I've been thinking about something after I watched the trailer and I haven't seen anyone else comment on it. So those multiple versions of each character is obviously gonna be in terms of their fighting style.

Scoprion was seen in the trailer performing a bunch of new special moves, according to his stance/fighting style. They gave him some cool stuff like fighting with his swords mostly, but I was annoyed by a few others. He now has a bunch of new specials like summoning a demon to immobilize his opponent, a fireball, a torpedo where he thrusts himself into the opponent. It looks like he even uses his spear in a way Mavado would use his elastic whips. Now that will of course make Sporpion fans happy; I just can't help but think "Did he really need all that?" though.

Scorpion was always the most used character in MK, since Boon has a serious crush on him. It was obvious in MK9; he was one of the easiest characters to pick up and he had a good amount of specials to counter almost everyone. The spear of course (which could lead to a full combo), a teleport, a low-hit, an air throw, an unblockable. In the past he was given a bunch of other moves as well, like the parry one he had in MKvsDC, the backflip kick (which he had in MK9 but as part of one of his combos), and a flamethrower he had in MK4.

So why bother give him so many NEW moves, even though he was already a well-rounded character? The demon-summoning move he had in the trailer would be such an amazing move for Sareena for example. It would make so much sense to give it to a character like her, since she is also a demon from the Netherrealm. Why not try to give all those cool new moves to some of the under-developed characters, instead of Scorpion who was already fine as he was. I don't wanna sound like a brat that just hates Scorpion, I just think that instead of having him do all those new stuff out of nowhere, why not try to just tweak his moveset a bit? That's all he needed. Why give him a torpedo all of a sudden? Why not give that to characters like Tanya or Ashrah who already had a similar special in the past? And that fireball...like we didn't have 20 characters that had that already.

I was just a bit thrown off by that, when I watched the trailer. Am I the only one that felt that way?
