Il be the first to say it.

[Heaton]

Oh was he? I dropped out of the SC4 scene when they patched out Ivy's infinite (i fuckin hate patches, idk why I'm still playing this) so idk what happened with the game after that lol.

My point is that he doesnt follow the game's rules, if was good he'd get fixed asap or banned coz most of the cast wont have answers to his shit and he doesnt play the game in its rules.

Using Yoda is a bad example since even despite Yoda not following the game's rules, his design allowed other characters to play him in ways that Yoda himself didn't have answers to. For example, Apprentice and Taki could get a life lead and then run/flip away the entire match because of Yoda's horrible movement. His guard gauge was substantially smaller than other characters, almost guaranteeing characters like Ivy, Siegfried, and Nightmare at least one Critical Finish per match. And for Astaroth, the character with the strongest grabs in the game, ended up getting an infinite on the little green bugger because of his horrible ukemi.

Basically, Yoda is a bad example because even though his unique design broke the rules for him and allowed him certain freedoms, it also went both ways, and allowed other characters to break the rules on him in horribly unfair ways. If this were the case for Scorpion, I think people would be much more receptive to him. But alas, it isn't.

And fuck that Ivy infinite. That was the last thing she needed!

If the community tries to waste efforts to make "anti scorp tech", and strategies then it is just pandering to those few players, it will also be an ironic attempt to validate the character, and that is exactly what scorpion players want.

 

[Phosferrax]

Scorpion gets a 50/50 if he jumps at you.

Dat balance.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

That is also a good point. He is just really good at playing the injustice meta.... scorpion just doesn't.

If they dont change scorp or nothing changes about this they should atleast own it and change his win pose statement from "To Hell with you" to either one of these

1. To hell with Footsies
2. To hell with This Game
3. To hell with fundamentals

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Yep, you can add my name to the anti scorp list too...Just to wonky to the games mechanics...I just don't ever want to here that it was the scrubs that banned scorpion on a podcast lol

If bitching about scorpion makes me a Scrub then baby Im 100% Scrub

Ill own it proudly

 

[Big Pampering]

Oh, you mean how the game is actually intended?

actually down to block was made for ambiguous crossups like divekicks or other special moves that could create ambiguous crossups that are too fast for you to block kinda like a teleport.

edit: scorpion is either going to be how he is right now people have to respect his game or if they nerf his teleport he is going to be trash. the teleport either has to be a problem or its is going to be useless if they slow it down too much.

That's what I am saying man. I am the scrubbiest person on this website according to some's logic. If that's the case...I shall embrace it as well lol.

 

[Hellbringer]

Winning with scorpion feels awkward and does not give me any satisfaction.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

I like how some think that the fault is not making Injustice a pure DC game. lolwat.

There were ways he could've been put into the game without breaking it. Just Make tp like MK1's or like Shazam's/Freddy's

 

[Rampage254]

Just read through like 5 pages and would like to say

-Axel Redd should never be allowed post again
-Lol at ppl defending Scorpion
-NRS won't fix it, they'll try to but will fuck up even more
-Told you guys the game was gonna end up a joke
-Hold down and punish
-Stay positive

Yeah but then you have the argument:

- Ruin 1 character to save the game
- Save 1 character to ruin the game

Scorpion must be castrated.

Yay more exaggeration!!

[Posthuman]

Lol I told you guys that scorpion was fucked up.

Thank god only one person is using him at that level tho.

Says the guy that mains KF.... Bc we all know fair and well balanced she is lol

Even that is something PRO scorpions can agree on

Banning and removing Axel redd might be what we need to bring everyone together

KF is ok though, she doesn't have anything game breaking.

 

[Flagg]

I've only had this game 3 days and havent even played anyone yet.

Im sure there are much more experienced, informed people playing the game...how long has Scorpion been out for? Is it perhaps a little early to demand the ban hammer just yet? Considering we come from a game where bullshit like Cyrax, Kenshi and Kabal exists, it seems a bit much that people are reacting like this. Is Injustice Scorpion really that much worse than MK Kabal, Kenshi and Cyrax?

Maybe he is complete bullshit, but the game is in its infancy and scorpion is even younger.

 

[BlackBryan]

Lolololololololol.

It's Kabal all over again! Niggas droppin the game. Wanting to ban OP characters n shit. I would expect nothing less of you, TYM.

This drama is why I'm here. Keep it up kiddos.

 

[Big Pampering]

he shouldnt be in the game to begin with imo since it is a dc game and mk vs dc already looked awkward so I dont know why they are doing this again. Id say dont nerf him but completely redesign the character.

 

[Rampage254]

I was facepalming at every post he made

"Scorpion is the best? Im gonna main him."
"if he gets nerfed, I'm picking up the next best character in the game"
"Scorpion is fine"

Smh, that guy is still gonna be as free as he was at MK.

If players like S THTB, M REO, A Brady, R UFG, G Pig and myself are all consistent on the idea that Scorpion is fucked up, I'd think its fair to say he's fucked up. It's not like we're the players that don't look for answers. ASM
