Scorpion (MK) vs. Orochimaru

[Ron_Mexico]

Who wins in an all out fight?

[jplaya2023]

Oro would destroy him. Everytime scorpion uses his fire, oro sheds his skin. Scorpion uses his snake rope, oro takes it and smiles and uses it to attack scorpion. To be blunt

scorpion uses snakes

oro is a snake

scorpion uses snakes

Incorrect.

Scorpion uses a harpoon.

Plus, Orochimaru can't kill the ninja spectre. Scorpion's already dead since MK1.

And the minute Scorpion says "GET OVER HERE!", Orochimaru craps in his pants at the legendary saying.

Or Scorpion's tele-punch. Scorpion immolates Orochimaru's ass

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

Scorpion is a true immortal being, Oro is not. Scorpion wins.

[The Anti-Existence]

I'm betting on the guy who succeeded where the combined efforts of Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Raiden failed.

Well i know its fun and all for everyone to jump on Jplaya whenever he speaks but i dont see what Scorpion is gonna do to win. This doesnt mean i'm saying he cant win just that i've played up till MK3 and i never saw anything that would warrent a win. Immortal as he is without arms and legs or a head he is still gonna lose right?

No. I'm not like certain other posters
"Scorpion" was the code name of one of the Shirai Ryu's finest - a ninja assassin named Hanzo Hasashi. It is known that his father, a former member of the Shirai Ryu, forbade his son from joining the clan because he did not want him to live his life as an assassin. But Hanzo joined in spite of his father's wishes in order to provide his wife and son with a comfortable life. During the events of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, he was hired by Quan Chi to find a map hidden in the Himalayas. However, Quan Chi had also requested for the services of Sub-Zero the elder, who belonged to the rival Lin Kuei clan and was Scorpion's personal rival. The theory of hiring two ninja was simple - in case one of them failed, the other would succeed and Quan Chi would be closer to unlocking unknown and ultimate power.

Both Scorpion and Sub-Zero succeeded in getting to their destination, but the two met each other reaching for the same map they were sent out to acquire. The two rival warriors fought, with Sub-Zero gaining the advantage. As Scorpion lay on the ground defeated, Sub-Zero decapitated him and left his corpse where it fell. Scorpion's soul would fall into the pits of the Netherealm itself; obsessed with revenge, he became a ninja spectre. Scorpion learned that the Lin Kuei, following his death, had also massacred his entire clan and family. Fueled by an undying rage and thirst for retribution, he vowed to kill Sub-Zero in retaliation for his own murder.

Scorpion would not meet Sub-Zero again until a brief encounter in the Netherealm, where Sub-Zero had been sent by Raiden to regain the amulet from Shinnok and Quan Chi. The two fought, but Sub-Zero defeated Scorpion again and escaped the undead assassin's wrath. Following his return to Earth, Sub-Zero was later invited to participate in Shang Tsung's tournament of Mortal Kombat - unknown to the Lin Kuei warrior, Scorpion had been invited as well. The two met on Shang Tsung's boat, at which point Scorpion grabbed Sub-Zero by the throat and said "You killed me in cold blood exactly two years ago, to this day, but my demons have allowed me to avenge my death. I could kill you at this moment, but I am not a murderer. We will meet at the tournament, and then, Lin Kuei, you will pay with your life."

While Scorpion and Sub-Zero did not meet during the actual tournament, they did meet in the closing moments of Mortal Kombat, and true to his word the hell-bent spectre fought Sub-Zero in another fight to the death. Proving to be too strong and powerful for the Lin Kuei warrior, Scorpion slew his nemesis and avenged his death. With that, he violently burst into flames and ash, returning to the Netherealm.

A year later, Scorpion learned of Sub-Zero's plans to compete in the second tournament. Enraged at the idea that his murderer had somehow returned and his vengeance was incomplete, Scorpion followed Sub-Zero into the realm of Outworld, where Shao Kahn hosted the second tournament. It is unknown whether or not Sub-Zero and Scorpion met, but Scorpion was a witness to one of Sub-Zero's battles, in which he saw Sub-Zero sparing the life of an opponent. Scorpion did not understand why the Lin Kuei warrior had grown so merciful. He later came to the realization that this Sub-Zero was the younger brother of his murderer, who was sent to complete his brother's failed mission. Scorpion then vowed not to harm this new Sub-Zero, as it was not the man who once killed him. He also vowed to be this new Sub-zero's guardian in atonement for killing his older brother who had become Noob Saibot. Scorpion was then summoned back to the damnation of the Netherealm.

When Shao Kahn invaded Earthrealm and unsuccessfully tried to conquer the Netherealm as well, Scorpion was inadvertently set free, and began walking the Earth once more. He pledged allegiance to no one, taking neither friends nor enemies. Shao Khan, however, recognized Scorpion's superior warrior skills, and enlisted the ninja in his forces. Scorpion's allegiance with Shao Khan quickly dissolved when he discovered that Sub-Zero, whom he had vowed not to harm, was one of Earth's Chosen warriors and a target of Shao Kahn's. He turned on Shao Kahn, and sided with the Earthrealm warriors in their final showdown with the evil emperor. With Shao Khan and his minions defeated, Earth reverted back to normal, causing Scorpion to return to hell once more.

During the events of Mortal Kombat Gold, Scorpion came to believe that the younger Sub-Zero was also involved with the murders of his family and clan. Quan Chi offered him life in exchange for the spectre's assistance in the war with the Elder Gods, which Scorpion accepted, but only so he could face Sub-Zero in combat- which Quan Chi was not only fully aware of, but had planned on all along. Scorpion eventually caught up with Sub-Zero, and the two began their final battle; as with the elder Sub-Zero, Scorpion's obsession for revenge was too strong and he emerged the victor. As Scorpion stood triumphantly over Sub-Zero, the defeated warrior proclaiming innocence, Quan Chi appeared and revealed that he had arranged for the killing of the Shirai Ryu and Scorpion's family. Before Scorpion could speak, Quan Chi attempted to send him back to the Netherealm. Scorpion grabbed Quan Chi before the sorcerer could complete his spell, sending them both into the dreaded realm.

During the years that Quan Chi spent trapped in the fifth plane of the Netherealm, he would be chased, brutalized, and tortured by Scorpion. Quan Chi had little chance of escape, as his powers were weakened while he was in the Netherealm, and Scorpion's power and strength conversely increased (note: Quan Chi, as Shinnok's second-in-command, had previously resided in the Netherealm. However, this was explained as a new region of the Netherealm where sorcerers retain their power). Quan Chi eventually struck a deal with the Oni Drahmin and Moloch, who fought off Scorpion for him. When Quan Chi escaped the Netherealm through a portal, Scorpion followed him, but the volatile portal did not send him to the same place. He continued to hound Quan Chi in a game of cat-and-mouse until he found himself ambushed by Drahmin and Moloch, who had also escaped the Netherealm. They threw him into the soulnado, believing that it would kill the ninja spectre once and for all (as recounted in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance).

Scorpion, however, managed to escape into the Void before the purity of the soulnado tore him apart. While in the Void, he met the Elder Gods, in whom he had never believed, and forever became changed from what he saw. He also witnessed Raiden's sacrifice and Onaga's dominance beginning to unfold. The Elder Gods were aware of his presence and enhanced his mortal and supernatural abilities, making him the Champion of the Elder Gods. The Elder Gods gave him a new mission, to seek and destroy Onaga before he unmade the realms. Scorpion emerged from the Void and returned to Outworld.

[Giovanni Rild]

Scorpion continued

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's konquest mode, Scorpion appears to be no longer willing to serve as the Elder gods' champion. This is due to the bargain he had made with the Elder Gods to serve them in the first place; they would resurrect the Shirai Ryu clan in return for his services. While the Elder gods did fulfill their promise, they brought back the Shirai Ryu clan as hellspawned warriors, the same as Scorpion. Enraged at what he perceived as their betrayal, Scorpion vows to gain vengeance on the Elder Gods by removing the two things crucial to their plans- Taven and Daegon. They were the Elder Gods only means to prevent Armageddon.

In Scorpion's Mortal Kombat: Armageddon ending after defeating Blaze , the entire Shirai Ryu clan is resurrected and await his command, along with Scorpion's wife and son. But Quan Chi appears and kidnaps his son and takes him into the Netherealm. Scorpion then commands the Shirai Ryu to find Quan Chi; Scorpion will not rest until his son is rescued and the sorcerer has been destroyed.[1]

[edit] Combat characteristics

[edit] Signature moves

* Bloody Spear: Sending out a rope with a tipped Kunai at the end, it impales itself into the victim's chest, allowing Scorpion to pull them through the air towards him for a free hit, as well as cause a small bit of damage. This move often follows the words, "GET OVER HERE!" or "COME HERE!" (In MK: Shaolin Monks, he even—albeit rarely—says profane versions of both phrases). This is Scorpion's signature move. It was originally believed that Scorpion's spear was actually a snake-like creature spawned from the palm of his hand rather than being thrown; this was illustrated in both Mortal Kombat movies as well as the animated series Defenders of the Realm. Any depictions of him actually throwing the spear was chalked down to an error in design, as shown in Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins. However, the spear is clearly a simple kunai being thrown as seen in the newer games such as Deadly Alliance and Deception. MK:A)
* Hellfire Punch: Teleporting behind his opponent he connects with a punch (became a kick called the Teleport Attack in Deception).
* Aerial Back Teleport Punch: Scorpion performs his hellfire punch in the air.
* Leg Takedown: Scorpion trips his opponent with a leg scissor takedown.
* Air Throw: Scorpion throws his opponent while in the air.
* Breathe Fire: Removing his mask to show his flaming skull, he spews fire on his opponent.
* Hellfire: Scorpion summons the fires of Hell to burn his opponent from underneath.
* Backflip Kick: Scorpion performs a backflip kick followed by a trail of fire.
[edit] Recurring fatalities

* Toasty!: Scorpion's signature fatality, Scorpion takes off his mask, revealing a skull face, and breathes fire at his opponent, burning them alive and causing them to explode (usually resulting in Dan Forden squealing "Toasty!!!"; in Mortal Kombat 4 Dan Forden will say "Toasty! 3D!" owing to it being transferred to a new graphic dimension). For an unknown reason in Shaolin Monks, it was renamed to "Flame", although Dan Forden still says "Toasty!" afterwards at random.
* Spear Slice: Scorpion takes out his signature kunai, slices his opponent across the throat, then slices the unlucky individual through the hip, their torso falling to the ground. (In MK:SM, this was changed to a backhand followed by Scorpion stabbing the opponent with the kunai, then ripping their body across the blade embedded in their stomach. Scorpion rips the torso off, then raises it in victory in this version).

[ZergKage]

I know how to read wikipediaDOTcom Rild. What i'm asking is is he still "human" as far as speed/durability/strength goes. Because as with Hidan, immortality would mean nothing without a head

[Shogun]

this is orochimaru we're talkin' 'bout and yes, forgetting the bios i have seen him in games and movies and he is nothing special.

[The Anti-Existence]

Who's nothing special? Scorpion or Orochimaru? Because Scorpion defeated the Dragon King who took Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Raiden's best efforts with no problem before emerging from Raiden releasing his godly essence in a huge blast completely unharmed. So...he's something special, I think. Snake-boy isn't compared to him, though.

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

Immortal as he is without arms and legs or a head he is still gonna lose right?

Wrong. Even if Oro could pull it off, all it would do is send Scorpion to hell for about 2 minutes then he'd be back. Besides, Scorpion beat Dragon King who is at least Kyuubi's level, so until Orochimaru defeats the Fox, I dont see him winning

[Sengoku]

scorp would win, he's already dead. and the universe (mk) is alot more tougher than naruto, tbh.

[Gray Wolf]

Scorpion grows stronger everytime he goes to the Netherealm. Everytime Orochimaru kills Scorpion he would only come back stronger.

[Shinkirou]

Wow, Scorpion seems to get ping ponged back and forth to hell alot...

[Sengoku]

weapons battle between the two would be badass.

[The Nameless Pharaoh]

Wrong. Scorpion is stronger than Gods in MK. He is extremely fast. He was thrown into a frickin' soulnado and survived. With his bare hands he pierced the body of a dragon king whom a nuclear blast couldn't scratch.

That's far far far beyond a human.

Dude, any low tier MK character can rape Kyuubi.

[Akakiri]

Scorpion would tele and kick Orochimaru in the head, burn the shit out of his snakes, and harpoon him, and yell "GET OVER HERE", take off his mask and fatality.

That's it. It's over.

[Garra of the desert]

Orochimaru vs Scorpion



FIGHT!


Scorpion and Oro both draw swords

Scorp cuts Oro to pieces he rengenrates

Oro summons Manda and Manda eats scorp

Scorp rips through manda and tele kicks oro

FINISH HIM

ORO: OHSNAPZ!

(Scorpion rips out oros heart)

Fatality.

Wow, never knew you could be wrong when asking a question before.

[Id]

Im going with the true imortal Scorpion.
If it bleeds it can die, this holds true for Oro.

[Comic Book Guy]

Scorpion pretty much turned from another cast character into arguably the hero.

[~Shin~]

Im going with the true imortal Scorpion.

This statement's not entirely true, since alucard bleeds like crazy and he's still immortal

[takeover2]

Scorpion can take of his mask and shoot some dam hellfire from his skeletal head

[evo Force]

And the minute Scorpion says "GET OVER HERE!", Orochimaru craps in his pants at the legendary saying.

Gahahaha...So true. Anyway scorpion is a true fighter in martial arts. Orochimaru is just a winny little b*tch..! (*Oeeehh...my arms*). Plus...i've seen orochimaru in naruto games and he can't live up to scorpions level. Ah the good old mk days...:amuse

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

So we all agree that Scorp kicks Oro's ass

[jirochimaru]

Nope. Oro would surely kcik Oro's ass. Everytime Scorpion hits Oro, its a kwarimi (replacement), then Oro would kuchiyose the big-ass snake Manda and eats scorpion. End of story.

[Hype]

Nope. Oro would surely kcik Oro's ass. Everytime Scorpion hits Oro, its a kwarimi (replacement), then Oro would kuchiyose the big-ass snake Manda and eats scorpion. End of story.

Then he goes to hell and returns about 60 seconds later repeat untill Oro gets tired

[Comic Book Guy]

Nope. Oro would surely kcik Oro's ass. Everytime Scorpion hits Oro, its a kwarimi (replacement), then Oro would kuchiyose the big-ass snake Manda and eats scorpion. End of story.

Problem is, Scorpion's dead already.

He'll just tear his way out of Manda and want more.

[Nice Gai]

Scorpion is so tight when he can uppercut someone and make an ugly ass mofo jump into the screen and yell TOASTY!

[Rainstorm]

Scorpion's got this in the bag. He's the Champion of the Elder Gods in Deception and he is the definition of total badass. He never really stays down for good and if he's on your tail (like he is on Quan Chi), he'll stop at nothing to kill you. Absolute menace. Not to mention he's died several times before.

[Gunners]

In a fight Orochimaru would beat scorpian down. His hand to hand combat is superior, he has jutsus to back him up too.

I don't really know about Scorpian being imortal, I just don't see him being able to beat Orochimaru in a fight.

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

Are you for real?

Scorpion's punches carry many times more force than a nuclear blast. Not to mention he's even more powerful than the Elder Gods, including Shinnock, who can do everything Itachi's MS can do and more.

Ahem. He owes his power boost to the Elder Gods. Scorpion is not stronger than nigh-omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient beings. Shinnok could easily dominate on him if they ever fought as long as he had his amulet.

Scorpion: I am the Champion of the Elder Gods!
Shinnok: I was once an Elder God. *blinks Scorpion out of existence*

Can you point me to the infomation, I always though his punches and kicks were that of a normal human, well one that works out and shit.

[Gamabunta]

Orochimaru summons the 2 immortal hokages. Game over. Thank you for showing up scorpion.

[Comic Book Guy]

Edo-Tensei needs prep-time.

[Gamabunta]

The original post had no talk of prep time not being allowed.

orochi uses the jutsu an wins.

[Orion]

The original post had no talk of prep time not being allowed.

orochi uses the jutsu an wins.

you dont get prep time in the battledome unless its specified.......its an unwritten rule,just like unless otherwise specified opponents are bloodlusted in fight.

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

Can you point me to the infomation, I always though his punches and kicks were that of a normal human, well one that works out and shit.

Dragon King fight is my reference. With his bare hands he beat a guy that didnt even feel a nuclear blast, thats MUCH stronger than Oro

[Gamabunta]

seriously? there are rules to this shit....

damn.

I guess both are immortal in a way. Orochi can keep melting into stuff if it gets to tough for him.

Without edo tensei = draw.

[Orion]

oro's not immortal.....his spit out a body no jutsu requires chakra so he will eventually die,scorp on the otherhand is completely immortal so he will win eventually.

[Gamabunta]

well if orochimaru is able to meld into his surroundings he can do an itachi, then come back with a new body to fight again. thus its a never ending cycle. a draw.

[Orion]

do an itachi?and you cant run away for un specified amount of time and get a new body lol oro losses period.

[Comic Book Guy]

By fleeing from the battle, he forfeits. Thus, Scorpion wins.

[Gamabunta]

At this time, yes he loses *sigh*. We must wait and see what other tricks he has up his sleeve though!

[Gunners]

Forgive my ignorance. For some reason my perception on Mortal Kombat characters strengths were far out, I generally based my opinion from the first 3 games and the movie :S

[Comic Book Guy]

There's no need for a rematch, unless the thread creator specifies a second round.

Well, the story developed quite a bit since MK3.

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

How will he ever deafeat an immortal that can kill him with 1 punch and who is only surpassed by the king of hell

[Gamabunta]

Become more powerful that the king of hell?

[Comic Book Guy]

Become more powerful that the king of hell?

You really need to play the latest MK games in order to know what the Dragon King is capable of.

[Gamabunta]

I havent played MK since it was pixelated.... might have 2 buy a copy

[Kazuma the Shell Bullet]

Become more powerful that the king of hell?

I LOLed. Shinnock can kill Oro with a thought. You fail

[Gamabunta]

I LOLed. Shinnock can kill Oro with a thought. You fail

Alright, calm yourself.
