Through the mk series, there have been about 50 characters added, mk having about 10 (including goro,shang and reptile), all the way to armageddon having 60+
Through the series, some of these games ahve introduced characters in close relation to current characters who have been established from the beginning. Frost representing a female less experienced subzero with a more self power motivation. Khameleon representing the same race as reptile, in persuit of her people i believe, but she doesnt come off as evil, as reptile has been influenced otherwise in the past.
With 2 of the 3 imfamous "ninja's" of mk having female counterparts, would you say it is time for scorpion to have a female representation? or as him being mk's greatest recognised character, is it important for him to stay independant?
Is Midway afraid to have the same impact as Frost attracted for die hard subzero fans? it was a bit of a mix and some people were pissed off, which was not similar to Khameleon's response, which people were dying for her to be added into armageddon Wii.
Personally, I believe a Female scorpion figure would be hott, and maybe make a good character of sorts if done correctly, but I have to disagree. Scorpion Remains my favorate character second only to Sektor (always my #1 :p).
I fear for Scorpion if this were to happen, hes already on the rocks, just ask Chrome :p. hes in need of a revamp, not a bs chick interpritation.
thaughts?

the female counterparts havn't fared well in the past. sheeva has her fans, while frost is mostly loathed, but once again, has a cult following. if scorpion doesn't get a reboot, then why even bother putting a female clone in his place...or for that matter, with him? can't you just see where a female scorpion would lead.....that's right, she would turn out to be his wife, and i just don't think the mk storyline needs anymore bullets to the face.

I don't ever see a reason for a female Scorpion. Ever.
They'd have to do more stuff with Scorpion himself before even thinking about introducing a new counterpart to him. And his storyline has basically been the same for years, so I don't see that happening for a while. I wouldn't want it to happen anyway.

I think there should be a female Scorpion. Seeing a spear coming out of a yellow woman is hot! and dangerous.

First of all, Frost Rulez!
Now the idea of a female Scorpion is interesting but not very practical IMO. Khameleon and Frost were acceptable because their existence made sense as they were from the same race as their male counterparts. Hence their similarities were acceptable.
What reason could they give for a female Scorpion to exist? Also to have a harpoon and Flaming skull as well, would be a bit too much.
Unless... Some unknown force creates a huntress of equal power to hunt down Scorpion. Maybe another specter who is promised freedom from the netherealm if she takes out Scorpion?

There shouldn't be a female Scorpion. As for characters like Frost or Sheeva whether you love them or hate them, for the most part they worked well with their male counterparts in terms of story. Their story (like Frost's) enabled them to be a plausable character. And with that I don't see a plausable story to introduce a female Scorpion.

I like Khameleon and Frost.
I'd rather maybe make a female Scorpion as a cameo, maybe.

all right, to begin with, i am a frost fan, so that's getting out of my system.
now, putting in a female scorpion will not make sense in two reasons :because there are many characters already that resemble a similarity with other characters in the mk roaster, and secondly it just won't look right at all.
you have two female characters that already share similar moves towards other male charcters. you already have frost, khameleon, movado, kira and shinnok. and ill descibe those:
Frost - obviously she's based off of sub-zero
khameleon - obviously she's base off of reptile and fans demanded to see a female chemeleon when they first saw him in trilogy.
kira - based off of kano and sonya which was the biggest mistake ever
movado - biggest rip off of kabal even though he doesn't look like him... but his whole story shares a lot with kabal
shinnok - shang tsung's rip off
we don't need more characters to be created by stealing moves/looks/story off of the other existing characters in the mk frenchise.
secondly, it just wouldn't look right. im sorry, but females with skulls for heads do not look right at all. while creating something like this in mka i was not pleased at all on how she looked. therefore with girls with skulls for a head will never look right at all. i know that females can play the role as a demon perfectly, but in this case i don't see that. i just cannot picture another scorpion-like charcter as a female.
i made my point, now im done.

If someone says Tanya is the female Scorpion I'm gonna elbow them in the forehead.

Yeah to be honest it would be an insult to Tanya.

I used to think having Quan Chi turn Scorpion's wife into a spectre to use against him could've been an interesting character...provided though she neither looked nor played anything like Scorpion himself.
I've gotten over that. Scorpion seriously needs to move away from the constant bitching about his family/clan and bringing back his wife (or son or the Shirari Ryu) would just be yet another step backwards.
Furthermore, I think in the next generation games they should have a more streamlined plot and cast. And I think creating more female or any other alternate versions of existing characters is just wasting space.

I'll pass.
To make her work she'd at least have to be as "bad ass" as Scorpion. Which essentially equals that she'd be his opposite, or enemy somehow.....which, as far as his story goes seems pretty boring and repetitive for Scorpion now.
To add, I don't like Tanya either, and people inferring that she was the female Scorpion did nothing but add more to the "sour" for me.
No additions to the ninjas are needed either. I'd much rather they replace Scorpion with some totally different member of the Shirari Ryu
No please.

okay, what i meant to say was; if you insist on including scorpion's wife in this game, make her the opposite of scorpion

Sorry, but that's not going to make any sense, namely because Ashrah existed long before Scorpion's wife did.

NO! just stop! what is with you people trying to create his family all over again? this is pathetic! why would you have ashrah be as scorpion's wife? this is just stupid. why would you want another scorpion only in a female's body?
god i hate this!

And Ashrah's a demon. Human + Demon = No. Ashrah would just as easily kill Scorpy as much as she would feel for the guy.latvia101 Wrote:

i know it doesnt make sense, my idea was to have his wife be entirely different from him rather than gender swapping(wow this sounds dirty!) with entirely different moves but as other people said you're best bet is to leave his family out of it.
