Gesture Required Ahead
Get on that hook
Reptile has no reliable anti-airs on most jump-in angles. Buff pls
no one playing anything at the "highest level" at the moment, games out just over a month, no need for throwing around catchphrases like thatI didn't see one complaint about hellfire , which Is VERY potentially top 5 , if you disagree it's because you haven't played one at the highest level.
They're fishing for likes, i for once even if the thread was opened for the wrong reason i'm actually enjoying seen Scorpion players talk for once.OK guys can we stop blowing up on Eddy? There's no need to get angry.
He makes projectiles or far reaching normals irrelevant. I dont expect a Scorpion to use it when I'm in their faceIt doesn't have armor anymore, so reacting will only make you spend a bar because you can't trade with it anymore.
But what i'm i talking about right?
Do you think i don't know that?He makes projectiles or far reaching normals irrelevant. I dont expect a Scorpion to use it when I'm in their face
You need to calm down. I said nothing negative about this post, just made a rebuttal and you are getting offended for some reason. I can sit here and say shit that Kung Jin needs but I understand how even without those things, he is a great character. Same with Scorpion, bud. You need to chill outDo you think i don't know that?
Would you say a turtle playstyle would be good against hellfire? Let the scorpion player kill himself?In Eddy's defense, Ninjitsu's b2 is pretty janky. Yes it should be punishable. Yes it shouldn't be special cancellable. But man the initial damage (3%) and the gravity that it causes mid combo is kind of a shame.
But Inferno and Hellfire are fine. Asking for buffs is pretty greedy.
Rushing down Scorp in Hellfire isn't easy, but turtling against him isn't easy either. Sounds like a slower death lol.Would you say a turtle playstyle would be good against hellfire? Let the scorpion player kill himself?
I'm not angry lol, that is why i hate texts haha, they don't translate emotions at all lol, everyone understands as the situation goes.You need to calm down.

I think grandmaster subzero does well against him, any tips on that matchup?Rushing down Scorp in Hellfire isn't easy, but turtling against him isn't easy either. Sounds like a slower death lol.
The only real bad matchup Scorp has that I can see is Cassie. Although I will say a lot of people are freaking out about some of the stuff that Hellfire can do is kind of a bill. @RM Crimson Panther touched on some of these. The 214 rc pressure is somewhat of a bill as well I think. Time will tell though.
While it's true that it's hard to read emotion for on text, what he quoted was pretty snark no matter how you try to perceive it. Word for wordI'm not angry lol, that is why i hate texts haha, they don't translate emotions at all lol, everyone understands as the situation goes.
Also i'm letting you guys know that i'm not mad at anyone here, in fact i'm enjoying the discussion.
I don't see why it'd be out of Scorp's favor. What's the problem?I think grandmaster subzero does well against him, any tips on that matchup?
has complete air control
i get to jump all day and no antiair will work, i get to cross up all day, people bait my jumps by i still get away with my j3 tele, i have 2 variations with so many mixups, my combo is 39+ then vortex, i have zoning tools, a low grab across the screen, multiple vortexes, sometimes a vortex after the other, i cant believe if i dont make it ex my 50/50 is unsafe, so unfair. all jump ins are a vortex and guess what, i can jump all day, footsies? lol
how a character that gets free preasure out of pretty much everything be bad?
not saying he is op, but he is beyond retarded, have you even seen cinder in KI 1? its more difficult to use him than scorpion, just saying
How do you feel about Raiden? Not sure if he categorically gives Scorpion as many problems as Cassie, but IMO it's definitely not a winning matchup for Scorp.Rushing down Scorp in Hellfire isn't easy, but turtling against him isn't easy either. Sounds like a slower death lol.

I play subzero, my local scorpion is a great player but I've only played few matches with him, barely enough to understand scorp's playstyle.I don't see why it'd be out of Scorp's favor. What's the problem?
Okay , at the highest level as In highest level right now , the highest level will be even better down the road , I was only referring to one that fully optimizes all of his tools , that we know of.no one playing anything at the "highest level" at the moment, games out just over a month, no need for throwing around catchphrases like that

You can whiff punish jump ins targeted at your head by ducking and jab the ones targeted at your chest. You can also run under any jump to fool the tracking system and full combo punish on the ground against every single character in this game.I play subzero, my local scorpion is a great player but I've only played few matches with him, barely enough to understand scorp's playstyle.
How does the matchup go and what should I look for against scorpion? Right now he looks like a jumping bunny with a teleport and 214 fireball run cancel meter building and chip.
I don't think 214 rc is a bill but rc off of other normals tgat don't have the same cancel advantage can be considered a bill.Rushing down Scorp in Hellfire isn't easy, but turtling against him isn't easy either. Sounds like a slower death lol.

I 100% agree with all this. Scorpion is a stupid character. I would be happy if I never had to fight him.has complete air control
