Ken obliterates, Netherrealm or not. Not only is he, from the get-go, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay stronger, tougher, and faster than Scorpion, but the Netherrealm takes a long-ass time to boost Scorpion. Characters have kicked his ass in the Netherrealm before, a lot of which would lose to Ken.

"Are you seriously saying Ken is faster than instant teleportation?"

Yes. Scorpion needs to react to Ken before he can use that ability. Problem is, Scorpion is exponentially slower.

"Ninja weapons"

Ken can tank those. Scorpion is building level, Ken is town level. Those shits would break upon contact with Ken's skin.

tl;dr: Ken turns Scorpion into red vapor with a single hadouken Stronger, tougher AND faster? HELL NO. For one, Scorpion consistently reacts to Raiden's lightning and dodges accordingly. Keeping up with characters like Raiden, Nightwolf and Quan Chi coupled with his teleportation gives him a drastic mobility advantage over Ken. Even IF Ken was faster(he's really not). Stronger? Hmmm...maybe. But Scorpion has dealt with powerhouses before.

Now..tougher? Not really. Ken can survive a beating from Bison(before Street Fighter V)but Scorpion can survive hits from Raiden, who's undoubtedly superior to Bison. And the fact that he defeated Raiden and at some points made the Thunder God look like fodder. And what proof do you have that the power boost of the Netherrealm takes so long?

Again, Scorpion isn't slower so he can teleport circles around Ken.

Scorpion is Town. Ken is Small Town. Scorpion is not town. Barely ANY MK character exceeds the MCB range without island/planetary outliers, and Scorpion sure as hell is not one of them. Scorpion "dealing with powerhouses before" and the whole Netherrealm thing is an absolutely massive NLF. Show me proof that Scorpion can take down a, say, Bowser-level being and then we'll talk.

Scorpion is only small building if we consider the whole "turning a person to a skeleton" thing, which should be legit as Hellfire IS a part of his weaponry. Speed, he's only supersonic.

Now, onto Ken, who is small town level and massively hypersonic via Bison scaling. It doesn't take much to show that Small Town Level/MHS >>> Small Building/Supersonic.

Anything Scorpion has, whether it be the Netherrealm or Teleportation, is nulled by those massive gaps in stats. Even then, Scorpion got throttled by characters in the Netherrealm who are weaker than Ken.

And if we wanna consider Violent Ken (For whatever reason that may be)? That fucker uses Psycho Power, an ability that benefits from the pain and anger of others. Scorpion... Has a lot of that in him. He would be a literal battery for Violent Ken.

tl;dr: Ken still vaporizes with a single hadouken.
