In this game, that is supposed to be about "neutral", teleports like scorpions have no reason to exist. Maybe if it was a simple teleport used for projectile punishes I'd accept it but it's not. This character has amazing footsies and staggers and he plays the game perfectly. He is a well designed character that should never have had a teleport in the first place. Give him other means to do combos in the next game and go away from the "teleport teleport teleport" thing scorpion players have.
Lmao. People talking about footsies and Scorpion ruining neutral when characters like Jacqui, Geras and Johnny exist and run every top 8.
Oh shit Scorpion has a punishable teleport, that's not ok. Let's have Jacqui jump in from full screen over any projectile and stay in your face forever. If that's not enough give her a safe gap closer that results in a kb if it hits from far.
How about we're all alright with being able to forward dash cancels normals so they cover 1/4th of the screen in our footsie game and give overhead/low mixups to characters like Geras that make you afraid to even move anywhere on screen.
But holy shit a character with 0 legit mixups, 1 frame links on jailing from his pokes, not even able to fatal blow or d2 on a breakaway read outside of d2 kb, has a punishable teleport that can fuck you over for whiffing slow buttons from fullscreen.
Damn no wonder he won all those tournaments when the game came out...
