Scorpion WAS NOT As POWERFUL As You Remember in Mortal Kombat 2011... He Was LOW TIER

- Mortal Kombat 9 is arguably the greatest Mortal Kombat game of all time, and in this game they made the poster boy struggle, here's my breakdown of his strengths and weaknesses in a retrospective of the character.

Yknow whats sick, scorpion was actually kinda good in the tag mode. You could tag cancel his overhead to make it safe. His low was generally better too thanks to the tag mechanics.
Yeah true, tag mode he was potato
The most broken and most fun mode ever.. wish it could make a return
you youtubers should join together and start posting back to back videos of MK9 to send a message to NRS
#makeMKgreatagain
Ever thought of a collab with Foxy for a new Competitive History?
Foxy can you make a video on how reptile was in mk9 vs mk1? :) there is NOTHING on reptile in mk1 lol
I love how his teleports were more about commitment than a “why not” move. He had to commit to one or the other.
If you had bar it was pretty much a get in tool if the opponent wasn’t ready. Or if you react to a fireball, even if you didn’t punish with it, you would get in
@@S2369100 did it launch in the corner as well? I can't remember. Something tells me it did
@@just_2swift yup. It lead it his biggest damage. At least 50%
@@just_2swiftI think his teleport was safe if you did an instant air teleport. But it had to be like 1 frame perfect for it to work lol
@@FinalAnthony lol that’s pretty tight
That was peak MK. It really felt unique and it looked so beautiful.
This game aged so well. Both the artstyle and animations. If NRS would reamster with improved character balance and training mode this would be more popular than MK1.
MK1 looks so slow in comparison.
@@Shibu_PLLmao it doesn’t tho
@@Lospollos24MK1 feels like you trying dash cancel with MK9 Reptile
@@Shibu_PL facts
Facts I love the unique looks that nrs always goes for…but in mk1 made it inj3 reskinned as mortal kombat
Can you please make more vids like this I really enjoyed this
Any intention of doing more of these, I think it'd be really cool to see a series of these since I dont think there's a lot of videos going over MK9 outside of MK_REO and I think those videos are gone.
Love the throwback content Bro!
I learned this game with Scorpion. As a Sub Zero main since 1992 this was the first MK game i played played scorpion in. Been Subbing him ever since
We've been playing locally MK9 through out the years. During these years I did spent good amount of time playing around with Scorpion. My intention was to rework his game play and tone down the flip coin game, and stop using B2 as raw poke up-close.
The approach I took was to play defensively and build my game upon the "Hell Fire" from safe distance, and force the opponent to commit o a jump. Once that happen I could dash in and depends on the range either use S3,D1 at close range or use B2 witch had much longer reach into double tele combo.
Another tool that made a difference was instant tele, that led to cancel animation and Scorpion would land behind the opponent allowing for fast attack. Regular or ex teleport is interruptible with low poke into a full combo punish before the second hit comes out.
In neutral two moves could be used as whiff punisher. First is B2 - long reach but had to be well spaced. Second 2,2+1, it would allow for full conversion with double tele combo.
It did change the outcome, and playing Scorpion was way more fun, but it did not raised him above his placement.
Hi foxy. Do a combo…
he Caint
He kaint
I caint
We need more of this. It reminds me of the REOMK videos
These vids remind me so much of MK Reo's mk9 character showcases. Miss Reo.
i'm still amazed that i don't even remember doing all the artwork for this game in the 4th grade with colored pencils. you'd think you'd remember something like that.
When this came out we couldn’t believe how good it looked. 😂
@@MonoxideTF2 it truly was a different world back then lol
Great Video! I hit the like button.
Well if it isnt MK9, the best fighting game ever made. More MK9 please, it's the best MK game by leaps and bounds no contest.
Was MK2011 always this colorful? Looks nice
i think all MK youtubers should join together and start posting back to back videos of MK9 to send a message to NRS
#makeMKgreatagain
Bro they’re a different studio now that was over 10 years ago, posting about it isn’t going to bring mk9 back
not to bring it back. but to acknowledge what worked in terms of core mechanics which is a foundation that could be easily replicated by any competent devs if tasked to do so. as the flow of the game has never been right since @@Codename_aether
What? NRS made mk9
@@binkl2844 that’s why people said it saved mk cause midway went bankrupt and ed boon made nrs and mk9 was the first game they released
damn i miss shang from this game. also, Slips would like to have a word about scorpion haha. he was a blast to watch in this MK
these video are sick
He must have been borderline unplayable before his low takedown was patched to be safe. How did he escape plus block pressure when his pokes left him minus regardless? Could he only armor out of highs that left the opponent plus?
I miss this game so much ..
I used to love watching high level mk9 scorpion. Slip vs Tom Brady is still one of my personal favorite grand finals to this day.
I was just playing this yesterday foxy I was labbing ermac and some Stryker lol
oh yeah ermac with otg choke and 50 no bar for one touch, hate this guy
@@magicmamba915 lmaoo cmon bro
They need to bring back tag in mk1
MOAR
He's not low tier. He's mid, just like Reptile and Raiden. There are really, really strong Scorpion players even now. The 50/50 he doesn't even need to do, just end with 1/ 1,1+cancels, or throw, or continue with 1+takedown. It's safe and most people won't expect it. That's 3 possibilities opponent needs to account for, all in a span of ~15 frames, which is basically unreactable.
Or if you're really ballsy and know opponent is blocking, throw in unblockable hellfire... His AA damage is bonkers and he can do 62% or so combos in the corner, something actual low tiers don't have.
Definitely low tier but Cyrax bomb plus his fire tag move is OP
Even his ex tele was unsafe you just can duck a second hit and punish him. Most funny thing in the demo he was decent, he can cancel strings into hellfire and he's dmg output was better something like 50 no bar, cuz he can do multiple JK into tele in one kombo. And ex spear was a mid, but i don't remember is safe or not.
I’ve gotten into arguments with people saying mk9 scorp was good when in reality he isn’t, the only scorp I would argue is decent is mkx scorp every single other scorp is pretty bottom low tier
Ex tele can be punished by ducking the first hit then pressing before the 2nd hit, used to love doing that😂
Scorpion was definitely terrible in MK9. Scorpion players were more afraid of his vortex than the opponent was 😂. We had players like Slips rep him in tournament and made him look godlike. However, that was player skill IMO.
moar face cam on streams foxy
we want cam back
you should do like retro/throwback day once a week and stream older nrs games. Preferably inj2 and older but I would not mind seeing some 11 here and there.
Facial hair looking good 😮💨
This is literally the only mortal kombat i never played, i was 2 young to buy it myself but too old for my parets to wanna buy it for me since the 360 was breaking my games.
I dropped my combo to watch this video
Scorpion was decent, he had 50/50 vortex set up, he had a low and overhead, great damage, unblockable hellfire move… scorpion was A tier
MIT used scorpion in a top 8 I think and won, ur thoughts?
1 players results do not equate to character power. Snake Eyez made it to Capcom cup with gief, but he's unanimously considered low tier by the community. Just an example.
Do rain next
Where STREAM?!
Thats a 0 from me by the way
0:28 what a great way to get people to subscribe 😂
face cam? big like
Yo Foxy can u make a a video on how to learn a character?
P R A C T I C E
Ngl I used to abuse ermac port
At least he had the best outfit
NRS' first game is still their best. Why?
MK9 was completely broken 😅
More face cam!
MK9 scorpion in a nutshell. Live by the 50/50, die by the 50/50
GIVE ME MOOORE
The skins in mk9 were so kold
I don’t get, why overhead is shown as mid, mid as high etc? Nrs fix this please
it was like in 3d games. In tekken mids are same as overheads in mk.
Only game Scorpion was actually really good in was ninjutsu mk x. Best design as well
Hellfire too
lmao ninjitsu is ass, hellfire is top 5 char with safe 50\50 and good pressure cuz run cancel plus flame aura. Ohh and hellfire has highest meterless dmg in the game
I loved Mileena in this game. She was mid but fun to play.
Lewisham tescos lol. I'm from catford
Great video, Foxy. Still a zero from me by the way.
this game is almost as disgusting as armageddon on a high level. There's so much that deters me from playing my favorite characters. But casually it's the best in terms of feeling like the best MK 1-3(4 maybe) mix
who said that MK9 scorpion was good? Only GGA Slips made him look decent.
Is slips the one who figured out the 50/50 vortex?
in my opinion, scorp did not have super bad matchups in this game🤔
It doesnt matter who figured out the the tech for the character. I figured out all the tech for shinnok in mkx and that doesnt change anything.@th3d1sturbed1
@@karmap9lice37his matchups don't matter because the top tiers weren't playing the same game as scorpion. Kabal, Sonya kung lao, cyrax ect weren't playing the same game.
No need to respond like that, it's just a question@@223mrawesome
This character annoyed the fuck out of me lol
Where ermac
Scorpion in MKX is the only time really he is really Top tier in MK game in the NRS era. 11 he was mid at best, MK1 he is pretty trash. Hanzo/Kuai Liang deserve better.
Nah. As Shirai Ryu, this version of Scorpion was amazing. I get that he's low tier but I never had so much fun with any other version of him, gamble or not. Safe slide, mix, fun and creative combos and setups, I really had fun messing with ppl with F4 and B2 vortex, used to run mirrors with Slips too. Better times imo, MKX was fun, MK11 is aight, 1 Scorp is eh.
He never was imo. MK was my first game in 95 so I’ve been fighting as subzero my whole life & I’m 34 now.. Ripping Hanzo spine out is all I know & he was WEAK mk9
And my smoke would destroy you
When the latest game is so ass you study a 13 year old version, AGAIN.
Completely unrelated, I just know a lot about all these NRS games and figured I'd share the knowledge
Lmao I’d rather watch gameplay of this game instead of mk 1.🤷🏾♂️
Dude your trash sector and scorpion is top tier ur not even old enough to remember 9
