    Didn't realize just how much of a history Takeda had, in spite of him only being in one game...
    Tempted to try him out.

      He has arguably one of the strongest high low games of any character in most of the games, on top of incredibly satisfying buttons to hit. Definitely even just hit the lab with him, he's a blast.

    Kinda fitting that one of the coolest members of the PS2 era ended up spawning one of the coolest members of the Netherealm era.

    Takeda and Kung Jin being taken off the roster after just one game was a big mistake.

Crossing my fingers for their return in MK12 and the fans will give them a chance this time.

    Lasher Takeda is easily my favorite Variation of Takeda, the focus on long-ranged attecks suited so well for me. As for Takeda players, I myself remember St9rm very well, he brought the hype with his Shiray Ryu Takeda a ton of times, truly a great player. Also Vman too, great player as well.

But dream fanfic aside, I’d love to see Takeda return in MK 12. It’d also be cool to see him play out a storyline with Forest Fox but there I go again lol
    Anyways, love the videos! Each one seems better than the last somehow, which is no small feat by any stretch of the imagination. Hope to see you both do some sort of version of “your ideal MK12 base roster plus DLC and why you want them” video soon.👍

    Takeda was easily among my favorite newcomers in Mortal Kombat X alongside Kotal Kahn and Erron Black. His backstory in the (now non-canon. . .) MKX comics, his gameplay was fun, had a neat design, and the fact that he was the son of Kenshi AND trained by both him and Scorpion, I was very surprised he out of anyone didn't come back playable in MK11.
    I certainly hope Takeda returns in the upcoming "Mortal Kombat 12" or whatever it may be called. 👀

    i feel it would only make sense for Takeda to return, if he did at all, with Kenshi's sword. Considering the Krypt guy found it in Kenshi's dead body, but then died to the shaolin traps in the Aftermath story, the sword is just floating out there. I think it would be some awesome character development. Maybe one day Takeda feels a muffled, distant call from his ancestors and goes in search of it.
