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 of 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.
