With respect, I don't think you've played the 3D MK's otherwise you'd know I was right here...I've played every MK to date, literally not just the older ones nor the newer ones nor a former MK fan that comes out of the woodwork now with MK9 like some people out there have..just want to establish that.
If you read my previous post, I even stated that some characters could counter him at mid/far range and Ermac is a prime example(offline) online may be a different story with lag and all, but if you were to take someone say Sub-Zero, Scorp shoots a spear at mid/far range he blocks it and tries to freeze Scorpion after he blocks the spear, Scorp won't be frozen and he'll be able to block it no doubt because Sub's move takes too long to start up where as Ermac's TKS is more immediate if you know what I'm saying.
With all due respect I've played every MK game to date and know what high level is, I've just yet to go to any tournaments like a lot of people on here....I do think you misunderstood what I said since you mentioned mid screen characters that could counter, I clearly said in my previous post SOME characters could counter Scorp on a block, you seemed to have missed that part I've noticed.
