death doesn't have to be met, optional. Loss via KO is by countdown to 5 seconds.

Battle site: open grass plains

They may use all their attacks or powers.

All this time I thought Scorpion was one of the top tier fighters in Mortal Kombat.

He's really not. He's mid tier along with Sub-Zero.

The idea that being in the Netherrealm increases his power constantly is also BS, he had been hanging around in the Netherrealm for quite a while before Raiden showed up yet Raiden beat his a*** like a red headed step child and had enough gas in the tank to plow through shadow copies of several other fighters and accidentally kill Liu Kang. Scorpion in the Netherrealm after so long isn't even enough to be an inconvenience.

I guess the rate his power increases is so slow that spending months at a time in there barely does anything, or it goes at a fixed rate and it's so small at this point that it's almost barely there at all.

It could also simply be that he has a limit in the Netherrealm and his strength cannot grow further after that. Once more, Ryu puts in more effort in the Netherrealm, likely needing to transform, but still beats Scorpion because Scorpion is really not all that tough and even on his best of days, Noob Saibot, Sindel, Nightwolf, Liu Kang, and Goro(to name a few) can crush him.

Really funny that the single most identifiable character in MK is Mid-Tier power wise, you'd think he'd get a push eventually...

Ryu's pretty easy to identify but he isn't in the same tier as Akuma and a few others, lol.

I thought Evil Ryu was top tier? Regardless, Ryu is more or less the main focus, Scorpion isn't. He seems badass and powerful at first but then he gets jobbed by Raiden and becomes irrelevant.

He is, around Akuma at the least and Akuma stalemated Oro (they both were holding back but they're pretty tough as it is). A hypothetical Ryu post 3rd Strike could surpass all of them given he's training with Oro in the art of senjutsu.
