Okay, we need to clear this up, the Mortal Kombat character should be called Skorpion and not Scorpion

[MGPanda]

Everything has a "K" in this goddamn series. Kombat, Konquer, Skarlet, Kitana, Kabal, Kano, Kotal Kahn, The Krypt, Kollector. But then what's arguably the main and most famous character in the series is called Scorpion. We need to fight against this ruthless tyranny and make Ed Boon change his mind. Not for us, but for the sake of future generations.

 

[Equanimity]

I have good taste and he should be called Scorpion.

 

[Rommaz]

Uhmmmmm....never thought of that, but I agree

 

[gitrektali]

No joke, but I thought he was called Skorpion for a long time, despite playing most of MK titles.

 

[The Unsent]

Mortal Combat is a good game.

 

[DopeyFish]

Poor Johnny Cage being ignored

 

[AceAlli]

Putting aside how far this series has come and how dumb it'd be to make that change now, I agree that Skorpion is better, but if they changed him now they'd probably go sideways and make it "Squorpion" or "Sqorpion" or some other nonsense just to deliver more chaos into this world.

 

[Techno]

You say that but then Johnny Cage exists bruh.

Lets dance!

 

[Garrod Ran]

only words that START with C should get changed to K

that's why Mokap was exiled

Johnny gets to be the exception

 

[Remk NG]

There's Johnny Cage, so he should remain as Scorpion not everything has to have a k

 

[Gestault]

I kan't agree with this.

 

[5taquitos]

Smoke should be Smoce

 

[Goldenroad]

Only if Kano gets changed to Cano.

 

[Techno]

They should rename Kable to Cable, then we can get Josh Brolin in MK12.

Skarlet?

Skarlet?

a terrible mistake on their end

 

[Swiggins]

Then I'll get him confused with the Russian SMG.

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

no.

 

[GlitchyDegree]

Call me krazy with a K, but I agree. They should also change Johnny and Cassie's last name to Kage.

no.

Darn :(

He plays by his own rules.

no.

 

[AstronaughtE]

Why would they spell a word wrong on purpose?

 

[Holygriever]

Call me krazy with a K, but I agree. They should also change Johnny and Cassie's last name to Kage.

You mean Kassie Kage?

What about Cetrion?

That's not a hard C.

Moving the goalposts! (I agree 😃 )

Correct, her name should be Kassie Kage.

 

[Cantaim]

no.

Click to shrink...

What if we say please this time

 

[ManNR]

They need to kut that ridikulous K out of every freacing word except Kombat. Nothing irks me quite like hearing the word Koin in my head.

 

[Garrod Ran]

What about Cetrion?

Click to shrink...

see that brings up weird issues with words that start with a soft c and not a hard c

like a circle is not called a kircle in this world

 

[MGPanda]

no.

You're clearly just afraid of how impossible it would be to balance a game around a character with such raw power as Skorpion! I understand the hesitation, but believe me, it is for the greater good. We can't keep living on a Skorpion-less world.

 

[808s & Villainy]

nah

 

[tapedeck]

You've fundamentally misunderstood the use of 'K' in Mortal Kombat. 'C's can still exist in certain scenarios deemed appropriate by Mr. Boon.

Also Cyrax is one of greatest MK names ever.

 

[Cokomon]

What about Cyrax?

Checkmate, athiests.

 

[Issen]

I'm not konvinced this needed klearing up.

 

[Noppie]

Shit poll is shit.

 

[Djalminha]

They should. If you google scorpion, you get an insect. If they changed it, it'd be better branding in this modern, crazy times.

 

[Trisc]

The general rule is, words beginning with hard-Cs are replaced with Ks. The Cages are the exception.

Poor Johnny Cage being ignored

Click to shrink...

Correct, her name should be Kassie Kage.

One of Cassie's intros in MK11 has her carry an offbrand Starbucks cup into the fight. "Kassie Cassie" is written on the side.

 

[Teh_Lurv]

I think the unofficial rule is 'K's replace 'C's for anything that originates from Outworld. So in Outworld you can wager on Mortal Kombat with Koins to earn winnings to pay back the Kollector.

 

[Ferrio]

What about Cetrion?

Ketrion, No Exceptions!

I'll give Johnny Kage up but has to be pronounced like like SFV character.

 

[Zen]

I don't think Scorpion is that edgy lol

 

[Compbros]

I would hate Johnny Cage being Johnny Kage and I would hate this!

 

[NickatNite]

I don't have any taste whatsoever, so Scorpion seems fine to me!

 

[Pyro]

Yes it should, Ed Boon himself makes the greatest argument up on the spot (4:21 if video doesn't load at that point).

Adding K instead of C to words has always given me low-key Klan vibes... like a way for a business to dog whistle other Klan members.... At least that's how it's always felt in the South...
