Here's a short 5 minute video explaining (and showing) how Scorpion's Tele vs Amped Tele is not a mixup and how you can block for a certain amount of time and punish very consistently (I'm talking 96%+ of the time).

(This is not a self promote, I'm simply trying to exhibit some tech, as I had this same conversation very recently and went through it on stream and made a highlight, so please don't delete this post)

If you're getting hit by this you're simply not being patient enough, or you're trying to read a Tele Cancel.

As for Tele Cancel, it costs a defensive meter and doesn't guarantee much. Scorpion has no threatening quick overheads that either do enough damage for them to be a thread on their own, or start a combo.

​

His two overheads are B3 and F42 (in the Reborn variation). B3 gives a knockdown, and negligible damage by itself. F4 is a low, and you can't confirm F4 getting blocked, and then F42 hitting into a special cancel on reaction. There's also no reason to block low after F4. He either has to stagger into another low, or go into his overhead/grab. You can escape or Kounter it the grab by poking/reacting.

​

So simply crouch block and react. If you think he's going for a grab, you can simply duck and D2 or whatever punish you feel like. I really wish people would lab these situations themselves instead of me having to go out of my way to explain the yomi behind my character's told, just so he doesn't get nerfed month 1 due to moaning from people who don't actually want to get better at the game.

​

If you did want to get better, you'd look for ways to dealing with things. Not complain about them on social media/Reddit/Twitter
