I'll explain later, watching anime now. Until then, that Scorpion reboot is HOT.

If this is like Shaolin Monks with Scorpion as the main character it would be amazing.

No reason you couldn't explain now. Not a long story. It's concept art from a guy who used to be at Midway who pitched a reboot to the series that Midway didn't go for.

I like the art work he proposed, the back stories? not so much. Most of the ones I read involved special forces(like there aren't enough special forces characters in fighting games as it is..)

Looks like it would have been a pure hack-n-slash style game or just a ninja/swords theme. That Scorpion does look amazing.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible, but they made an early 90s character even more early 90sish.

Nah, he would need impractically large shoulder pads, and lots and lots of pouches for that.

Scorpion as a wraith wearing the yellow blood of the demon that helped him resurrected to exact his revenge against his mortal enemy.
Dunno, think that's pretty badass.

It would be MK 9 not 10.

Almost, but the art needs to be some kind of poor man's jim lee as well.

Fuck, there is this hilarious picture of Cable, but I couldn't find it, so you get Popeye. Get off me.

Cable in the 90's always had 12 foot shoulder pads and a gun bigger than mystic tenshi. Was ridiculous.

That was mean, but I don't care right now.

There is this parody pic, like I mentioned. It's Cable in his original outfit, except he's like 9 feet tall, 6 feet wide, probably 600 pounds of roid muscle with a pinhead, all white eyes, tiny little badly drawn feet, shoulder pads bigger than his head, pouches all over and a massive 300 pound gun. Oh, and the gun has pouches too.

Did he also have those funky boots that everyone had in the 90s where it goes outward at the knee?

Also, it might not have been a parody pic. Might of just been Rob Liefield.

No to the boots. There was a caption stating its comedic nature, iirc.
