Scorpion Sting

This has probably already been asked and answered but.. If player A dodges and then player B plays Scorpion Sting (superior version can't be dodged) does - player A's strike fizzle (like the steal weapon with 1st strike case). - player A choose a new strike. I would presume the former, but my opponent (player A, obviously) didn't agree. Thanks.

So, the strike your opponent chose (a Dodge) is not illegal, it simply fails to counter your strike. (It doesn't necessarily fizzle - it is still a successful strike, it simply doesn't affect the outcome of the Scorpion Sting - this is the same as fizzling for now, since no cards depend on simply successfull striking for anything, but this could change). -- L.
