With Sub-Zero not even down for a 10 count, Scorpion runs back to his village to find his wife, son, and all their neighbors have met an icy death by the Lin Kuei. So far, he's completely failed to deliver. Scorpion is supposed to be this legendary badass, a hero known far and wide. In fact, Scorpion is completely outclassed in the fight, only gaining the upper hand with a lucky shot of his kunai - yes, he screams, "get over here" and yes, it's pretty damn cool - leading to a rather weak uppercut. That's not even taking into account that Sub-Zero utilizes his trademark cryokinesis with great style and deadly intent, creating spiked traps that Scorpion just barely evades. Despite the fact that Tancharoen has outfitted him in what we swear is just a black vest over a gray sweat suit and a mask that doesn't fit, Sub-Zero uses an incredible array of spin kicks, leaps, and mind-boggling acrobatics that leave Scorpion flailing like Jim Carrey taking on Jackie Chan.
Sub-Zero dominates the fight with moves even more awesome than what he usually displays in the games. Well, that's the first step we took on the road to condemning Scorpion's family. That's what we were all waiting for, the classic match-up between Mortal Kombat's original palette swaps. Scorpion was lured away from his village by the simplest trick in the ninja handbook, basically just telling him the Shogun wants to see him, was waylaid on the path to the Shogun by Sub-Zero, who then taunts Scorpion that Sub-Zero's Lin Kuei ninjas are now murdering everyone he has ever loved.įirst off, let's talk about the fight. We withheld final judgment on the two-part story arc dealing with Scorpion (Ian Anthony Dale) and Sub-Zero (Kevin Ohtsji) until episode 8 was released today, and here is our doom: Scorpion's family totally deserved to die. posted the new episode today instead of Tuesday as it usually does, we assume due to the Memorial Day weekend. A note to the legions of readers who avidly follow our reviews of Kevin Tancharoen's Mortal Kombat: Legacy.
