SPECIAL MOVES----------------------------------------

Neutral Special – SPEAR - Pressing "B", will cause Scorpion to perform the special move: Spear. Scorpion extends his arm releasing his chained kunai, if it connects with a foe they will receive slight DMG and become impaled with it. Scorpion will then grip the chain on his end and yell: "GET OVER HERE!" or "COME HERE!" and yank the chain causing the foe impaled to be pulled straight to Scorpion who will then deliver a powerful uppercut dealing more DMG and knock back. It should be noted that when using Spear, Scorpion is very vulnerable to attacks as he need to wait to see if the kunai hits it's mark. However once the kunai hits a foe Scorpion will gain super armor and will not flinch or be dealt knock back as he pulls foes towards him. The Spear attack can also be blocked or interrupted by projectiles ending the attack early.
DMG: 4% (Initial hit) 8% (Uppercut) 12% (Total DMG)

Side Special – DEMON DASH - Pressing "B" while also holding "left" or "right" on the directional pad, will cause Scorpion to perform the special move: Demon Dash. Scorpion bursts into flames and dashes forward, if he hits a foe they will take slight DMG and Scorpion will continue to dash past them, causing the foe to stagger and turn around. Facing each other now, Scorpion grabs the foe by the throat and lifts them upward while channeling his body's flames up from his feet into his hand where it explodes dealing DMG and knock back to the foe while also returning Scorpion's body to normal. If no foe is hit, Scorpion will be open to attack for a moment as his body returns to normal. If used in the air and a foe isn't hit, Scorpion will enter a helpless state until he touches a platform.
DMG: 4% (Initial hit) 11% (Flames) 14% (total DMG)

Down Special – INNER FLAMES - Pressing "B" while also holding "down" on the directional pad, will cause Scorpion to perform the special move: Inner Flames. When used, Scorpion will face the camera and throw his head back with a yell causing a burst of flames that race up his body. Close foes will be dealt DMG and knock back by the initial blast of flames. Afterward Scorpion will appear to be on fire, this deals Scorpion no DMG but creates an aura around him that deals racking DMG to close foes, the closer they are the higher the racking DMG will be. After a while the flames will go out and the aura will no longer be in effect. This move is a build up move, meaning that it will last longer the less it's used. Attempting to use this move while it is already in effect will result in another fiery burst but will cut into the time the fiery aura is in effect. when the move is at low build up the initial burst will be significantly weaker and result in no aura.
DMG: 12% (Initial Burst) 1% (Racking DMG per second far) 3% (Racking DMG per second close)

Up Special – NETHER-GATE - Pressing "B" while also holding "up" on the directional pad, will cause Scorpion to perform the special move: Nether-Gate. A swirling red portal opens up beneath Scorpion and he falls through it. A moment later, Scorpion is propelled out of the closing portal in a blast of flames that coat his body. Players can adjust Scorpion's trajectory using the Control Stick after Scorpion enters the Nether-Gate. Scorpion will deal DMG to any foe he collides with by grabbing them and channeling his flames into his fist and tossing them straight down. Regardless of attacking a foe or not, after using Nether-Gate, Scorpion will enter a helpless state until he touches a platform.
DMG: 1%-14% (racking DMG from flames) 5% (Slamming into platform) 19% (Total DMG)

Final Smash – TOASTY! - After Obtaining the Smash Ball and pressing "B", Scorpion performs a fiery kick forward, if it connects the foe be dealt slight DMG and will be flung backwards into a Nether-Gate and a cinematic will play. Scorpion raises his arms and the camera zooms out revealing Scorpion and the foe effected are standing on a thin slice of earth surrounded by lava this is the Netherrealm. As Scorpion's arms go up he summons two large stone walls that erupt and jut upwards out of the ground. The camera cuts back to Scorpion who sends out two kunai's that attach to the foe dealing DMG. Scorpion cracks the chains sending a blast of fire to the foe dealing more DMG, then swings the foe once into each wall again dealing the foe DMG each time they crash into the walls, Scorpion leaps into the air dragging the foe along with him and slams the foe overhead into the ground dealing more DMG. Scorpion finally pulls off his ninja mask and hood to reveal a skull that ignites into flames, fire burns in the skull's eye sockets, he opens his mouth flooding the screen with fire dealing one last blast of DMG to the foe fading the screen to white. We cut back to the stage, the foe is blasted out of the Nether-Gate in a trail of flames. The Nether-Gate closes and Scorpion re-enters fighter stance. (there's a chance that if the foe is KOed a cut out of Dan Forden will appear and he will exclaim: "Toasty!")
DMG: 3% (Initial Hit) 8% (Double Spear Attack) 8% (Fire Blast) 8% (Walls and Ground Slam each) 10% (Racking DMG Toasty!) 53% (Total DMG)

Kirby Hat - When Kirby swallows Scorpion, Kirby will gain a black ninja hood and a yellow ninja mask that resembles Scorpion's while also gaining the Spear Ability- "Get ova hea!".

TAUNTS----------------------------------------

Taunt 1 – Scorpion will raise both hands and say: "I'll show you fire." as his body burst into flames, a skeleton is seen through the flames. Lowering his arms, the flames fade as his flesh and clothes return to normal and he re-enters fighter stance.

Taunt 2 – Scorpion leans forward and extends his arm pointing forward and says: "You will suffer." he then  clenches his fist and retracting his arm to his chest leaving a trail of flames. Then re-enters fighter stance.

Taunt 3 – Scorpion will drop his spear that dangles on a chain by his side then spin it in a circle three times before catching it before it's fourth rotation on his elbow. Retracting it, scorpion says: "The Netherrealm beckons."

VICTORY POSES--------------------------------

Pose 1 - A fist is raised into view, the camera pans out to reveal Scorpion who stares up at his fist. The camera moves downward to show a 3/4 angel of Scorpion who then stares down into the camera until navigating away from the result screen.

Pose 2 - The camera focuses on Scorpion's spear that glows hot, the camera pulls back as Scorpion lashes the chained spear from side to side creating patches of fire, with an overhead spin Scorpion then throws his spear away from the camera before pulling it back and tossing it at the camera- impaling it, Scorpion lets out a: "GET OVER HERE!" and pulls the camera closer to him where it remains until navigating away from the result screen

Pose 3 - Scorpion brings his arms overhead, his fists engulfed in flames. The camera then cuts to an overhead view, Scorpion throws his head back and his arms to his sides and lets out an enraged roar causing a burst of fire to erupt beneath him and his eyes to erupt into fire. The fires fade as Scorpion straightens up and brings his left hand up clenching his fist effectively snuffing out the last bit of flames.

SNAKE'S CODEC FOR SCORPION--------------------------------
CODEC CHANNEL: 140.85

SNAKE: There's a ninja throwing spears around!

COLONEL: That's Scorpion, he was once a human like us. but he, his family and entire clan were exterminated by Sub-Zero: a member of the Lin Kuei.

SNAKE: So, he isn't Human then?

COLONEL: That's right, his spirit was resurrected by the sorcerer Quan Chi. He is fueled by revenge and will stop at nothing to get his vengeance.

SNAKE: Sounds like a scary guy.

COLONEL: Scorpion is well known for his Spear ability enabling him to snatch his foes and pull them through the air to him leaving them open for attack. Be very careful when dealing with Scorpion Snake.

SNAKE: Don't worry Colonel, I eat Scorpions for breakfast.

COLONEL: I... Believe you Snake...

PALUTENA'S GUIDANCE FOR SCORPION--------------------------------

PIT: Woah. This guy is on FIRE!

VIRIDI: Yeah, his skills are pretty formidable.

PIT: No! Like, he's REALLY on FIRE!

PALUTENA: That's Hanzo Hasashi, better known as "Scorpion". Scorpion was once a mortal ninja, but after he was killed he was resurrected as a specter granting him the fiery powers of the Netherrealm.

PIT: The Netherrealm?

VIRIDI: Think... The Underworld, but on fire!

PIT: Yeesh.

PALUTENA: In kombat, Scorpion uses both martial arts and his specter powers but his signature move is called the Spear. When used Scorpion will throw a kunai forward, if it hits you Scorpion will pull in for a close attack.

VIRIDI: GET OVER HERE!

PALUTENA: Exactly. If you get pulled in, you won't be able to escape. You'll really feel Scorpion's sting. However, using the Spear will leave Scorpion wide open, so if you can dodge past his attack you can let him feel your sting Pit!

VIRIDI: And what sting is that?

PIT: The sting of LIGHT!

VIRIDI: ...Rrright.

STAGE------------------------------------

THE PIT

Do heights frighten you? If so, may I recommend avoiding The Pit. Located on Shang Tsung's Island, The Pit, as name would suggest, is a large pit filled with steel spikes waiting to impale any who fall from the narrow bridge suspended high above. The top part of the stage is the bridge, this area is flat and can be walked off of to the left or right sides of the stage. It's from this vantage Players can take in the southern parts of Shang Tsung's Island, at the island's end, a volcano rumbles a warning of activity and closer than that- a second bridge can be seen, two kombatants do battle on the bridge. Though it's hard to make out who these kombatants are, one thing is for sure: one of them is on fire! The biggest eye catcher is of course the bright full moon. Keen eyed Players may catch a glimpse of certain silhouettes that sometimes pass by. As stated above the bridge is suspended over a pit, however this section of the stage is inaccessible by normal means- suddenly a booming voice demands: "FINISH THEM!" at this point, for a short time, Players will gain the ability to knock other Players into the pit by performing any attack that would cause vertical knock back. Players struck by this knock back will be launched slightly into the air but will then be caught by gravity and fall "behind" the stage into the pit below and be dealt DMG as they fall onto the spikes. At the bottom of the pit on the left and right sides are platforms Players can use to make their way back up to the bridge. But wait, you didn't think it would be that easy to escape the pit did you? Shang Tsung grew tired of the number of people who managed to survive the pit and thus employed his body guard: Reptile to roam the lower parts of the pit viciously attacking anyone who dares try to escape the pit. Invisible at first, Reptile will reveal himself to attack Players in an attempt to keep them in the pit racking up more and more DMG- however if a Player manages to jump back up onto the bridge Reptile will cease his attack, becoming invisible again.
