*Yawn* Scorpion again? I guess I'll watch out of boredom.

This was a nice video. I enjoy gameplay videos like this, because it doesn't just show how the character works, but also how the gameplay engine works, and I am quite content with what we see here.

However, I am getting tired of seeing Scorpion in every leaked material they offer us lately. Looking at the bright side though, they have more or less shown us everything there is to show about him now, so if we're lucky, they will start showing some material with other characters from now on.

It's going to hit them back in the face if they continue like they do.

Could be logistics. In an effort to balance out that character, it may not be a feasible move to give him. I have no idea really, but I agree it is the way that weapon is supposed to be used, it is a part of that characters history to use it in the fashion we're talking about, and so should he have it as a move. Some of the guys who made Shaolin Monks are behind the makings of this game so, I'm sure they recognize this.

They seem to be throwing everything in this game. What with them combining the fatalities and all that. Maybe we're gonna see it in his other fatality or something. idk.

I love the sword-play though. It reminds me of the axe he used to use during a combo back in MK3. I wouldn't substitute it, even though I see you're point.



I agree with this. Things sound punchy and crisp. To get hit sounds like it really hurts. One thing I can't tell quite yet is if the screams, yelps, and so on are really up to the same standard as the other sound effects. I don't hear it so far. MKvsDC did well in this same area actually.

Scorpion is the most 'completed' character at the moment. These kind of videos wouldn't make sense with another character who isn't exactly complete or near completion, yet.

Can you blame them? Scorpion is their main dude, for the most part.

Shows off so much about the fighting engine, and you guys want to cry over it.

good to see he uses his swords for more than just one move and a fatality

Wow. Scorpion. Again. Never seen that one coming *rolls eyes*

When the fans ask for new material, I think NRS took it the wrong way. They forget they have much more characters than Scorpion.

Bring on a Reptile bio video, or even a Mileena one. That would be something I'd love to see!

You know this is the day Scorpion fans couldn't be happier.

Remember when they didn't have enough "tech" to have Scorpion use both swords on his back in Deadly Alliance, it was too much to ask for in 2002, but now in 2010 we have the true ninja in tact with all his true power.

The use of 1 sword, 2 swords, back flip kick, hell fire raise, spear with chain, teleport punch, midair throw, and a perfect design. Not to mention a badass Fatality (slice through torso, then neck, kick midsection away, slice head like a melon in half). This is Where Scorpion shines the most, the hell born ninja is at his best.

All I ask is for the return of Toasty!! and you have a COMPLETE Scorpion.

Sub-Zero is WAY MORE developed in the sense he offerers much more then Scorpion. Story wise and character wise. You can't argue facts. He's also more Interesting. We know all about Scorpion, Wants to kill Quan Chi, killed the first Sub-Zero, is a Hell spawn, leader of the Shirai Ryu, vendetta, vendetta, yada yada yada. It's old news now. Sorry to say. Scorpion was more interesting to me in th 90's, why? maybe because I was still a kid and hadn't seen anyone as cool as him. But times have changed. MARVEL & DC COMICS got plenty of SCORPION-esque type characters now. The only thing Scorpion has that I respect is his SPEAR & GET OVER HERE. Other then that.... Just another NINJA... Nuff said. I wasn't always a Scorpion Protester I did like him. But every game he's always favored over everyone. Yea he's the MAIN cheese but it's still not right. I mean look @ DEVIL MAY CRY 4. Nero took over the spotlight for once overshadowing Dante and it wasn't half bad reactions were well received. Just saying.

I believe he means in the technical sense. as in completed move sets and what not.

Well @ any rate. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a MK Fanboy through and through. You can't blame me for being a little disappointed this time around seeing all this Scorpion related Material. Just saying switch it up a bit. Focus on Random characters weekly. My opinion of course.

I think Stryker not being announced yet has me a little distressed. You don't know how Bad I fiend for this Unveiling of him. Getting to me a bit. Need to chill out.

I hear ya Im sick of seeing him too and I concur, bring on some fuggin Stryker.

For everyone wishing for more characters and complaining about all the Scorpion vids, keep this in mind: The game's not coming out for a while, so it seems to me that every character might get the same vids as Mr. Hasashi. So I preach patience.
Alternatively, I could be completely wrong. Oh well, Hanzo's my favorite so it's all good on this end

Actually Vash, that should be tonight. the countdown is supposed to end at 12am #MortalMonday so tonight, and since combat chat isn't opening up they should reveal something else. In fact that's what Sheyla the midway forums Admin said. Considering her contract carries over to the new mk site when the forums are opened up then she should know.

I just stopped playing MK2 for a couple of hours after watching the trailer.

Soundwise again. Khans voice saying You fool or his laugh when u do a nice asskicking plays a big role in the game. That really needs to come back in this game. But i hope its going to be the same Khan voice. and not the new announcer voice. On khans stage. Khan should even standup from he;s chair and say himself like Finish Him/Her!!! They really can do amazing stuff with this game. Gameplay wise: i watched the trailer Frame by Frame. People saying that some air combos are far of reach but still hits'm. Not True: It hits!!! but after the opponent gets the hit, the opponent flips to a motion where the legs are downwards. And that makes it look like its not hitting.

FIX = the motions of getting hit must not flip but "move into" the next motion.


o yeah the jumping punch to, that just looks stupid. Every character does the same. Like if they are wipping with some small weapon to the head. Not like really punching. And the Breaker move is looking the same. They could make the motion of that like its really doing a counter/Parry shit. But noo, instead they do a WAVE WITH THE ARM, whoohoo. FIX IT !! such a beautifull game with these kinda small detailled flaws. Details are important.

Not sure if anyone's noted this yet, but the hellfire gets a "TOASTY!"

I specculated the other week that Scorpion's TOASTY! would be the enhanced version of his Summon Hellfire special. Didn't he have the TOASTY! as just a special move, and an enhanced version as a fatality in MK4?

Also, Isn't the backflip kick seen as an anti-air move? Thus would he have it along side the air throw (making 2 anti-air attacks). If we had to choose between one of them, I would take the backflip anyday, as long as it looked like it did in Deadly Alliance - Armageddon.

I really hope after all these years they can enhance his "Toasty" fatality rather than prolonging his special "hellfire" move and turning it into a fatality. I would like to see a skeleton if possible... I'm not sure exactly how they would do that with the engine, but the body models do have a full skeleton structure. They could have Scorpion blow fire onto the opponent and engulf them completely w/out any of their features being shown (aka they could just be a huge ball of fire and all you can see is the flames) and then the fire dies out and a charred skeleton is left behind. I think it would be very difficult to show melting attire and skin...

I do agree that Toasty was very poorly executed in MKvsDC. I would also like to see a revamp of that Fatality to make it "more" than what it is.

I didn't realize Scorpion was the only character in the game.

Everyone moaning about seeing too much Scorpion is way more annoying than actually seeing too much Scorpion.

If you don't want to see anything about Scorpion ignore all the threads that have his name in the topic title. That way those who are more than happy to talk about him can do so in peace.

The combos look sick but...I'm worried...all it takes is to combo into a spear which looks like it takes no skill to do and then start another combo and repeat.
I hope to fuck he's at least balanced because I can see it now..
.
COMBOSPEARCOMBO break COMBOSPEARCOMBO break COMBOSPEARCOMBO.



It came to my conclusion that Scorpion isn't meant to do combos in that game...
Just be like all the Scorpion players online and do nothing but Teleport Punch spam, Leg Scissors spam, and that one-two kick combo starter he does.

If you can't land these on an unskilled opponent, then something is wrong.

>_>

We should start a petition asking for other characters' material.

how can you expect them to notice a petition when they are busy making 12 more scorpion videos for us?!

Darn kids with your petitions and your facebook campaigns.

We now have a version of this trailer available for download and on our official Youtube page.
