The Scorpion Kick in MKD..Yes or No?
It's important not to get confused on the type of kick here.
Has anybody here fought as Ghost in Enter The Matrix? He has a very similar kick, which actually Shito-ryu in origin, except he is not looking at his opponent.
The scorpion kick has the person facing their opponent, and the kick coming over the back. I think it would be best suited to a female character, but provided it is put in it's propey style, I am not fussed.

Hey Sonya fans!!!!!!!!! Have you forgotten that Sonya HAS that kick in MKDA???!!!????
I have the GameCube version and when you press backward X she turns away from the opponent while raising her leg and after a painful blow to the jaw she juggles her foe in the air. It's not EXACTLY like in the movie because she isn't facing the opponent but it's pretty darn close! lol I love that kick.
Maybe they can keep it like that for our lovely Ms. Blade and give Kira or Sindel the scorpion kick of the movie. It would be neat to see your opponent covering his/her face after receiving the blow. Just like when Bo Rai Cho slaps you in the face. I think that would look cool.
P.S. tgrant and queve... I LOOOOOOVE your signatures!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Cube verison of MKDA too. That kick is called the Shovel Kick and is in Kenpo. The difference bettween that and the movies kick is that she is still stood on one foot. But it is close.
Thanks man! I'm glad you like the sig!

Yeah that kick looks great, but it has seemingly the name of Scorpion Kick, so i wouldn't mind seeing Scorpion do that kick as a signature.
But there are alot more kick and punches out there that i would like to see in the game, i just dont know what they are called.
JC van Damme always does one kick in every movie he makes, he jumps straight up in the air facing his opponent, swings his body around and sweeps his far foor to the head of his opponent. In the movie Bloodsport, he does this 3 times in a row.
Now that's a kick i would also love to see

I love that kick too!
Even though is a bit similar, I like the way Sonya performs it in battle much better! Its awesome how she spins and raises one leg in a sting like way to send you high above.
Very powerful in combos too.
Thanks about the sig!

The Scorpion kick would be awesome.
It would be a good counter attack against a punch or a throw attempt.
As a basic attack, it would have less range than a jab, so maybe it could be used as a reversal animation for a punch.
Like when you reverse the opponent's punch, instead of throwing them, you could do the scorpion kick.
It would be a lot more useful that way IMO.

Your right Bleed! That would be a perfect use for it! It does look more like a counter move.

I clearly remember Trinity doing this in the opening battle of Matrix Reloaded to those guards. While it could be a slow kick, in a combo it could be quite nice. Sorry I couldn't be anymore help on the particular type.
