'''Ken''' is Ryu's best friend and training partner. Heir to the Master's family, Ken comes from a lot of wealth and power. He was rowdy and energetic throughout his youth, and loved to get into fights. To ensure his son didn't become too much of a hassle, his father sent him to train with an old friend named Gouken. There, he met Ryu, and the two became rivals as they learned to master the arts of shotokan karate. Ken joins the Street Fighter tournament for the same reason as Ryu, hoping to fight highly skilled opponents from around the world. | |||
Ken is the second in the duo that the community commonly calls "shotos". In the original Street Fighter 1, Ken was simply a player 2 alt with no differences to Ryu. SF1MR adds minor differences, usually just small frame data changes. While Ryu has more frame advantage to take care of his lack of mix with substantial pressure options, Ken trades that out for a faster fireball and DP game, giving him effectively better zoning than Ryu. | |||
Ken | In comparison to Ryu, Ken is generally faster but lacks the same frame advantage. His '''Shoryuken {{clr|1|(6236P)}}''' is incredible, being active on the first frame and going incredibly high. These make amazing reversals and defensive tools, but still maintain the same high risk. His '''Tatsumaki Senpukyaku {{clr|2|(214K)}}''' is faster overall, and allows for some stronger corner combos, alongside only being 0 on block unlike Ryu's -3 version. Ken's '''Hadouken {{clr|1|(236P)}}''' fireball is a frame faster, but unfortunately is also a frame slower on recovery, and lacks the same frame advantage that Ryu has from his. | ||
The two have a large difference in their supers. Ken has '''Shoryureppa {{clr|1|(236236P)}}''', an easy to confirm combo ending super, and '''Shinryuken {{clr|2|(236236K)}}''', a stellar anti-air/reversal super with some amazing combo potential in the corner with Ken's Shinryuken loops. Overall, Ken has better anti-airs and more potential damage, plus better defense. However, he lacks Ryu's stable zoning, powerful super, and better frame advantage. | |||

A slower but far reaching air unblockable kick. Meant mostly for anti-airs, as it lacks a cancel and is punishable on grounded hit by some characters. As an anti-air, it's quite reliable if used a bit early, but the slow startup leaves it weak as a reaction anti-air. | |||

A simple low kick. One of Ken's more useful normals for poking, and seen often to cancel into '''{{clr|7|2D}}''', '''Hadouken''', or '''Shoryureppa'''. It hits low, but Ken lacks much overhead threat to mix it with. This is still solid after an empty jump for a surprise low, however. | |||

A slower and heavier version of '''{{clr|1|2A}}'''. Heavily plus on block and hit, and can be even more plus on a meaty, making it one of Ken's main normals to start offense and punishes with.

Kens main combo ender and a stellar neutral poke. Surprisingly low total duration, and safely cancels to fireball for a blockstring. Since none of Kens specials are necessarily combo friendly, you often end combos in this. Luckily, it's quite combo friendly, linking or cancelling from a majority of his other normals. The long range makes these links consistent and forgiving as well. | |||

Ken sticks out his leg and lets the hitbox linger for the full jump like '''{{clr|1|j.A}}'''. More useful as a jump-in, especially since the long active frames can catch a lot of bad anti-airs.

The classic fireballs shared by the shotos in every Street Fighter game. Generally, Ken has worse Hadoukens than Ryu. In SF1MR, Kens Hadoukens are less of a downgrade and more of a sidegrade. They have worse frame advantage, making Ken less consistent at chipping, but they're faster overall making them slightly safer zoning tools in neutral. These compliment Kens amazing '''Shoryuken''', making his zoning arguably close to Ryu, but the lack of Shinku Hadouken brings it back to worse. | |||

* Invincible on frames 1~12 | |||
Shoryukens are incredibly fast and damaging reversals and anti-airs, beating every other reversal in the game in terms of raw speed. The hitbox comes out on the first frame of the move, allowing it to blow through even 1 frame gaps and punish a ton of things within range. These are held back by a serious horizontal range issue. It's very easy to get a single hit and be unsafe, or even have it whiff entirely. | |||

Difficult to use but incredibly high reward combo tools. They only combo from a '''{{clr|3|2C}}''', and that can be range reliant as well, making it rare to use them. On top of that, they hit 'much' higher in this game than in other SF titles, to the point where they whiff some characters standing. This severely limits their use as combo tools, and while 0 on block can be attractive, they whiff often on block as well. In the corner, these can lead to Kens high damage '''Shinryuken''' loops, and can TOD anyone, making them incredibly niche but massive reward. | |||

A simple to use combo super that works in a majority of combos as an alternate ender. Not the highest damage super in the game, but the reliability of it helps to make it worth. It can get every hit on an air connect, making it reliable in juggles, and can even combo from a '''{{clr|7|2D}}'''. | |||

A massive damage anti-air and reversal super. The lightning fast startup and high damage can make this a very attractive metered alternative to '''Shoryuken''', but it shares the same issue with horizontal range, and works in only a few combos. When in range however, it makes for a massive damage alternative, and can be a very worthwhile way to spend a bar, especially since Ken can easily taunt to regain the meter after a successful connect. | |||
This is also an anywhere juggle, meaning it breaks normal juggle rules to allow for combos that aren't normally possible. The main application for this is Shinryuken loops: Ken can continuously loop Shinryuken in the corner as long as he has meter, racking up huge damage. This can be started from any '''Tatsu''' hit, allowing Ken to realistically TOD most of the cast in the right situation. | |||

Ken is Ryu's best friend and training partner. Heir to the Master's family, Ken comes from a lot of wealth and power. He was rowdy and energetic throughout his youth, and loved to get into fights. To ensure his son didn't become too much of a hassle, his father sent him to train with an old friend named Gouken. There, he met Ryu, and the two became rivals as they learned to master the arts of shotokan karate. Ken joins the Street Fighter tournament for the same reason as Ryu, hoping to fight highly skilled opponents from around the world.
Ken is the second in the duo that the community commonly calls "shotos". In the original Street Fighter 1, Ken was simply a player 2 alt with no differences to Ryu. SF1MR adds minor differences, usually just small frame data changes. While Ryu has more frame advantage to take care of his lack of mix with substantial pressure options, Ken trades that out for a faster fireball and DP game, giving him effectively better zoning than Ryu.
In comparison to Ryu, Ken is generally faster but lacks the same frame advantage. His Shoryuken (6236P) is incredible, being active on the first frame and going incredibly high. These make amazing reversals and defensive tools, but still maintain the same high risk. His Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (214K) is faster overall, and allows for some stronger corner combos, alongside only being 0 on block unlike Ryu's -3 version. Ken's Hadouken (236P) fireball is a frame faster, but unfortunately is also a frame slower on recovery, and lacks the same frame advantage that Ryu has from his.
The two have a large difference in their supers. Ken has Shoryureppa (236236P), an easy to confirm combo ending super, and Shinryuken (236236K), a stellar anti-air/reversal super with some amazing combo potential in the corner with Ken's Shinryuken loops. Overall, Ken has better anti-airs and more potential damage, plus better defense. However, he lacks Ryu's stable zoning, powerful super, and better frame advantage.
