Talk:Scorpion VS Ryu/@comment-6533831-20141005232405/@comment-5035900-20141005233419

The technical term is a wraith, but as for fighting Shao Kahn and Superman, the latter case is non-canon and the former has never occured (to my knowledge). Yes, Scorpion can defeat him in arcade mode, but that's not the same as a true canon battle, and not to mention any other character in the game can do the same.

Now am I saying Scorpion is a weak Mortal Kombat character? Far from it; he's high up there, but he has yet to reach Liu Kang-status by defeating Shao Kahn or even Shang Tsung.
