Mortal Kombat 1 - Takeda Gear and Story Revealed!

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

Let's Get This Video 2,000 Likes for Takeda Hype! What has You Excited to Play Takeda? Comment Below!

[@Flames-in-the-Cage]

I can't wait for Ed Boon's surprise (also I was first)

[@ektran4205]

it might takeda from the pre mk9 timeline

[@portenho79]

Just to put it out there. Am I the only one that thinks how weird the characters come mixed in ambush and in the final battle? Any thoughts?

[@kilochampion787]

Just letting you know, Takeda’s mask in MKX was only on his Shirai Ryu Variant. Ninjitsu is a Scorpion variant just to clarify. I’m revisiting MKX and Takeda is my favorite character in that game (also Shirai Ryu is my favorite variant) so I’ve had this in my head lately.

[@JaxXxonSly]

"My man is old, look at those wrinkles! Dude is close to 30!" *Feels myself crumble to dust*

[@HyperFoxx]

6:47 Yep that's Kenshi lol

[@bagel_guy9495]

If Takeda has a gear that covers his eyes it better be called "like father, like son" as a callback to their old timeline relationship

[@ivansleepy4722]

And then Homelander's clap brutality with the clap would have the same unique line that it has for Kenshi. That would be hilarious.

[@Important_Bass_1127]

@@ivansleepy4722 Quote be like; “Is this FKing blind guy’s brat?!”

[@Matomeltom]

@ivansleepy4722 he already says “another useless fucking blind guy when doing the clap brutality against kenshi

[@hiimlorenzo807]

7:30 Just to clarify, there is an intro dialogue between Kenshi and Ermac where Kenshi says “so many minds, so many voices” (which is also a reference to a line said by Takeda in Chapter 7 of MKX) but this hints that Kenshi has telepathy.

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

I think that’s just because Sento can sense the souls in Ermac

[@ernestotorres6151]

Sento-ken is absorbing soul and aspects of a being that being stabbed. It is dangerous to being slashed by sento-ken.

[@ShayTheValiant]

I wish Takeda's gear was both his whips AND his mask.

[@sylars7775]

i mean we're not sure right? so it is maybe his whips aswell

[@Hk-ox4bb]

Same here

[@MasterCombatant]

I don’t get why NRS gave us only 1 customizable gear piece per character. In MK11 we could customize 3 different pieces of gear per character

[@ShayTheValiant]

@@MasterCombatant And Injustice 2 had 5 different gear pieces. NRS just got lazier over time.

[@MasterCombatant]

@@ShayTheValiant 100% agreed!! Take Takeda for example, we should (like you said) be able to customize his mask AND his Whips, but we should also be able to customize at least one more thing like his headband or his torso armor. Or scorpion (the MK Mascot), we can already customize his mask but we should also be able to customize his spear and wrist guards. I’m just tossing ideas around

[@spotongaming4943]

could be a misdirection, maybe he's like Cable and has time traveled into the new era

[@knightfall7704]

Cable is sick bro, I hope that’s the case

[@DevFranko]

I just wanna say my man, as a 35 year old that works 50-60 hours a week in a factory and a pretty decent mortal kombat fan, (literally named my dogs Kahn-English Shepard and Kitana-Pomeranian.) I look forward to coming home cracking open a nice Heineken and “ATTEMPTING” to knock out towers and Invasion YOU have helped me along with so much info and fun shit! Really do appreciate All the effort you do to get your facts or information in general, not to mention I can understand the level of nerd talk in each video (lol) relax I speak it too but just not as good as you 🤘🏻 keep doing your thing my dude!! …..also why did they take out the crypt?! That was so fun

[@kilochampion787]

Just letting you know, Takeda’s mask in MKX was only on his Shirai Ryu Variant. Ninjitsu is a Scorpion variant just to clarify. I’m revisiting MKX and Takeda is my favorite character in that game (also Shirai Ryu is my favorite variant) so I’ve had this in my head lately.

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

SAME! I liked his machine gun punch, and his teleport attacks in his Shirai Ryu variation.

[@drakeredgrave6747]

I don't think they are cousins. There is leaked dialogue, where he interupts li mei saying they are distant cousins, and while it's hard to tell, since there is no voice acting to read the delivery, IMO, it reads like a panic response to hide something...

[@mazeluchi9508]

Distant cousins IS still cousins ...

[@drakeredgrave6747]

@@mazeluchi9508 you missed the point... I'm not gonna look for the dialogue and write it, but the way that it's written in the leak(interrupting li mei), IMO reads like a panic response, like if takeda were still kenshis son but they can't know for some reason, time travel being a possibility...

[@drakeredgrave6747]

@@mazeluchi9508 and again, it's just a theory since without voice acting, I can't hear the delivery to know for sure if it is a panic response...

[@mazeluchi9508]

@@drakeredgrave6747 yeah he is maybe from another timeline WE will see But i dont really Care who he is for kenshi ; i just care about his gameplay

can't wait to see my boy again

[@sharmz7540]

I really hope this is the final reboot tat ethereal does for the mk franchise because I feel like they just spit in the face of people who have been fallowing the mk franchise for a long time

[@pn5846]

If NRS reworked the entire customization it would do the game a lot better specially with how scarce Dragon Crystals are

[@Mounybagg]

I think his mask and his whip will be his gear peaces. And the mask and headband definitely are gonna be together

[@ljanki7658]

I hope takeda gets a red and white pallet like omega red and a black and brown pallet.

[@V3nom1206]

Honestly it should have been his whip rig/whips AND his mask/headband

[@Sm0k_ay]

they can easily add more gear pieces to every character, mk11 3gear was perfect

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I'd figure that Takeda's bladed whips would be the custom gear, much like how Baraka's arm blades had multiple variations.

[@jeromedees]

Kenshi asked Raiden for the shaolin to help him in the war and Raiden said the shaolin doesn’t participate in war in there dialogue. What if Takeda the leader of the group Kenshi in war with.

[@Hk-ox4bb]

I was really hoping this was the og taked straight up taken from the older timeline :(

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

MAYBE! He could be time-traveling.

[@penithwank810]

Love takeda! Love the new masks but his outfit reminds me of reptiles power ranger skin

[@MasterCombatant]

I thought the reason why Kuai Liang had pyrokinesis is because Liu Kang switched his ancestry with Tanya’s. I also thought that was the reason why Tanya didn’t have pyrokinesis anymore like in previous games

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

Do Tanya’s fireballs come from her weapon now instead of shooting them out her hands?!

[@MasterCombatant]

@@OpenMiker-rp4eo I completely forgot about that ability. Maybe her Kuai Liang share a common ancestor then. I don’t know, I’m just theorizing right now

[@yoolaroola872]

buff ideas, spread the word Havoc: He needs at least five new attack strings, he needs his legacy move that titan havoc has were he takes off his head and rolls it but its a mid, has the same affect as reptiles acid ball, and also hits mid exploding on contact. he also needs another one of his legacy moves that again titan havoc has where he bends his hole body for a low projectile and the amp of that can be a knock down allowing for combo extentions for cameos like scorpion Sub-zero: he needs his attack strings made slightly faster except for his overhead, he also needs 1 or 2 new attack string launchers, both his regular and amp iceball needs to be faster to not only be able to combo with it off of normal attack strings but in juggle combos too. He should have the ability to throw his ice clone, i also think he should have his ice burst special back with the same proporties as mkx to compliment his ice clone(but just does not send you that far away). lastly he needs some of his damage scailing off ground freeze. Scorpion: should be buffed by making his amp ground tp a launcher again and make the cancel built in to both his regular and amp tp. buff the amp hellfire move by removing the damage over time and making it function like how it does in mkx allowing him to combo after hitting it. he needs new strings some mix ups(i personally want his mkx overhead back). some moves need to be sped up Quan shi: needs his mind control move from mkx back, and make half his attack strings faster. and finally his low tentacle needs to be one bar Raiden: change raiden's b2 back to the mkx launcher but make it as slow as sub'z b2. give him back his vicinity blast move back with the same properties as mkx. Give him back his mkx amp lightning projectile back for combo extentions but have his regular fully charged move have the same proportys as the amp. he also needs to be buffed by making his amp electrocute special launch no matter how many bars he uses liu kang: for starters nerf his f4 one button pressure but give him his 113 mkx launcher back along with maybe 2 or 3 more new attack strings to make up for his pressure and to make it less braindead. make his low fireball slightly faster, change his air fireball to the mkx fireball and the amp the one we have now. give him back his mk 11 dragon parry, and finally make his fatal blow start up 2 hits but the first one restands kung lao: nerf tf out of his wake up special by making it unsafe af on block. give him back his mkx or 9 spin back but have it have work the same as mk11 so he can use it more than two times in a combo. swap his dive kick now for a mix between his mkx or 9 dive kick. he needs his mkx tp, and his low hat back, but nerf his mix up buttion's he has now by making the overhead follow up slightly slower. give him his mk11 21212 attack string and his mkx 44 launcher attack string back. and also he needs his hat spin. Nitara: buff her by making her command dash like homelander so for instance all of her normal attack strings that leaves her in the air cost no bar anymore to command dash and it cost no bar when she is in the air command dashing for combos but the next one after that does. and also make fer overhead that leaver her in the air slightly faster. she should also be able plus after hitting her bf2 special allowing her to cameo combo after it. lastly give her back her legacy projectile move back. Reiko: give him his invasion boss special move, the one is like jades dead butterfly move from mk11 but it launches and he uses his spear(this is already in the game files btw). give this guy at least 1 more special move that involes his knife that's on his person but he never uses for some reason. he needs like 5 new normal attack stings involving his knife and his spear, maybe 2 of them be launchers. smoke: give him his smoke cloud move back from mk9, along having it hit low but have the same start up as the one he got now. make his command dash special cancelable anywhere instead of just near yr opponent. also another command dash sending him backwards but the max distance is half screen but he can cancel it at any time during that animation too. and lastly make it easyer to do ground combos after his amp db 4 special. y'all stay tune i got more heat for every character

[@ishowgoku12222po]

holy yappington

[@evvanwhite]

I dont think they are cousins, he went back in time and is saying they are cousins to cover up that he is the son of kenshi who time travelled. Think of him like cable from marvel. The way he says cousins in the dialogue is like “cousins… we are uh cousins”

[@DobbsterLobbster]

I agree with you because it’s stupid saying their cousins and quite literally the KOMBAT KIDS are literally there. They’re literally just an evil MKX version and that’s it

[@belovedwarrior3192]

I think there is a leaked intro between Kenshi and Takeda that also suggests the cousin excuse is to cover some sort of other connection the two have. Granted it doesn't suggest they have a different relationship. Just that they aren't actually cousins. Considering Kenshi Yakuza connections maybe Kenshi doesn't people know how closely related Takeda is to Kenshi to avoid Takeda being connected to the Yakuza. But that could suggest something like being his brother or something like that.

[@roninkahn4033]

Honestly i wish hey added another option for their weapon for those that use them.

[@yamilmoctezuma3483]

Hopefully they add an update where you can change the cosmetics 🤔

[@jaym8988]

I just wanna say that your thumbnails are so simple, but effective. I always wanna click them.

[@Charmingcharmluck]

The most coolest reveal that I think would be awesome is takeda he is a cool character to begin with he is a kind person I love how he is so strong and can read minds hope he gets to read minds in this era if he can that would be cool I wonder if you can change takeda’s whips that would be. A cool gear and the mask the mask like sub zero and scorpion would be amazing I can’t wait for his skins

[@chrislance684]

It would be cool if you could customize the lashers

[@13TxAxK60]

Takeda's 3 variations in MKX are Ronin, Shiri Ryu, and Slasher. Ninjutsu was one of Scorpion's variations. His mask was in the Shiri Ryu variation. I wish his whips were his gear piece, not his mask.

[@rutek0059]

Takeda was the most unique character in mkx he had three totally different variants. I hope that mk will return to the variants one day and they will make 4 because I always thought about the lasher, ronin, Shirai Ryu and telekinesis variants

[@bradenwiese9841]

I'm gonna be gone for military when he comes out 😢😢

[@deathhades7790]

The sonya buff is a big buff to this game fr adds a decent speed overhead to everyone

[@Vilager08]

In Smoke’s arcade ending Hanzo Hasashi gets raised by the Shirai Ryu and in Kung Lao’s (as i remember) ending Shujinko gets raised by the White Lotus and as a Kameo Shujinko is pretty old so that could be a reason why Takeda is old in the Kombat Pack trailer

[@drakeredgrave6747]

Kameo shujinko (and all other cameos) are non-canon/the OG variants(ignore tremors outfit). Takeda is probably either a time traveler, or should the cousin thing be true, just much older than kenshi... or the crew that made the trailer just fucked up IDK...

[@BAJY_722]

MAKE THE TOURNAMENT WITH MK CONTENT CREATORS AND HELP EARTH REALM

[@SirDragon33]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the original timeline Kenshi wasn't a telepath until he got blind and Ermac taught him that. He had innate abilities, yes, but couldn't use them until after. Maybe it's the case here as well, he just doesn't know he can.

[@UnkyJosh420]

In MK11 we had more customization with the gear. I feel like it was a lazy poor decision to just give each character one thing. It’s lame.

[@DobbsterLobbster]

I disagree with you them being cousins. I can see Kenshi saving his cousins and having the Shi ryu protecting them while Kenshi takes care of the Yakusa’s. Then Takeda joins the ranks and becomes who he was previously. But why show off evil Takeda in the trailer and present timeline MK1 version Takeda

[@fishngamestv5817]

I forgot where but it's stated that Scorpion and Sub-Zero powers in this universe are supernatural like the old timeline but Smoke, being adopted, uses practical magic..

[@g.m.c8243]

Can you explain how to cancel reptile back 2 the other special moves ive been trying but its hard

[@Blazaplays69]

I thought it was his whip and mask

[@123beyaahqb]

I hope we get Kobra with Kali sticks, Im pretty sure they could pull it off, making him look fresh like Mavado

[@evanneal1039]

Could make his gameplay real Nightwing esque. I dig it.

[@123beyaahqb]

@@evanneal1039 they should add kali sticks he use to use, would be epic!

It was his Shirai Ryu variation that had the mask.

[@Chadsgameroom13]

Great video. Keep it up

[@MaclaneFrFr]

They should reference MKX with a skin that looks like Kenshi and name it Like Father Like Son

[@futekigo3574]

It would be cool if he was Kenshi's cousin but only with the Yakuza and was hunting down Kenshi for deserting

[@smokin05]

Hey can you make a video talking about the new info discovered by Inteloko about the next dlcs?

[@skarlet9104]

Man I wish we had more skins for dlc characters instead of just color palettes. I remember Takeda had cool skins in MKX.

[@Luna_the_Umbra]

try to win tower with smoke ... Takeda is named Hanzo in mk1 and when u win tower with smoke u will find out that smoke raised hanzo ( takeda)

[@HonKang]

Takeda is back in Mortal Kombat 1 ❤😊

[@wizardgamehubz]

I would be more excited if this game was more fun. I am looking forward to how takeda plays if FUN i guess Gear and how he looks would be more hype if he is FULLY completed Character Like Johnny or peacemaker

[@dragozillasaur813]

OOH Wolf Predator mask making a cameo

[@83_Tone]

Only DLC I’m really hyped for

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

SAME!

[@dragonmagic9872]

Actually, Kenshi does read minds in MK1, he says it himself in some of his dialogues, for example, his intro with Ermac "Kenshi-So many minds, so many voices, Ermac-You hear our thoughts?" I definitely knew that Takeda could not be kenshi's son because, Imo Takeda appears much older than kenshi in this game. I think your predictions on his color pallets have a chance of being correct.

[@HybridChimera42]

I was hoping it would be his whips that were his gear piece and not his mask.

[@thecoolgamingclan]

I am Happy it was his mask but it well be cool if we well be able to customize his chains

[@cheapmovies25]

I liked when I could customize scorpion mask spear outfit etc

[@mr.smiths220]

“Approaching 30” with crows feet already is crazy 😂

[@MrLuke9980]

I still never got kameo Kung Lao's UMK3 skin? Does anyone know how to get that. I thought was in the shrine like Jax & Sonya but I never got it

[@AntiHYena]

Thats one of the weirdest things about mk1 to me, that they never explain how anybody has powers besides Raiden.

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

Lao and Cage have been depowered. Only the humans have been depowered. Outworlders and Edenians have magical powers and/or superhuman dna (e.g., Reptile).

[@SOSDynamikz213]

Im hoping for a better customization mechanic overall.

[@JuLayLeeBee]

What is the name of the song in the background 😭

[@Wow-it7ke]

Hey I ask that you bring these problems to light as you have a powerful voice in the community. Could you talk about missing features, such as p2 not being able to pick a map, no hidden cursor, the egregious menu lag when selecting online.

[@Kieyss]

Wasnt takeda being kenshis cousin in some intro dialogue

[@HonKang]

I played Mortal Kombat game before ❤😊

[@TrunkieDunkys]

Didn't takeda get acid burns from reptile that's what I thought where the wrinkles came from, also his left eye looks droopy

[@williamparker6038]

I can’t wait to play takeda hope we see a gameplay reveal at evo

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

99% chance we have to wait until Evo for it 😵

[@Homelessjoes]

I hope his gear is a combo of his mask headband and whips

[@aronvaasa8576]

I want Takedas whip blade to be the one customisable than the nask.. Enough masks Im bored.. His mask is already great

[@uttambhattacharyay817]

What is Takeda gameplay just like mkx Takeda or not I like to see fatality ending brutality special move and intros when it come out I know I have no PS5 and mk1 game

[@C-Jay_A113]

The gear piece was kinda confirmed to be his bandana! His bandana is different from the Kombat pack reveal and his teaser trailer!

[@vegasimp]

Scorpion is a similar age to Kenshi

[@demonface4190]

I think takeda will be kenshi’s cousin in this timeline

So they just said fuck hanzo from sub zero and smoke’s ending where he became their apprentice aka takeda

[@peterriverajr6899]

I wish they'd bring back the customization from injustice 2 it had the best

[@cedrickarter5680]

Rn i'm legit more curious as to why kung jin has a unique look as well in that scene alongside takeda, while cassie and jacqui have their original base look (from what i could see)

[@drakeredgrave6747]

Probably gonna be KP2, and if the other 2 will be in a future KP, then they probably didn't have the time to finish the new models...

[@deathhades7790]

We need to get back to injustice 2 customization system excluding the stat part just Head Arms Body Legs And somtimes weapon or cape i think

[@Wildlifewaffles]

His big chain

[@jocelynhealy6998]

Takeda was very much the Robin to Scorpion’s Batman. If you swapped him with Dick Grayson you really wouldn’t see that much of a difference and I hope they keep that type of personality on him.

[@SpecialOrder935]

Id like him to be cyber shirai ryu from another timeline

[@ApexPreadator89]

He looks way more intimidating than MKXL

[@Firebacon1gg]

Now just imagine if it were 1v1 like mk9 or tag like mk9. That Takeda would be amazing. Instead we got injustice 3.

[@bukalayzx]

mk1 is a mutliversal story... its kind of stupid for them not to make it so that takeda is from another timeline.

[@roninxix4428]

30? 30 if he's smoking every day and breathing in his own secondhand smoke while drinking alcohol and not getting enough sleep every night.

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

Yeah he looks unnaturally old in that trailer 😂

[@jojordann12]

I was hoping for takeda oiled up as a heat :(

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

HUH?! 👀

[@skeletor4436]

I think Takeda is still a Kenshis son hes just ended up stuck in the past so hes lying about his origins

[@chrislister570]

First Scorpion isn't Hanzo and now Take a isn't Takeda. Why the fuck should I care about this character?!

[@sonicvergil1]

Idk him being Kenshi son is more interesting. Also is combat armor feels out place. Honestly Kenshi was my favorite character and I hate the new lore.
