Introduction

The series' long-standing mascot and Ed Boon's precious baby. Scorpion is a fairly standard yet aggressive character that relies on pressure and damage up close.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Simple Combos and Conversions: Scorpion is one of the easiest beginner characters to learn due to his extremely simple combos and transitions/cancels into specials. Quick Specials: Scorpion's specials typically have a short startup and recovery, allowing most of his specials to be safer on block (or at least safe enough to begin a string). Spear Pressure: Scorpion's approach revolves around constant and swift pressure, which allows him to be a far more dangerous threat against characters with slow startups, weak movement, or a larger body.

Predictable: Scorpion's playstyle often funnels into a good rushdown complemented by his three-hit strings and Hell Port, but over time, especially due to Scorpion being overused in online play, it's relatively simple to predict a Scorpion player's next move or string and find a gap to punish from. Please Get Over Here: Scorpion lacks any sort of zoning, including projectiles, which puts him at a significant disadvantage against zoners and keepaway characters. He can temporarily avoid being outzoned by using Hell Port, but this isn't a concrete solution as it's very predictable and practically the only option Scorpion has against zoning. Underwhelming Damage: Most of Scorpion's basic strings and specials aren't able to deal much damage on their own, demanding more effort from the player. Creating more complex combo extensions can benefit and increase his damage output.
