Scorpion takes control of Trigon's army? Badass. Raven mad now!

YouTube video

Kinda wish now though that there had been a meter burn version to his flip kick.. And I laugh now whenever I interact with the motorcycle at the Wayne Manor with Scorpion because well... Ghost Rider. lol

So I got DD's costume and in storage it says I have Scorpion but ingame even Lobo have disappeared from the select screen...wtf?

have you gotten the title update yet?

Getting it atm...it must be that...

Edit: Ok now I can see both but Scorpion is not playable...

Maybe you have to get the season pass to activate him? or maybe he will be up for official download tomorrow...

I really don't know though. I remember when the first comp pack came out. The first day you could only get it by buying the teen titans skin pack. The next day the comp pack was up by itself. So maybe Scorpion is included in the recent Comp Pack but since you don't have the season pass they will put up "Scorpion" tomorrow to buy but its actually an unlock and not actually the character.

HAAAAAAAAAH!

Scorpion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Raven.

Get mad!

lol, I knowz right?

Meh, after seeing the amount of different special moves and stuff they gave to Batgirl (a lot compared to your usual character), am I the only one who feels Scorpion's movepool is well... underwhelming in comparison? I mean they could've given him a new special or two that he never had before in an MK game, or something. Not that he's bad in the game as he is, but he is perhaps leaving a little something to be desired.

Copy/Paste for the win?

Well, the only thing about him I felt was copy & paste for the most part was having the same animations as one or two of his basic combo strings from MK9, but that's just kind of a small nitpick at best. Definitely still has the Injustice feel to his playstyle, rather than the MK feel.

but that a little of what I thought worked for him honestly. Hes more on par with the standard in game characters.

Yeah, that's true.

After starting to play with him on a little more advanced level now, my favorite combos with him are

113 teleport, 113 spear MB, 112 flip kick

b3, j2, b12, spear MB, f113 leg takedown

wall combos-
112 trait, 112 spear MB, 112 flip kick

b2, 3, 112 trait, 113 spear MB, 2u3 leg takedown

Easiest ones for me to remember atm anyway.

1 = light
2 = medium
3 = heavy
MB= meter burn
And so forth.

I think Scorpion has a bit too much going for him here. His Hellfire and MB teleport are unblockable(Crouch blocking doesn't work). Combined with his spear, anti-air, air grab, and an attacking teleport that leads to combos anywhere on the screen....

Jumping or dashing blocks both hellfire and TP. Im getting really good at dashing away with The Flash!

From what I can tell, Scorpion's MB teleport is blockable too, just he doesn't go into that backflip animation like he does when the teleport is normally blocked.

This was utter badassery.
I know the endings aren't all that deep but I sort of wish they explained threw some sort of plot device how scorpion was able to do this. Trigon is a beast and even making the half effort to insert Trigon was a weakened state or Scorpions magic of origin (MK) some how gave him an advantage like feeding off trigon's power or blah blah. Just would of made it cooler to me.

Also love his clash with superman
Superman: for Justice!
Scorpion: THERE IS NO JUSTICE!

Despite scorpion taking up a valuable slot that could otherwise be taken by an actual DC comic character how does everyone like him? He comes off as a brawler and it lends to my play style rather well.

Now I hear ppl wanting sub-zero..eh..wtf really? The non diehard DC/comic fans are making it really hard for us here.

I agree on the first bit, and yeah. The "There is no justice!" line shows the anti-hero side of his character in a rather cool way. And I already expressed my take on his inclusion and playstyle in the last couple pages or so, so yeah. 😛

Subzero? We've already got an ice character in the game though, and a telekinetic one, and an aquatic one... Definitely don't need another MK character, much less ones like Subzero, Rain, or Ermac whose powers are remotely similar to characters we already have. If we do get any of them over another DC character, I'll just blame those certain "fans".

The day Scorpion was revealed Boon made multiple tweets saying that Scorpion would be the only guest character. Now before someone says he said this wouldn't have MK characters, that was just twisted out of context. He mentioned they were trying to keep the gameplay different and differentiate it from MK, but never did he say in the exact words that there wouldn't be an MK character in this game. People just assumed that.

Okay, good. Figured Subzero was wishful thinking on some people's part but wasn't entirely sure since I don't usually follow twitter.

I hope we get MOS Clark and Zod.biscuits

What I said was they said they wanted to separate it from mortal kombat. They wanted to make it different. While they did do that it was my comment that "putting scorpion in it really shows how they want to separate it from MK."

EDIT: I also think its safe to say it wasn't entirely expected before the rumor. Honestly I didn't even give it thought. Then the rumor came out and I thought "I hope not" lol Then I started thinking that the rumor was started by hopeful MK fans so I didn't tend to believe it.

@SevenShackles: I find other then my complaint of him taking up a slot there really isnt anything to complain about. Hes not "OP" in fact he really feels on par with the rest of the roster. If they make another MK I would kind of like this Scorpion in it.

@Ridley_Prime: I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to add SubZero but I really doubt they do. As KCJ506 said Ed said Scorpion was to be the only guest. Then again how many times do game company's say something then change their mind lol. I hope they give use a second set of characters though.
