Skarlet also has a variety of long range pokes
All slow and negative on block way beyond -2, terrible whiff recovery and can't even be used to explore combo conversions
Lies.
Also very slow startup, punishable if blocked, used only if well timed against high projectiles, long recovery, works better fullscreen, but can't use it against scorpion.
a projectile that isn't a projectile,
One of her two best special moves honestly and its only good because its not a projectile
meterless 300 damage combos
Lies
Sure, every single one of them cost meter, want to know how much she gains?, 9% with heart pierce 7% universal, 4% with siphon, how often are you getting hit by a 9f counter, a 0ver 20f startup move outside of combos, siphon on punish for sure to get 4%.
What does Scorpion have to open you up? A 13f stagger that's -2 on block.
Same as Skarlet, difference is, Scorpion B1 its a freaking mid, Skarlet s2 its a high, you can low profile it and hit her under, range is about the same.
But do i really need to tell you Teleport Cancel Opens anyone up?
You can't compare apples to oranges here. She has a completely different toolset and fucks Scorpion up in the mid and close range.
Scorpion's teleport fucks the entire cast at any range ground or air. Scorpion has a 6f poke up close, Skarlet to start pressure from a d1 (which its her only good and fastest poke) against Scorpion needs to use 1f links, highs or mids.
His stagger game in Reborn isn't even that good. You just keep mashing d1 after f3 until you get kbed, roll out and from now on the worst that can happen is that you get put full screen from the second hit of f34 an eat like 80 damage or whatever the value on that move is.
His stagger game is much more potent in Searing Rage, but that also comes at a much higher risk.
Go play a competent Geras, Erron or Sonya, then tell me the Scorpion "guessing game" is terrible.
Scorpion is just minding his business and making fun of your inability to play patient and smart, while those characters straight up put you in a blender.
Lies, you guys keep talking like you're reaction gods, no one in this world is ducking 10f throws on reaction, specially when he can walk forward into F3 which is 13f safe and it staggers on block, i think you are the one comparing apple to oranges, we're here to talk about how good Scorpion's teleport is the first one to pass my challenge in the next 10 minutes, i will shut up.
And note worthy, i'm not saying nerf it to the ground, i'm just saying, add more recovery frames to his TP cancel so if he has to get in from behind he has to earn it rather than doing it for free, that's the only reason why i keep posting on these threads.
