## Story

### Rivals

**Name:** Ryu, TBA

**Reason:**

**VS Ryu:** TBA

**Connection:**

**Ryu:** Both Ryu and Scorpion are the two most iconic characters in fighting game history who debuted in 1990's and are considered their games' mascots. Both of them have pyrokinetic abilities (though Ryu only uses this for his Shakunetsu Hadoken move). They even have a palette swap character with different moves who also appeared in their debut games (Ken being Ryu's clone without a headband and Sub-Zero being having a different color on his uniform aside of Scorpion's yellow color).

## Moveset

Scorpion's moveset is imported directly from his home series. This moveset applies to all his Variations.

### Normal Combos

* **Neutral:** Scorpion punches twice with both fists, then does a kick with his left leg. Attacking while in the air, Scorpion does a flying kick.
* **Forward/Backward:** If Scorpion is moving at a moderate pace, he will swipe his sword forwards. If Scorpion is dashing, he will rush forward with afterimages of himself trailing behind while he punches. Attacking while moving forward in the air will make Scorpion do a flying punch. Moving backward and attacking will make Scorpion slash behind him with his sword.
* **Upward:** Scorpion swipes his sword upwards. If using this in the air, Scorpion flips upside down and flip-kicks.
* **Downward:** Scorpion does a low sweep kick, tripping opponents on the ground. While in the air, Scorpion stomps downward with his foot charged with hellfire.

### Smash Attacks

* **Side - Flaming Backflip Kick:** Scorpion performs a backflip kick followed by a trail of fire.
* **Up:** Scorpion does a powerful uppercut which launches the opponent into the air like he did in the games.
* **Down:** Scorpion spins around on the ground with his swords outward, attacking at both sides.

### Special Moves

* **Neutral - Spear:** Scorpion sticks his palm out forward and his spear shoots out forward some 15 feet. If it hits anyone, Scorpion says his trademark "GET OVER HERE!" or "COME HERE!" and reels the (stunned) opponent in for a free hit. if it doesn't hit anyone, the spear will stay suspended for a second and quickly come back. Can be used to get items and for a tether recovery.
* **Back/Forward - Leg Takedown:** Scorpion trips the opponent with a leg scissor takedown. He can deflect projectiles by sliding across the ground before connecting the opponent.
* **Upward - Flameport:** Scorpion disappears in a puff of smoke and then teleports behind the nearest opponent with a flaming uppercut. After he connects a uppercut, Scorpion jumps into the air and slams the opponent into the ground. If there's no opponents close to Scorpion, he simply teleports upwards.
* **Downward - Inner Flames:** Scorpion raises his hands in a curved motion, summoning a column of flame in-front of him on the floor, burning opponents underneath.

### Supers

* **Toasty!!!**: Scorpion removes his mask to reveal a flaming skull for a head and unleashes a big wave of flame from his mouth and eyes that does great damage and knockback. If opponents are KO'd, Dan Forden's head appears and shouts "TOASTY!" before disappearing.
* **The Netherrealm**: Scorpion teleports behind opponents and kicks them in the back, teleporting both him and them to the Netherrealm. He then raises two walls from the ground and launches two spears into opponents and lights them in hellfire. Dragging opponents by his spears, Scorpion then slams them into both walls. Finally, he leaps into the air and slams opponents into the ground, teleporting all of them back to the original stage.

### Taunts

* **Up:** Scorpion pulls out a Scorpion doll with a sign which reads "Buy a Scorpion Doll" before putting them away. Based on his Friendship pose in *Mortal Kombat II*.
* **Side:** Scorpion unsheathes his sword and slices forward with it twice before sheathing it back. Based on his round win animation from *Mortal Kombat (2011)*.
* **Down:** Scorpion faces the screen and puts in hands behind him. Based on his victory pose from *Mortal Kombat II*.

### Animations
