I think these are interesting posts from you, while I agree with both of them a bit, I think I also see a contradiction.
I hope for your own sake this is a perfect mind game you're trying to play here
The fact spear has a recovery time worse than the US economy isn't an inherent weakness of Scorp, its just stupid. lol Even if it had the recovery time we are all requesting, all it would do is make his spacing game a lil safer and not be his ass when we miss a spear mid combo. Characters that can teleport and fireball in the air would still have enough time to punish a whiffed spear or at the very least get in for free if it was the way we wanted. The Kitana example is just an extreme measure of how bad it is on whiff.
WOW U must really like online mode of MK, keep ignoring the issues I am addressing, the fact that low attacks and d1's can hit scorp out of his wake up teleport is a problem, also the thing with the low attacks, it is a problem that it isnt consistent, there may be times youll be able to escape it sumtimes not... and you escape it with 9% reward while rsiking around 40% damage from sektor for example. If NRS really doesnt want to remove the d1 on scorps teleport at least make the tele vs low attacks consistent, you either make the low attacks win or tele wins. The game needs to be consistent, so maybe do something about those two things, Im not saying TP must be faster, but Im saying at least remove the D1 and low attacks that can hit him out of wake up, wake ups should only be blocked.
What you're saying is only true if you're retarded enough to keep using tp as a wake up attack against a player who has proven to be able to counter it.WOW U must really like online mode of MK, keep ignoring the issues I am addressing, the fact that low attacks and d1's can hit scorp out of his wake up teleport is a problem, also the thing with the low attacks, it is a problem that it isnt consistent, there may be times youll be able to escape it sumtimes not... and you escape it with 9% reward while rsiking around 40% damage from sektor for example.

About the spear recovery even slips is agreeing on that, the ex spear armor I proposed is not that important if other things are addressed.
The takedown is most likeley going to be buffed on safe on block which is really good.
buttt you wouldnt care about that would you, seven cuz you only play online
I know: it's possible to trade a faster travel speed for a slower startup or slower recovery, but the former could make performing hit-confirms even more difficult and the latter wouldn't exactly address the problem we have with recovery on spear being awful.
Exactly what I'm saying. It's not the recovery frames that makes a whiffed spear so punishable: it's that, unlike most projectiles, Scorpion is vulnerable while Spear is in its active frames.
U keep making statements, which u know nothing about, when in a laggy match or intense match u will drop combos with the spear, u are not a machine ur not perfect, people can get up and punsih u on full combo, no other character has that and scorpion shouldnt either.
That combo gives you 29% AND the vortex setup. That isnt too bad for a -10% damage in my opinion and actually works out for you if you play against characters who are weak against rush down/ close combat, like shang tsung and noob.
HAHAHAHAHAH... first you accuse me of being an online player then you refer to online play as to the reason you want buffs?
I agree his 50/50 is slightly NOT in his favor when used straight up.
u really must be an 11 year old, try to tell me you never drop combos, everyone does that, its just an example of what the causes could be.HAHAHAHAHAH... first you accuse me of being an online player then you refer to online play as to the reason you want buffs?
WHAT A MONGREL
Why on earth would I cry about getting buffed, you're making no sense, to no surprise tho!
I'll tell you something about consistency, the reason you can't be consistent, is because you suck. Get good, and you'll see consistent results.
Stop talking out of your ass.
Also, did I mention.. HAHAHAHAhHA
there is no way u can convince this guy.
Ok ... gotcha. You two should still step back and stop ranting at each other.
Tier lists are pretty much shit right now, even Sir Brady's. [aside] No offense Tom, but when you move a few characters up or down who received no buffs or nerfs, makes me wonder if it's just based on popularity at majors. Sub-Zero has a hell of a time against good zoning, which, unfortunately, most of the cast can zone to some extent. Scorpion, however, has no inherent weaknesses against particular strategies: only an overwhelming one against opponents who stay a few steps ahead (and, in the case of psychic spears, those who stay at the same pace).
Again: y'all need to chill. We all came here for Scorpion, and we want what is best for Scorpion ^_^
He's got a point though. I seriously doubt a RNG is used anywhere outside of Test Your Luck and AI, and thus I doubt the system itself is inconsistent, at least when it pertains to the same event. However, I can understand the negative edge and cancel-timing make combos (especially Scorpion's) a pain to input.
Alright: take a few steps back, restate your arguments.
Okay, gotcha man. Ill continue the thread without that guy. About the inconsistencies I put out. I have tested it out myself with sektor's low starter and I really couldnt find any consistencies with it. I even tested it out with smokes teleport which is supposed to be faster. I tested it like at least 50 times and I got smoke off his teleport like almost 15 times. I cant think of any fast low combo starters right at the top of my head. Maybe someone here on this thread that knows what the actual deal is with this situation? maybe its like a real strict timing the oki needs to be performed at?
