One tip I picked up on from watching you is baiting the spear reaction with stand 2, since the animations for stand 2 and spear are incredibly similar it works great
Extra tips not included in the video: - If you are going for a jump kick, always input spear after the jump kick because it will only come out on hit. If the opponent blocks the kick the spear won’t come out. When you have the opponent cornered: using short hop mix ups is great. You can short hop attack, short hop into grab, or short hop into the low.
I feel like this is a good instructional video because you definitely get a lot of new people on the channel that want to learn more about scorpion. Nice video man, ready for road to rank 1!
The stars are aligning. I literally just bought this game and thought to myself that scorpion would be a fun character to learn lol. Now it *has* to happen! You showed me some really really cool stuff!
Love it! I was critical previously of doing a spear after falling ashes KB instead of doing a teleport. I tried the spear after falling ashes KB and see your point. I am trying to get a timing down and have not gotten very consistent yet.
I just bought mk11 for the ps for $5 maybe a couple weeks ago or so. Im glad I found this video/channel because scorpion is my main since the first mk. Great tips, easy to follow. Thanks for this 🙏🏼
Awesome video Also where is tag team combo video diff ? You said it's one of your best videos and you make a short of it as well but you still didn't upload it
Just thought I'd mention, there's a better combo than the 47% Diff shows. You can replace the forward 3 into spear, with stand 4 into spear, it does 49%.
You did mention the F3 against jumpers! But also there are times when B1 can reach a random neutral jump and F3 cannot. So instead of B1,4(we know that wiffs), I do B1 TP confirm, so I dont miss an opportunity where F3 doesnt reach
Back 141 is only good with misery blade once they’re conditioned to the misery blade stance after the downward sword strike. but still very unsafe and not worth it. I’m trying to break that beginner habit still 2000+ matches in
Diff I have a question. How do I create distance from the opponent after forward 4,2 I know how to get behind them but not create distance. Could u pls reply on telling me how to do it?
Arguably he's much easier in mk11, plus he's got some of the best tools in-game (mid command grab, dot damage, unblockable setup, totems, tick throws, d3 spam etc)
Diff u missed something with sin blade, after teleport sin blade u can restand the opponent, after sin blade F3 and B14 (if it combos u get a swaggy combo, if it doesn’t the opponent will want to punish you and won’t block, making the 2nd hit of the string hit them and either u can end it with spear for like 10% non scaled damage or u can start another combo if u have another bar to amplify teleport, if u restand once u get more than 50% damage (25 ish per combo)
For me , i have much better things to do then to learn all the bullshit they added to fighting games..if you can support your life with this..good luck and don't ever have kids!
Wouldn’t say it’s a “complete” guide, more for intermediate skill players to fine tune their game with safest options. Very good strategy advice though. Love your videos. I would have liked to hear or see what combo inputs are being pressed here though, not just “look at this combo” as an instructional video.
I am positively surprised that many like me are still hanging around MK11. It's so cool and has so many variations and combos not discovered yet. Still giving big credits to the creators of MK1
@diff thanks for the vid new most but picked some up another class I find playing high lvl with him is sin blade demon slam and the dash for side switch or dash out and swapped for spear buff
I have a tip for that sin blade corner combo You could get a 2-1 before the 1-1 for style points. And if you land sin blade raw and end it with the 212 KB it’s the best damage with only one bar
Im assuming you’re referring to the tele cancel behind them? With the correct timing the opponent will always be able to punish that cancel, generally with a d2 or a poke. Sometimes you’ll get away with it if you back dash immediately but anybody who has practiced punishing the cancel will pretty much get you every time.
One tip I picked up on from watching you is baiting the spear reaction with stand 2, since the animations for stand 2 and spear are incredibly similar it works great
I actually missed talking about this. Thank you for highlighting this!
As a scorpion main, I'm ashamed most of these I didn't consider. Diff you're a legend.
Oh boy, it's diffin time.
Extra tips not included in the video:
- If you are going for a jump kick, always input spear after the jump kick because it will only come out on hit. If the opponent blocks the kick the spear won’t come out.

Or short hop into B3
hey what's the music you use for background noise

My scorpion was always great but your videos made me better when it comes to optimal combos
My brother in Christ I need “Road to Rank 1” vids
Good guide Diff. Also I want that Scorpion's skin 😆

No love for Searing Rage.😢
Love it!

It’s easy, literally mash spear input until it comes out and it’ll land every time
@@GodsFlaws I have been doing that most of the time, but I would like to get the timing down.
@@ThePeej75 no reason when you can get it every time, I just do what works. But you do you
Let’s gooo another diff upload😤😤
I just bought mk11 for the ps for $5 maybe a couple weeks ago or so. Im glad I found this video/channel because scorpion is my main since the first mk. Great tips, easy to follow. Thanks for this 🙏🏼
Honestly this video helped a lot especially being someone who mains scorpion thank you diff
“The Diff guide” 😏🔥
Awesome video
Also where is tag team combo video diff ?
You said it's one of your best videos and you make a short of it as well but you still didn't upload it
I gotta finish that one. I’ve been trying to hit absolute bangers for it, and feel like I’ve been extremely critical of it while putting it together
@@Diff nice , can't wait for it❤️✌️
All i have learned about to be a scorpion main was here at your channel. Watching from Brasil 🇧🇷
Thanks bro, i know i've been waiting for this video.
It is really insightfull to view the thought and habits of a high level player like you.
Thank you for making this video. Can't wait for MK12
Just thought I'd mention, there's a better combo than the 47% Diff shows. You can replace the forward 3 into spear, with stand 4 into spear, it does 49%.

The air sin blade after teleporting just wouldn’t come off after several tries 😫😫
You are a boss bra, thank you 👊🏽
That is a clean how to play video. Thank you for this.
The best tutorial scorp ever, thx brother!
It’s me watching this whole video knowing I’ll never play scorpion 😭
Yo what is that scorpion skin it’s nice
Brother I appreciate you man I'm working on it now. I'm a 100% scorpion player and I lose by the dumbest things sometimes. But I'm working on this
Can somebody explain how to use spear after hell port, it’s impossible
I have a Request can you do a Johnny Cage match 🥺🥺🥺
How do you special move cancel I have no idea how to do it on Xbox
Everybodys gonna play scorpion now lmaoooo
As somebodies who’s only game I play competitively is apex, I ain’t really gonna use this. The detailed analysis is extremely entertaining tho
Aye, I’ve been on that apex grind in the past. Who do you main?
@@Diff mirage, did grinding mk11 make u wanna stop playing apex?
Back 141 is only good with misery blade once they’re conditioned to the misery blade stance after the downward sword strike. but still very unsafe and not worth it. I’m trying to break that beginner habit still 2000+ matches in
no sin blade combo tutorial 😔
7:31
TheGoat
It was later called mk 1 lol
I agree
hai deadlif
@@Muwufox hello
Hey diff I’m curious why is your scorpion variation name otter?😂
My college roommates gave me that as a nickname cause they said i looked like one lol
Here in the first 7 seconds
Nice 😎...
Diff I have a question. How do I create distance from the opponent after forward 4,2 I know how to get behind them but not create distance. Could u pls reply on telling me how to do it?
Teleport cancel out. If you mean the input hold forward to stay same side hold down to switch sides
@@DougDongo thank you🙏🙏🙏
So good ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Damn diff took you long enough. Been refreshing since the last vid 🙄🙄
LETS GOOOOO
How do u reset the screen in practice
It’s your “select” button. So the one on the other side of the pause button
There are already too many Scorpion players online. Don’t encourage them
Cutie
Giving away my sanity to learn Kotal Kahn MKX and MK11, but at what cost?
Arguably he's much easier in mk11, plus he's got some of the best tools in-game (mid command grab, dot damage, unblockable setup, totems, tick throws, d3 spam etc)
Nice video good tips Diff Let's Go! Part 2 different kharacter! 🎮👊🏻🦂🦂🦂✌🏻
Thanks man this is a very serious helpful video
Ain’t gonna cap! A lot of people hate scorpion 😂 but somehow you make ppl actually like him. Props
GET OVER HERRREEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro, I really needed this. Thank you very very much. Much love to you diff.🙏♥️
I'm newish and I just can get down the hell port cancel and I haven't played games like this in a minute i dont remember what the 1 2 3 4 stand for

My name is what my name is who my name is chicka chicka best Scorpion
Try the new Street fighter..I suck hard body !
Thank you for this. Big brain diff
Rematch Mike Trollinski

Hey diff,can we do a ft5 on steam🎉
Wow, no hat no beanie! GG diff
For me , i have much better things to do then to learn all the bullshit they added to fighting games..if you can support your life with this..good luck and don't ever have kids!
If you get a cosplay chick ..I'm jealous!
Idk why but the hair caught me off guard.

What
@diff thanks for the vid new most but picked some up another class I find playing high lvl with him is sin blade demon slam and the dash for side switch or dash out and swapped for spear buff
nice
I have a tip for that sin blade corner combo
You could get a 2-1 before the 1-1 for style points. And if you land sin blade raw and end it with the 212 KB it’s the best damage with only one bar
We need mor videos like this, the grandmaster has make 5 vídeos on sub zero we need 4 videos on scorpion Wide now
is MK12 even a thing now that we know about mk 1?
Nah it’s not
Best guide out there for us intermediate/advanced scorpy players 🤓
just a suggestion, add time frame for each section of the tutorial. great vid!
Yes, now I'm gonna play like diff...true skill
I’m having trouble with his brutalities
Dude this Video is the best Guide Video on MK in all of ytube
Diff's school of kombat..thank you 👍
Of course u upload the day I go out
Woahhh I’m here early
Good morning
4:50 will it work if u tele cancel into a forward and grab? Or does the opponent have an advantage to punish it and get a full combo?
Im assuming you’re referring to the tele cancel behind them? With the correct timing the opponent will always be able to punish that cancel, generally with a d2 or a poke. Sometimes you’ll get away with it if you back dash immediately but anybody who has practiced punishing the cancel will pretty much get you every time.
So in other words it’s not safe lol. Just depends on the skill/timing of your opponent.
@@BeardedRage ok thanks
@@hxdraayt no problem 👍🏻
7:37 this isn't optimal combo you must do hack and slash instead of normal kick
Yep, full damage is 496.00 if using searing rage
its optimal if you dont have searing rage variation, stop correcting already correct facts
First to watch 😊
NBC
do you have a public discord server man i think you had one but couldnt find a link
Can someone explain me whats the purpose of changing my position
It has no purpose, it’s a feature that pays respect to the original MK’s where it had a purpose
Burning spear is a must for Scorpion to me, it is so helpful
