I guess it gets you to take more risk when you use the moves.

first what console

second only sometime when i rush but most of the time it works

i have MKDA for xbox

Me 2.
But some moves can't be done straight after another, e.g. Sonya's kiss of death. You can't do it straight after the opponent's recovered, you have to wait a sec or 2 (or do a couple of moves if in a combo).
His spear may work in the same way.

i dont like the way it is set up. Spear is known as a back, back move not back, forward.
The recovery time is too long. It should be one of the quickest, catching off-guard move in the game.
It takes ages to recover, you as well put the pad down.

heres th deal,

scorpions spear will work in a combo ONLY after one previous hit.

this means that after 3,3,u+4(launcher), the spear will NOT fire.

however, after just the u+4, the spear will fire and you may go on with your combo.

this was implemented to play down long juggle combos that do too much damage. although some characters/moves/combos did seem to slip thru this new system, mostly long (juggle)combos are either very low in damage, or simply not allowed.

as far as the spear being fast...
the spear is as fast as ever, you can block a sweep kick and counter with the spear every time if yer fast.
the recoil time after getting it off?
the fact is, the spear always left you with yer ass in the air if you missed. seems pretty much the same this time around.

as far as the actual movement of the spear...
you can't say 'scorpion's spear is supposed to be...' because moves are always changing in MK.
look at Kano's ball.

just roll with the punches, re-learn your moves,
and just be glad if your favorite character made it into this, the apex thus far, of Mortal Kombat.

and then feel bad for Baraka fans:(

obviously i have to master him the way he is now!
im just saying i preferred it they way it was before. god dammit, whats a guy gotta do to voice his opinions without being flamed!

Damn Pommy's always so personal, don't worry man, he didn't flame you, he just helped you out, you should say thank you

i like the way he is now, people cant be damned cheap with the spear anymore
