@@gamerdudepunkEh, Scorpion has no mixups and no overhead. He’s alright but he’s not amazing

[@abdullahharoon253]

@@gamerdudepunk scorpion kameo is very good but the character scorpion? He's like b tier, high potential for damage but you can duck many of his strings and his mid launch is slower compared to other characters in the game. He's definitely not as bad as he used to be in mk11 but definitely not the best.
