Hawkgirl is MY counter against Scorpion. Not easy, I've managed to do so several times.

Dude, Hawkgirl is your counter against everyone. I don't think your main can be classified as a counter.

I've beaten tons of scorpion players as well and I still say he's a broken fudger. All of the rules and lessons you learned from this game go out the window against Scorpion. He forces you to play his crappy game, which is down blocking, avoiding hellfire and watching out for J3. Everything else is useless.

Most of the time I just cross up his wake up telepunch with air dash J2 into combo(with WW). After they lose 40% on each teleport, they stop using it. However, most online Scorpions don't know the power of J3. A prime example of how online Scoprions aren't a great representation of the character's capabilities.
 
I don't see whats so bad about Scorpion. I tested him out a few days ago and he really unsafe. His teleport can even be punished. Even his 50/50 mix up is punishable. I don't even have to hold down to block. If your reactions are good you can block the incoming teleport. And then full punish afterwards.
 
The problem with Scorpion is you cannot be offensive just strictly defensive and counter and wait to punish his mistakes. You have to play all Scorpions the same whereas other characters you don't have to play exactly the same. Plus Scorpion is harder to punish when you're using Lex Luthor and it takes him 5000 frame startups for all of his normal attacks. Not to mention his 1,1 whiffs over Scorpions head 99% of the time. In conclusion , Scorpion broke this game wide open.

I think being mainly defensive against Scorpion is a bit of a bad idea. Though you do need to react, block, and punish those blocked teleports. I think it best to be up in his face mostly just be careful on his wake up options which are his teleport and the flaming flip kick.
Though I know you are right now Lex Luthor having slow frame start ups on his moves. As I said once before Lex needs some buffs.

I don't think we should call him broken yet. He is getting some nerfs afterall so it will ease your pain you have with Scorpion.
 
Lex needs a backdash buff. It has to be by far the worst in the game. It's incredibly slow. He hops back , clunks down on the ground , gains his footing , and THEN you can block/attack whatever. It can't even be used.

Well, I did try to use GL against Scorpion, but all in vain. With Hawkgirl, whenever he teleports or use the leg takedown, jump early and then use stomp as a counter, although I usually get caught by his flip kick here and there. I use mace charge whenever I need spacing before he goes into his offensive assault. I do agree that his moves are unsafe, but that pressure can still get to you, if you're not careful.

I know because I use him in MK9 (but not in Injustice since I took a self-vow to never use any guest characters in a fighting game (more specifically against other players).
 
Maybe we should do a all-Scorpion Injustice Survivor Match Day? ;)

Too bad I can't kick people from Survivor rooms or I'd do special rules.

That right July 4th not far away and same day as Injustice Survivor. I probably wont be able to make it as im going somewhere for the 4th but if I do make it might not be until 10:30 or 11:00.
 
I think I've finally figured out a semi-decent way to handle Scorpion players. Sometimes I get blown up but for the most part I don't really mind playing him that much anymore. Finally a break through!
 
Might as well postpone this week's Survivor event due to the holiday. Barbeques, fireworks, and the mean ol' red, white and blue flag in which that of America's birthday.
 
Wow I can't beilieve the Wraith actually stays there if Zod gets hit. Omg op

And wtf w/ "Classic" Ares's alternate being Blue..........Injustice Trolls
And well....>Scoprion is surely fixed. .
