He primarily trades Ryu's stronger knockback in exchange for more combo routes and damage-racking capabilities, similar to their differences in their home series. Although many of his attacks and attributes are identical to Ryu's, Ken also has some unique attacks, and more input command moves, and travels slightly faster on the ground. | ||
