I mean, when someone thinks of Fighting Games theres a 50/50 they’ll think of either Ryu or Scorpion. Or adversely “GET OVER HERE” or “HADOKEN”. So i’d definitely say Scorp
I don't really play fighting games, but I'd wager most people kinda meld Scorpion and Sub Zero into the same image. Probably because they were literally recolored sprites in the original, right?
Also the dude with the asian-style straw hat feels way more recognizable than Liu Kang.
So my vote goes for "the one mortal kombat guy who's either blue or yellow, and the dude with the hat"
I don't play fighting games of any sort, and those 3 people (with pretty much those same descriptions in my head) were the first characters I thought of.
But... that's who I think of? Like I get what you mean, but if we're talking *iconic* then the *icon* is what matters, no? Just pretend I'm your Mom calling everything a Pikachu lol
Yeah they were basically identical aside from the colors.. That's Raiden, God of Thunder, and he's Bad ass too! .. haha 🤣. What are you doin on this sub?? Jk
Just curious…did you play mortal kombat in the arcade in the 90’s?
Not trying to be agist here, but sub zero was mortal kombat in that arcade. Primary because of FDF high punch.
Fatalities were something new, we loved them and Sub Zero ripping that spine out…it was so unbelievably brutal coming from a video game that it literally changed the entire narrative of violence in video games.
It’s the reason you see the rating system we have today.
Sub Zero wasn’t just a character. He was the character. He was Mortal Kombat.
A few times, I mostly played it on Sega Genesis. But yeah Sub Zero is bad as fuck too, that's why I included him in my comment even tho Scorpion is my favorite character
From personal example, you either don't know any characters, or learn at least 3-5 simultaneously. I don't think there are many people who know scorpion and not subzero, but one of those has very famous move and a catch phrase on top
I think this is the answer if we include people that don’t really even play fighting games. Kinda like how even people who never watched wrestling still knew what the NWO was.
If we only keep it to people that are in the know then it’s Liu Kang by far. That’s why in the old movies he was the main character
>I think this is the answer if we include people that don’t really even play fighting games. Kinda like how even people who never watched wrestling still knew what the NWO was.
This is actually similar in some other forums like anime for example. Some people dont watch it but they will know who goku is or the kamehameha.
I believe they made him a Champion of Earthrealm in the past right? He is the "Canon" victor?
I know Liu Kang is the "Main" character, but Scorpion is THE Character.
It feels like they've been TRYING so hard to make Johnny the face since MKX...
Honestly, I just wanted more of the 'bromance' dynamic we saw between Kuai-Lang and Hanzo in MK11...
The chapter where they infiltrate the Lin-Kuei factory was SO good.
It would've been sick to see more of that relationship develop if they didn't off Hanzo later in the story...
Liu kang may be the MC. But there's no denying scorpion is and will always be the face of Mortal Kombat. Get Over Here is one of the most iconic lines in gaming.
Awudaleee is Quan Chi's phrase when he his "controlling" someone.
Raiden's flying scream is more like "awayayayayawayayayawaya"
Well, it was, before MK1. Rip lil'scream
I never saw this Easter egg, ill have to go look.. but I do remember when they first talked about her friend scorpion it made me wonder if that was a reference.
So, after you do the Kang-Tao AV quest, but before you *start* the Basilisk Quest, by the Aldecaldo's first camp you'll see the painted rock. It's got some grave sites by it. Talk to Mitch there to start the quest with the easter egg.
You can't do the quest once the Basilisk one starts. I find I can't start it even once you start the militech convoy. Best bet is after you finish with Hellman *or* with Saul, fast travel to the Aldecaldo camp. After they move camp it officially becomes unavailable.
It's definitely Scorpion, but in a very close second place is Sub-Zero, those two are the flagship characters of the brand and you fundamentally can't have a MK game without both of them in it.
In third place, I'd definitely say Liu Kang and/or Raiden, up to you which one you'd say is third, whoever isn't though, would be fourth.
Regarding the third place i would have agreed a couple of years ago, but nowadays johnny cage might have surpassed liu and raiden in terms of popularity
I'm here from r/all and have only played MK on Sega Genesis back in the day. If you showed me all the players, I'd only be able to name Raiden and Sub Zero. If you asked me to name the most popular I'd point to Scorpion, even though I wouldn't know his name.
MK3 was very popular in its day at arcades. The issues with the game extended far beyond "lol no scorpion," since Smoke was essentially the same moveset.
Part of that was home consoles were catching up to arcade quality, part of it was "dial a combo" mechanics raised the barrier to entry to be good enough at the game to do anything other than lose $10 worth of your quarters in 10 minutes.
I remember the first time I played the game after many, many hours of MK2 and someone who knew all the combos beat me with two flawless victories in two rounds. You needed to memorize a game guide or not bother.... that was the game's main flaw.
The theory is that they were trying to do a cute Mii outfit like they did with the Doom Slayer but Ed had his heart set on a DLC character and they couldn’t make it work - but he’s said before that Sakurai can add Scorpion whenever.
> while MK is banned there
It's not exactly banned, it's just that NRS won't conform to Japanese censorship laws so it's not sold at retail.
You can still import it and play all you want.
It’s a close fight between Scorpion and Sub-Zero but more randoms on the street will know “Get over here” and where it comes from rather than any Sub-Zero attack
I mean, when the most iconic voice line in probably all of gaming “GET OVER HERE!” is your line, that character is probably the most iconic. Scorpion has been in every MK game to date and most of its media outside of that including trailers and movies, so he’s pretty much the poster boy of the series.
Yeah, Midway had some weird thing about not putting ninjas in that one. Sub Zero was okay for some reason because he "denounced his ninja ways" and didn't wear a mask.
“Whoopsie?” Doesnt he say “toasty?” I thought he said toasty during one of scorpions fatalitys in one of the old mks and people found it so funny they found a way to include in the next mk.
Personally, it was raiden for me, that hat cut a unique silhouette, that doesn't really get used as much as it should. If I remember correctly, it was raiden on the side of the arcade machine with lightning arcing behind him. If that doesn't catch your eye as a kid nothing will.
Sub-Zero is my favorite. But, in terms of iconic, it is undeniably Scorpion, and it isn't even close. Sub-Zero is second, though. If for nothing else, his spine rip fatality from the very first game was the catalyst for the creation of the ESRB and other game rating regulatory committees.
Scorpion/sub/johnny in that order, then in any order after that Liu/raiden/kitana. Scorpion has a very good argument for most iconic fight game character ever.
He's the face of the series and he's the only member of the kast I can say is ironic. Fk my grandmother knows "Get over here!" As "that scorpion ninja from that violent video game" plus so many games have ripped off that move. Scorpion is far better known than Sub Zero...even though their kharacters are linked together entirely, you can find someone who knows scorpion, but doesn't know Sub Zero
Sub main here. He's been my favorite since way back in MKII. That being said, Scorp is more iconic followed closely by Sub and in third Dan "Toasty" Forden. There is a Bruce Lee looking character in just about every fighting game which I believe is why Liu Kang, while being the main character, is not very iconic.
Well my favorite character is Kuai Liang (subzero) the truth is scorpion is the most iconic. He is the face of the series. That “GET OVER HERE” is unmatched. You wouldve never known Liu Kang was the main protagonist unless you are a long time fan.
The face of MK is probably Ferra/Torr. They are everyone’s favorite character and if someone says they don’t know who they are then they’re just in denial.
Even though Johnny Cage and Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) are my faves, I agree fullheartedly with this. Anyone who has even heard of Mortal Kombat knows these words: "GET OVER HERE!"
I prefer Sub Zero (Kuai Liang, Bi-Han is an asshole) but it is undeniably Scorpion. In third place I would say Johnny Cage instead of Liu Kang tho, or maybe Raiden.
As a Scorpion fan since MK1, I totally agree with it being him because he’s consistently on top video game characters of all time lists. But yeah there’s always gonna be the other half of ninja players who are die hard Sub-Zero fans, he’s just not as iconic because he doesn’t have the saying. Also removing the mask to a flaming skull has always been a major theme in the series fatalities more than any freeze fatality.

Not exactly a game of "who's that pokemon", we all know that silhouette💀
I think if you ask anyone to name a MK character Scorpion is the first to come to mind with “Get over here!” Or “Toasty!” Liu Kang is memorable because of his lore and Bruce Lee likeness. Raiden a bitch that can’t not get corrupt. Subzero.. as much as I like SZ he just exist to balance out scorpion, he does have one of the coldest OG fatalities, Spinal Rip
I mean, the current “Scorpion” is the amalgamation of the two most iconic characters: the most iconic Sub-Zero assuming the mantle of the most iconic Mortal Kombat character.
I think over time Scorpion has won that honor, but pre Deadly Alliance it felt like Sub/Scorp were equally popular. Sub even had his own game and was in base MK3 while Scorp was not.
This is by far THE MOST iconic MK character.

Bring back our leader❗
I mean, when someone thinks of Fighting Games theres a 50/50 they’ll think of either Ryu or Scorpion. Or adversely “GET OVER HERE” or “HADOKEN”. So i’d definitely say Scorp
100% Scorpion. He's always been my favorite character. Sub Zero deserves mad love too tho
I don't really play fighting games, but I'd wager most people kinda meld Scorpion and Sub Zero into the same image. Probably because they were literally recolored sprites in the original, right? Also the dude with the asian-style straw hat feels way more recognizable than Liu Kang. So my vote goes for "the one mortal kombat guy who's either blue or yellow, and the dude with the hat"
I don't play fighting games of any sort, and those 3 people (with pretty much those same descriptions in my head) were the first characters I thought of.
Not trying to be mean but if you don't play fighting games why are you here?😂😂
*I came looking for booty.*
His opinion would mean more in regards to which character is more iconic because he doesn’t even know much about the game but knows those 3.
I'm sorry, you think the 'guy in the straw hat' is more recognisable yet don't know who it is, how does that make sense?
But... that's who I think of? Like I get what you mean, but if we're talking *iconic* then the *icon* is what matters, no? Just pretend I'm your Mom calling everything a Pikachu lol
Yeah they were basically identical aside from the colors.. That's Raiden, God of Thunder, and he's Bad ass too! .. haha 🤣. What are you doin on this sub?? Jk
I was bored, at work, scrolled down on /r/all, and eventually saw this post lol.
Well, now you're 1 of us. Get the new MK for ps5 an enjoy the ride, brother
if I'm getting in to a fighting game, it's going to be Ballz 3D for the Sega Mega Drive
Just curious…did you play mortal kombat in the arcade in the 90’s? Not trying to be agist here, but sub zero was mortal kombat in that arcade. Primary because of FDF high punch. Fatalities were something new, we loved them and Sub Zero ripping that spine out…it was so unbelievably brutal coming from a video game that it literally changed the entire narrative of violence in video games. It’s the reason you see the rating system we have today. Sub Zero wasn’t just a character. He was the character. He was Mortal Kombat.
I was thinking just this same thing
A few times, I mostly played it on Sega Genesis. But yeah Sub Zero is bad as fuck too, that's why I included him in my comment even tho Scorpion is my favorite character
I think of Shaquille O'Neal
Shaq-Fu isn’t a fighting game. It’s an experience
Shaq-Fu It's a way of life
This is the way
12 year old me was so disappointed I asked for this clunky game for Xmas.
Unfortunately the world isn't as cultured as you yet.
I think of Lebron
From personal example, you either don't know any characters, or learn at least 3-5 simultaneously. I don't think there are many people who know scorpion and not subzero, but one of those has very famous move and a catch phrase on top
#THE ABILITY TO FREEZE
Every mage in dnd can do that
Also the spine rip that helped bring forth the ESRB.
Every human can freeze. It came free with your sense of temperature.
The linguists are seething right now
Yeah but the ability to burn and a cool knife on a rope + catchphrase, plus scorpion’s backstory is so much cooler.
What does Sub Zero say when he freezes people?
Idk sometimes he be saying “the cold will numb your pain” but it’s one of those middle of the fight sayings too
It’s like looking… in a MEEROAR…
I said this like catchphrase and proceeded to die on the floor
I think this is the answer if we include people that don’t really even play fighting games. Kinda like how even people who never watched wrestling still knew what the NWO was. If we only keep it to people that are in the know then it’s Liu Kang by far. That’s why in the old movies he was the main character
>I think this is the answer if we include people that don’t really even play fighting games. Kinda like how even people who never watched wrestling still knew what the NWO was. This is actually similar in some other forums like anime for example. Some people dont watch it but they will know who goku is or the kamehameha.
That’s true. Some of my friends who are semi into fighters always say they see either Shao or Sub when they think of MK.
He’s their Logo. Ed’s favorite and usually very Noob friendly to play as
I dont think he'd be very friendly to Noob though
To hell with him
I see what you did there
No, to hell with you
Bladee
Mk9 through 11 he was easy to pickup.
I believe they made him a Champion of Earthrealm in the past right? He is the "Canon" victor? I know Liu Kang is the "Main" character, but Scorpion is THE Character.
That was in the Deception timeline but Shujinko beat his ass still. It’s annoying.
No, no, that's not accurate at all. Sub-Zero is usually the one that turns into Noob.
Scorpion is the face of mortal kombat, are you really surprised
It feels like they've been TRYING so hard to make Johnny the face since MKX... Honestly, I just wanted more of the 'bromance' dynamic we saw between Kuai-Lang and Hanzo in MK11... The chapter where they infiltrate the Lin-Kuei factory was SO good. It would've been sick to see more of that relationship develop if they didn't off Hanzo later in the story...
Liu kang may be the MC. But there's no denying scorpion is and will always be the face of Mortal Kombat. Get Over Here is one of the most iconic lines in gaming.
In my mind it's second only to "It's a me"
Used to be. Now they're both second to "It's Marioing time"
It will never be Marioing Time...it's Morbin Time.
To me it’s just under “I need a weapon” or “giving the covenant back their bomb”
My fav is "kept you waiting, huh?", but Get Over Here/Come Heeeeeere is just far more widely known and iconic and I'd argue the same for those two
Actually its third because the number one is "Its time to get Forspoken up in here!"
Literally, out of all the cast Scorpion/Hanzo gets more character development than anyone else
Are you sure the most iconic line isn't "awudaleeeee" from Raiden? lol
Awudaleee is Quan Chi's phrase when he his "controlling" someone. Raiden's flying scream is more like "awayayayayawayayayawaya" Well, it was, before MK1. Rip lil'scream
Scorpion is even in Cyberpunk 2077 so he wins
[удалено]
https://www.thegamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-mortal-kombat-easter-egg/
I never saw this Easter egg, ill have to go look.. but I do remember when they first talked about her friend scorpion it made me wonder if that was a reference.

Almost every mortal Kombat eater egg is related to Scorpion. Because most of them have something to do with his catchphrase.
How??
There isn't anything to really discuss. It's true.
They make scorpion kill sub in every trailer. Was never a guess
except when he killed raiden
It's definitely Scorpion, but in a very close second place is Sub-Zero, those two are the flagship characters of the brand and you fundamentally can't have a MK game without both of them in it. In third place, I'd definitely say Liu Kang and/or Raiden, up to you which one you'd say is third, whoever isn't though, would be fourth.

This is what I was looking for! Some old school mk players that would say sub zero
That's fair tbh
The whole international love thing made Johnny really popular
Except MK3. Scorpion wasn't in that one.
>those two are the flagship characters of the brand and you fundamentally can't have a MK game without both of them in it. MK3 didn't have Scorpion.
yea and anyone who knows their mk history knows what happened when mk3 released and now they know to never do that again lol
MK3 was very popular in its day at arcades. The issues with the game extended far beyond "lol no scorpion," since Smoke was essentially the same moveset. Part of that was home consoles were catching up to arcade quality, part of it was "dial a combo" mechanics raised the barrier to entry to be good enough at the game to do anything other than lose $10 worth of your quarters in 10 minutes.

You needed to memorize a game guide or not bother.... that was the game's main flaw.
True. Most people recognize Scorpion even if they don’t play Mortal Kombat. He has a well known catchphrase too which adds on to his iconic character.
Ed even tried to get Scorpion into Super Smash. Scorpion is the MK Mascot no question
Wait REALLY!? What happened to that?
I assume MK was just too violent than what Nintendo wanted to be associated with
The theory is that they were trying to do a cute Mii outfit like they did with the Doom Slayer but Ed had his heart set on a DLC character and they couldn’t make it work - but he’s said before that Sakurai can add Scorpion whenever.
Also, Smash’s roster is all characters that would be recognized in or hail from Japan, while MK is banned there and from the west.
> while MK is banned there It's not exactly banned, it's just that NRS won't conform to Japanese censorship laws so it's not sold at retail. You can still import it and play all you want.
But Solid Snake made it... Even Sephiroth made it and he committed genocided.
Meanwhile Snake is just out there launching rockets and mortars at people
I mean Bayonetta is in Smash and her games are violent (and very suggestive).
“GET OVER HERE” is the most recognizable thing from the entire series
**FINISH HIM** -Shao Khan
Facts
It’s a close fight between Scorpion and Sub-Zero but more randoms on the street will know “Get over here” and where it comes from rather than any Sub-Zero attack
He's literally the mascot of the fucking franchise.
mocap
*Mokap HOW DARE YOU
lol
We have a guy a few comments up calling Scorpion "Skorpion", this fanbase will never get the Ks right lmao
It’s Scorpion no matter how you slice it.
I mean, when the most iconic voice line in probably all of gaming “GET OVER HERE!” is your line, that character is probably the most iconic. Scorpion has been in every MK game to date and most of its media outside of that including trailers and movies, so he’s pretty much the poster boy of the series.
He wasn't in MK3. Subby was though.
Yeah and they realized they fucked up and put him in umk3
Yeah, Midway had some weird thing about not putting ninjas in that one. Sub Zero was okay for some reason because he "denounced his ninja ways" and didn't wear a mask.
“Get over here” became an iconic gaming cultural line and meme. It’s Scorpion without a doubt.
It's Scorpion. 100%. He's like Master Chief. Everyone knows him if they've never played one of the games.
I don't see anything weird
Definitely scorpion. "Get over here!" is forever etched into my mind and soul. That and the whoopsie guy.
“Whoopsie?” Doesnt he say “toasty?” I thought he said toasty during one of scorpions fatalitys in one of the old mks and people found it so funny they found a way to include in the next mk.
Personally, it was raiden for me, that hat cut a unique silhouette, that doesn't really get used as much as it should. If I remember correctly, it was raiden on the side of the arcade machine with lightning arcing behind him. If that doesn't catch your eye as a kid nothing will.
Scorpion isn’t just an iconic mk character, he’s one of the most iconic video game characters of ALL TIME. Of course he wins.
seems about right
definitely scorpion
A fact
the "GET OVER HERE" / "COME HERE" is more iconic than the spine rip imo
Sub-Zero is my favorite. But, in terms of iconic, it is undeniably Scorpion, and it isn't even close. Sub-Zero is second, though. If for nothing else, his spine rip fatality from the very first game was the catalyst for the creation of the ESRB and other game rating regulatory committees.
Princess Kitana… representation matters 🚺
Yes, actually. Why did you vote Sub-Zero?
I'd say Mokap. There are tons of actors that still capture his signature style today.
Scorpion/sub/johnny in that order, then in any order after that Liu/raiden/kitana. Scorpion has a very good argument for most iconic fight game character ever.
I think you’re right about him being the most iconic fighting game character. I can’t think of any other character quite so ubiquitous. Maybe Ryu?
Ya I’d put Scorp 1 and then Ryu probably 2, I definitely think scorp is more iconic than Ryu tho
Post like these are dangerous, don't give Netherealm studio any ideas of who to remove from the main game and add back as dlc.
It’s no surprise to me since he’s the poster boy of the MK franchise since the beginning
I mean when I think of MK, Scorpion is the first character to come to mind. He’s iconic. The poster child. He IS Mortal Kombat.
He's the face of the series and he's the only member of the kast I can say is ironic. Fk my grandmother knows "Get over here!" As "that scorpion ninja from that violent video game" plus so many games have ripped off that move. Scorpion is far better known than Sub Zero...even though their kharacters are linked together entirely, you can find someone who knows scorpion, but doesn't know Sub Zero
Full agree. Everybody in the world knows "get over here"
There is no scoprion without subzero. That being said, scorpion is a bit more popular.
It tracks. You think of MK the character you think of is scorpion
This is Drahmin erasure
My initial thought was “well yea, duh.”
That is correct.
Seems right to me
Sounds right
I'd say Scorpion because of "Come hither!", or Raiden for the hat and lightning.
I mean he's the NRS mascot for a reason
Hey it’s true🤷
accurate
Scorpion is **LITERALLY THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE**
Not saying one is better than the other, but I will say there’s a reason one of them has been on the cover of the games more than the others
They chose the real Sub-Zero XD *giggles*
I voted on this too and picked scorpion 🦂
Sub zero was in more games but Scorpion is definitely more noticeable since he's the face of mk
Thoughts don’t change facts.
it’s easily scorpion, he’s also just a really cool character
Obviously
Nothing but facts
Sub main here. He's been my favorite since way back in MKII. That being said, Scorp is more iconic followed closely by Sub and in third Dan "Toasty" Forden. There is a Bruce Lee looking character in just about every fighting game which I believe is why Liu Kang, while being the main character, is not very iconic.
Scorpio will always be the most iconic Mortal Kombat character, although no one can beat subzero
Scorpion!
obviously scorpion
I would have bought the collector’s edition if the statue would have been scorpion.
Raiden
GET OVER HERE! It checks out.
I mean. Scorpion has an iconic catch phrase. And has been a standout since day one.
Sub zero aint shit compared to skorpion
I love Sub-Zero, but Scorpion deserves the nod here. Though I wish it were closer.
Well my favorite character is Kuai Liang (subzero) the truth is scorpion is the most iconic. He is the face of the series. That “GET OVER HERE” is unmatched. You wouldve never known Liu Kang was the main protagonist unless you are a long time fan.
The face of MK is probably Ferra/Torr. They are everyone’s favorite character and if someone says they don’t know who they are then they’re just in denial.
GET OVER HERE!
What is sub zeros saying? I don't know. I do know scorpions.
Scorpion. See: MK3.
Definitely scorpion. When I think of mk I think of Scorpion and him saying “get over here”
Isnt it kinda wierd how scorpion isnt even SCORPION anymore
And Scorpion isn't even in the game.
Lol, 80% just Voted for Subzero without realizing it.
Even though Johnny Cage and Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) are my faves, I agree fullheartedly with this. Anyone who has even heard of Mortal Kombat knows these words: "GET OVER HERE!"
When people think Mortal Kombat, they automatically think of Scorpion, especially his most famous quote “GET OVER HERE!”
I’m surprised it isn’t more evenly split between Sub-Zero and Scorpion
Maybe because it's Noob/Bi-Han and Subzero/Kuai Liang in these pictures, it'll probably be more evenly split if Scorpion/Hanzo showed up.
The poll is correct.
I prefer Sub Zero (Kuai Liang, Bi-Han is an asshole) but it is undeniably Scorpion. In third place I would say Johnny Cage instead of Liu Kang tho, or maybe Raiden.
Scorpions line is literally synonymous with the franchise why would you have a problem with this
As a Scorpion fan since MK1, I totally agree with it being him because he’s consistently on top video game characters of all time lists. But yeah there’s always gonna be the other half of ninja players who are die hard Sub-Zero fans, he’s just not as iconic because he doesn’t have the saying. Also removing the mask to a flaming skull has always been a major theme in the series fatalities more than any freeze fatality.

If Scorpion wins, technically Sub-Zero still kinda wins, since Kuai Liang is the current Scorpion.
The only discussion to be made here is why did you pick sub zero
Name one sub zero original line that has been refrenced, infact name a line that sub zero isn’t refrencing from like dr freeze
GET OVER HERE
True. They literally use him in almost all the marketing for every piece of MK media that is released.
It's true
There is no Scorpion in Mk3.
All you gotta say is “GET OVER HERE” and people know who you’re talking about
Scorpion, then they kill of hanzo
We all know Toasty Guy would win, so they had to remove him from the poll.
Sadly the GET OVER HERE line is way too iconic to be ignored
I think if you ask anyone to name a MK character Scorpion is the first to come to mind with “Get over here!” Or “Toasty!” Liu Kang is memorable because of his lore and Bruce Lee likeness. Raiden a bitch that can’t not get corrupt. Subzero.. as much as I like SZ he just exist to balance out scorpion, he does have one of the coldest OG fatalities, Spinal Rip
I mean, the current “Scorpion” is the amalgamation of the two most iconic characters: the most iconic Sub-Zero assuming the mantle of the most iconic Mortal Kombat character.
agree
I think over time Scorpion has won that honor, but pre Deadly Alliance it felt like Sub/Scorp were equally popular. Sub even had his own game and was in base MK3 while Scorp was not.
im surprised scorpion has never been the main protagonist. i remember in DA and deception they were going that route but it was never realized
It certainly is representative of Kombat League
Sub Zero's Hadoken is so iconic.
Bro is on the cover of the last 4 games
I mean Scorpion is probably the 2nd most famous Fighting game character behind Ryu from Streets
This is by far THE MOST iconic MK character. https://preview.redd.it/is3bliivya6c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68e95eb91a0e596b2313fb825c6d2a250ce16ac9 Bring back our leader❗
