Editing Ken (SSBU)

:{{cquote|''Ken Turns Up the Heat!''|cite=Introduction tagline}}

'''Ken''' ({{ja|ケン|Ken}}, ''Ken'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He is the third fighter from [[Capcom]] after {{SSBU|Mega Man}} and {{SSBU|Ryu}}. He was announced as a newcomer during the November 1st, 2018 [[Nintendo Direct|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct]], alongside {{SSBU|Incineroar}} and {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}. Despite being a semi-clone, Ken is Ryu's [[Echo Fighter]] (and was the final Echo Fighter to be revealed), thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #60^ε]].

{{iw|wikipedia|Reuben Langdon}}, Ken's English voice actor from ''Street Fighter IV'' and ''Street Fighter V'', reprises his role in the overseas versions, including the Chinese and Korean versions. His Japanese voice actor since ''Street Fighter III: Third Strike'', {{iw|wikipedia|Yuji Kishi}}, reprises his role exclusively in the Japanese version. ''Ultimate'' is the last game where {{iw|wikipedia|Reuben Langdon}} voices Ken in English, as {{iw|wikipedia|David Matranga}} is his current English voice actor in ''Street Fighter 6''.

 

 

 

Overall, Ken is seen as a capable and viable fighter in the right hands with his strong advantage state and combo ability, and players can choose to play either Ken or Ryu, depending on the matchup or mood. For example, if the matchup requires an aggressive game plan, then Ken is the optimal choice. As such, many players who play Ken also play Ryu, although there are several successful players dedicated to just Ken, such as {{Sm|Jahzz0}} and {{Sm|takera}}.

Ken's signature special moves are also effective in their own ways. [[Hadoken]] is a large ki projectile, with three travel speeds based on input method; the standard version is capable of [[lock]]ing, while the input variation deals more damage. [[Tatsumaki Senpukyaku]] propels Ken forward, hitting multiple times throughout the attack, and potentially leading to followups, but the non-input version is unsafe on hit. While Ken's signature [[Shoryuken]] serves as his main vertical recovery move, it is most well-known for its offensive utility, due to its sweetspot's high knockback, multiple powerful hitboxes, and brief intangibility (frame 5), making it both a powerful KO option and a potent anti-air. The input version of Shoryuken has increased KO power, even longer intangibility (frames 4-6, with arm intangibility frames 1-14), and lower landing lag, and can easily be chained into from Ken's other moves. [[Focus Attack]] grants Ken [[armor|heavy armor]] against a single hit, and incapacitates opponents when at least half charged, allowing for followups. It can also be canceled on hit, after tanking a blow, or even while charging, allowing Ken to fake out with a shuffle that also provides horizontal recovery distance. His close held neutral attack, first two hits of tapped neutral attack, close tapped forward tilt, distant taped forward tilt, down smash, held down tilt, and all aerials can be canceled into special moves, allowing Ken to combo into Shoryuken for KOs, Tatsumaki Senpukyaku for extending combos, and Focus Attack for mixups and safety.

Despite his abundant strengths, Ken has his weaknesses as well, most of them shared with Ryu. Though his recovery travels a long distance, it becomes very short if extendable elements, such as Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, cannot be utilized. Focus Attack requires a brief charge before it can be canceled. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku's long duration and low damage makes it vulnerable to being interrupted by long-ranged attacks, and he can only use it once without landing or being dealt hitstun. Ken's falling speed, low jumps and poor air acceleration make it difficult to recover from below the stage, as Shoryuken's recovery is almost strictly vertical and has high endlag, making Ken's vertical recovery easy to predict and interrupt. While Ken excels at shield pressure, his [[grab]] game is sorely lacking; his throws have high damage, but none of them have effective follow-up or KO potential. Down throw is his only combo throw at very low percents, and the extra utility of his throws (down throw instantly breaking shields, and up throw's kick KOing bystanders) does not apply in a 1-on-1 setting, making them situational.

Since Ken has multiple entirely different moves from Ryu, he is near-universally accepted to be the most unique Echo Fighter, being the only Echo Fighter that is a semi-clone. As such, he, much like fellow Echo Fighters {{SSBU|Chrom}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}}, is ranked separately from his base fighter on [[tier list]]s, and is allowed to be used with his base fighter in [[Squad Strike]].

*{{buff|Ken's walking (0.75 → 0.825), dashing (1.6 → 1.76) and initial dash (1.76 → 1.936) speeds are 1.1× faster than those of Ryu, with his initial dash and run speeds being identical to those of {{SSBU|Mario}}.}}

**{{buff|Ken's shield jump height is marginally lower than Ryu's (45.5 → 44.1), resulting in him landing 1 frame sooner.}}

**{{change|Held neutral attack is Inazuma Kick, a double-hitting axe kick resembling up throw.}}

***{{nerf|The first hit has significantly less range than Ryu's held neutral attack. It is somewhat hard to land by itself, as its effective range tends to overlap with his close variant.}}

*[[Forward tilt]]

**{{change|Ken's held [[forward tilt]] is his far standing medium punch, a straight with his right arm, as opposed to Ryu's Collarbone Breaker.}}

***{{buff|It has less start-up (frame 14 → 10) and uninterrupted duration (14 (hit 1)/16-17 (hit 2) → 10-13).}}

***{{buff|It deals more knockback (60 base/90 scaling → 47/104) at a lower angle (46° → 34°).}}

***{{nerf|It has less range and far less shield damage (20 → 0).}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (17.5% (foot)/16% (leg) → 16%/12%), making it slightly weaker despite its higher knockback growth (98 → 102).}}

**{{change|Ken's [[neutral aerial]] is based off of his diagonal jumping medium kick in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'', as opposed to Ryu's diagonal jumping light kick.}}

**{{nerf|Its duration is less than half (4-31 → 6-17), which also causes it to have significantly more ending lag despite the shorter total duration (FAF 36 → 28).}}

**{{change|It only hits once instead of twice.}}

**{{nerf|It deals significantly less damage (11% (total) → 6.5%).}}

**{{change|It deals considerably less knockback (0 base/172 scaling → 20/100), which hinders its KO potential, but makes it much better for combos.}}

**{{buff|He has [[Oosoto Mawashi Geri]], an outward roundhouse kick from ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' similar to Ryu's standing held neutral attack that can be canceled into Inazuma Kick by holding the attack button, letting him use his special cancels without committing to the potential endlag of [[Shoryuken]] and [[Tatsumaki Senpukyaku]] and mix up his attacks. Inazuma Kick also deals a fair amount of [[shield damage]], making it much riskier to block Ken during his blockstrings. At the edge, Oosoto Mawashi Geri makes for a reliable KO option from his special cancel normals.}}

**{{buff|Ken also has his [[Nata Otoshi Geri]], a swiping roundhouse kick from ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' with a unique input (→ ↘ ↓ + Attack) that Ryu does not have. He can cancel after the first hit and change it into his Inazuma Kick by holding the attack button. Its low knockback and angle make it useful for combos, leading into down smash, forward smash or a Shoryuken.}}

**{{nerf|Hadoken deals significantly less damage (9%/9.5%/10% → 4.5%/5%/5.5% (standard), 10.8%/11.4%/12% → 5.625%/6.25%/6.875% (input)), with even his strongest input Hadoken dealing less damage than Ryu's weakest standard Hadoken, despite higher input multiplier (1.2× → 1.25×).}}

**{{nerf|Ken's Hadokens do not vary in speed as significantly as Ryu's do depending on how long the button is held (Light: 0.8 → 0.9, Medium: 1.3 → 1.2, Heavy: 1.8 → 1.5). This reduces his space control and approaching options.}}

**{{change|Aesthetically, Ken spins faster during Tatsumaki Senpukyaku however he moves at the same speed as Ryu.}}

**{{nerf|Tatsumaki Senpukyaku deals significantly less knockback compared to Ryu's, removing its KO potential.}}

**{{nerf|Shoryuken deals less knockback than Ryu's equivalent and hits at a slightly more horizontal angle, making it more susceptible to [[DI]].}}

**{{nerf|Due to its multihit property, Ken's heavy Shoryuken is somewhat susceptible to [[SDI]] and can occasionally be escaped from.}}

**{{buff|Ken's heavy Shoryuken deals more damage and has powerful hitboxes throughout the move, in contrast to Ryu's Shoryuken losing strength the longer it is out. Heavy Shoryuken can also drag enemies upwards, letting it KO earlier when close to the top and KO earlier overall despite its weakened knockback.}}

**{{buff|Ken's Shoryuken has less landing lag (frame 22 frames (standard)/15 (input) → 12/8/18/12), making it significantly more safe when combined with its multihit property.}}

**{{change|Ken performs a spinning kick in his Focus Attack instead of a straight punch, much like in the various iterations of ''Street Fighter IV''. The hitbox comes out 1 frame later for all variants, albeit with its total duration unchanged, allowing Ken to act 1 frame earlier on hit.}}

Update 7.0.0 buffed Ken even further. His overall shield is bigger, making it harder to shield poke him. His down tilt angle change was a mixed bag; it is now easier to combo into his Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, but it is now harder to combo into his Shoryuken. His pivoting leg is now invincible during his Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, making moves like {{SSBU|Ness}}'s [[PK Fire]] no longer work. The Tatsumaki is also stronger overall. The biggest change however, was to his down smash. It is now possible to cancel his down smash with a special move (at the expense of less shield damage), vastly improving his offense game. Another, albeit undocumented, buff to his down smash is that it is now possible to Kara Cancel the down smash charging animation. Kara Cancel was already possible but it could only be down during the first four frames of the down smash. Because of this, Ken's combo game has been greatly improved. And finally, Update 9.0.0 made Shippu Jinraikyaku connect much more reliably by making it deal more knockback and having more horizontal hitboxes.

 

Overall, much like Ryu, Ken fares much better than he did at ''Ultimate's'' launch.

*Ken always turns around to face his opponent when one is left standing, counting teammates as opponents if [[Team Attack]] is on.

*Sound effects from the ''Street Fighter II'' series, albeit heavily modified, are used when Ken hit an opponent instead of the standard knockback sound effects. The intensity of the sound depends on the power of the move. Ken also uses a unique sound effect when he performs a parry, which is based on the parry sound effect from the ''Street Fighter III'' series. Ken shares this trait with {{SSBU|Ryu}}.

|grabdesc=Reaches out. Ken's overall grab range is short.

|pummelname=Hizageri{{ref|h}} ({{ja|ひざ蹴り|Hizageri}})

|pummeldesc=A knee strike while holding the opponent in the {{s|wikipedia|collar-and-elbow}} position. Average power, and its lower hitlag makes it faster compared to other similar pummels, being only marginally slower than {{SSBU|Kirby}}. As a result, it is very useful for racking up damage. It is based on his Tsukami Hizageri ({{ja|つかみ膝蹴り|Tsukami Hizageri}}, "Grasping Knee Kick") throw in the ''Street Fighter Alpha/Zero'' games.

|fthrowname=Seoi Throw ({{ja|背負い投げ|Seoi Nage}})

|fthrowdesc=The {{s|wikipedia|seoi nage}}{{ref|g}}, a Judo throw.

|bthrowname=Hell Wheel ({{ja|地獄車|Jigoku Kuruma}})

|bthrowdesc=Rolls backward twice before performing the {{s|wikipedia|tomoe nage}}{{ref|i}}, akin to {{SSBU|Pikachu}}'s back throw.

|uthrowname=Heel Drop ({{ja|かかと落とし|Kakato Otoshi}})

|dthrowname=Tile Breaker ({{ja|瓦割り|Kawara Wari}})

|nsdesc=Quickly cups his hands to his side and then thrusts them forward to launch a blue ''ki'' blast from his cupped hands that deals low damage and knockback, and may cause tripping at low percents. As in the original games, Ken's Hadoken is weaker than Ryu's version. Since Ken does not have access to Shakunetsu Hadoken, he can only do two versions of the move: a small blue Hadoken (special button only), and a minutely stronger (1.25× damage) and larger inputted Hadoken (↓ ↘ → + attack/special/side taunt). Combos well out of his tapped tilt attacks and aerials, and is mainly used to rack up damage due to its low damage outputs, knockback and slow speed. Both variants can cancel into his Final Smash. Like in the original ''Street Fighter II'', Ken's Hadoken contains an image of his hands.

|ssdesc=A jumping, spinning crescent kick. Unlike Ryu's version of the move, Ken's version hits multiple times, has less endlag, and the grounded version does not grant intangibility on his leg. Also, Ken will announce the move by name whether he uses the input or not (Ryu only announces the move if it was performed via input). The command-input version (↓ ↙ ← + attack/special/side taunt) deals 1.16× damage. Even if all hits connect, the move deals less damage than the late hit of Ryu's version. The multi-hits can also drag opponents offstage at low percents, making it effective against characters with poor recoveries. However, Ken's Tatsumaki Senpukyaku deals significantly less knockback than Ryu's, repurposing the move from a KOing option into a combo starter and combo extender. Any of the hits can be canceled into his Final Smash.

|usdesc=A leaping uppercut. Ken's Shoryuken deals less knockback than Ryu's equivalent and hits at a slightly more horizontal angle. However, it deals more damage and has powerful hitboxes throughout the move (in contrast to Ryu's Shoryuken, which loses strength the longer it is out). Shoryuken can also drag enemies upwards, letting it kill earlier when close to the top. Depending on how long the button is pressed, Ken's Shoryuken will hit a different amount of times: tapping the button fast causes it to hit once, tapping the button at a mid-fast speed causes it to hit twice, and holding the button performs Heavy Shoryuken: a flaming Shoryuken that hits 3 times. It grants him intangibility on frame 5. The command-input variant (→ ↓ ↘ + attack/special/side taunt) deals 1.2× more damage, has 2/3rds the landing lag, and grants intangibility to his arm from frames 1 to 14. Can cancel into his Final Smash.

|dsdesc=Similar to Ryu's version, but with a spinning kick instead of a punch. Ken gains [[damage-based armor]] that can withstand a single hit below 7%-14% (scaling linearly based on number of frames charged) while charging. Ken takes 0.5× damage during the move, effectively doubling his damage-based armor to 14%-28%. Additionally, the uncharged version on grounded and aerial opponents, as well as the semi-charged and fully-charged versions on aerial opponents, launch opponents at a lower angle.

*{{Sm|AndresFn|Spain}} - Known for playing all four FGC characters but primarily played Ken in 2021 and most of 2022. He is the best Ken player in Europe and is best known for winning {{Trn|Glory 2.0}} with mostly Ken, defeating {{Sm|Flow|p=France}} and {{Sm|Tarik}} twice. He has since relegated the character to a secondary, pulling out the character to defeat {{Sm|Supahsemmie}} at {{Trn|Tera}} and {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}} at {{Trn|Shonen WAR 2}}.

*{{Sm|Jahzz0|USA}} - The best Ken player in the world since 2024, first known for winning {{Trn|Santa Paws 1}} over {{Sm|Anathema}} and defeating {{Sm|Glutonny}} at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 5}}. He is since known for many other performances, including placing 7th at {{Trn|Patchwork 2024}}, 13th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 9}} defeating {{Sm|Shuton}} and 9th at {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind 2023}} defeating {{Sm|Riddles}}.

*{{Sm|takera|Japan}} - One of the best Ken players in the world, spearheading Ken's rise in the metagame after placing 5th at {{Trn|EGS Cup 3}} and 7th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 11}} in the early metagame, defeating {{Sm|KEN}} and {{Sm|Zackray}} in the former event and marking some of the best Ken results of all-time. Although notoriously inconsistent since then, he still remained the only Ken player with multiple top 8 finishes at majors, placing 5th at several events including {{Trn|DELTA 4}} and {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 13}}.

*{{Sm|Vendetta|USA}} - One of the best Ken players in North America and one of the best Ken players in the world in the first half of 2022. He is the first American Ken player to top 8 a major, doing so at {{Trn|Glitch - Infinite}} after defeating {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|WaDi}}, and {{Sm|Goblin}}. His other notable performances include placing 17th at both {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 9}}, defeating {{Sm|Cosmos}} and {{Sm|LeoN}} in the latter event.

In the early stages of ''Ultimate'', Ken and his original fighter {{SSBU|Ryu}} had poor representation due to their high technical learning curve and problems with approaching due to their slow mobility and vulnerability to projectiles. Due to the perception of Ryu at the time being lackluster from the nerfs he received from ''Smash 4'', Ken was viewed more positively as he had access to his input kicks and slightly better mobility, though he was nonetheless perceived as a mid-tier at the time. Future patches to both characters granted them noteworthy buffs that enhanced their close-quarters fighting style, notably giving them a retooled jab that became an excellent combo starter and giving them more leeway to input special moves from many of his attacks. Players initially believed the buffs were more beneficial to Ken, as Ken had a wider array of combos and better mobility and damage-racking capabilities compared to Ryu, leading to Ken to drastically improve in representation in the second half of 2019. This representation was spearheaded by {{Sm|takera}}, who finished top 8 finishes at a few majors during this time, and also included a few good major performances from {{Sm|Sandstorm}}, some notable secondary usage from {{Sm|Riddles}}, and several strong regional-level players such as {{Sm|Nito}} and {{Sm|Venom}}. As such, players widely considered Ken to not only superior than Ryu, but also a high tier, with this perception being maintaned following further buffs to Ken in 7.0.0.

This perception began to change in 2021, as not only did Ryu receive buffs exclusive to him, but many Ken players also began picking up Ryu as a co-main. As such, the representation between the two characters began closing, which was most apparent in 2022: although it marked one of the most successful years for Ken thanks to strong performances from  {{Sm|Vendetta}} in the first half of the year and {{Sm|Jahzz0}} towards the end of the year, it also marked the meteoric rise of {{Sm|Asimo}}, whose results with Ryu eclipsed all results from Ken players during that time. This was reflected in the first tier list, with Ken ranking 34th as a high tier and two spots above Ryu. Following the first tier list, Ken's results at the top level took a hit, as takera remained notoriously inconsistent and Jahzz0's performances were rather low-key save a few high peaks. With Asimo remaining a consistent threat to place high at majors, the community began believing that Ryu was a better character than Ken. As such, Ken slipped to 45th on the second tier list in the B- tier, now ranking thirteen spots below Ryu and tying with {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}} for the largest drop between the two lists. Following the second tier list, Jahzz0 saw a more consistent period in being able to place highly at majors, such as his placings at {{Trn|Patchwork 2024}} and {{Trn|Riptide 2024}}, as well as  recent wins over {{Sm|Kola}} and {{Sm|Riddles}}. As a result, some players believe Ken's steep fall between the first and second tier lists should be reevaluated, with some believing Ken deserves to be ranked higher. Currently, Ken is considered to be inferior to his Echo Fighter, Ryu; however, the extent of how inferior is still up for debate.

==In Spirit Battles==

*One of the gameplay showcases in Ken's reveal trailer depicts him taunting {{SSBU|Zelda}} at [[New Donk City Hall]] before being attacked by {{SSBU|Link}}; ironically, in Ken's home series, he has a girlfriend (who later becomes his wife) named [https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Eliza_Masters Eliza].

*Ken and {{SSBU|Richter}} are the only Echo Fighter newcomers with a CGI trailer as well as the only ones with CGI footage for their splash art. {{SSBU|Daisy}} did not have either, while {{SSBU|Chrom}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} had only gameplay footage for their trailers and their official artwork for their splash arts.

**Strangely, his [[Star KO]] clip is missing in his sound library, making him the only fighter with this distinction.

*If Ken is set as a CPU-opponent in [[Training Mode]], all three CPUs will always face the player, much like on 1-on-1 matches. He shares this distinction with {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}}.

**This also happens if Ken faces a single opponent in a team consisting of two or more characters in [[Team Battle]]s with [[Team Attack]] off, and in [[All-Star Mode]] when he appears.

*A few of Ken's attacks where he uses his legs or feet to attack, such as Focus Attack, are coded as arm or fist [[type]] attacks. This is likely a result of his attacks being copied from Ryu, as many of Ken's leg/foot attacks that are wrongly coded as arm/fist attacks are arm/fist attacks for Ryu.

*In the [[results screen]] after a [[team battle]], if the winning team consists of {{SSBU|Villager}} in the front and Ken behind him to the left, Villager's net will clip through Ken's arm.
