Talk:Ken (SSBU)

Can somebody create an “attributes” section for Ken like we did Lucina and Chrom?

That way, we have a much more specific version of how Ken plays as his own character, rather than compared to Ryu. Lou Cena (talk) 04:11, 24 February 2019 (EST)

About 3.0.0 changes: The edge attack hitlag reduction is not at all a nerf. It puts both Ken and the opponent who is hit into less freeze frames, but ultimately resulting in the exact same outcome as 2.0.2. Also, in 3.0.0, both Ken and Ryu's Shoryuken animations were altered on frames 4 and 5. https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1119208806972452864 https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1119208446451040257 I've already included this change on Ryu's page, but if someone could add it to Ken's, it would be appreciated.

I would like to add a section similar to the one for Ryu, that's right above the moveset table, all you have to do is change the quote to the one for Ken in the Move List description and change the names for the images from Ryu to Ken

More Edit Requests:

Some of the information in the "Victory Poses" section is incorrect.

The "Punches twice, does a roundhouse kick similar to his forward smash" victory should contain the information that it is "based off of his victory pose throughout the series, specifically his Street Fighter V variant."

The "kicks twice and performs a beckoning gesture, saying 'I knew I'd win! Hah!'" victory is not based on any victory from Street Fighter V. It is instead based off of one of Ken's round start animations from Street Fighter Alpha.

The "I knew I'd win" quote does not exist in Street Fighter V. It originates from Street Fighter IV. It is also in Street Fighter X Tekken.

This last one is subjective, but the black costume for Ken seems to closer resemble Light Kick + Heavy Punch from Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, or Light Punch + Medium Kick + Heavy Punch from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, rather than being based off of Violent Ken.

Roundhouse Kicks pages

I added a split tag because Ken’s roundhouse kicks might need their own page, including origin sections. They are technically special moves after all. If the roundhouse kicks did get their own page though, would they require one page for each move, or should they both share a page? Lou Cena (talk) 15:38, July 8, 2019 (EDT)

Support with shared page. We've never really had "command normals" (for lack of a better term) like this in Smash before, so that might be worth at least one page, but the two moves are so functionally similar (besides Oosoto being a strong single-hit and Nata a weaker multi-hit) that a separate page for each of them would probably be overkill. b2jammer (talk) 20:40, July 11, 2019 (EDT)
