I saw all of this coming the moment they even hinted at Scorpion being in Injustice because I knew that the tele-punch would not fit into Injustice's mechanics. When I actually got my hands on him and saw that this move was soo fast you could almost kombo it into itself, I told everyone then and there that Scorpion needs to be banned. This is not a "wait and see" scenario. Scorpion is kool for shits and giggles, but has no place anywhere near a tournament in his present form.
As far as the "learn the matchup" crap, I'm always the first to say "shut up and play" but this is retarded. Not only does the tele-punch not conform to Injustice's ruleset, it is really hard to react to due to it's speed. I have to agree with Tom Brady on this one in that sure, people are finding "anti-Scorpion" tech but Scorpion mains aren't putting in the work to level up that the rest are. So what happens IF we find a way to beat him and then Scorp mains go "Holy shit! We gotta level up now!" Then where are we?
A lot of excellent reasons for banning the character have been posted in this thread, but for me, the best reason was watching that charity stream and seeing CDJR vs. REO. Seeing two top players go at it and REO is damn-near passed out from boredom while JR looks like he's about to physically gnaw on the monitor he is trying so hard to beat Scorpion (REO). If a room full of the top players can't deal with Scorpion's BS, then I think it's safe to say that Scorp's BS is in fact BS.
PS. I have missed REO's troll threads. This made my day
PPS. Perfect Legend, I'll be looking for you @EVO.....
