Hi and welcome!

To start off I'd read this guide: http://testyourmight.com/threads/mk9-basics-notation-guide.3876/
If you're looking for more detailed information there's plenty to be found in the various character specific forums.

NJP - Neutral jump punch. Where you jump straight into the air and hit one of the punch buttons.
FP - 1 - X
BP - 2 - Y
FK - 3 - A
BK - 4 - B
Not too many people use the FKs and what not anymore.

You might be retarded. I was joking before, but you seem to be quite the Mr. Serious.

Bro, it's the internet, calm down and roll with the punches. That's my first bit of advice. 95% of the things people say to you are strictly to get a laugh, not to upset you. If you get upset at that, I don't know how you will handle rage mail.

Lol Enenra you just got called out bro!

God forbid I make a joke on the internet.

Haha, I wanted to tell him this myself, but I didn't know if it'd make him more mad. Plus, it's none of my bees-wax.

Haha, jump in, I was stunned. Been awhile since someone freaked out over my posts.

Yea, there's alot of cool people on TYM. It's one of the main reasons why I joined.
I personally found the acronym hilarious.
KrazieDave666 I hope you've cooled off, but Enenra is right. Alot of people will say alot of things they mean out of humor, and not to poke you in the chest.
Also, if your new to the site I suggest you head over to Noob's passage. Introduce yourself!

Uh...Tom Brady? Like...yesterday?

 

[G4S KT]

I don't know or care what's going on in this thread, but I'm swooping in to approve of KrazieDave666 's "666".

Carry on.

 

[Enenra]

He didn't get mad at me.

 

[SunnyD]

He didn't get mad at me.

Lucky you.

My only fix would be to change "average footsies" in the Cons section to "almost no footsies". Seriously, with crappy down pokes and no quick advancing or long range moves he really has nothing to threaten the opponent.

 

[eskuAdradit0]

Do you guys think I should eventually pack all my info into a video? You know for the people you dont like to read lol

Never! We already live in videocracy. People have never liked two things: to make efforts and to be responsible. If a player wants to learn, then he should make the effort to read and practice, practice, practice and read again.

Thank you Hanzo, but it isn't complete because I decide to do a video for those who don't like to read lol.

Respect your comment and input, but no character has "almost no footsies". Footsies is much more than just low pokes that give you +1000 on hit/block and quick normals. The slowest characters can still play great footsies.

But without those all you have is bare bones footsies of moving in and out at sweep distance with no real tools to reinforce your position safely and quickly. I know you're updating this for your video, but the current footsie description matches what I said.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

D1 is +1 on hit, -13 on block. D3 is -7 on hit, neutral on block (WTF?!). D4 is his best footsie at 12 frames and it's neutral on hit and block. Scorpion very well may have the worst footsies in the game.

There is no definite description. Footsies are character specific.

Bro you should really review juggernaut's footsies thread. It's possible to play footsies without ever using a low poke

I'm talking about the description in this very thread, which is why I mentioned your coming video.

Everything there is basically move in and out to bait and punish, i.e. bare bones footsies. The problem is Scorpion doesn't have moves fast enough, advantegeous or safe on block to make this solid.
