Good idea, though a lot of people will cry broken.
Two COMPLETELY different games. being 5/5 in SF is totally different.... where there are some 9-1 and 8-2 matchups across the board.
I showed TS(Uigi) Erebis recent Scorpion-play, but it wasn't good enough for him.

~safe jump is a 23~% damage combo that sets up for a perfect 50/50 that either vortex into themselves or lead into big damage... your choice. / ~ - dash - ~, j. / ~, . Who the FUCK gets 41% damage off a goddamn air-to-air kick? Fucking SERIOUSLY? is amazing too. Fucking :en, , , , ~, cross-up j. / ~~~safe jump might only work with your back in the corner but it 1) gets you out of the corner 2) gives you a corner 3) ends with a safe jump to setup 50/50s into big damage or more mixups 3) is a FORTY - FUCKING - ONE percent damage setup starting from a teleport that, even if you fuck up and get blocked, you have frame advantage + a corner, which means mixxxups (three X's because someone's getting dicked down). x ∞ is./ are unsafe. ... Wait. Is it still considered a big weakness if you can patch that hole by not doing horribly unsafe shit randomly? is unsafe? Look, is a safe overhead that gives you spear into safe jump setup into 50/50, and is a safe low that gives you... spear into safe jump setup into 50/50. should only be used inside combos. should only be used for anti-air shenanigans and as a HILARIOUSLY strong tool for punishment. Seriously: , nj. / - dash - , j. / ~, j. / ~air throw, :en does 40% damage. You can also do that same combo, but starting from the safe overhead for 41%. Hell, that first combo starting from spear is actually incomplete, if you start it with it does 44%... or you can start it from for 45%.
As opposed to Sektor's teleport which leads straight into a combo? Why can't it be sped up a bit? And what is everyone's obsession with the 1 strings? He has other strings, you know.
That makes no sense. Your whole post is one big contradiction.
right but every hit in the string of 1's is safe. So you never know when Scorp will actually stop the string or cancel into a spear or just stop and throw you.
You should've seen that Uigi git say he could improve REO's Mileena play by three times, easily.
Well, Sektor's teleport leads into follow-ups where as Scorpion's creates perfect 50/50s. The thing about combos is that they can be broken, with Scorpion's unreadable jump-in 50/50 shenanigans, you put your opponent into a situation where he HAS to guess. It's scary. Why should it be sped up a bit? It's fast enough to combo into, and he doesn't need it for anti-zoning as long as he has Hellfire.
/ / string, he DOES have other strings, but they're no where NEAR as useful. It's good enough people would KILL to get it for their characters, pressure, mindgames, combo-starter, frame-traps with spear or your 50/50. It's a stupid good string, he DOES have other strings, but nothing worth mentioning outside of maybe . People online might think is worth a damn because LOL SO COOL LOOKING, but they're the only ones. So no, Scorpion really doesn't have other strings, at least none that are really great outside of a combo, and he doesn't really need them.Dude, I have no beef with you. You're just wrong about this. You're not being persecuted, people are just disagreeing with you and providing evidence/data to support their stance. Something you're really not doing. You're here saying that Scorpion is empirically proven to be awful and needs and immediate buff to compete... then listing the shit you want changed. And that's it. The change to the
string so the first hit isn't high would be okay, but it's not something he absolutely NEEDS for any reason.I missed this before. And goddammit, man. First off, EASE OF USE DOES NOT DETERMINE A CHARACTERS EFFECTIVENESS (I'd think a guy with Smoke in his sig would actually be the one to point that out). Second off, when the hell did Scorpion become easy to use? Did I miss that patch? Scorpion being "easy to use" is the biggest bald face lie/most common misconception in the entire game. Scrubs just gravitate to him because he's on the cover and LOL
. And his X-ray never fucks up online. Playing Scorpion in the real world requires setups, mindgames and acceptance of the fact you can't relax until your opponent's dead.
Scorpion is god tier at the n00blevel. Spear wins against my full-screen random Flying Dragon Kick for a 30%+ damage, and he has a move that hits me wherever I am even if I block wtf? Please give Liu Kang Hellfire NRSSecond off, when they hell did Scorpion become easy to use? Did I miss that patch? Scorpion being "easy to use" is the biggest bald face lie/most common misconception in the entire game. Scrubs just gravitate to him because he's on the cover and LOL
I gotta say that Erebis was playing a pretty subpar Scorpion. Like... one notch above the Scorpion dreck I run into online.
ofl:
Seriously. REO wasn't using Mileena's reset combos that do more damage that the combos he did, that right there would make him better. Would it not?
Same. -.-. You'd think all of the people in here saying he's not a bad character would show he's not a bad character.
