Takeda is also my favorite, gameplay and story wise; thus, he'll likely be my main. His fatality is by far the most disturbing, yet it's awesome and just shows Scorpion taught him very well to be a warrior. Mileena and Kung Jin also seem very fun to play as and I'm not turned off by Mileena's new design, unlike some who see it as pointless.

Takeda's dialogue may imply that Scorpion has returned to Quan Chi's service, but it could also mean that Scorpion is being forced/controled by Quan Chi like the dead characters in MK9. I find it very unlikely that Scorpion would willingly return to serve Quan Chi after the Netherrealm War, especially since he knows of the sorcerer's involvement in the first Shirai Ryu massacre.

Lastly, I don't think the weapons Takeda uses in his "Ronin" variation are pulse sabers, as they don't serve a similar function to the ones Cyrax used in the past and the Kombat Kast once state they are plasma blades. I actually think they are a by product of when he was healed by the Jinsei from Raiden's lightning in the comic. He does say he felt invincible afterwards and it would also explain how he can teleport now like his master.
