MK Vs Nintendo: Scorpion

## Bio

Originally a human being, Hanzo Hasashi was a ninja of the Japanese Shirai Ryu clan who earned the name Sasori due to his unique ninja abilities. However, his family and clan were murdered by the Lin Kuei in a savage battle. After being killed by the elder Sub-Zero, he was resurrected into a hellspawn by the demonic sorcerer Quan Chi. Scorpion was fueled by revenge and entered the first Mortal Kombat to kill the elder Sub-Zero and succeeded in it. It wasn't then until the younger Sub-Zero showed to have revenge against Scorpion for killing his older brother. Now Scorpion wishes to kill the other Sub-Zero after his defeat in the second tournament. Little does he know that it's Quan Chi who is the true killer of his family and clan.

## Movelist

### Special Moves

* **Spear**: Sending out a rope or metal chain with a tipped Kunai at the end, it impales itself into the victim's chest, allowing Scorpion to pull him or her through the air towards him for a free hit, as well as cause a small bit of damage. This move often follows the words, "GET OVER HERE!" or "COME HERE!" (In *Shaolin Monks*, he —albeit rarely— says profane versions of both phrases). This is Scorpion's famous signature move. In *Shaolin Monks*, the move could be upgraded so as to be used as a whip-like weapon. It was originally believed that Scorpion's spear was actually a snake-like creature spawned from the palm of his hand when really it was a simple kunai, and it was thrown from his belt as seen in newer games such as *Deadly Alliance* and *Deception* (or in the case of *MKvsDCU*launched from a small device on the underside of his gauntlet) it is not the snake-like picture as depicted elsewhere. It is most likely based of a Chinese weapon known as the *Rope Dart/Shéng biāo*, which is known to be very hard to master, let alone use.
	+ In *MKII*, the enhanced version is called **Flame Spear**. Scorpion launches two spears at the same time, both covered in hellfire, and is armoured while launching them. It also executes slightly faster.
	+ In *MKvsSJ*, the enhanced version is called **Double Spear** and makes Scorpion launch two spears at the same time. However, it's not armored like in *MK II*. At the moment the spears hit the enemy, it can be enhanced once again to send a surge of flames down the length of the chains, lighting the opponent on fire and stunning them.
* **Hellfire Punch:** Teleporting behind his opponent, Scorpion connects with a punch called the **Teleport Attack** in *Deception* and *Unchained*; Scorpion gained this attack as a kick instead of a punch, however he regained this attack as a punch in *Armageddon*, whilst the kick form of this attack is given to Chameleon. In *Shaolin Monks*, the move could be upgraded so as to leave behind a burst of fire when he vanishes. He can also perform it in the air. Also, he has a variation without teleport, going forward to the opponent instead of attacking them in their back. In *MK II* and *MKO*, the move is known as **Teleport**. In *MKII:O*, it can be faked by making Scorpion teleport back to the edge of the screen or behind his opponent, but without actually making a hit. Also, he will hit the enemy with a kick if it's performed on the ground or a punch if performed in the air.
	+ Both in *BF* and *MKII:O*, the enhanced version is called **Flameport**, and adds a flaming uppercut after he hits the opponent.
	+ In *MKII*, the uppercut allows Scorpion to juggle the enemy if it hits. Also, as with his normal **Teleport** in this game, he will uppercut the enemy with a second kick if it's performed on the ground or a second punch if it's performed in the air.
* **Leg Takedown:** Scorpion trips his opponent with a leg scissor takedown. In *MKvsDCU*, it is called **Hellish Slide**and Scorpion trips the opponent simply using the slide motion. In *MK II* and *MKO* this move is called **Takedown**.
	+ Both in *BF* and *MKII:O*, the enhanced version is called **Takeout**. It does more damage, grabs the opponent's legs faster and from a greater distance. In *MKII:TA*, it also has armor.
* **Air Throw:** Scorpion throws his opponent to the ground while in the air.

### Finishing Moves

#### Fatalities

* **Toasty!!!:** Scorpion removes his mask, revealing a flaming skull, and he breathes fire onto his opponent, burning him/her to a crispy skeleton.
