I appreciate that you guys took the time to do this. As a rope dart practitioner, I'd like to give some notes. The way Scorpion uses his "spear" in MK is pretty atypical for a rope dart. He uses it tethered to his lead hand with no slack or tail line, throws underhand, and pulls the opponent in. These aren't really how you use a rope dart. However, in MK11 Scorpion does use a few real rope dart techniques, such as rising elbow twine into reverse elbow shot, and a lead foot shot. If you want to use a rope dart properly, keep in mind that a rope dart is usually not a sharp knife, but rather a pointed weight. A bit like arrow tips for target practice. The length of the rope should be double your arm span or close to it. Optimal length should be measured by tethering to your off hand (called "anchor") the laying across your arms in a T pose. The dart head should either barely touch the floor or swing 1-4 inches about the ground from this position. For a standard "home" position, think of the rope as 3 parts of equal length. The part going from the head to your lead hand is called the lead. From you lead hand to your anchor hand is called the slack. The part held looped in your anchor hand is called the tail. A home position is when you stand with your shoulders squared and the dart swinging either downward (home position 1) or upward (home position 2) at a perpendicular angle to your shoulders. That is known as "wheel plane". To do a rising/underhand shot like you're attempting in the video, spinning the lead upward (home position 2), release at about a 45 degree angle as the dart is rising toward your front and bring you lead and anchor hand together in a point, releasing the slack and tail as it flies. This will ensure that the dart flies straight and will also put your anchor hand in position to cleanly retrieve your shot without scraping the ground if you miss. As for your comments as to whether an overhand shot is valid, it absolutely is for rope dart practitioners and it a more powerful shot overall than the underhand cast. If want more insight on how to dart from a fellow Australian that you may be able to collaborate with, look up Aaron Stanger (Stanger_things_flows on Instagram). He's an excellent dartist and I'm sure you could learn a lot about this from him if that appeals to you.

[@jameshildebrand907]

There is in Chinese martial arts such a weapon. It is usually referred to as "rope dart". It is similar to another form known as "chain whip". Typically the form involves spinning the weapon, using body posturing to 'wind up' the weapon, then a motion to 'fire' it off.

[@xenogorwraithblade2538]

It's all about controlling the tip of the weapon and keeping enough speed so the centrifugal force can impart more energy. Also knowing exactly where and when to allow slack to fling it forward. I made one out of a broken pocket knife and a couple boot laces and spent hours practicing with it. So fun. Probably couldn't actually use it in a fight, but I'm a menace to trees everywhere.

[@MuumiPeikkoX]

When you throw an object attached to a rope, you should throw the rope with the object. That way the mass of the rope won't drag down the object. Loop most of the length of the rope in your hand so that you can still grasp the object and leave enough slack so you won't tug your other hand when you throw the bundle. The rope will then uncoil as it flies and let the object fly without pulling the rope from the gound.

[@castle6660]

Yeah don't listen to this guy LOL you do not wrap the majority of the Rope around your wrist and it will uncoil as you throw it... Not gonna work. You leave the Rope hanging... One end is tied to your wrist... The other end is in your hand spinning the rope with maybe 3 feet of rope and the dart being swung with your right hand... The rest of the Rope should be hanging with plenty of Slack.

At least you didn't mention the first movie's spear where Scorpion launches what looks like a mutant bird from the palm of his hand instead of a kunai which can track the target.

[@Medievalshields]

Hi shad I love your videos so much keep up the good work

[@shiro4833]

I will also say, you should look at the different kunai versions in Mortal Kombat 11, there are some that have hooks. That's gonna help pulling someone closer. Also, the scorpion throw kinda works, works really well on short distances, but over long distances, swirling it on the rope like shad works way better, builds up way more energy, but the problem was that shad obviously didn't hit with the point. To fix that, you can crack it back almost like a whip, that will pull on the back end up and back, so the point is aimed pretty much towards the target at the cost of a little bit of energy. Trust me, I've tried. It also helps if you wear bracers or armbands and attach the rope to the bracer, because you will inevitably at some point lose focus and drop the rope.

[@Amokra]

now if you watch it they are more missile like than thrown

1:26 It was actually a rope in the first three titles (MK1 to 3).

In Deadly Alliance (MK5), Deception (MK6), Armageddon (MK7) and vs DC Universe (MK8), it goes back being a brown rope (but almost grey in vs DC Universe). It is only in the Mortal Kombat of 2011 (MK9) onwards that it is clearly a chain. 4:39 Fatality

[@FuknKms]

If im not mistaken all Ninja/Shinobi weapons were originally tools, and the only reason they were used by them was because real weapons were banned at that time. Could be wrong, though.

[@kikixchannel]

@@FuknKms It's true that 'weapons' were banned (for non-samurai) at some point in Japan's history when ninja did exist. It is true that many weapons used during those times were simply tools repurposed into weaponry. But hey, seriously? Did any ban ever really succeed at what it was intended properly? There are always people that would go against the law. That being said, ninja's weren't really much of a fighter. They were first and foremost spies, secondarily, assassins. Things that are considered 'weapons' of the ninja were often really just 'tools'. Shurikens? Not weapons at all. Distraction tools, nuisance to irritate, but not meant for damage. Caltrops? Obviously purely deterrent. No one sane would assume the enemy would just run into them. Kunai? Its use closest to a 'weapon' was assassination. Throwing a kunai was mostly done not to attack but as a tool, for example to throw a rope over a branch etc (not to say that it cannot be thrown to hurt, of course, since it can, just that ninja's weren't really doing it if they could avoid it).

[@swytchyglytch]

I hope you'll do a follow-up video to this where rather than testing a fictional version you try out the real-life inspiration. Rope darts are a real thing and you can find YT videos showing you everything about how to use them from stances to planes and spin to trick shots. If you want to try this one again, Karate Mart has a scorpion-inspired chain dart, and rope dart academy has silk darts, but those are for practice, most often used by those that practice the dance version of rope dart but also useful for practicing before using a martial arts rope dart. It should be said, though, that a rope would never be attached to the top of a spear like that to make a rope dart. 😛

What I am noticing with Tyranth's throws is a very consistent, smooth motion, where the point sort of gently scoops upwards. I would say if he were aiming for a target above him, accuracy would improve dramatically.

[@obeastness]

I think a major aspect of the weapon that you guys are missing is having a weapon with the portability of a dagger, and the length of a spear. The main drawback of the weapon is how challenging it is to use rather than how effective it is. I hope you guys will check out the video that Kuma FIlms did to see the truth of this weapon. I think you would rethink your rating if he was with you guys doing the same challenge. Can you pull someone, If they grab the rope, yes you can, it's not an even tug of war, they have a knife in them.

[@timevalentime1806]

If they catch the chain and close in you're screwed. Yeah you can try pulling in, but at that point they can also do the same thing. The difference being that the Kunai is on their side of the chain and they presumably have their own weapon in their main hand. A weapon like this is only really does well in grappling range and long range. The main drawback is missing. Hypothetically if you magically had 100% accuracy that would be better, but at that point you could give that advantage to any thrown weapon.

[@obeastness]

@@timevalentime1806 When I say you can pull an opponent who grabs the rope, I am only referring to someone you have hit and stuck the blade inside them. An expert is capable of returning the dart back to themselves as fast as they can toss it, and they will always be deceptive in how they toss it. Catching it while not outside of human capability, is incredibly unlikely and a poor choice.

[@timevalentime1806]

I wasn't countering your point about pulling in after hitting the target. You're talking about a master throwing it, but if we were to have an opponent with equal skill they'd be able to react to that. Really they don't even need to catch it. All they'd have to do is run in the moment they see that the attack isn't going to hit them. Let's give the guy with the Kunai the benefit of the doubt and say that he's fast enough to not only pull it back before the oppent reaches him, but also get back into a defensive stance (I'm assuming that he'd do this instead of trying to make the Kunai hit the person on the way back because that really wouldn't do much damage and he'd be screwed. If you do want further elaboration on why just ask). At this point the opponent would be at striking range. Now the likelihood of survival depends on what weapon the opponent has. If they have a sword, the Kunai person is fucked since they'd be far enough for the kunai to be at a disadvantage while close enough that trying to throw would be a terrible idea. If they have a spear maybe you could argue that the person with the Kunai could try and back up to reset, but people move significantly faster forward than they do backward, so that's not really a good idea. The person's best chance at that point is closing in since their Kunai would have the advantage in close range against a spear. Actually they probably would have a good shot against a spear since they could hypothetically try to bind it with their chain and close in. At that point the person with the spear would be at a severe disadvantage. Yeah a spear is probably one of the more plausible weapons to go against since the kunai can be thrown out of reach of the spear while still having the advantage in close range.

Spin a kunai on the rope a few rotations, then release at end of a rotation,let the rope slide rather than throwing the dart. Have the rope secured by a loop to your wrist.

[@mitchelltravis1187]

The reason the chain matters is mass! Effectively you need to be able to throw the 'weight'(head) with enough force to carry itself AND pull the chain. I made a LARP version with a weighted foam head but the head/chain weight ratio means the static mass of the rope itself SIGNIFICANTLY slows down the projectile and it depletes speed immediately. I haven't done any -real- science but I guestimate the head probably has to have about 2x the mass of the 'rope'.

Scorpion had a device in the original with his arm, where the kunai with chain was launch like a bolt from a crossbow increasing its speed and momentum. Then he pulls the chain at a reversed angle to it is wedged into the opponent its chest, being able to easily pull them in closer. I have to be honest Scorpion (Bi Han) his skill is based off the Shinobi Kunai with Chain mostly used to climb steep locations undetected, by launching it with a mini crossbow launcher with were attached to the lower wrist cuffs.

[@bookman7409]

I think the "get over here!" thing's possible if the weapon has hinged blades that deploy when they're inside the target and it's yanked backward. The trick would be getting enough penetration that the barbs/blades, as in the sharp side edges, would be deep enough for them to deploy. There are passive and active ways to get them to deploy when pulled, but they'd need some testing and tinkering to see which is the most practicable. Of course, this is all in my head, but we are talking about video game physics, after all.

[@neverson42]

Throw from the rope, not the kunai. I used to have a big nail tied to a string that I would play with as a kid. Essentially the same thing but scaled down. if you spin is around on about 18" of string then launch it, it sticks in every time. With force! Fairly accurate too once you get the hang of it.

[@juanmegar]

The tests are cool but the best part is watching friends roast each other lol.

[@Kiljaedenas]

One key nerd-ism to consider, I believe within the lore of the game that rope of Scorpion's is a symbiotic living entity, not just a plain dagger on a chain. It is able to adjust its own speed and angle/direction mid flight, so you'd have a hard time emulating that.
