And while I was confused about it at first, turns out that he at one point in the story mode decides to join Quan Chi again for whatever reason. (Spoilers?) But I really hope that's not the faction he stays with ._. That's from a general pre-match quote. Pre-match quotes don't always reflect canon. That's definitly canon man. In their live streams they mention how many canon intros their are. so if a charecter specifically calls out another.. there is a high chance it's canon. Those guys aren't actually lore masters, and they don't have control over what quotes are said before the match. They were just using the term "canon match" to refer to "these characters have a relationship in-game." Takeda and Scorpion are master and apprentice, and therefore pairing the two up is "canon." Compare that with, say, Shinnok and Ferra/Torr... I'm pretty dang sure those two haven't even heard of each other, much less met. Not to mention how  opening quotes can have contradictory information. For example, Ermac telling Kung Lao he remembers "All since our creation", but tells Kitana, who claims they fought before, that "the memory is gone."

Also, how's about you wait until actually playing the game and its MOST DEFINITELY CANON storyline before you call out my warning of "pre-match quotes don't always equal canon"? I've played it & can say, for the most part, they're pretty canon.
