Match Footage - Scorpion Scorpion Match Videos

You seem to know what you need to work on to be honest. At first I was gonna yell at you for not having FBC pressure but then you mentioned that you were used to Ninjitsu. Good stuff though. I like that you are punishing that teleport.
Thanks man!

Idk I can't seem to have success with anything other than 214 FB cancel because it has so much advantage. anything else I try usually gets armored.

214 is great, and if you are doing them very tightly your opponent will have trouble reacting to a throw or and overhead or low etc. I tend to crossover and do more FBCs. I build so much meter.

Me vs my Raiden friend (he just got MKX)


The standing 1 walk back B2 counter-poke setup doesn't work well on Raiden because his D1 has crazy range unfortunately.
That strategy works better with Ninjutsu, even so, Scorpion Walkspeed is bottom 10 in the game either forward or backwards, so he is unable to whiff punishing correctly, those characters who have a longer range on D4 and D1 will always hit him every time he is trying to space out for a whiff punish.


@Eddy Wang I need tips man :(
Your hellfire scorpion is good, aside from 214 FBC all you need is variation experience to get used to the unusual distances it allows this scorpion to play compared to ninjutsu.
Also any block pressure that is no 214~fbc is not a blockstring that is why you keep getting armored out, however 214~fbc into almost any followup at the tightest links are blockstrings, even throws.

Set Sub-Zero to reversal with Icy Slide then practice your FBC pressure there, see which one you can bait out with FBC and which ones are a hard counter.

I go for 214~FBC most of the time, until i'm sure they're not fuzzy guarding anymore then i mix with a B3 instead of throw or F2. on the last hit of the 3rd blockstring after they block a hellfire, sometimes is good to throw a B3~ex spear, and sometimes they just armor out of it.

Haven't had any good online matches lately due to lag, so I'm posting some vs the AI on very hard.

You think you bad? You aint bad.
Really wish there were more videos.

Some casuals from last night. Still getting the hang of the new ninjitsu stuff. A lot of footage was lost, mostly the good matches that were played later obviously lol. I know I should have been converting into combos off those d1's stuffing yolo wake up jumps lol. Ninjitsu is kinda tough vs reptile because he can pretty much punish everything.


I lost almost all my hellfire footage as well but here is some.


Also my first shot vs a flame fist Kang after patch.

GGs.

You should definitely go Hellfire Vs Reptile. In fact, any character that can punish F2 when spaced correctly should get the Hellfire treatment. The list isn't long though lol.
 
Need to study for an upcoming tourney. Can anybody point me to match vids of Scorp (any variation) vs Grandmaster Sub Zero that you'd recommend to watch?

Thanks :)

<- Ninjutsu convert...so yeah; ice clones :|

Coincidentally me and @RedRaptor10 ran this last night. His GM Sub is brand new so he's still learning the character, but he's also just a good player and general and actually has some good stuff with him I don't see a lot of Sub's use. I'll see if it's cool with him if I can put a few of them up.

ya that's cool. it's my week 1 Sub but i think i got the basics down. IDK the match-up yet but it seems like Ninjutsu is a good pick for Grand Master.

Some online matches of me and M2Dave from today. Ninjitsu then Hellfire.



Will have another after.

I've got to reupload the hellfire matches because there was some sort of error. These are all recorded on ps4's record feature.

Isn't is annoying when forward advancing normals make your EX teleport whiff? It's like an option select vs Scorpion when he's waking up.
Yea. I was equally surprised how good Sub's 12 works as a pure low to mix up with b2. I don't know why more Sub Zero's don't do that.
 
those GM Sub matches...good stuff! Made me rethink how I should approach the Match Up. :)

Thanks again!
