We (Scorpion mains) have leveled up significantly from the buffs. Like, there’s actually people PICKING UP Scorpion in this game for the first time now. Unfortunately, since people have a hate boner for Scorpion, I doubt he’ll stay as he is for long. Even though he’s still not top tier, he just isn’t low tier anymore.
she just compliments him so well. this might've been exactly what he needed. ain't trying to be pessimistic but I guess just enjoy it while it lasts because nrs hates fun and scorpion apparently
I'm always getting people that are really proud of themselves that they beat my scorpion when they're using a clearly stronger character usually with a dlc assist. Now I get to play the game
nope. I don't even know if it works as an anti air
Why?
to reflect the player level in knowledge, execution and decisionmaking in a manner similar to other characters
Easy to use doesn’t necessarily mean easy to win with. Also, most characters in this game are relatively easy to use. Regardless, I prefer fighting games where characters are easier to use but there’s a lot of depth especially with mind games (like UMK3 for instance). I’d rather lose to someone that outplayed me in some way, whether it was just better fundamentals or mind games, than win against someone that just dropped their combo or had some sort of execution error.
MK1 Scorpion is one of the most fun characters to play as in all of MK1. MKX was peak before he got nerfed, then he was meh. Scorpion is never allowed to be good for some reason ¯\(ツ)/¯
I think the mk1 version is (for me, obviously) even more boring than the mk11 one (which is saying something...).
The MK11 version was also super fun. Even though I use Scorpion in a lot of MK games, I’m not necessarily a loyalist or specialist or whatever it’s called. He just tends to be the most fun character to me in these games and his playstyle typically is what most closely matches my own or how I like to play. For instance I never liked or used Scorpion in MK9. But yeah, MK1 Scorpion is probably my favorite Scorpion outside of prepatched MKX Scorpion. But I really liked MK11 Scorpion as well. My love for Scorpion gameplay wise actually stems from Human Smoke in UMK3. Since as far as gameplay goes, HSmoke was just a better version of Scorpion in that game. Like, I actually planned to main HSmoke in this game, even started out doing just that. But Scorpion was just so much more fun and better fit my playstyle.
People need to lab against his spear more though. Every character, or at least every character when I tested this before some of the newer DLC characters, can punish his spear from full screen.
