God, I hope they don't retcon Scorpion killing off Elder Sub-Zero...though it would be nice to have Elder Sub-Zero alive.

Don't know how the elder Subzero's fate will turn out this time, but I still predict the younger Sub will become a cyborg like Smoke, Sector, and Cyrax.
scorpion is cool but he always gets his ass kicked, killed by elder sub zero, defeated by elder sub zero even when he became spector, defeated by moloch and drahmin in deadly alliance, defeated by quan chi once they were in the outworld and quan chi got his powers back, defeated by sub zero in armageddon intro, defeated by batman, liu kang, sub zero,lex luthor.... and the only time he beat someone is younger sub zero in mortal kombat 4 thats sad
When in the intro was this? All they did was stalemate in a brief sword battle before they went onto showing others fight.
Non-canon, though if we were to include MKvsDC, Scorpion beat the Joker, Kitana, Wonder Woman, Superman, and managed to defeat the Flash before he himself fell in the final battle.
And got his revenge against elder Sub-zero in Mortal Kombat 1, defeated plenty of Onaga's Tarkattan hordes, etc., etc..
ok lets say marvel vs DC is non canon because of the power shifting BUT he was defeated by liu kang and sub zero before the power shifting began so techniquely the only thing that is canon is scorpion being defeated by sub zero and liu kang
he didnt defeat onagas trkans it was part of his ending where he also defeated onaga its just a what if ending and even if we include that what if ending he was impowered by the elder gods to defeat onaga so it wasnt oredenery scorpion
wow so he beat elder sub zero at the end and defeated younger sub zero in mortal kombat 4 thats it? he got his ass kicked o many times its not even funny
As someone pointed out, the power shifting started right when Dark Khan was born. Anything having to do with Mortal Kombat vs DC in general though is non-canon. Not that Scorpion needed a power shift to deal with Kitana and Joker anyway. Superman of course was weakened by the universes merging for most of the story and thus was more vulnerable to people's magic (Scorpion's nether power, Sub-zero's freezing, Shang Tsung's sorcery, etc). But again, non-canon crossover is non-canon.
While the part with him defeating Onaga wasn't canon, the part with him doing away with the Tarkattan hordes was. Hence why Shujinko didn't have to deal with them and was able to go straight for Onaga.
So? A lot of characters in the series receive power enhancements of some kind, whether it be Sub-zero's powers being amplified by the Liu-Kuei dragon medallion, the bad guys becoming immortal or near immortal when they have the sacred amulet, etc. And even after Scorpion was no longer supported by the Elder Gods, he still had other formidable never-been-seen powers when he first confronted Taven (summon giant flaming skulls, make big boulders fall from the sky, etc).
*shrug* The Moloch and Drahmin encounter wasn't a fair fight anyway since it was 2 on 1. But yeah, Scorpion does seem to often get the short end of the stick, despite being one of the most likable characters in the series, and Ed Boon's personal favorite.

Agreed. That first pic looks like a figurine. Looks awesome enough that I'd want to buy it.

Oh.. S'okay then. Guess you should check your outbox a little more often though.
Haha, yeah. And I guess Scorpion will be able to dual-wield some in the game (akin to how Quan Chi does with the broadswords) based on that image. Awesome.
Also, pretty cool wallpapers of the new game's character designs found on the kamidogu site, with Scorpion's on the top right.

watch the mortal kombat armageddon intro and see for yourself dont avoid the facts scorpion got owned by sub zero in that sword fight
when ever power shifting was involed it was impyed to us by showing there eyes glowing which told us they werent themselves, but before all that merging and shifting before all that happens scorpion was defeated by liu kang and sub zero unless you can prove to me that the power shifting began right after kahn and darkseid merged which is just your speculation since it never was implyed that way, it was implyed that all that power shifting began after they started to switch universes and glowing eyes which happened after scorpion got his ass kicked
what was told us is that the MKvsDC storyline isnt canon but not the fights because you see that storyline puts us in a what if situation but what it brings to the table is what would happen IF that particular story happened which means how those fighters WOULD fight if that particular situation occurred so while the storyline isnt canon the fights should be canon until the power shifting began
as i said again scorpion defeating tarkan troops is just part of his ending which is just a what if just like every other ending or would you like to believe that every single ending happened and more than 40 characters defeated onaga ?
you are just speculating and bring baseless things you make up just to suit your so called argument which is based on nothing, scorpions ending isnt canon you cant say that part of it canon because if you say him beating up tarkan hords is canon you also admit him destroying onaga is canon which is bullshit
scorpion got a real power boost from the gods thats not scorpion and he doesnt have that power anymore so thats like saying thanos with the heart of the universe and then pretend its the ordenery thanos which is bullshit
thaks for reminding me that scorpion also got his ass kicked by taven
the moloch and drahmin encouter just proves once again scorpion cant handle some nobodies and yet again shows us he gets his ass kicked but comes back
yep scorpion does get his ass kicked all the time so seriously him being the coolest character like most people think is unreal
