Board 8 > Do you like this character? Day 1213: Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)

(+) Yeah! (+)

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SUBMIT A USER-SELECT POLL!
Simply PM me a list of 10 characters you would like to see featured on the poll (please check the wiki page to make sure none of them have been done before!). The only requirement is that all 10 characters must be fictional characters that have never been featured on DYLTC - your list may have as much or as little variety in source/character type as you desire. You may make changes to your list via PM anytime up until the topic before your poll is featured (so if your list is to be featured on Day 1180 to select the character for Day 1181, you have until I post the topic for Day 1179 to make changes). If a character on your list wins a poll between now and the time it is featured, I will contact you regarding a replacement. There are currently 10 lists on-deck. Once that number drops below 10, I will cut off submissions.

Rules
Just post yes or no for whether or not you like the character in question. It can be for any reason. You're welcome (and encouraged!) to give an explanation, but none is required.
No alts, obviously.
Topic generally lasts for 24 hours, but may go on longer if the new one is not up yet.
If you don't know the character in any way, please don't vote. Please also clearly state if it's a Yes or No vote. Neutral = No.
For characters with multiple versions/adaptations, you may use your own criteria (favorite, average, etc)
Nominations are welcome!
Any help keeping this bumped is appreciated.

No

Yes, just dumb revenge fun. No matter how much characterization he gets, his dumb revenge boner keeps getting in the way. I love it.
---

Yes.

Best MK ninja.
---

yes

I like him more in the later games, but in the original trilogy it was all Sub-Zero
---

Hell yes
---

BIG YES!

Mortal Kombat 2 on the Sega Genesis was one of my earliest memories of me playing video games back in the mid 90's and so was playing with the mighty Scorpion hearing him say "Get over here" with his iconic spear pull which always seemed to freak me out at first and even more whenever I saw him take off his ninja mask concealing his real identity all along ...a skull!!!

I've always liked the ninjas and I gotta say Scorpion is one if not the most bad azz of them all aside from Sub-Zero.

More than most
---

More than Sub-Zero I think, even if Sub would 60-40 him. 2002 and 2007 helped Scorp lots.
---

Well, I'm pretty sure Scorpion has no wins outside of those two contests, so it's probably pretty close.

Actually, I think he did win one round in 2008, too.
---

Nah
---

Well, let's do the math

Scorpion:
3 wins in 2002
2 wins in 2007 (one 2nd place finish)
1 win in 2008

Sub-Zero:
1 win in 2006
2 wins in 2007 (both 2nd place finishes)
1 win in 2008 (2nd place finish)
2 wins in 2010
1 win in 2013
2 wins in 2018

So that's 6 for Scorpion and 9 for Sub-Zero. Subby still edges him out by 1 (6-5) even if you discount 2nd place finishes.

GET OVER HERE.

Yes!

Interesting that Subby got more wins than Scorp despite Scorp's success in 2002. I don't think Subby's that much stronger than Scorp, so Sub-Zero's clearly had luckier draws outside of 2002.
---

I'd love for Scorpion to be close to as strong as Sub-Zero but honestly it's always looked like Sub-Zero is significantly stronger, even in the favorite MK character polls really.
---

Of course.
---

Yes

Scorpion is awesome but Hanzo Hasashi is the best in the series.

Sub-Zero has always been clearly stronger than Scorpion. I don't know why people still think they're essentially equal or pretty close.
---

Yes. He's a classic
