the only good buff scorpion's gotten in mk1's entirety. a classic ninja costume
I really don’t understand why they aren’t buffing the lower tiered characters. Also this is one of the first times I’ve actually advocated for them to nerf some of the top tiers. But I wouldn’t mind them not being nerfed as long as Scorpion and other low tiers got some good buffs.

I don't try to understand how nrs does balancing anymore. it's as questionable as arcsys balancing at this point. I honestly believe they developed themselves into a balancing corner making an assist game

Scorpion actually getting some love in the upcoming patch? Revealed to be getting something new in the next stream
Yeah I’m super curious what it is. I really hope they don’t pull a fast one and it be the Kameo that’s getting a new move instead of the Character. Anyway, I’m personally hoping for a good advancing mid string like his f3 in MK11. But I’m sure it’ll be a more flashy move or something ¯\(ツ)

Hoping for something good and usable and not just some off the cuff addition that enhances his air combos or some bs like that

These buffs were much much needed. Can’t wait to start playing again once this patch hits. Also excited to try out Takeda.

The way this is worded is incredibly confusing…
Im pretty sure he means if you do string into teleport cancel, then you cannot continue your combo, UNLESS the string into tp cancel is B3.

B3 -> TP cancel -> 12 spear: combos
12 -> TP cancel -> 33 spear: opponent can block anything after teleport cancel.

I don't think it is but anyways, what i meant was that none of Scorpion's moves (except for B3) have enough hitstun to continue a combo after you cancel them into a TP Cancel, so as Felipe said something like
S12 into TP Cancel into S12 is not a true combo, and that applies to every grounded normal or string Scorp has except B3

I can't believe they released Scorpion with no b3 cancel, no f34 string and no fast tp cancel. How did they think that he was ok??
I've always been of the conspiracy that they purposely make scorpion not that good because they're tired of people complaining to them about a heavily played poster boy

b3 buff might be a very welcome addition. i'm seeing motaro got a teleport buff. scorpion/motaro might be amazing. feels good to have good things to say about scorpion again especially since mk11
