Yes, yet another thread on classic moves. This one concerns Scorpions Scissor Leg Takedown move which I really enjoyed in MKII. Once again, it was a great and useful move that I hope will be included in MKA.

While I'm on the subject of Scorpion. It would also be nice to see his flame breath move from MK4 make a return. This move not only suited the hell spectre, but it looked damn kool as well.

Just my thoughts...
 
Yeah I forgot about the scissor takedown, I used to use it a lot. Also the decoy teleport punch towards the opponent instead of away, that was a favourite of mine in MK Trilogy

Yep, I was going to make another thread on that very move. But you beat me to it, dude :lol:

What I personally like about that move was it could be incorporated into a very elaborate combo.

EX: (start this combo about mid screen )

Jump Kick, Teleport Punch, Decoy Teleport Punch, Harpoon, then any combo of your choice to finish off your enemy. My best is HP, HP, HK, back + HK, then you can add a sweep to end the combo. But only if you start at the right point. This gets you about 9 hits & 54% damage.
 
Personally I would prefer to see Sektor get HIS flamethrower as a special more than Scorpion, his flame backflip and hellfire are good enough to make up for it. As for the Scissor Takedown I always thought that was the best and most unexpected move in MKII, idk where it went in MK3. Scorp has always had a sort of lack of special moves compared to some characters. The scissor takedown NEEDS to return. I'm surprised they didn't put it in MK:SM actually.
 
They did. They also had Sub Zero's ice grenade as a projectile attack. You do the scissor takedown at the end of a combo.
 
ive never seen or heard of this Scissor Takedown move. any animations people can show me? i wish they would REALLY bring back SubZero's spinerip. I havent seen it since, like, MK1. or was it 2?

Wow. Just off the top of my head it was in MK4, MK:DA, and MK:D

:roll:

and Sektor never had a flamethrower Special, we're talking about Special Moves not Fatalities
 
Scorpions MK4 Toasty special attack really sucked though for the most part. XP. If they do it better be improved on how it works.


Although I do agree with the MK2 special it rocked. Also Scorpion's main fatality chain is related to Toasty/etc. Fatalities, thus it wasn't fair that Sektor didn't recieve his fair end. I think he should also get a flamethrower move.


Sub-Zero in MK:D didn't have the Spine Rip fatality, just the Touch-Down fatality, and the Freeze legs, destroy and kill one LMAO.
 
Ah yes...I remember that takedown at the end of Scorpion's combo now...thanks for refreshing my memory. And I was merely suggesting that you give the flamethrower style move to Sektor (who we know has a flamethrower FROM his fatality) simply because Scorpion just doesn't need it anymore with all the new moves he's been given.

It kind of worked like a foot sweep. He'd hit the ground, stick his legs up like a pair of scissors, and then sort of scissor his opponent to the ground.

Here's what he looked like when he started out:

And here's what he looked like when he was in the process of tripping 'em to the ground:

Pretend both of those are facing the same direction.

Anyway, I would like to see them bring back that move, as well as a lot of the other classic moves. Since they're trying to bring back some of that 2D feel for this game, it would make a ton of sense to bring back those 2D moves as well.
