You can see his spear in footage already released.

They could add (for MK7) variants of the spear move:

spear aimed at different heights ,not just throat,ankles,waist etc causing oppenent to be dragged in along the floor etc.

spear wrap around body temporarily given free hit like subzero's freeze does.

Multiple spear throw fatality...!

A throw move using the spear.

It'd be cool if the MK Team took advantage of the 3D environment and allowed people to control where the spear went when Scorpion throws it.

For example, Scorpion throws his spear at Sindel, but she sidesteps away. Maybe you could control the spear thwith the analog stick where it could come back and follow here where ever she went, until she either blocks it or you disable it yourself somehow.

Or Scorpion could have two differnt spear moves. The first being the original one where it comes straight at you and the second where Scorpion throws it in another direction and it bonces off walls, selings and the floor. Of course it could also be controled by the analog stick.

maybe scorpion could have two spears. i like the idea of free control of the speared enemy. being able to spin the opp. above your head like a lasso till the spear rips out sending the opp. flying. maybe even sending him or her into a death trap ;)

it would be kinda cool if he had a spear come out of each hand to F up the opponent even more..

One spear is enough for Scorpion I think! Trying to have to just complicates things. If one's controled by the analog stick, then what controls the other one?

Nah! One's enough.

Dude, He could have this move where he throws the spear at you and it impales you in the chest, then he just pulls you hard enough for you to go flying across the arena.

Or maybe for a fatality idea for MK7 he could like impale you and pull you towards him, pull his sword out and just does a brutality-like combo and suddenly he stops about 2 sec. later your body parts just slip away. (like in Resident Evil when the black guy gets sliced by the lasers)

That's a killer idea GD. Like the old MKII Kung Lao fatality where you were able to control his hat for a second. Your idea reminds me of the first MK movie where Scorpions spear flew around the forest before getting embedded into a tree. On next gen consoles that would be a killer idea. Keep up the great ideas GD!!

A fatality sounds more plausable!

As a fatality, it sounds more plausable! Id rather see him simply use the spears in a tandum like a chain whip form to despatch an opponent.

I love scorps regular weapon the ryu thingy but it would be so sweet if he had his spear for a weapon! he could swing it around and like wrap it around his body like a chain...also he could use his foot to make it go fast and stuff. that may not suit him as a ninja but it would be so badaz! just a little thought if they wanted a new weapon other than a sword for him rofl.

I'm actually thinking of downgrading Scorpion's spear rather than upgrading it. I didn't like how it tracked airborne opponents in MKDA - too damn cheap. Although I would like there to be an "air spear" as a separate move - say b,f+2 rather than 1. That would still give the player the ability to spear airborne opponents but would make him/her have to correctly anticipate a jump.

...But then again I saw in his profile video that Scorpion has his air throw back, so giving him two moves against airborne opponents might be too much of an unfair advantage.

As for a Scorpion spear fatality, I was thinking of something inspired by "Hellraiser": Scorpion throws his spear into his opponent's chest, then lets go of the rope - it just hangs in midair. Then several spears shoot out of the darkness. The opponent cries out as each spear pulls on his/her body until it is literally ripped apart.

anyone know why in the movies scorpion had like a huge snake with big teeth come out straigt from his hand. like his skin breaks and the snake breaks through... anybody who's seen the movies know what i'm talkin about? so did they like make a mistake or somethin...? if he had that in MKD that would make his name more fitting, too bad he won't.

I think the whole snake spear idea would have been cool for a fatality... he just shoots it in your chest and it proceeds to tear you up inside.

IMO Scorpions spear should remain the same, scorpion would be way too imbalanced if they let you aim it and what not. I like the idea of having the opponent scream while their speared though.

Fuck spear fatalities, I want toasty. :(

NO MORE TOASTY! jk

imagine a 3-D toasty

toasty's the one where he takes his mask off and spits out fire right? ( i never used to do fatalities in the previous games).

yes that is a toasty

While there's plenty of possible fatalities that I can think of for Scorpion...I'll just describe two.
Scorpion could cast his spear into his opponent as he normally does. But instead of simply reeling them in, he sends a flame from his mouth to his hand and then down the length of the spear which then ingulfs his opponent in fire. He then reels then in and slashes them in two at the waiste with his sword.
OR
Scorpion could summon a clone of himself much like he did in that one fatality where he would summon those multiply clones and then it faded to black. One Scorpion could stand in front of his opponent and the other Scorpion could stand in the back. They could both cast their spears and pull the opponent's body in half, the front of his body falling forward and the back falling ofcourse backwards.

pfft im all about the spear ( notice username )

I dont like the big thick rope spear, i like his MK4 one. He should have one like that or a metal chain one.

For a weapon he could have his spear head coming out of his hand, like his mk2 fatality.

I think it should be a living creature like in the movies. The serpent idea was really cool and seemed much more vicious.

One idea for a non-living spear would be that the tip is on fire and when it hits the opponant it sets him on fire (like the raising hell move) and then pulls him towards scorpion.
