Same. It's good because it's simple and cool looking...these other ones like what Max are using doesn't even look like Scorpion. It looks like a DC red lantern. Too busy.
I bought this game mainly for the story, and maaaaan it is humbling watching people like max play because it instantly makes me realize how much of a button masher I am. I cannot even begin to fathom how you manage to pull of combos like these, I just get bodied hardcore
Find a character that does it for you. Look up combo guides on YT. They are usually very easy to follow. A bit of training you can master the timing. And the rest is just how good and smart you are in managing space and recognizing when to punish your opponent, which you only gain by expreince. And you do not need to master every character to compete 1 or 2 is enough. In MK9 I only played Cyber Sub-Zero, in MKX I played Ninjitsu Scorpion and Sektor Triborg, and in MK11 I played Noob Saibot and Kung Lao, in MK1 I only play Rain and Reiko.
I mean honestly it's not that bad, the beginning combo he literally did the same thing 3 times then did something different 3 times in a row. It's like 5 buttons
Actually I would assume the Stryker Kameo would work well with Scorpion because it gives you free mix Edit: 19:02 Max's editor needs a raise for this one
Just noticed when Liu Kang does his fatal blow, the mk dragon mark he leaves on the floor stays for the rest of the match. Pretty cool little detail 🔥🔥
@@blankblankersonfair warning, the air combos may take a little time to get used to… at least for me anyway, and I got too comfortable with the mk11 amplify system so I’m paying the price having to relearn pretty much everything 💀
It’s like a combination between modern clothy costumes and that era of weird actual scorpion scaly armor costumes. Also looks like something thatd come from a really good fan made concept. Also they should add animalities
Try Darrius with Scorpion, his forward assist gives Scorpion some good mix which he doesn't normally have. Do 2, 1, into forward assist, then wait a split second and do Down 3, and the second part of Darrius attack (an overhead) will actually link and do a full juggle. This game has got SO much cool stuff dude.
@@Xijvn I think he's referring to how Sub and Scorp's roles have been reversed in this timeline in some ways. Would be interesting if scorpion did become Noob in the future.
I have not had this fun in a mk game since elementary school with mkx during the 4th grade. I play Havik and Johnny a lot but damn dude is it fun seeing max lay and enjoy ranked.
Speaking of brutalities does anyone remember when x rays on mkx could become brutalities themselves and I wish they would bring that back because I thought that was awesome
I personally wish they would get rid of x rays entirely, been the same shit since 9 and it's really played out. They take way too long for how boring they are to watch after 4 games.
@@joshvarga3591I agree with this, just like fatalities but at least fatalities aren’t a core part of the strategy when you’re in a fight so they don’t get annoying to see every so often. I actually wouldn’t mind if X-rays/Fatal Blows were replaced with a krushing blow and each character has one and can only use it once per match, while still having the same ‘rules’ as a fatal blow. It would at least have a much quicker animation.
@@joshvarga3591 yes I agree with this and I get they want to show cool animations and crazy gore effects but it does get boring because I think they are slow and a cheap way of getting 30%-40% damage like the whole thing just needs to go away because it is a waste of time and mortal Kombat did fine without them in the first place aways
@@jo0rd73 actually I think the Krushing blows are neat and it is based on what do you like with mK11 have to do one move 5 times or repeat a certain moves 2-3 to get it and got extra damage and it awards you for doing that and it is basically based on the players skill
Also the whole X-ray thing is annoying but when it becomes a brutality it is neat because it cuts the animation in half sometimes and you get a cool kill animation like I remember doing leatherbacks x-ray brutality and being surprised because I didn't know that was thing until I saw it
Great triple launch combo with Sektor. I would also recommend working on Scorpion’s air combos because they are really fun. Also it’s good to keep in mind that his 122 combo ends with an overhead so you can mix people up with a Kameo that hits low.
I've spent hours on king of the hill for that last pvp achievement, out of those last 10 KotH, every one of them had a Smoke at the top with no defeat. God i hate that cheap 50/50 character. I came here to relax and see Max win some.
I'm curious as to why Sektor has to do a yoga pose to shoot rockets upwards lol. Advanced enough to teleport, shoot rockets and materialize a contraption to flatten you, but can't handle shooting upwards lmao. Silly MK
That costume is definitely sick. I'm loving the red ninja team. I wish the screen didn't shake with every hit though. Makes it hard to watch consistently.
Everyone has a universal wake up, or sometimes u can even wake up grab and catch them off gaurd. I will agree corner pressure is scary but there are options
Yeah, no. If you prefer the MK11 wakeup where you armor through everything then thats straight trash. MKX wakeup were much better cos you get punished for using special abilities and each character had a unique wakeup.
The skins would look so much better if they stuck with the regular colors. Different yellows for scorpion, different blues for sub zero. Maybe throw in some neutral colors but don't do all this weird shit.
Base design with the black pallet is much better in my opinion. Sick looking. This skin looks to me like it's from a mobile game . I don't know something about it looks off.
I got really into SF6 as my first fighting game 3 months ago. Modern controls is a life saver since i got wrist issues so doing difficult inputs is well difficult! Is MK1 decently easy to get into combo/input wise like SF6 was or is it not recommended for someone new to the genre?
Doesn't this stage look familiar this is the state for mortal Kombat 11 with the tigers in the background there's a lot of stage from mortal Kombat 11 that been revived in mortal Kombat come on netherrealm studios can't fool me great designs. I like it
This is the skin of the Hellfire Scorpion, the Scorpion whose entire deal is travelling through time and space to find a reality where his wife is still alive (and available!).
I just really like his default costume in this game. I think it’s underrated.
Same. It's good because it's simple and cool looking...these other ones like what Max are using doesn't even look like Scorpion. It looks like a DC red lantern. Too busy.
@@MrKevin486 I remember this one is a color swap for the one for the current invasion mode. Color there looks much better.
100% agreed
FACTS, I’m still rocking the default costume
I like the season one with all the yakuza tats

You just need to slowly spend a bit of time per day in practice mode I know it can feel overwhelming but you'd get good faster that you think
Find a character that does it for you. Look up combo guides on YT. They are usually very easy to follow. A bit of training you can master the timing.

Combos are significantly easier here broskie
Yeah at least you aren’t playing Tekken. Which btw I would recommend playing but the combos are a lot harder than Mortal Kombat.
Max’s comedic timing is God-like. “Liu Kang’s bicycle kick is almost specifically, like, an ender… I’ll shut the hell up now.” 🤣
You saved me the effort of mentioning that.
I literally just watched this and came looking for a comment. That shit was classic 😂
This is the first time since MK vs DC where Scorpion uses a rope spear.
Bro Im just realized too, they replace it with chains since MK9.
Wait didn't he have a rope spear in the last game or am I trippin
@@charlesgreenejr.8246 He's got that fatality where his chain becomes so hot it splits you in half, remember?
@@charlesgreenejr.8246 I think you're just confused because he used a lot of rope dart moves.
i like the chains , but the rope spear makes more sense. It never was supposed to come out of his hands
There's something in the air with MK1 I swear! People seem happier like they did during the lead up to MKX! What a sick looking game!
I'm not good at fighting games but this game makes me want to be. It's really fun.
I wish I had half Max’s chill while playing fighting games online.
Alright, whoever added that Memphis joke with the Sareena brutality gets props for that.
Genuinely breathed out of my nose at that one, more money to the editor please
I found that sektor is a really good combo with pretty much everybody but nobody is using him as much because of being over shadowed by Serena
I'll have to give him a try next. I'm working on complete kameo mastery right now. Got Frost done and am working on Sereena now. Might use Sektor next
Scorpions rope spin with sektors spin is a chip damage nightmare, pretty dang hard to counter
@@Hypnobong isn't it Cyrax with a spin?
@@Hypnobongthat's Cyrax
Serena? The girl from pokemon? 😂
Actually I would assume the Stryker Kameo would work well with Scorpion because it gives you free mix

The incantation Scorpion does when pulling hellfire under your feet sounds like "Oh ma gawd!" and now I can't unhear it.
Respect to Max for uploading his losses too. That was a beat down from the Tanya.
Scorpion is a super swaggy character in this game ngl. Even without the mixups he’s dope
Seeing someone use Sektor properly makes me wanna use him so much more. Thanks for this!
Scorp's threads are likely so appealing because it is a better Ermac that doesn't look like a off-brand Voldemort XD
Most violent episode of "Peanuts" I've EVER seen! LOL
Bruh the beginning combo DAMM that shi was saucy🥫🔥💀☠️☠️☠️

That is a Sick Scorpion Skin no question.
Tanya is looking hella strong in this Game.
max's match. against tanya had to bee the most fun one to watch do far
The second best scorpion costume imo behind mk9’s
finally some other character gamepley! tanya was refreshing to watch

Wassup Max? Good matches bro!
Wasn't Max bitching about over-designing last time? 😅
I think he meant repeating over design like MKX belt buckle galore
Fhis man is the biggest shill when it comes to those checks 🤑🫰
Mind you I'm garbage at fighting games but I really like Scorpions back 3 for punishing guys stand blocking, has really good range too
Omg the Tanya fight was epic
21:16 Tanya with the fahken 👌👌👌👌
I hate the lack of wakeups in this game you can’t push people off who have you in a corner so your forced to block and still take damage
This is a somewhat valid complaint. It can be tricky.
It’s classic mk been like that since mk9 everyone hated mk11 cause there were like 11 different wakeups to worry about.
Everyone has a universal wake up, or sometimes u can even wake up grab and catch them off gaurd. I will agree corner pressure is scary but there are options
Yeah, no. If you prefer the MK11 wakeup where you armor through everything then thats straight trash.
MKX wakeup were much better cos you get punished for using special abilities and each character had a unique wakeup.
I'd settle for chip not being able to kill. Getting spam locked into death is terrible game design objectively. Open me up legitimately.
scorpion looks so fun in this game man i want the game so bad
19:01 personally I want Sareena to do that to me
Max need to beware the Scorpion's sting. The costume is 🔥 as the netherrealm that it was created from.
I’m so ready to play this week!
The Character ive used with Scorpian funny enough has been sub zero his freeze ability and sholder charge is so nice
Awesome they put in Snowblind Scorpion
The colors are different but I’m assuming they’re changeable
The skins would look so much better if they stuck with the regular colors. Different yellows for scorpion, different blues for sub zero. Maybe throw in some neutral colors but don't do all this weird shit.
