F4 is his only launching overhead and B3 is his launching low, you can either use spear, ex tele as the follow up to keep the combo going.
Done and done
Not fotm yet and people want to win with characters that others are already winning with.
With the other variations he does that as well. Just with better tools.
In the other variations they get to wakeup, in Ninjutsu wakeup with meter becomes far less of a problem, which in turn help scorpion to lockdown every single character on knockdown. Basically he becomes in control.
Or you know, just block thier wake ups. Once trained not to wake up then go for set ups. Some wake ups can be whiff punished by a cross over teleport if read properly.
Well I mean not really because to stuff the wakeup Scorpion has to use a meaty F2 as they're waking up (which is a lot harder than it sounds due to delayed wakeups), which is barely any different from baiting a wakeup and punishing/using a specific setup in his other variations.
Yes across all variations
Its not hard, if they delay the wakeup they can't wakeup attack anymore, also the threat of F2 is so great that the fear of having out only helps you to rarely use it which in turn you can bait wakeups, block and reversal punish, but due the fear they will stand blocking hoping to block a F2 or they will stand mashing d1 to tech a throw, this is where the fun starts, you can throw of course, or you can bait a tech throw and whiff punish with F2 or another throw.
I don't understand the "threat" of f2. It's an unsafe mid that can break armor, but what's the harm in just sitting there blocking low? A throw? That's okay, I guess, but they could still mash out the d1 and they don't have to commit to not blocking. I think this is the great flaw in Ninjitsu: losing damage that is normally spectacular and also losing his strong 50/50 game from the other stances. Not only that, the new tools he gains are solid range but very unsafe. Just doesn't seem worth the payoff.
I mean if they delay their wakeup then they can whiff punish F2. Also if the whole point of F2 is to stuff wakeups then why would you bait and punish a wakeup when you can do the same thing in every variation?
That's not really a solid answer, both Heroes and I had valid points. Do you have anything to refute them?
Yes, i think you two underrate Ninjutsu way too much, i'm not denying that hellfire is better, but ninjutsu isn't that bad as you both said it is.
I didn't say Ninjutsu was bad, I said that Hellfire has better damage and oki, which is true.
