SCORPION guide by [ AVirk13 ] | Mortal Kombat 1 

Much thanks to AVirk13 once again, his Scorpion expertise and ability to break down the character is second to none. Also, if anyone is confused, MB stands for Meter Burn, or EX.

Crazy how scorpion *and* sub, the two main posterboys, are both contenders for bottom 5 lmao

This was unbelievably helpful, also just to see inside the mind of a pro player and hear unfiltered opinions. I will come back to this video time and again

scorpion seems super honest compared to his previous versions. i like how his game plan is to shimmy and catch wiff punishes

Really appreciate how in-depth you go with tactics.

I know im late but i started playing Scorpion a few weeks ago. I use Goro so i'll comment based on that if anyone wants to read. Scorpion has very good neutral control and with Goro his long range low actually becomes super dangerous as you can combo with it. His 214 also becomes a combo with Goro. In all instances you can use Goro to keep yourself safe. Even Spear can be safe if you call Goro and you can actually react call him. Another major thing, you cannot jump against a good Scorpion. His anti-airs are very good and they lead to alot of damage if you spend meter. You can play mind games with his air grab scythe special, once they fall to the ground you can grab, or if they dont respect that thats where his mid comes in as the air grab scythe special puts them as close as possible to you so you can immidiately use the mid to get another combo. You can also do alot of stuff that Avirk talks about, like poke back dash and punish and with Goro you can use the low that way too and to much better effect because of the range. Last but not least, when they are down i tend to use the low but some of them jump forward and the low misses. Thats when Goro comes in, call him on you and he will anti-air and you can connect spear to punish them too. If you use Scorpion as a neutral heavy, patient character that likes to annoy and condition enemies, then Goro helps very well with that and makes Scorpion very dangerous.

Thank you so much, DashFight, this guide is really helpful!

What a good guide, i'm a scorpion main and this guide helped me to win online matches. thank you AVirk13, this was very helpful.

Why does he have only 3 strings

I love this channel soo much actually has great breakdowns

Best guide I've seen. Appreciate it, man.

Thank u dashfight for bringing the GOAT to explain

Great guide. Honestly, I think down 4 may prove to be useful. It's plus 15 on hit and safe on block. I think it's a solid tool to low profile high attacks from close range and its plus enough to jail into 21.

Wow what a great video !! Thanks for taking the time to share this 🔥🔥🔥🦂🦂🦂 this will make me a better scorpion 🎮

Avirk is great when it comes to Scorpion. Would love to see Murko's take on a Scorps guide too 😁👌🏽

Great combos! Amplifying special attacks in the air are a bit strict for me but practice makes perfect.

Yes. The guide I was waiting for. Thanks.

Thanks for the guidance🙏🙏🙏

Very well exlpained ! I may improve with those smarts detailed informations :) even being a old timer of MK 😆

Scorpion has to work so hard in this game

This tutorial is MUCH better than the one for baraka. I subbed so I’m hoping u see this comment and do more character tutorials similar to this one rather than the baraka one.

Nice job here dude. I’m a scorpion main so this is nice to see. Did you know that scorpion is in the top 3 in the pro kompition as we speak. With striker. Shits crazy to think the bottom character on every bodies tier list is taking tournaments over top 3 tier characters.

Thank you for the awesome guide, has been super helpful! Where do you acquire the color pallet/skin (dark pants/red top) on the right? I have checked the store, beat seasonal tower, almost done with mastery rewards and have not seen it? Thanks in advance.

Such a simple breakdown and with combos thanks heaps!

They gave scorp such an awful set of strings it’s crazy. Only 21 is viable

i will add this to my shang tsung collection

9:39 whenever I try to do db3 after b2 if forces my character to do db2. Any tips?

Thanks for this! If possible do you have vid on more of Sektor scorpions combos

I've tried back 3 sweep (close range) with scorpion cameo for a luncher it does start a combo, but in a competitive game (with an experienced player?) It'll probably be a hurtful punish you'll more likely use it once as a surprise but hey it's a tool u can use tho...

The best scorpion 🔥

I have been following and learned from you for years brother. Hats off to you and thank you for helping us with your videos. Avirk i completely agree with how his not top tier. I found out how your teleport can be safe with cyrax. As soon as i teleport i hit cyrex F-RB and if he meshes or tries to hit me cyrex spins and take him up in the air it works for me everytime and i get a combo off that. The hardest thing for scorpion like you said opening someone up because he doesnt have much going for him when u look at all the mixup characters compared to him. Its very unfortunate. Have you expressed your issues with NRS about Scorpion? I am very curious to know if you did.??

Idk why Scorpion players aren’t as mad as I am with how basic and quite frankly useless his kit is in this game he needs buffs bad. I don’t mind him being a whiff punish character but some of his buttons either need to be faster or they give him some mids cuz that knee mid isn’t that good when you practically need to be in their face when that’s the one place Scorpion doesn’t want to be

the goat

Ty for the guide! I am just having some issues with timing for meter burn (its way stricter in this game) and also cancelling into the right special. What setting do you have for special input window? (long, mid, short) and do you use negative edge?

I actually really have a problem to amplify scorpions teleport in the air and scorpions like that Kusarigama (that thing on his hip) and could you give me some tips for that

Am I doing these combos wrong the 51% isn’t working for me I hit all the strings I need to hit and got 23 hits like he did but I’m getting like 40%

I've been using Sareena with Scorpion, can anyone tell me if that's a good combo?

As I’ve started to go up in Kombat League I’ve just been losing to characters with mix, low pokes, and armor. It’s hard for me to find my openings and so I lose to characters that mash on me. Also test 21 plus db2 cyrax horizontal spin on a Shao. Shao I’m pretty sure can wake up from that with his armored special move. That knee slam thing. My friend who plays shao has just been getting me with that and I thought it was safe entirely.

Hi. Great guide. How can I special cancel his whip?

how come when i do the foward jump 12 my db2 misses?

I can’t get the jump forward 12 db2 to connect, why???

I miss scorpions moves in mk11, his back 3 overhead, the back 2 that’s hit confirmable & his forward 4 his low. In mk1 he has no lows or overhead starters so it’s hard af to open up great opponents. Got damn it

I could wipe the floor with Avirk!

Why aren't my assist doing what your assist is doing? I get to the point in the air , press the button and he shoots his fire ball way behind the enemy and not below me?

1:30 His down+4 as a poke may suck, but it looks like it might have some applications as an anti-air kick. Not as good as Terminator's in MK11, but it still kicks his leg to a decent height above the floor. 🤔

I wish the jump forward in air string special worked for me. Idk if its because im on PS5 controller but i can only neutral jump into air string with specials otherwise that air port will never work😢 awesome video bruh

Is it still worth to run cyrax after nerf ?? Or is it more worth to run scorp.

Y’all gotta do smoke next

Im having issues getting the timing down for JF 12 into DB2

This is my first time playing MK ever and wish that I could easily do combos like this 😭 I wish I had someone like you to teach me BnB combos or even simple ones that’s good for muscle memory

What's the timing on calling scorpion kameo? Do you press it with the db2 same time? Also is it neutral assist or up or down?

What’s your button set up?

what does MB stand for guys?

Thanks for the guide. Can someone tell me what the timing is from db3 and need I to amplify. Put the inputs fast or delay? That combo is so hard

Whenever I do bf2 to finish off combo it registers as bf4 who knows why this happens 🤔

Would goros grab and throw assist keep people from ducking your highs? As that move grabs crouching opponents

Bro I don’t think my fingers can move like that

Hes one of the few characters that don't have to worry about using upblock on jumpers

any thoughts on meter usage? Which of his specials are worth meter?

Would Stryker be suitable as a kamel as well? He has a quick high and low summon assist. I just have trouble opening up opponents with the little strings he has

What S stands for?

Looks like i gotta play scorpion like how i play liu kang stagger till they open up or grab them😊

What does MB stand for in the notation?

can someone break down the numbers for the combos? like what is db3 mb

What is S4?

Avrick a real one tho

Do one for raiden next please

Who to main? Scorpion, Johnny, or Smoke?

How throw the the flames and dash 💨

Scorpion is by far the most versatile combo character on the game and the most 1 dimensional at the same time lol

What about Kung Lao as a kameo?

4 days later.... now scorpion is considered top tier 🤣

Great assessment of my favorite character. Also, how'd you unlock that palette for player 2?

I wish they woulda gave scorpion like one more kombo string

I hope Dashfight does Shang Tsung

Ashrah when?👀

Scorpion was done so dirty in this game

So can someone tell me what's the difference between air db2 and air bf2?

WHERE ARE OVERHEAD AND LOW STARTER COMBOS

Had To switch up on subzero Shi crazy 😢

I’m debating on playing Lui or scorpion 😂. What would y’all say is better?

For the life of me i cant follow up on the teleport or the air spear

7:43 7:53 8:00 8:10 8:22 8:32 8:45 8:55 9:05 9:20 9:35 10:30 10:40

they took away his sword attacks which makes him worser than mk11 right?

can we get a smoke guide pls

Yea I wish he had his sword i main scorpion in Mortal Kombat 11 but now I mean, subzero in Mortal Kombat one

I wish he had like 2 more strings

how do you get that skin?

What is MB?

li mei guide when

Hi, make video about Sub-Zero, ty.

I miss run cancels

Im kinda butt hurt being here But I saw a dude do a crazy combo to me with scorpion and he said he learned it from here so ill bite my pride and see if I can learn something 😂😂😂😂😂

mk 11 scorpion for the win

Please do Kung Lao

They dismembered him.... Bring back Hanzo Hasashi 😭😭😭

My man needs a 3 hit mid or low string.

I do not get the number 😂

8:32

Scorp and kitana both need an overhead the fact you have to jump in for one makes me sick. Scorp has a kombo that ends with one but it's not very good
