Injustice Scorpion Trailer

Curious: How many of you guys against Scorpion, wouldn't have been if he was already on the main roster as an unlock? (say for beating "Impossible" or 50+ consecutive wins online)

I don't mind that Scorpion is there being the company logo and whatnot on top of having been redesigned by Jim Lee, but the only problem is your basically paying for a port from MK9 aside from the obvious few and new additions.
 
DCP if you think no one wants Scorpion then please jump off a bridge. haha ;) Tons of people will want him. Especially the casual crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the top selling character. Just how Freddy was in MK9.

Honestly, I hate a hate/love relationship with Scorpion being in Injustice. I don't like how he is mostly a lazy port into the game. I was hoping he would have a really different playstyle. It's basically the same move set as MK9 with a little thing here or there. Pretty lazy. Also even his trait is lazy if that's all it does is boost power. The first idea I had for his trait was what they have him with. But what will his normal spear do? If you notice, he meter burns his spear both times and it acts how it does in MK. Maybe without MB it will just pull you in and be hit, like Lobo.
 
I'm loving this design for Scorpion and I'm really glad they didn't just copy and paste his look from MK9. His super is a little meh but so are some of the existing supers (ie: Wonder Woman) but overall it looks cool.

Also, Black Lantern Superman is awesome. You have to take in the fact that Superman and Batman are the 2 most popular characters in the game and they will pay more attention to them more than anybody. So, a lot of skins will be made for their characters. If y'all don't like it, that's fine. I like extra salt with my meals.

Edit : and everyone saying that NRS got lazy need to step back a moment. Was it lazy to have the same move set from MK1 to MK3? Was it lasy to basically have the same move set from Street Fighter 2 to the present SF games? Y'all don't seem to complain about them.
 
There is a big difference between having basically the same moveset, and having a couple signature specials. Basically all of his normals are copy/pasted from MK9. There are only two new ones that I noticed.
 
His design looks cool but kinda looks a little too similar to Noob Saibot with some yellow armor. Kinda disappointed he has pretty much an identical move set too. Was really hoping he would play completely different but I'll still have fun with him. With that said, if you did buy the season pass and are mad, you really do only have yourself to blame. I got it and never use Lobo or Bat girl. I regret getting it but that's my fault for taking that risk.

And what's the problem?

HOLY SHIT! SKERPWN SWANG SWERD TO LEFT IMSTEAD OF RAGHT!



Normals don't matter because they don't define the characters in NRS games. So long as he has an uppercut and a sweep, it's Scorpion. Aesthetically, he's the best character in Injustice.
 
Finially hada chance to watch it, not impressed with what I saw, great costume, great intro and win pose and everything else was just ok for me personally. Ill look at him as my "free" guy, ill give him a fair shake but not as wowed as I was with Lobo or Batgirl.

I am curious to hear what they do with Zod, push him back to the season 2 DLC or will he still be announced at E3 as the 4th character, do they scrap him totally or do a Man of Steel set of DL characters.
 
Loving Scorpion and 2nd main right there. Didn't really like the 1st 2 DLC characters but this is a must buy for me since im a huge MK fan and Scorpion is one of my favorite MK characters.

The problem is that they are putting out a pretty much identical character as in MK9 and getting money for it. I would much rather have a new experience with him, You nor anyone else can deny that it would be good to have a lot of fresh stuff for him. Most of your posts lately are just to fk with people, stop it.

Just because they look similar doesn't mean their execution will be the same.

Different frame data,

different hit stun effects,

different gravity,

with a b3, f3, and interactables will make all his combo potential different.

a possibly slightly more useful teleport considering it's back to block.

slower B2, and slower moves tend to mean safer.

I mean I already saw him combo TELEPORT of a grounded 1,1,1(his old string)

in MK9, that teleport would've been blockable, but not anymore.

he can now combo off his uppercut.



he's not just a port over.

You're completely missing the point for sake of arguing about a game that you don't even give a shit about. Point? none

No, your point is pointless.

Because even if the MOVEMENT is the same, doesn't mean all his moves are exactly the same.

You can't until you get the character and try it yourself, if everything works exactly the same... which I already saw MAJOR differences. why do you care?


you're the one complaining just to complain, because all you seem to be worried about is asthetics, when if all his moves are different, he WILL be a fresh experience.


remember his 2,1,2? what if it's safe now but his slide isn't? we don't know yet but that would change ALOT.

how if all these changes come to fruitation, he's not a fresh learning experience?

Your the one close minded here, and despite your rage, I said I don't find Injustice that fun, not enough to go to tournaments for and train hours a day for. But I wouldn't say I don't "care".

Instead if disputing my points, you just said "I missed the point."

the only way I missed the point is if you were talking about "lazy asthetics" and if you care about that... well man your worried about all the wrong things.
 
Get your salty booty some bandaids.

What does it matter what way he swings his foot or throws a punch? He has a new look, win pose, victory animation and throw. Everything that mattered, they changed. If he had his same old look, Vengeance will be mine and Nether drop pose then I'd call them lazy. But they really did some creative shit with him.


Especially his throw. It's a nod to his Trilogy fatality where he was able to summon a skeleton to kill you.

My posts have been like that since my join date.
 
No, I don't tend to argue with people (especially over video games) because no matter way you say they will always think they are right, so it's whatever.

You CLEARLY stated "pretty much identical character as in MK9"

and that you would "rather have a new experience with him."

have you ever played a game where they had a clone character where they changed frame data and just a couple of moves, but all the movement was the same?

have you ever played smash brothers Melee?

Ganondorf asthetically was a clone of Captain Falcon. He took all of his "moves" and they "LOOK" the same.

but the PROPERTIES of the move are so LARGELY different, that they play absolutely NOTHING alike. Same goes for Marth/Roy Mario/Doctor Mario, Link/Young Link.

you can't jump from marth to roy and know wtf you're doing. You have to re-learn the character


aka FRESH EXPERIENCE.


now I'm not saying 100% they changed his data enough to make him feel drastically different. But he will be different. You jumped to conclusions about a trailer reveal.
 
Who cares even if it all's the same? You don't have to buy him. Even if you got the season pass all you have to do is uninstall him.
