Mind you, i'll be taking this from a gameplay POV.

Scorpion:

Why he would win:
 * 1) Scorpion is probably the unpredictable character in the game, there's no telling what he'll do and he can get out of most situations.
 * 2) He has a nice set of variations that's vital to his playing style, mainly Inferno, since the demonic minion can easily catch you off guard.

Why he won't win:
 * 1) As deadly as he it, there is some drawbacks such as his punishable teleport, that opens up as a combo starter for Sub-Zero.
 * 2) Sub-Zero's Grandmaster is a great variation to use against Scorpion and sets up opportunities.

Sub-Zero

Why he would win:
 * 1) As I mentioned before, Grandmaster would be a nice variation because it's a nice defensive variation and could easily punish an unsuspecting Scorp.
 * 2) One of the best things with this variation is how deadly it is in the corner with his ice clone, so adding that with pressure would land Sub-Zero a win.

Why he won't:
 * 1) Sub-Zero is be a rushing, in your face type of character, but dealing with Scorpion, this could create a bit hassle for Sub considering Scorpion's counters, including his wake ups.
 * 2) Using his ice clones (assuming the player is using Grandmaster) wouldn't be as effective since Scorpion could easily teleport out of the pressure, especially in the corners.
