Tips on beating Shao Kahn

[The 7th Number]

I need help with beating SK with hadicapped scorpion. Whenever he throws his spear he is too slow to move before Kahn blasts me. I tried just about everything and all his moves do minimum damage at best. I dont see how you can beat him, his long range moves suck, short range moves dont do much except put me in danger, and the only medium move that works is the 3 second spinaroonie that cant be done. I cant even get to the 2nd half of Kahn!


EDIT
I beat him.....by only using Kintaro's skull.... took long but it worked.
