Nerf or get rid of scorpion/teleport.

[Caspian]

It's just not fair, it's cheating because he completely break the laws of the game mechanics, makes me want to stop playing mortal kombat. Scorpion ruins all the fun, all the competitiveness. It's just so lame and makes me want to puke at scorpion mains.

you don't need to tell me how to adapt, i adapt in real street fights before you grow balls, this is not about adapt, this is to say that this particular moves is so op and makes it unfair because you can completely destroy years of muscle memory with it. i can adapt while sleeping, the post i am making is not to talk about adapt it is to have a deeper analysis of the move. moron. i don't care if the move was from 99999 BC, its about whether the move is op or not.

it's not Op the risk-reward is fair... you block it he gets launched, he hit he gets a launch. you just can't zone scorpion, that is his character trait. just like you can't really fight kotal up close. or let yourself be cornered by a kano or sub-zero. scorpion isn't the only one with amazing anti zoning tools either, jade exists, Raiden with sparkport, Cetrion ect ect. he can't even throw teleport out to catch you counter poking really because it's a high and it will just whiff.

That's.. that's how fighting games work. Different characters have different tools, effective ranges, strengths, weaknesses, etc. so each matchup is meant to be different. If that involves not throwing projectiles or randomly jumping cause they have a teleport, that's just how it goes. How much it frustrates you means very little.

another dumb thick moron, this is not how fighting game work, how many fighting game have you played? How many characters have the teleport ability? fighting game is about adopting, i know that and i am good at that too, but there is playing with skill and then there is a broken mechanic/op mechanic that don't require skill at all, so the difficulty level is so different that it becomes unfair, can you understand it? in almost all other games, yeah some characters have moves that are op but they come with a price, meaning it's a lot harder and require more skill to pull it off. Understand?

I've played other fighting games, yes. If you're unironically asking "how many characters have the teleport ability" right after attempting to berate me for not playing other games then I can't help but think YOU don't play other games. Street Fighter has had teleports since SF2 and SF is lauded as the #1 most influential fighting game series of all time. Guilty Gear has teleports. Skullgirls has teleports. Blazblue has teleports. Tekken of all games has teleports. All these characters with teleport options force matchups to have different dynamics as I mentioned before.

As for Scorpion specifically, you're insisting his teleport is OP and requires no skill. So Scorpions can just throw that teleport out freely with no thought and it works with no "price" involved. Is that what you're saying, despite Scorpion being guaranteed to eat a full combo punish if the teleport is ducked or blocked?

EDIT: to make this less confrontational since you're clearly just looking to vent, I'll offer this tidbit of info. Aside from his REALLY bad fireball toss custom move, Scorpion has no ability to threaten his opponent at a long distance despite having a teleport. This means the instant you get a life lead, you can simply wait him out and force him to take risks such as teleporting. He has no long range threat when you have a life lead because his spear is a High as is his teleport. You can simply sit full screen ducking and wait him out. Like I keep mentioning, his ability to teleport forces different matchup dynamics and waiting him out is a perfect example of one. Just as Scorpion thrives off punishing impatient players, he gets thrashed pretty efficiently by patience. We're just going to have to agree to disagree on his teleport as you see it as this horrendously designed OP mechanic while I just see a suicidal movement attack that's pretty easy to work around and bait the instant you have a lead. If this were still patch 1 of the game where it was a Mid, I'd 100% agree with you; but with it long since being nerfed to be a High, I just can't see what has you so mad at it.

Scorpion is the most pathetic rape-character for reallife-losers to exploit but there are also certain abilities of some other fighters that over and over again get used by failed nerds that not want a good fight but only easy, cheap "victories" - abilities that are hard to deal with in at least certain situations like while already lieing on ground and trying to stand up.

I sometimes ask myself whether these devs knew what they are doing there every time... ;-P And the ping-rates I often have to see also a bad joke for multiplayer and such a game where fast (re)actions and combos count...

I play casual. I do not play online. Is it ok with all you keyboard warriors if I use Scorpion since I grew up with him playing Mortal Kombat in an arcade. -- you know the real world?

--- Why so serious?

Well Kasual is online.

Scorp is pretty easy to beat, players usually spam the same moves over and over so just use the correct counters and you'll be grand. Good luck and have fun!

[Clancy McFancy]

Just block?

[Flashbang]

easiest way to beat scorpion is just crouch. most of his attacks are highs (the teleport especially) and almost everything can be punished super hard.

are you kidding? you can't zone, you can't rush down, you can't pressure, it completely changes the game.

yeah, no need to get rif of scorpion he is a famous character, but they get rid of sonya's famous leg grab, so, if they do that, why not get rid of hell port, it's been there for a long time i know but if it is ruining the fun and experiences why put it there?.
