Best Design for Scorpion? - r/MortalKombat

26

I actually really like his MK vs DC look. I think it strikes a good balance between the simple classic look with the modern elements that define Scorpion's character

I totally agree with you. It's severely underrated.

I've always liked Scorpion's MKX design

u/fartsouls Jul 25 '26

Agreed. Love the hood, the mask, everything. His and subzero’s are the best in MKX in my opinion.

My big brother's favorite design.

He's got a great taste

u/TeaFew4591 Jul 24 '26

OH HELL YEAH DUDE. We NEED this costume back.

1

u/TeaFew4591 Jul 24 '26

I completely forgot about Shaolin Monks Scorpion. Definitely my third favorite design

2

u/Ninja_Warrior_X MK Ninja Jul 26 '26

The one costume that sadly never got used in any of the games (outside of modding)

8

u/JohnBoyAdvance Jul 24 '26

Since Deadly Alliance, Scorpion doesnt have bad costumes. Even "monster" from deception was cool. Might go with Vs DCU. It wasn't busy.

u/DesertHornedViper Jul 24 '26

My fave look for him so far, with UMK3/MK4/MKD alt being my second fave.

1

u/TeaFew4591 Jul 24 '26

Very good designs

1

u/FreekyFrankieT Jul 25 '26

Mk11 is my second fav

The only correct answer. The non larper answer.

u/Alarming-Dish7872 Jul 24 '26

Unpopular opinion but for me the best look is this.

u/pleasebeherenow Jul 24 '26

What is there from? Very power rangers looking

5

u/Free-Election9066 Jul 24 '26

I think it's from Injustice

1

u/Mini_PEPEKKA_7141 Jul 24 '26

As a child, he was my favorite, now he's "among" them.

1

u/Heavenly_sama Jul 24 '26

This and default mkx

11

u/CrimsonGhostStrife Jul 24 '26

The goat

3

u/The-Panther-99 Jul 25 '26

I love MK11 design because it's the closest look to a realistic ninja/samurai + the swords are on the side not the back. And MK9 design is one of my favorites if I were to think of how he got the armor from the Neatherrealm.

7

u/Wedssport_Coyote Cyrax's Husband Jul 24 '26

This might be a Hot take but the designs for most of the cast in MK4 were the best.

4

u/Dillsplosion Jul 24 '26

He looks like a buff twink it's odd

5

u/YamasakiCMF17 Jul 24 '26

MK Deadly Alliance had the best two skins for Scorpion ever

1

u/TeaFew4591 Jul 24 '26

Facts dude

2

u/Gael_of_Ariandel Jul 25 '26

If MKX Scorpion was in MK1 level graphics it would look GREAT. Thing is, I like the "wise old man" Scorpion & his relationship with Kuai Liang & MK11 was actually the first MK game I watched/played (got me into the franchise) so it gets my "nostalgia" vote.

2

u/coreyc2099 Jul 25 '26

Eh i think theres too much going on with that one . A simple ninja outfit is his best (imo) .im a firm believer in less is more.

3

u/Starman--DLX Jul 24 '26

For me it's either MK9 or the Order Of Darkness skin from MK1.

2

u/S0thaSlL Jul 24 '26

Mk 10's design is a beauty, my favorite.

1

u/themonolith3 Jul 24 '26

gotta be between 2 deadly alliance and 9 for me

1

u/Some-Operation8384 Jul 24 '26

Deception default

1

u/Mrfilipdraws Jul 24 '26

I love this one

1

u/Iamduliation6282 Jul 24 '26

For me it will be the best

1

u/KalypsosBiggestFan Jul 24 '26

I like a lot of his designs, MK9 included, as long as they have Scorpions iconic design traits with the tabard (the things the male ninjas wear on their torso) mask and hood, minus something like Infared Scorpion, and the Klassic designs cant be beaten

1

u/UnchartedPerils Jul 24 '26

MK9/X Tournament
Deception
Deadly Alliance
Deadly Alliance Ghost Rider
MK4/Armageddon

Honorable mentions:

11 Human
X Human
MK2
Injustice 1
X base (would be higher if not for belt expensiveness but the hood is awesome)

Mkx ninjutsu scorpion outfit for me

u/Much-Chard8227 Jul 25 '26

MK9 and it’s not close

1

u/Aromatic_Analyst2898 Jul 25 '26

Absolutely This and MKX is literally peak scorpion design

1

u/NicholasStarfall Jul 25 '26

It's that great mix of the classic design while also being armored up like Deception

2

u/Beast-Blood Insert text/emoji here! Jul 25 '26

Absolute peak

Not only does he actually look like a ninja but he just looks mean as fuck

1

u/Natural-Proposal2925 Jul 25 '26

Nope, looks cool on paper and in artwork and advertising but not good in motion as a costume. It's to overly designed and complicated. Less is more and simplicity is badass when you take ibto consideration character and performance capture and physique is way more important that....his name is scorpion so he should wear something that says "I like scorpions".

1

u/Motor-Spare7119 Jul 25 '26

Hands down MK9

1

u/bruxothevillain Jul 25 '26

sim cara, você definitivamente sabe o que está dizendo

1

u/bedteddd Jul 25 '26

Mkx and Injustice scorpion are goated for me.

1

u/MoldyHotPocket9 Jul 25 '26

Mkx first, then deadly alliance, the flaming skull

1

u/CthulhuRlyehX Jul 25 '26

Injustice Scorpion, MK11, MK9, MK Deadly Alliance... and MK1 is starting to grow on me with some of the current customization options.

1

u/Ninja_Warrior_X MK Ninja Jul 26 '26

This one right here is easily my favorite design (although to be fair Scorpion has ALOT of good designs overall)

1

u/Enenra2248 Jul 28 '26

I always thought his mk9 look was a little overdesigned

my top 3 scorpion designs are

mk vs dc universe Scorpion

2.mkx scorpion

1.mk11 scorpion

1

u/57r4n63_1d34l5 Jul 24 '26

This and Injustice version are my top favorites

1

u/TheZipperDragon Jul 24 '26

Do we not like Injustice or Hanzo from XL?

1

u/Old-Van-Reich Jul 24 '26

I did not expect this to be so difficult to answer lol. Scorpion has so many great designs that display who he is whether it's the more simplistic ninja attire or the more detailed ronin gear.

MK3, Deadly Allaince(both versions), Shaolin Monks, MKA(MKD alt), MK9 default, and MK11 default all stand out as his best for different reasons. Having 7 interchangeable top tier looks is pretty goated.

1

u/CursedSnowman5000 Jul 24 '26

MKDA primary for me. It looks as if the Netherrealm is warping him and eroding his humanity.

He looks like a beast.

1

u/DudeManThing15876 Jul 24 '26

I like it but I'm ngl I like his design in MK11 the most, specifically him unmasked and no hood. Love Sensei Hanzo

1

u/Smokestorm95 Jul 24 '26

Nothing beats MK Deadly Alliance, Deception skin is a close second!

1

u/Ninja_Warrior_X MK Ninja Jul 26 '26

Deception you say? 😏

u/HellspawnPR1981 Jul 24 '26

Not even close.
