I love how MK1 Takeda is basically the equivalent of Symbiote Spider-Man in stark comparison to how quippy and laid-back he was in MKX. Bro is a badass, no matter the timeline.
His relationship with Jacqui and being Scorpion's chujin is also what I love about this character. My hope that Jacqui is in this timeline. Thus, rekindle our fan favorite pair.
I just noticed something… Remember when Ferra called Quan Chi “Eggman” back in MKX? Well, if you play MK1 in French, you’ll notice that: -Quan Chi is voiced by Marc Bretonnière *(Eggman)* -Smoke is voiced by Alexandre Gillet (Sonic) -The newly added Takeda, is voiced by Sébastien Desjours (Knuckles) Yeah. We basically have _3 Sonic VAs_ in the French version of this game
So Jacqui still exists in the new timeline, but she’s not Jax’s daughter. Dagon still exists and he’s still Rain’s half brother but they aren’t demigods
0:12 MK1 Takeda vs MKX Takeda 0:21 GET OVER HERE!!! 0:30 Jacqui Briggs reference 0:41; 14:40 Kombat Kids references 1:23 Are you Ermac or Morpheus? 4:13 Thank you for asking that question, Takeda! What a nice reference to past incarnations of Rain as well. 4:29 "The people of Seido send their regards." 4:47 So Daegon is still Rain's half-brother. But what about Taven? 5:07 MK11 Shao Khan ending. 5:34 Ooh, that's an automatic Fatality right there. 9:04 Takeda just became Walter White 😅 10:01 Hanzo and Takeda went from master-student to brothers.
“Khameleon is not zateran. She is Saurian.” I thought a Saurian is a sub species to zaterrans like Reptile in previous games. Are they not a subspecies anymore, or was it never like that?
@steeleonduzgamez5641 this is only in the new timeline. I don't think zaterrans existed in the old timeline but idk To clarify: yes zaterra existed in old mk, but the zaterran nationality did not. It was just saurians.
This Takeda is a lone wolf I see But glad they implied back that mirror matches said he was Kenshi son. And the Kombat kids He may not live against the red dragon though His comeback line against Reiko was the best
Takeda had a relationship with Jax’s daughter Jacqui in the previous timeline. And they were about to be engaged (as mentioned time again in MK 11). That is until Kronika came in, and history has been rewritten. It sucks that we never get a chance to have a wedding ceremony in the Shirai Ryu way. I hoped NRS can somehow bring her back as a DLC character. Takeda x Jacqui is my favorite Mortal Kombat pair besides Liu Kang and Kitana.
The voice actor is really good he does his old MKX self and this newer takeda great you can tell the difference from a much more laid back chill kid, to a much more intense angered takeda, or like one guy said just like red hood
@@thamg.2550 probably trying to figure sales of the DLC if it’s warranted. SSKJL was a failure so WB needs to figure this out. Story mode dlc and new dlc characters would help.
Appreciate the mortal Kombat x callback that was the one i started with back in 2018 😂😂 are they alive in this timeline? Hopefully we get the story expansion trailer tomorrow
Me vs Takeda Me: I’ll be honest, you’re the second person who is formerly a Yakuza. Takeda: Neither do I for someone who is a foreign swordsman. Me: Raiden and I are not a club of sparks and juice of electricity if you are assuming we are partners. Takeda: And you said me and Kenshin are formerly from The Black Dragons when we both are only distant cousins. Takeda: So on Planet Airias, every alien, mythical, and realm race are together as one? Me: Another spoiler involves immortals who aren't gods and those who were extinct from Earth. Takeda: I doubt Kabal would take you down if you and he meet swiftly. Me: If I meet Kabal, this ought to be real swift in one yoctosecond. Takeda: Foresights give you the advantage from being hurt? Me: It feels like cheating even though I have to live with it saving anyone who'd die not just me. Me: Ninjas aren’t the first people I've faced in my path. Takeda: I’ve faced people who carry guns as well since I can be harder to defeat.
10:40 So there’s a difference between Zaterrans and Saurians now? Are the Saurians the pale white ones that can switch between colors like Khameleon and Chameleon do?
Why does it seem like recordings for Takeda's intros happened later down the line? Nitara only having 4 intros instead of 8, some characters like Geras and Omni-Man sounding different than usual, and JCVD not having anything at all
I'm gonna be honest, I like that he's still basically MKX Takeda, but I loved the idea that he was the cousin Kenshi, hunting him down for the Yakuza clan and is evil this time around. Spice things up and make the Yakuza clan a part of this universe even more by having Tadeka represent them. Though, then again, NRS would then just make Takeda a jobber if they did that, so I guess he's better off still a good guy
I'm glad he's back but why change what doesn't need fixing. Him as Kenshi's son could've opened for a much better dynamic than retconning him to be a cousin with the exact same backstory
@@aleflippy1997 Pretty obvious. But with all the multiverse timeline crap they seem to be having fun with, I thought they would have gone the route of him being an alternate Kenshi's son Or maybe I'm expecting way too much from NRS in regards to consistency
@@Dark71138 Yeah, I never understood NRS' writing either. I swear they come up with new clever ideas with each new game, then do absolutely nothing with them. It's a fighting game curse really, MK is far from the only one with poor writing, but man... It's so infuriating.
Glad they kept the original voice actor. He is great. I still can’t bring myself to play this game though, I hate the whole multiple timeline nonsense that marvel seems to have spread like a disease.
In part of takeda Vs kenshi or others, why kenshi didn't say son to takeda while takeda didn't say father to kenshi and others say cousin instead, it so confusing to me as well. But we all do know that takeda is only kenshi's son in mk10
Takeda: "I hear Bi-Han was a bad brother" Tomas: "Because to him, I wasn't one" What does this mean??? I need answers!!!! I need to know what Bi-Han's motivations for bullying Smoke were!!!!
From what the Kampaign showed of him, I think it’s pretty clear that Bi-Han is very much a “Lin Kuei supremacist”, every interaction he has with someone who wasn’t born in the clan is tinged with a vibe of “these people are inferior to me”, he has a very xenophobic personality. I think, the fact that Tomas wasn’t born into the clan was all the justification Bi-Han needed to disown his brother; and when Tomas sided with Kuai Liang rather than Bi-Han, the grandmaster of the clan, that just reinforced all of Bi-Han’s preconceptions that Tomas was never truly Lin Kuei. The real question, I think, should be who taught Bi-Han to be so prejudiced against people born outside of the clan, that’s the root cause of why he treats so many people poorly.

So pretty much Takeda's mirror match is him vs his MKX self. Interesting.
Pretty much! The new version doesn’t have telekinesis like his OT self.
Even the personalities are different when each one talk
Yep and its cool
@@Lynce222 fr. MK1 version is more serious
I have a feeling his brooding personality and one dialogue from Kensh might play a role in the story expansion

I see no similarities
I think this Takeda is much more focused
@mr.horizon156 yeah, man.
@mr.horizon156 I can say much more determined and also……he’s a loose canon even when Kenshi tells him to not go after the red dragon alone.
Yea he’s “basically” the same, so specific, we know ur thoughts
I love the dialogue between his old timeline and new timeline.
It really hits well
It's so cool to see Takeda back in MK. He was very cool in MKX and I'm glad to see him back.
I know right?? NT Takeda doesn’t have telekinetic abilities though.
@@jakubsokol7301 Facts. Out of all the Kombat Kids, Takeda was the coolest.
What about Cassie or Jackie

@@a.jthomas6132 I was never a fan of that pair. Felt forced
"Zaterrans don't eat humans, do they?" "Why does *everybody* ask that?!" Uh, maybe because you *do* eat people as a fatality, Syzoth.
it’s crazy that nobody is talking about how Scorpion told Takeda that Hanzo was asking asking after him, “you became a big brother Takeda.”
I found that part interesting
Yea no kidding that's interesting
well hanzo is mentioned in smokes ending.
Have you beat towers with smoke? His story is pretty cool

Considering how much Reiko loves to fight in general, he is glad to have that label lol
9:00 "I am not in danger, skyler I am the danger"
So Takeda interaction with himself is actually his counterpart from MKX?! 😳
So Jacqui still exists in the new timeline, but she’s not Jax’s daughter.

@@zooli9 maybe
@@zooli9wait WHAT?
4:48 This contradicts Rain's mirror dialogue of him saying that there's no Taven or Daegon in the new timeline.
