I think everyone here is excluding the movie universe in general from the games themselves. Maybe if we were concluding the video game and comic universe, Scorpion might have some chance to win. But when it comes to the movies and conquest series spinoff, it was easily shown that Reptile has the upper hand, not just through basic role as underling as opposed to competitive slave but also based on the fact that Scorpion was just fodder for Johnny Cage and a very minor rival in the second movie and even more of a lesser role in the conquest series whereas Reptile was a deadly follower who attacked only before Shang Tsung himself and brought together a plan in conquest to take out Shao Kahn. There's too much influence when it comes to the video game story aspect from MK9 and MKX to decipher that Scorpion would win as he beheaded Quan Chi and was given a primary role. What I'm saying is Reptile movie universe and original games 1-3 would easily defeat Scorpion, which is why he's always been my personal favorite character. Not to bash Scorpion or Sub-Zero, who happen to be my 2nd and 3rd favs, respectively.
