One of Scorpion's main combo starters is his Spear (BF1). This move drags the opponent towards Scorpion, leaving them in a stunned state. This is usually followed up with F+3,2 which will launch the opponent up for a combo. Repeated use of F+3,2 will keep the opponent juggled within combos. Spear can be used once again to end the combo, leaving the opponent at Scorpion's feet.

F+3,2 can also be used as a combo starter. If Spear connects with the opponent during the combo, it'll keep them standing and allow for a follow-up attack. After restanding the opponent, using 3,3 into Devouring Flame (BF4) will deal good damage while granting +13 hit advantage.

For higher damage, combos can be extended with a jump attack U+F+1,2 into (Air Close) Enhanced Kyo Sang (DB2+EX). This can be followed with a jump attack 1,1,1 just before landing and extended with Spear. However, these combos are a bit more difficult to execute.
