Making his first appearance in the inaugural Mortal Kombat 30 years ago, Scorpion is an instantly recognisable kombatant in the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to his ongoing rivalry with Sub Zero over his \u201cget over here\u201d catchphrase, and his kunai spear, Scorpion is one of our favourite ninjas.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/mortal-kombat-1-release-date-roster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mortal Kombat<\/a> 1, released earlier this month, the man behind the mask has changed from Hanzo Hasashi to Kuai Liang (Sub Zero in the previous timeline).<\/p>\n<p>But if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/spider-man-movies-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spider-Man<\/a> can be both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, Scorpion can also be represented by two people. And with Daisuke Tsuji (the voice of Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima) playing him, we have no problem with the new Scorpion.<\/p>\n<p>But what about his moves? Is Liang a completely different beast to Hasashi?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll share our favourite from Scorpion\u2019s Mortal Kombat 1 move list below, from combos to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/mortal-kombat-1-fatalities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fatalities<\/a>.<\/p> <h2><strong>Best Scorpion moves in MK1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s break down his moves into sections \u2013 that should make it easier if you\u2019re only here for the finishers.

However, if you know the combo, you can perform it from the get-go. Scorpion\u2019s two fatalities are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eye-Palling Victory<\/strong> \u2013 Down, Forward, Back, Block<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second Fatality<\/strong> \u2013 Back, Forward, Back, Back Punch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Scorpion brutalities in MK1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>And now for the brutality. For those out of the know, a brutality is a fatality but\u2026 more. Typically, they require more of an input, and the resulting finisher is far more extravagant.
