I've contributed to this thread before, and I'll do so again.

Ken is by no means faster than Scorpion. Unless he somehow has the speed of Goku's instant tranmission or is as fast as the Flash, he would not be able to tag Scorpion when the undead ninja teleports.

If the power increase in the Netherrealm is said to be limitless by official game information, then it's limitless, that's not an NLF. It's the developers literally saying that Scorpion's home field boost is limitless. Why bother arguing against what they, the people that made the game and the characters, wanted to implement in? Oh, and the boost is not as slow as you might think.

Both are tough and can fight against beings that are extremely powerful (M. Bison for Ken, Raiden for Scorpion) and can take beatings, but when it comes to these two, Scorpion will most likely win. Ken is still human. Sure he can tank Sonic Booms and Psycho Crushers, but he's still a human that's vulnerable to standard human things (guns, knives etc.)

He also doesn't have the benefit of already being dead. Scorpion does. Plus Violent Ken has yet to show up in official games as an official second form (unless I'm missing something here).

Oh and it's been stated that Ken's Hadoken is actually weaker than Ryu's. So him one-shotting Scorpion with one ki blast is next to impossible, because Scorpion's not just gonna stand there and take it like a training dummy.

Taking into account their attitudes, Scorpion's more likely to go in for a kill, since Ken's cocky and likes to show off his skills; being the flashy guy he is, he's bound to get caught off-guard by a teleport attack, a spear or just a fireball to the face.

Granted it's not an easy fight for either of them, but Scorpion has more going for him. I say Scorpion wins.
