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. Perhaps, but if one looks closely at the Ronin variation, they are labelled as Pulse Sabers. I'll send you a link to a screenshot of this if you want :) I'm pretty sure they are plasma swords, as many on the wiki, including Daryl, agree that they are along with the developers calling them so. However, I would like to see this screen shot to either confirm or deny what they actually are. Besides that, like to say this is another great analysis, Wraith. Thanks, Maroon :) And as I promised, here's the screenshot. I apologize from the quality, but I got this screenshot from the same copy of the stream that I got all the others from.
