Evo on Friday. Harada is a well known troll, but this is so on the nose and Akuma was in T7 so it's possible they want another crossover character. Could be interesting for sure.
Harada teasing Scorpion for Tekken 8….. maybe

He already said they won't do any guest characters in the first year.

Loves his juicy stink trail scent
Surprised he would pick scorpion. Someone like Liu Kang would fit better for his moveset so you don't end up with the insanity of Akuma in T7.
If he's teleporting, lighting feet on fire, and hitting you with a spear full screen safely to stun pull you in…. Idk man. Sounds OP.

I hate guest characters...

Akuma was absolutely broken and carried scrubby pro players like Super Akouma. I will take literally any other guest character over him. Geese was cool, strong but not broken.

Scorpion in MultiVersus would be hype. Scorpion in Tekken would be a fucking tragedy.

Hope they do him better visual justice than what NRS did with their scorpion. They made the most iconic character look bland as fuck.

Eh, don't get the negativity. I love Scorpion, and Tekken would probably make him funner to play than NRS does, just as they made Akuma in Tekken 7 not only one of the most fun characters in the game to play, but he's also one of the most fun Akuma's to play in general, of all his numerous game appearances. Then again, I love guest characters and don't understand why people bitch and whine about them so much. Just gives a little bit of that crossover flavor to any game. I personally loved how weird 7 got with the roster, other than Noctis as Tifa would have made far more sense, so I kinda hope they get weird with this one too, at least a little. I hope Tifa shows up in 8, alongside Scorpion and whatever other weird fuckin characters they can jam in there.

My only issue is balancing. Akuma in t7 was completely broken. I agree that Scorp in Tekken would probably be more fun than any MK game since like mk9. Geese was handled well.

advanced basic bitch
Tifa or bust
Liu Kang would feel like "another Law" to a lot of people. So it makes sense to skip him and Johnny Cage. Scorpion is the mascot of MK right now, so from a business perspective, it would make sense to use him.
As for him being completely broken/too OP... well... they have to somehow sell the DLC characters. Lidia appears to be too OP from the base cast, and Eddy was too OP when he came out. As a general rule, expect ALL DLC characters to be too OP whenever they come out.

Only Leroy and Farukman (or w/e) were busted in t7. They got nerfed pretty fast too. Most of the DLC characters were bottom tier like Noctis and Negan.

As cool as that'd be I can't see it ever happening. I have a feeling Harada doesn't want to see Kazuya or Jin be disemboweled, decapitated, melted, or bludgeoned to death. Same reason why you'll never get a street fighter character in Mortal Kombat, even though Bison would make perfect sense as it doesn't matter how many times he dies, he can't really die, but I still don't see it ever happening.

I literally played Akuma like it was Street Fighter 4 and it was nuts lmao

How about you give us Lei Wulong (my main since he debuted in Tekken fucking 2) instead of MK characters that don't fit (or belong in) the game. I would love to buy and play this game sometime this generation.

Tekken 7 had fuckin Noctis and the bad guy from the Walking Dead.
