Il be the first to say it.

[EMPEROR_THEO]

NRS gives Scorpion the most ridiculous tools in the entire cast, and he's not a DC character.

NRS then contemplates nerfing Superman, who for all his dirt, is DC's posterboy.

Makes sense.

 

[LEGEND]

man, even Jeff Gerstmann asked Hector how would Scorpion even work in this game 3 months before game came out, showing more common sense than NRS employees.

i think about this all the time lol

 

[Sao87]

do u mean instant air teleport? or a follow up to j3?


should be focusing on buffing DS instead of worrying about Scorp >.>

It means on his way up he can tag you with a j1 and cancel it into teleport. He doesn't need to cross over you. Instinctively you will hold forward reading the cross over jump.

i dunno, Jesus seemed like a pretty smart guy to me >.>

Who is the fuck is this kid?

Please, remove yourself from this website.

 

[Astrocytic]

Meanwhile.

As long before the game even came out was I the one who proclaimed it's inevitable failure in the long run.

 

[Asodimazze]

Along with Scorpion, NRS should at least fix Adam, Frost and Batman j2.

I hope you guys don't really think that Scorpion is the only problem this game has

TYM's demo of how good the ignore feature is.

 

[Reauxbot]

I don't think you guys have a problem with Scorpion as a whole. Just Scorpion's teleport.

I ususaly duck a lot against him. Ill absorb a few hellfires too, cause as soon as he whiffs a Spear or Teleport..Its dash in and whoop ass...Or whiff punish that tele. Ive seen so many whiffed teleports im used to punishing it now..
So ask yourself...that 9% hellfire or my 41% Shazam Session?

 

[Reauxbot]

It's actually what people claim Batman J2 to be.

that j.2 |:<

 

[Karnage]

i agree, i feel less inclined as you do to make the travel into london or where ever to support the game when scorpion can abuse such nonsense

 

[Benzo]

PL(Scorpion) vs. Foxy Grandpa(Wonder Woman) PL got exposed. All I see here is a bunch of bitching.

 

[AssassiN]

when I said hes broken people told me to hit the lab

Only told you to check some stuff out because there are certain things you could do, he is still broken as fuck though. I've never said otherwise.

 

[Vulcan Hades]

lol I knew it would be a stupid idea the second Scorpion was leaked as DLC.

But I didn't know they would make his teleport better than MK9 considering the mechanics. I thought they would make it slower and more punishable but nope. They went full retard on his MB tele and Flip Kick but gave him almost nothing else aside from a good J1/J3. So what results is a character that doesn't really fit and is really hard to balance properly.

I wasnt talking about that lol I was talking about what people in general said, no offence.

 

[Phosferrax]

It's things like Scorpion that make me worry about NRS' future and ability to make a fighting game in general. Injustice has a lot of downright stupid shit in it, sometimes I just think "No one thought to stop for a second and say 'this is a stupid idea'".

They can make a unique and interesting game, but when they seemingly don't understand what they're doing with characters like Scorpion or Kenshi or Kabal, it really makes me wonder whether they will ever be able to put together a good game that doesn't have moronic stuff in it.

100% w you on this

I'm done after Evo unless NRS gets their head out of their ass and fixes their game. I'm not trying to kiss anyone's ass
Scorpion has made this game a joke

You need a stronger thread title

Is it really that easy to say with confidence that X character is broken? you've exhausted all options?

 

[Indecision]

I'd say fuck it all and ban every DLC character. Even ban Lobo, nobody is using him anyway

stfu.... jesus christ grow up

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

I love how people are always shocked when NRS does shit like this..
if you need to patch your game 5+ times within the first 2 months of the game and still have more patches coming then its pretty fuckin obvious that you dont know how to make games lol.

Its very sad tbh coz MK9 and Injustice are both alot of fun and can be sooooo much more if NRS knew wtf theyre doing..

Honestly if they just fix Scorps' stupid j3 and completely re-vamp his teleport he'll be alot more bearable, a hitting cross up teleport in a back-to-block game is just.. no.
Can you think of any other character that has a hitting crossup teleport in a back-to-block game? Strider is the only i can think of with a hitting teleport and even then his is slow as shit, unsafe and doesnt crossup.. not even capcom's marvel did dumb shit like this..

Of all the people you'd play the high and mighty card against, you picked one of the worst. Welcome to the community.

 

[LiangHuBBB]

I thought they nerfed his teleport?

Besides did anyone notice? The DLC characters are getting better with each new one.
So expect Zod being top tier as well until they nerf him.

fixed for you

 

[RexyWrecks]

I hope that rumor floating around a while ago is true. Sub-Zero is one of the only chars that will be able to keep Scorpion in check.

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

tbh i dont really think Scorps is "broken", maybe a bit overpowered and very much braindead. He's still very beatable, you're just doing like 10 times the amount of work the Scorps is doing in order to go even or win lol.
The main issue though imo is how he's a "game changer", kind of like MvC3's Phoenix, and NOT in a good way.
The moment he's picked he completely changes how the game is played and how you approach the matchup, you have a new aspect that you never have to worry about against other characters which is always watching your back in pretty much any distance, be it j3 or the teleport. he completely negates a part of the engine (interactables), shits all over zoners and zoning in general, and has unseeable resets that force you to keep guessing everytime no matter what character you're playing (IIRC no character has a real way out of this) and it goes back into the same reset situation as long as he has meter so he can keep being a full-on derpy retarded asshole till you're dead or his meter runs out, they usually are 2 sides of the same coin though so it doesnt make a difference.

I still dont think he fits in the game and I dont understand why he was released 3rd and not Zod. maybe they really are following the "the newer DLC is more retarded" formula and they figured Zod is definitely the bigger derp out of the two =__=
I'm really scared of what Zod's gonna do to the game lol.

it was the very same with the DLC characters in mortal kombat! do you remember vanilla skarlet (low into overhead-slide) or freddy's unscaled combos? I honestly think this is being done on purpose. it is some sort of pay-to-win concept...
