I know im late but i started playing Scorpion a few weeks ago. I use Goro so i'll comment based on that if anyone wants to read. Scorpion has very good neutral control and with Goro his long range low actually becomes super dangerous as you can combo with it. His 214 also becomes a combo with Goro. In all instances you can use Goro to keep yourself safe. Even Spear can be safe if you call Goro and you can actually react call him. Another major thing, you cannot jump against a good Scorpion. His anti-airs are very good and they lead to alot of damage if you spend meter. You can play mind games with his air grab scythe special, once they fall to the ground you can grab, or if they dont respect that thats where his mid comes in as the air grab scythe special puts them as close as possible to you so you can immidiately use the mid to get another combo. You can also do alot of stuff that Avirk talks about, like poke back dash and punish and with Goro you can use the low that way too and to much better effect because of the range. Last but not least, when they are down i tend to use the low but some of them jump forward and the low misses. Thats when Goro comes in, call him on you and he will anti-air and you can connect spear to punish them too. If you use Scorpion as a neutral heavy, patient character that likes to annoy and condition enemies, then Goro helps very well with that and makes Scorpion very dangerous.

Lvl 95 MK11 scorpion main here bro & I’m with you. He sucks this year. No low or overhead starters, his teleport sucks this year, only good for air combos that’s it. All his strings are predictable & duckable. In MK11 every move could be hit confirmed or hell port canceled to keep you safe. This year good luck opening good players up because they’re gonna duck & mash you to death. His hell flame is useless, everyone jumps over & punishes tf outta you. They completely removed his b3 overhead from mk11. Only thing they got right with him this year is making his spear a stun again & giving him an air spear that’s it! Smoke’s cancels & teleport cancels & enhances are what scorpions should’ve been.

Scorpion's gameplan's a bit tough to utilize, the character itself is very easy, though. Johnny's just nuts. Smoke's awesome, but almost everybody is playing him - if you aren't bothered by that you can easily just play Smoke. To be honest no one can really tell you who to main, but no matter what you decide just don't make the mistake of never picking or constantly bouncing between characters without actually learning the game's fundamentals. Choose one and stick with it until you learn the game. After that your perception of characters will change anyways, so if you're not happy with your main you can easily switch.

The hardest thing for scorpion like you said opening someone up because he doesnt have much going for him when u look at all the mixup characters compared to him. Its very unfortunate.

I use Stryker with Scorpion. He's good for giving Scorpion some mix up pressure the problem is that you only get a setup off a hit with Strykers mix ups. So you still have the problem of no good set ups with Scorpion you just get some more damage and the ability to condition a bit. His grenades are good for setting up advances into pressure and extending combos. His handcuffs are essentially a long range capture states but why would you use them when you're using Scorpion. His spear is better than the handcuffs. So there's possibility with Stryker but you're still gonna have to work and pull some big brain stuff.
