Well I think I know what you’re getting at, it does seem like Scorpion’s design has become more and more elaborate over time. I love the way he’s looking for MK9 though. I think NRS have really done an awesome job incorporating his theme into his appearance. His mask resembles the thorax and legs of a scorpion which I think is awesome. It’s a progression from the design of his mask in MKvsDC, which to me looked more like a face hugger from Aliens. Still cool though.
Anyways, to me it feels like NRS have done justice to the design of my favourite character. I particularly like the detail of the black portions of his outfit, reminiscent of an exoskeleton (again, like that of an actual Scorpion). The chain for his spear move is also an awesome improvement IMO. Great job, NRS. MK9 Scorpion is everything a hell-spawned ninja spectre should be. I just hope that when he removes that mask, his flaming skull is more badass than ever and not a disappointment.
