MK11 || Sub-zero vs Scorpion || Fighting Game

Описание: Ah, the ultimate rivalry. Whether you're a "Get over here!" fan or more of a "stay frosty" strategist, the history between Scorpion (Hanzo Hasashi) and Sub-Zero (Bi-Han/Kuai Liang) is arguably the most complex soap opera in gaming history—just with more spine-ripping.
Here is the breakdown of how these two went from sworn enemies to the "Fire and Ice" duo.
1. The Origin: A Tale of Two Clans
The rivalry didn't start with the individuals, but with their clans.
The Lin Kuei (Sub-Zero): A Chinese clan of assassins.
The Shirai Ryu (Scorpion): A Japanese clan founded by a Lin Kuei defector (which the Lin Kuei took very personally).
2. The Tragedy of Bi-Han (The First Sub-Zero)
In the events leading up to the first Mortal Kombat (1992), the sorcerer Quan Chi hired both Bi-Han and Hanzo Hasashi to find an ancient map. Bi-Han killed Hanzo in cold blood.
The Twist: Quan Chi then wiped out Hanzo’s family and clan while disguised as Sub-Zero.
The Vengeance: Hanzo was resurrected as the hellspawn Scorpion. He eventually caught up with Bi-Han during the first tournament and killed him.
3. The Second Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang)
In Mortal Kombat II, a "new" Sub-Zero appeared. This was Kuai Liang, Bi-Han's younger brother.
Scorpion initially tried to kill him too, but when he saw Kuai Liang spare an opponent's life, he realized this wasn't the same "cold-blooded" man who killed him.
For a time, Scorpion actually became a self-appointed guardian for the younger Sub-Zero to atone for killing his brother.
4. The Alliance (The Modern Era)
After decades of "it’s complicated" status, the two finally buried the hatchet in Mortal Kombat X.
Kuai Liang showed Hanzo evidence (via a decrypted cybernetic memory) that Quan Chi was the one truly responsible for the Shirai Ryu's massacre.
In Mortal Kombat 11, they are full-blown allies, working together to protect Earthrealm.
