Hands down, Scorpion has always been my favorite character. Unfortunately, I am compelled to mention that Scorpion was not a playable character in the original iteration of Mortal Kombat III. However, due to fan outrage, Scorpion was returned to the series in Ultimate Mortal Kombat III. Of course, since then Scorpion has been a playable character.
I remember that stupidity. Both Scorpion and Johnny Cage were removed as playable characters. Johnny, in the original MKIII, having been killed. (Just as he is immediately killed in the movie Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.)
In the original Mortal Kombat game Scorpion was my favourite character and in MK2 as well (though I did play as Baraka a lot too) and when I got MK3 for my SNES the game just didn’t seen right without Scorpion. I got UMK3 for my SNES the following year and the console versions had more characters than the arcade version with Noob Saibot (who became my favourite playable character as Shao Kahn was my favourite), Rain, Ermac, Human Smoke and Ninja Sub-Zero (if you remember Sub-Zero lost his traditional ninja outfit when he left the Lin Kuei) all added. And Noob Saibot is my 2nd favourite character after Shao Kahn with Rain my 3rd, Ermac my 4th favourite and Human Smoke being my top 10(didn’t like Cyber Smoke/Sub-Zero, don’t mind Sektor & Cyrax as Cyber Ninjas as they were introduced to us as Cyber Ninjas, though it was nice to see them as humans in MK9). Funny how the characters introduced as playable characters in UMK3 would go on to be my favourite characters some 27yrs later after I got the game. But for a Mortal Kombat game not to have Scorpion is like it not having Sub-Zero & Raiden who have appeared in every game
@@nichhodge8503 I'd have to say that MKII is still my all-time favorite chapter of the series. One of the most prominent reasons being that as Shang-Tsung, you could morph into all the other playable characters. I used to get very creative with that ability. My favorite "trick" to do was what I like to call "Melting the Ice," i.e., when it came time to do a fatality (as Shang-Tsung) I'd morph into, or already be, Sub-Zero and start with his "deep-freeze" which he could keep repeating until he morphed back to Shang-Tsung, then I'd have him morph into Scorpion and do his "Skull-Torch" fatality while the opponent was still in ice form. Timing had to be quick, but fortunately Scorpion's Skull-Torch could be done anywhere on the screen (if you knew the correct fatality code.)
Scorpion is always been my favorite. I was signed him by a group of friends who were playing mortal Kombat in real life and had no idea who he was at the time. When I finally linked two and two together it blew my mind. He's been my favorite character since I was about three. Been playing it as long as I can remember I am 27. It was one of my first games on Nintendo.
Your parents bought you Mortal Kombat on the SNES when you were 3/4yrs old? Ok the original Mortal Kombat game on the SNES had no blood and some of the fatalities were changed like Sub-Zero’s head grab which has your spine still attached (my favourite fatality from the original game) though every Mortal Kombat game After did have all the blood and correct fatalities
he is SCORPION , they should have just made the movie with out Cole , kept the lady and child , and have Scorpion coming to save his blood line watching from hell as Sub Zero is trying to kill his blood line so no champion from his line will arise.
Scorpion is one awesome character. I’ve just recently played injustice gods among us for the first time, and as a special playable character, he doesn’t disappoint. 👍.
Nah Scorpions a ninja who's family and clan were killed back for revenge. GR is a stunt driver who made a deal with a demon to come back. Entirely different backstories...Captain America however is Marvel's Shield 🛡
I know that being the vengeful spectre is what makes his character shine, but am I the only one who wish they'd give him some slack in the new era/timeline? Kinda want the Shirai-Ryu to be alive and aid in defending Earthrealm together with the Lin Kuei. As to how could he have his spectral powers, God Fire Liu Kang could just grant him with fiery abilities. But we'll see, I just want them to take his character into a different direction. My guy can't all be about vengeance and rage, I actually like Grandmaster Hanzo's character in MK11 as He was wise and experienced.
Sub-zero will always be my number 1 ninja warrior in mortal kombat, but Scorpion is a strong runner up in that number 1 spot, especially in the first Injustice game where scorpion goes full on beast mode on Superman not one but twice if you include DC Vs MK.
I always thought the first movie of the mortal kombat reboot should have been solely focused on the scorpion/subzero backstop. Then they could have done a special forces movie with the black dragon clan, then a shaolin movie with outworld invading then the final movie would be the balls out tournament with people dieing left and right.
Man bro when scorpion and Sub-Zero teamed up I lost my s*** I was like holy f*** I got to get that game and got it the same day I ended up seeing it on a commercial I just had to buy it
He’s my favorite character in MK since the movie which I love but is terrible back I believe in the 90s which had a weird creature coming out of his hands instead of the iconic kunai. That movie introduced me to the games and begged my dad for MK2. Been playing as him ever since. 2nd only to him is probably liu kang & Raiden/Johnny Cage.
@@harveylong5878 You might want to open a book sometime! Revenants are spectres that are resurrected to avenge their deaths or the deaths of their loved ones!
Certain things in MK are meant to happen whether by Liu Kang's will or not. Like Kitana and Mileena eventually clashing, Sub Zero becoming Noob Saibot, etc.
Your information is a little inaccurate Scorpion never killed the younger Sub-Zero, he was about to kill him until Quan Chi told him it was himself that killed his family, then when he was about to use his spell to send scorpion to the other room scorpion rushed at him and both of them ended up in the netherrealm this was scorpions canonical ending in Mortal Kombat 4 leading to the events of Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance😌
Scorpion never killed the younger subzero, he was about to when Quan chi revealed that it was himself that killed his clan a framed the lin kuei for the murder of his clan where at that moment Scorpion traps Quan chi in the netherealm to torture him.
If you're going to do these videos, please get the story right. Scorpion did not kill the younger Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat 4. Scorpion beat the younger Sub-Zero but did not kill him.
Yeah they tend to mess up things on MK vids I've noticed lol. The old timeline that is correct and once Scorp found out the truth, he vowed to protect the second younger Sub-Zero. New timeline, Sub-Zero beat Scorpion a few times however.
@@MKF30 I do remember Kuai beating Scorpion in the tournament in MK9, but that is the only time I remember Sub Zero beating Scorpion in the new timeline. Do correct me if I am wrong.
@@ronshi2973 He beat him scorp in the second tournament but kuai Liang also beat scorp in the tie in MkX comics, that fight was long and had 2 parts sub that time was possessed by a corrupted blood magic kamidogu havik was using. It had amped sub zero alot he froze an entire city so he beat scorp pretty swiftly then Sub shook it off and went back to normal but by that time Scorpion had fully taken over Hanzo and he just attacked Sub-Zero without questions. Sub was puzzled when he snapped out of it seeing the whole city frozen along with Scorpion inside a huge block of ice before he busted out then impaled Sub-Zero but Kuai Liang by that point wasn't trying to fight Scorpion but trying to explain to him what happened with their past, quan chi and such but Scorp wasn't listening just attacking by that point. To put it bluntly they've kicked each others ass but some would argue they're equally matched and both more powerful than Bi Han.
@@MKF30 Oh yea true. Even though I do remember Scorpion beating Kuai in MK11 (I don’t consider Hanzo beating Kuai in MKX important since Kuai wanted to calm Hanzo down) I still do consider them as equals. Incredible warriors who are near unstopabble when united and only plot armor can really fully stop them. I’m a Scorpion (Hanzo) fan but I like Kuai Liang just as much.
@@ronshi2973 Yeah overall I'd consider them equal personally they can beat each other. Yeah that comics fight Scorpion kind of sucked stabbed him since he was just blocking attacks while trying to talk prior to that part Kuai Liang technically beat Hanzo already but yeah lol it was a crazy fight that lasted several pages. The MkX comics if you don't know are tie in that filled the gap between MK9 and MKX events that 25 years later what happend with everyone was pretty good. Yeah same. It's funny how the new timeline Kuai Liang is Scorpion lol which I've noticed has mixed feedback from fans some love that others hate it but the good news is Smokes ending confirmed Hanzo does exist hes younger and taken in by the Shirai Ryu under Smoke and Kuai Liangs training. Perhaps he'll become the next Scorpion taking the mantle from Kuai Liang? I kind of want that to happen age him up in the next game he's scorpion then kuai Liang gets ice powers some how to replace Bi Han who will die and become Noob lol.
