At what point did Scorpion become more popular than Sub Zero?

[Mr. Manhattan]

i remember distinctly Sub Zero being the most popular MK character.. Somehow Scorpion came through and took over that throne

Not gonna front tho Scorpion >>>> sub Zero

 

[Dragonfly Jones]

I always thought Lui Kang was the most popular character then the title went to Scorpion


But to answer ur questions, its probably because Sub Zero has no famous catch phrases

 

[Omar Little]

Never.

Really Really, dude had their preferences, Scorpion was dope, but I always felt Sub-Zeros overall swag and 2 or 3 more effective moves gave him that edge.

 

[ORDER_66]

I think ever since the first mortal kombat movie shyt went overboard.... and the way he was basically whipping johnny cages ass...

 

[Infamous45]

Scorpion was always better because of his story, most though he was a bad guy until they realize his true motive

 

[Cuban Pete]

boon is a scorpion stan and been pushing him for years as the main but i remember sub being that dude too

 

[SuikodenII]

Scorpion was that dude until he wasn't included in MK3............. UMK3 fixed that mistake

 

[The_Sheff]

Scorpion and Sub Zero were equal from what I remember but Scorpion is Boon's favorite character so he has received a push in recent years.

 

[thaKEAF]

Since he had the coolest catch phrases ever

 

[newarkhiphop]

Idk growing up I remember scorpion being more popular

 

[Kingshango]

Scorpion has the GOAT catchphrase that has gotten stuck in the minds of players for 20 years.

Only thing Sub Zero had over Scorpion was his own game and it was.

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

It's already been mentioned

boon is a scorpion stan and been pushing him for years as the main but i remember sub being that dude too

Around the time of MK Deception is when I wanna say he started to get a major push

 

[AkaDemiK]

I think ever since the first mortal kombat movie shyt went overboard.... and the way he was basically whipping johnny cages ass...

one of the main reasons why I would always watch it as a youngin....when he popped up in the forrest...."get over here"....

 

[Nephilim_BC]

Scorpion aint nothin but a Ken/Luigi/Shawn Wayan/Robin/etc

Subzero forever nikkas

 

[gtj1982]

Sub zero was the man, is the man and will always be the man

Imagine a boss wearing yellow tights
