During mortal kombat 4 Scorpion defeated sub zero for the last time but learned about quan chi being responsible for his misery where he took him to hell and tortured him until mortal kombat deadly alliance.

Also Sub zero has the powers of a god now with his dragon amulet and scorpion was made a soldier of the elder gods during MK deception.

So to say that neither of those guys could beat any of the other people is kind of dumb.
OK - I stand corrected. Admittedly, my knowledge of Mortal Kombat is a little vague before 'Deadly Alliance.'

I was also unaware of Scorpion defeating Quan Chi' (along with the other details of Scorpion/Sub-Zero that you provided.....nice job by the way ).

My "rationale" for ranking Quan Chi ahead of Sub-Zero and Scorpion, was the fact that he defeated Shang Tsung after they collectively defeated Raiden. Since Sub Zero and Scorpion were working for Shang Tsung (in MK1 the movie...I didn't differentiate video game storylines from movie storylines), I figured that it automatically made Quan Chi' superior.

Your reasoning however does make sense (the producers of MK have gone on record stating the Scorpion is one of their favourite characters). It would only be fitting that Scorpion (and Sub Zero) be given greater roles.
