Scorpion is a recurring player character and occasional boss character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. His debut is in the first Mortal Kombat game. He has a nice story (not the best but very good) he's fun to play in every mk game and is also the face of one of the best selling fighting games of all time
"Get over here! "
Scorpion is the strongest in every fighting game just thing about it
Yeah, a character that iconic easily deserves his place in this top ten list. What else could I say? "Come here. "
Most of all is signature moves are legendary moves. - Johnnyrp666
2 Ryu - Street Fighter
Ryu is a video game player character created by Capcom, the protagonist of the Street Fighter series.
Ryu is a video game player character created by Capcom, the protagonist of the Street Fighter series. Haha Scorpion is so good he doesn't even need a master, Ryu is a dick who got betrayed by Akuma
Ryu isn't look like great, scorpion is terrible but I liked his swag of fighting games
How is Scorpion higher, he's just some dead ninja designed for angsty teenagers who love blood. Ryu is a genuine hero, Scorpion just gets manipulated over and over again, that stupid dumbass.
The fighter on which all other fighters were based on, along with Ken, which is further down on the list for some reason.

Jin Kazama is a fictional character and main protagonist of the Tekken series released by Namco Bandai Games. We all have played fighting games (either tekken, either street fighter, either both or something else) but it's certain that we all have played and loved tekken as well as Jin...especially most gamers have identified with this epic character!
He is amazing and hot what else?
He can transform into Devil Jin and he'll beat you up like no one else. I'd like to see scorpion take on him in devil form
Jin is the most handsome and powerful character that I have seen

Sub-Zero is a video game character from the Mortal Kombat series and one of the original characters in the first Mortal Kombat game in 1992. A mainstay of the series, Sub-Zero is the only character who has appeared in every main Mortal Kombat fighting game. Sub Zero is just cool, I'm surprised that he isn't in the top 5(Remember I wrote this in Nov. 30th, 2018) as he is basically the Poster Boy of Mortal Kombat with Scorpion. I'm surprised that Characters like Fulgore, Cinder, Shadow Jago, and Glacius from Killer instinct aren't even in the top 10.
Come on guys, scorpion is #1 he should be at least 5 - wren6
He could above from guile
Sub-Zero is the Granmaster

Kano is my favourite character in Mortal Kombat and in my opinion the best character in Mortal Kombat. Kano is the most bad ass character that plays by his own rules while leading the Black Dragons and can shoot a laser out of his eye. Plus how awesome is that metal plate on his face, which I gave to my created character in MKA. I think Kano should be ranked 1.
He one of the worst guy in fighting game history there I said it - s646463
Never understood why players jumped to calling Kano 'lame' or weak. I've used them, they're neither; In my opinion hating a fight game charcter because they're an antagonist or their rival is female is a lame reason.
Kano have dead one eye, of eye he is me red shine. Kano is shine eye to push up laser and he is werry speed, bodylifting and great power. Kano is saka to heart in body. He is red and black costeem.
