-If Ken isn't close enough to any opponents, he uses the '''Shinryuken''' ({{ja|神龍拳|Shinryūken}}, ''God Dragon Fist''). Upon inputting the command, Ken shouts, "Take this! Shinryuken!", and jumps up into the air with a powerful uppercut, causing a large geyser of fire to erupt around him. Any fighter caught in the geyser will be hit multiple times, before being launched away with great force.

-Similar to Ryu, Ken’s usage of two Final Smashes resembles a similar mechanic in ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'', where two Ultra Combos can be used at the cost of damage. The change in animation based on proximity also matches the way certain Ultra Combos functioned if landed with the initial hitbox. Ironically, Ken’s Shinryuken in ''Street Fighter IV'' had a proximity variant that led to several kicks, similar to its appearance alongside Shippu Jinraikyaku in ''Ultimate''.

-The Shippu Jinraikyaku is a a series of rapid kicks, finishing with an airborne [[Tatsumaki Senpukyaku]]. It was first introduced as the third of his Super Arts in the ''Street Fighter III'' series, and has since appeared in ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'', ''Ultra Street Fighter IV OMEGA Mode'', ''Street Fighter X Tekken'', the ''Capcom vs. SNK series'', and the ''Marvel vs. Capcom series''. In some of these games, it is Ken's strongest technique, requiring most or all of his available meter to perform.
