Yea i was thinking the same marcus but i realized ttheres levels to scorpion and ppl will be amazed by good scorpions rather then random teleport scorpion
Framework333 yeah but if u spend $60 on a game. U want to play people who actually practice the character instead of some 8 year old just picking up a controller. While I understand what ur saying i have to say that scorpion is a raging tumor that is killing my soul. Its not that hes hard to beat but that he is the least fun character to play against
Hey TrueUnderDawg i recently found your channel around a month ago because i was interested in MK11 and the characters but now i’ve been staying because your positive attitude and enjoyable personality so all i got to say is keep up the good work and i love your content 👍!
Kombat League Season One 90% Scorpions spamming Falling Ashes into the teleport, Death Spin, then Hack And Slash (enhanced spear) 2% Someone actually playing a different character who's good at Rank 7% Uppercuts and throws
@@lukevo1820 I hate Noob Saibot, and only seen two people even use him in ranked. His teleports and sickle snag is not even exploitable cause everyone counters it. Sub Zero isn't bad, he's not great like others in the Meta but he has good mixups. But the ice slide is a little annoying but manageable. No, I see a lot of Erron Blacks and Skarlets, and their pretty good. A few good Shang Tsung players are out there too.
I’m a scorpion main, and honestly, he’s such a fun character to play as. I can see where people get frustrated against him, but I definitely think he’s an overall beatable/counterable character. A little annoying to play against because of the hellport, but it’s easily punishable if you block it. Wish they’d make frost better though. She’s loads of fun to play as well.
Agreed. Ofc scorpion mains who rely on gimmicks are gonna complain. Tbh its only a problem in reborn because he can cancel his teleport and be safe off of everything.
Kieran Taylor scorpion main located, the issue I feel is that scorpion is arguably one of the easiest characters to play in mk11 so you’re saying that it needs to be challenging to face someone who isn’t challenging to learn it’s really annoying when anyone can pick up the controller and double flawless you (I know people on the internet are bad at understanding hyperboles so hyperbole warning)
Bernard Moore i dont like how the d pad is connected id be alot better if it had the PS4 spaced design i use my stick more than the cramped dpad shits annoying
After this series is done you should make videos about the philosophy of the game; neutral, meta etc. Maybe tournament analysis videos idk. You seem like a very mature type of content creator. Cheers m8
agree, or give her a parry or something, she needs some kind of overall buff, most damage I've ever been able to het is about 40% after a fan buff and a crushing blow off a corner combo
Well... i met some sub zeros, erron blacks pretty often and a jade player once. This game is really different from MKX that i’ve fought with everyone in the roster in the same week i bought the game
I, myself as a scorpion main. Find this very helpful. Sometimes for a start-up is the spear buff, Falling Ashes (If you are on nintendo Switch) With is -> B, A, KB. Spear (,Y, AMP) Hell Port (Down, , A. That should probably give you about Probably 8 hits.
I knew scorpion was going to be stupid good in this games because he was very average in mkx but my god I wasn’t expecting the complete overhaul. You can’t go more than 2 matches online without seeing him and even an average scorpion is a good scorpion. He either needs a damage nerf or more punishable normals. If he controls the match that’s just it. You’re blocking until you’re dead.
Over 20 characters in the roster but 90% play 1, lol the lack of diversity in the game will make people bored very quickly, he takes so little time to learn and he's cheap from any range Imagine if he was removed completely for a month, we might actually have more enjoyment from the game
I think the sales for the game would drop, since Scorpion has been the icon for many years and a LOT of people love him. Speaking of which, imagine an MK game without the Klassic Characters. The originals are what keep the franchise Mortal Kombat.
@@khalifabinhendi6107 sonya is by far the most bland character from the OG cast, "I'm in the special forces" that's it.. Jhonny is humorous but bland and even jax is bland, they'd all be in the vault with Hsu Hao and Meat if they weren't OGs, I can name 10 people that have more development and character than them
MK 11 was my first MK game so I Main scorpion because he’s the poster child and I wanted something basic. I DID NOT KNOW OF THE GREAT POWER THAT I HOLD
Scorpion is perfect he has enough going for him to help a "noob" get used to mk11 but also has some downfalls that high level players can plan for as you've outlined in this video. I think he's fair balanced once you learn defense against him and if you're playing as him you have a good chance as well
I really love all of these how terrific/terrible character guides that you do. They're really good for not only playing a character but fighting against the character also. Thanks man
As a newbie to Mortal Kombat, thanks to these guides, I can now understand why I was so easily frustrated when going against characters like scorpion... now I have more of an idea of what players abuse and how to avoids.. thanks 🙏
@@shanejman just had that the other day, beat the guy 4 matches back to back, and respectfully poked him to end it. Then he switches to Scorpion, barely edges me out, and then fatalities me and leaves lol.
@@luisalamo-rivera5787 lol of course it is. That's part of the point with my comment. My main criticism was that my opponent decided to take the easier road to a win with the Scorpion counter pick rather than to use their original character and improve upon their match up knowledge against Cetrion. Some people just have different mentalities with it comes to fighting games: they only care about the win or they want to improve their main to make it the best.
As a Scorpion main, I actually was FORCED to main Scorpion. After playing sooo many spamming ass Barakas, Jacquis & Cassies..it got so annoying that I was just like "f*ck it Im going back to Scorpion cuz he's the only one who can end all this BS"
Loool nah i can beat them but free damage dont impress me if u had to do an actual combo instead of spaming specials a whole fight itd be anoyher story at least geras actually does combo. Get gud btw isnt a very valid argument u the reason why i smile when i do brutalities on skorpihoes 😁😂😂
@@rschmidt93 People don't play online to impress you. They play to win. I beat a guy who mercied me when he could have won the set. I don't even feel bad.
Quick note: Baraka's Gutted KB is triggered by landing a 9+ hit Kombo and is seriously optimized once you add in the monstrous DoT effect. This deserved special mention around 5:00.
This video is awesome because underdawg goes into so much more detail in countering Scorpion as opposed to how good he is XD From someone who loves Scorpion, this video is golden, underdawg. Thank you ^~^
Oh, tiny tip for people who are watching old videos, you can block 100% if you just block low and high and then low, every string he dose either starts in a mid or low, and every follow up is a overhead, and accasionally you will find a third low, however the haunted string doesn’t have this pattern but it’s very easy to react to so not that hard
The purpose of the backwards teleport is to make yourself safe. In the instance of doing an unsafe string on block you can teleport cancel backwards to make yourself safe afterwards.
Please do Geras next! His crushing blows are insanely good and both his throws keep his opponents close. I love playing this character and I feel like I'll learn something new if you cover him. Great work on the videos!
Just a small correction, wrath (2 1 2+4) is his most damaging combo ender for 1 bar. Jump in 2 into f32, db3(meter burn), f3, 2 1 2+4. Easy 41% for 1 bar with burning spear active. Sets you up at perfect range to whiff punish wakeups. Also its the most famaging ender to the down 2 krushing blow combo
Thing with f3, 4kb: You DONT want it to go off until u want it. Because the fear of a kb into a full combo forces people to respect the f3, thus making neutral much easier for scorpion.
Thank you for picking a relatively standard scorpion skin.he looks so cool in yellow because it pops so much. A lot of kids online pick his flamboyant skins ugh like the pink flame mask yuck. Makes him look like a doof.
Since Haunted and The Killing can no longer be special cancelled, the alternative to that is to land/start a Special Move just after completing Eternal Vengeance. That way it'll still work/create an Illusion as if you are Special Cancelling Haunted and The Killing on their 3rd Hit, which will confuse the opponent and can give you really bad ass follow ups, since Eternal Vengeance is such a speedy string.
Scorpion has just always been my favorite character. Like when I was way little and didn't even play the game or didn't even think that anyone else even knew about mortal Kombat. Just thought it was some weird game my uncles had that I would watch them play sometimes lol. Yea I had been getting bored of playing scorpion. Haven't really used him for a few days. he's so damn cool tho probably have to now
I use scorpion and good with him but I don’t choose him all the time, the other characters I use are Shang tsung, shao Kahn, noob saibot, Sonya, Kotal Kahn, Skarlet ,and terminator. I’m good with all
The Spear crushing blow is fine. It just gives players more options and a way to maybe catch someone by surprise bc they obviously won’t be looking for it. It’s not bad play to find all possible avenues to victory. It might even be a way to punish zoners like Cetrion
im a pretty calm and collected guy, but once i started playing the kombat league, and ran into 6 scorpions in a row, I shut off my ps4 so fast because if i played another match i would be a convicted felon.
“Wake up when fighting a scorpion player. Cause they don’t know where the block button is, they still haven’t found it.” As a scorpion player, I can confirm
I play about 75% of the cast and scorpion is one of the funnest to use. But I do agree that his Air teleporting is in my opinion what makes him so hard to fight against. One fix could be to make scorpion use either a defense or offense bar to teleport mid air. That way he can’t have max combo potential for trying to anti air him or catch him on the way down.
I'm a Shao Kahn main, and one of my friends is godlike with Scorpion. The amplified teleport is actually pretty easy to defend against. Stand block, then grab for the Reversal Throw Punish, and that's a Krushing Blow. But they definitely made Scorpion an absolute monster. How could they not, though?
Just a tip to people from a scorpion main. Scorpion has no mixups especially in searing rage variation. Once you're blocking perfectly the only way he can hit you is whiff punish or stagger. Just be very wary of staggers with kick because this is his most important tool!!!
I just dont get why scorpions teleport is harder to punish than every other high commitment attack in the game. Is it not enough that the attack is quick, evasive, versatile and extremely high reward? I know the meter option is reactable but it's just one more thing to put the burden on the defender on top of an already stacked move. It could use a nerf.
Lucas Williams agreed. I want teleport to be high attack. It’s unfair to expect mid teleport - the only way is always block, but I want to play footsies, not crouch blocking all entire game. Against reborn var it sucks because he can safely throw you or kill you with his mid counterhit KB, if you respect that. He has too much options to destroy me but I can’t catch them at all. Fix his teleport, please
In MKX, the normal teleport could be ducked under. Here, everything hits you. Few things in life are more satisfying than beating an obnoxious Scorp player xD
I think u need to mention the flawless block gaps though. The moves might seem good on paper but moves like F34 or F421 have gaps to flawless block. So while most casual players won’t know to flawless block, better players will. Scorpion is perfect how he is
Not gonna lie, I actually teared up a little. Really shows that he put behind his anger and rage, and only wanted his past self to learn from him. Almost a sort of redemption of the soul.
I get the spear krushing blow all the time. I think its because of all things a spear from across the stage is the last thing they expect so I catch them as they try to move forward or right as they're going to throw a projectile.
I swear if I ever create a custom variation there's three things I'm gonna create: one for Liu Kang called Turkeyman and two for scorpion called ornstein and smough all for the sake of a joke.
I'm almost at the point of being able to confidently flawless block BOTH hits of his tele. I've labbed the shit out of that move, it's still cheap though.
As a Scorpion main I honestly hate other Scorpion players because they have no skill they don’t know the character they don’t know how to play the character. They think ohh teleport and they fall in love. But rest ashore I’m not that Scorpion player, you’ll know when you see me I’ll be one of the only Scorpion players with actual skill lol.

I believe scorpions air to air jump in gets buffed when he uses his spear buff.
I'm the 700 like
THANK YOU
Scorpion is awesome! You want a broken Noob bait character look for the only character with Noob in their name. . . .
When you love Scorpion as a character, but you don't want to contribute to the Scorpion army and play 90% mirror matches
@Framework333 Calm down bro.
Yea i was thinking the same marcus but i realized ttheres levels to scorpion and ppl will be amazed by good scorpions rather then random teleport scorpion
I used to main scorpion but after playing 100000000^765343276854287365 mirror matches I decided to pick a new character....
Ya actually

While I understand what ur saying i have to say that scorpion is a raging tumor that is killing my soul. Its not that hes hard to beat but that he is the least fun character to play against
There’s two types of MK players
1. Scorpion players
2. Everyone else
And yet somehow 80% are still Scorpion players...

90% Scorpions spamming Falling Ashes into the teleport, Death Spin, then Hack And Slash (enhanced spear)

@@roozealand5791 lol bro, still better than that 90%

"Scorpion players are still tryin' a find the Block button" you've got me rolling right there Dawg! 🤣
I noticed that too... They hardly block ... Of all 100% I've played with... Only 5-10% of them blocks
Don't you just love when someone spits straight facts, and it's so true its absolutely hilarious?
I block when I play as scorpion

The spear buff animation should take longer and I agree you shouldn’t be able to enhance the teleport if the first hit doesn’t connect.
It's easy to block what are you talking about?
James Harden but to punish.... its a little harder

Yeah but he can get it very often
Would love one for Sonya Blade. She's already my main but it'd be good to see what a player at your level can do.
im a pretty calm and collected guy, but once i started playing the kombat league, and ran into 6 scorpions in a row, I shut off my ps4 so fast because if i played another match i would be a convicted felon.
Which Scorpion skin is that?? it looks sick!
DanMan7308 idk either fude
“Wake up when fighting a scorpion player. Cause they don’t know where the block button is, they still haven’t found it.” As a scorpion player, I can confirm
Please do Baraka next!
I play about 75% of the cast and scorpion is one of the funnest to use. But I do agree that his Air teleporting is in my opinion what makes him so hard to fight against. One fix could be to make scorpion use either a defense or offense bar to teleport mid air. That way he can’t have max combo potential for trying to anti air him or catch him on the way down.
My opponents consists of scorpion, scorpion, scorpion, noob saibot, and then scorpion 4 more times in a row.
Most people decline me bc my w/l but everyone that accepts me is a scorpion main
preach.
Thank you so much, very helpful!!!
I'm a Shao Kahn main, and one of my friends is godlike with Scorpion. The amplified teleport is actually pretty easy to defend against. Stand block, then grab for the Reversal Throw Punish, and that's a Krushing Blow. But they definitely made Scorpion an absolute monster. How could they not, though?
Just a tip to people from a scorpion main. Scorpion has no mixups especially in searing rage variation. Once you're blocking perfectly the only way he can hit you is whiff punish or stagger. Just be very wary of staggers with kick because this is his most important tool!!!
As a Scorpion Main i cant really complain about him :P
Subscribed and liked. Nice informative video!
8:00 I wasn't expecting to be attacked like this
Another enjoyable vid underdawg!!! Can Noob be next ?
I just dont get why scorpions teleport is harder to punish than every other high commitment attack in the game. Is it not enough that the attack is quick, evasive, versatile and extremely high reward? I know the meter option is reactable but it's just one more thing to put the burden on the defender on top of an already stacked move. It could use a nerf.
Lucas Williams agreed. I want teleport to be high attack. It’s unfair to expect mid teleport - the only way is always block, but I want to play footsies, not crouch blocking all entire game. Against reborn var it sucks because he can safely throw you or kill you with his mid counterhit KB, if you respect that. He has too much options to destroy me but I can’t catch them at all. Fix his teleport, please
We can't Nerf scorpion my main
I haven't even played MK11 YET
TrueAura 2ND channel
ME TOO I literally just love watching videos like this 😂
He’s really op just learn Jax
@@bruhwhat3608 jax is op too😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
In MKX, the normal teleport could be ducked under. Here, everything hits you.
Few things in life are more satisfying than beating an obnoxious Scorp player xD
Another Amazing Video TrueUnderDawg!!! As a Scorpion main I've been waiting so long for this!!! Thank you so much!!
I think u need to mention the flawless block gaps though. The moves might seem good on paper but moves like F34 or F421 have gaps to flawless block. So while most casual players won’t know to flawless block, better players will. Scorpion is perfect how he is
Rest in peace Grandmaster Hasashi 😭😭
Best part of the story mode 🙄
@@SgtPopsicle best as in you're glad he's dead or best as in it was a good scene?
Not gonna lie, I actually teared up a little. Really shows that he put behind his anger and rage, and only wanted his past self to learn from him. Almost a sort of redemption of the soul.
@@ninjavapor because he dead asf
i knew he couldn’t live forever but of course that pos dvorah killed him like come on man dvorah sucks pp
Scorpion was my boi in MK9. Hate what they did to him in XL. But in this game I love him. Just have to learn to not raw teleport
0:47 "This niggas pretty nuts"
7:23 damn look at that hanzo
Everybody is caught by mkx scorpions scissors
Early Squad, where you at?
Ahhhh it’s gonna be a field day in MK, everyone’s gonna be playing exactly the same 😋
Underdog telling people how to beat scorpion, scorpion mains like me be like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
8:02 as a Scorpion main for 1 year now, I can confirm that it is still true. 😂😂😂
This RUclipsr is the type of person to play scorpion, spam spear then teleport, beat you, then fatality on the first game.
The hard part of getting around him is not even the teleport..it's reacting to his combo pressure
I get the spear krushing blow all the time. I think its because of all things a spear from across the stage is the last thing they expect so I catch them as they try to move forward or right as they're going to throw a projectile.
I swear if I ever create a custom variation there's three things I'm gonna create: one for Liu Kang called Turkeyman and two for scorpion called ornstein and smough all for the sake of a joke.
Um Scropion is my main then noob after brakra
Edit:thanks for the tip now I can counter the opponents counter of soulless and no I don't block
Newb
One of his downsides is that everyone who got this game has at least 40 hours of match up knowledge of Scorpion against their main already.
I'm almost at the point of being able to confidently flawless block BOTH hits of his tele. I've labbed the shit out of that move, it's still cheap though.
As a Scorpion main I honestly hate other Scorpion players because they have no skill they don’t know the character they don’t know how to play the character. They think ohh teleport and they fall in love. But rest ashore I’m not that Scorpion player, you’ll know when you see me I’ll be one of the only Scorpion players with actual skill lol.
I hate the scorpions spaming grab, i am a descent scorpion too
