i agree with you i mean he should actually use his sword and his spear it will be great instead of keepin it on his back.

I was the same case with Raiden's second fit (the katana was a good look but why didn't he use it). This is one of the biggest features I would like to see in MK6.

I mentioned this awhile ago about Scorpion. And I still say he should have been able to use both of his swords. Also, Drahmin had a knife in his back that would have been cool to use instead of the club, which was usable in his other fighting stances! But I don't think the fact that the weapons come out of no where is much of a problem. What I do see as a problem is that they have more advantages than disadvantages which causes the game to become a giant slashfest. Don't get me wrong, I like having weapons, but not at the expense of losing the credibitlity of HAND to HAND kombat, which is what the game was built on. I feel that perhaps if there were disadvantages to using weapons such as no CHI attacks or less of a chance to block would balance out the cheap factor. Remember people, weapons are Soul Calibur and Samurai Showdown's business, Mortal Kombat is built on tearing out your opponent's organs with your bare hands.

something else to keep him diffrent from sub zero i supose.

Sub-Zero and Scorpion are very, very different. The only thing that is still the same about them is that they are ninja's.

I did realize something else, they arent on his alt.

Well...there IS the disadvantage of taking more damage when your weapon is out...
