A far-reaching thrust.

  • Good priority makes it a great way to deal with "rushing" moves (Blanka Rolls, Hawk Dives, Honda Headbutts, etc.
  • Also a decent anti-air.
  • Beats most pokes.
  • The best attack to start a Fierce HHS from due to the startup, but this adds to the move's execution.
  • Hits every crouching opponent except Blanka, so it can be used as a safe meaty on most knockdowns.
  • Especially handy against Shoto wakeup jab Shoryuukens (Harder to do against Ken since his Shoryuken has more horizontal range than Ryu's).

Ken performs a straight punch.

  • Very good recovery, reach and priority.
  • Works as anti-air against moves whose extended limbs are vulnerable, but Ken's body moves forward a bit, so you'll need some room to use it correctly.

8 8 11 27 -1 4/3

A very flexible split kick.

  • Pretty similar to the far version with worse vertical priority and worse recovery.
  • Also triggers from farther away than most other close normals of its ilk, so it's harder to activate the Far version.
  • Reaches higher than the far version, but the extended hurtbox gives the move significantly worse priority.
  • At least it hits straight up.

Ken does a crouching straight.

  • Good damage, stun, recovery and priority.
  • This move can be used as a safe meaty against several invulnerable special attacks from the correct distance. However, this can be countered by standing still (which shrinks the hurtbox horizontally) and then either attacking or walking up and throwing. It's also unsafe against most supers.

Ken's sweep kick.

  • Soft knockdown on hit.
  • Good range and the priority is such that it beats or trades with a number of moves.
  • Very long recovery however, so good players will often bait and punish this move.
  • Top shoto players will often cancel this move into either a LP Shoryuken (harder to punish and generates meter) or a Hadoken (the pushback makes the move practically unpunishable).
  • Walking up cr.Roundhouse xx Hadouken is an important skill for shoto players to master, due to the spacing it generates.
  • Tied with Ryu for the fastest sweep startup in the game (3 frames), which makes it really good in pressure situations.

Ken performs a jumping jab that is active throughout the whole jump.

  • Ken's hand has a relatively large active hitbox around it, making this a good air-to-air move.
  • It can be used for jumping on your opponent after a knockdown. The small amount of pushback allows for mixups such as throw, cr.forward xx Hadoken/Super, or delayed Jab Shoryuken (to beat reversal throws).

  • The Diagonal Jump version stays out shorter, but has better air to ground priority.

Ken performs a jumping jab that is active throughout the whole jump.

  • Ken's hand has a relatively large active hitbox around it, making this a good air-to-air move.
  • It can be used for jumping on your opponent after a knockdown. The small amount of pushback allows for mixups such as throw, cr.forward xx Hadoken/Super, or delayed Jab Shoryuken (to beat reversal throws).
  • Beats Zangief's Lariats from the right distance and still hits him if he crouches.

  • Ken's unmistakable uppercut. Invincible on frames 1-6.
  • Jab does the most damage in a vacuum and rises the least.
  • Most obvious use is a general-purpose anti-air, as it's easy to land.
  • Properly time this and you'll beat any normal your opponent might throw out. Miss and you'll likely get punished. Some high level players like to do two in a row, reasoning that the second might connect with an opponent's counterattack if they time it a bit too late.
  • Allows for continued pressure after a knockdown.
  • Easier to perform in neutral than Ryu's due to the added horizontal priority and lesser recovery.
  • Also can be used to avoid projectiles due to the invincibility frames.
  • Ken's best reversal, since it's safe on block due to the knockback/great rising priority.
  • Likely your go-to combo ender since all other versions will whiff the knockdown part when used in combos.
  • While other Shoryukens do deal more damage when all hits connect, they'll likely whiff if used in combos.
  • In addition, the first hit of jab Shoryu is a confirmed knockdown, while all other Shoryus need more hits to knockdown. This will likely be your go-to combo ender as a result.
  • Not just Ken's bread and butter, it's the whole damn bakery.

Ken's iconic spinning kick. Propels you forward with hitboxes ahead and behind you.

  • All strengths are the same in terms of damage, but differ in distance and amount of spins.
  • Since your hurtbox shrinks while using this move, you can use Tatsus to travel straight over Guile's Sonic Booms and Dhalsim's Yoga Flames. You may be able to do this with Dee Jay's Air Slashers/Max Outs, but only the Strong/Fierce versions.
  • This attack will likely be VERY unsafe on block, as pushback almost guarantees not all of the hits will connect.
  • Ken can't use this move as a reversal or a safe jump avoider due to a lack of invincibility, but he can avoid throws since he's instantly airborne.

The Tatsumaki Senpukyaku except airborne.

  • Instead of propelling you forward like a normal Tatsu, each kick temporarily decreases your gravity value (How fast you fall from a jump) as well as slightly boosting your horizontal velocity. This means you'll fall slower if performed on the way down, and gain more height on the way up. Your gravity returns to normal once the kick ends.
  • 50% chance to be unblockable if hit on the first frame.
  • This move has a variety of uses. You can use it as an alternative aerial since the hitbox is pretty far out (but so is the hurtbox).
  • You can also surprise the enemy with a sudden movement change, or you can simply use it to build meter on the way down from a jump.
  • Skillful use allows you to cross-up enemy air counters like the Flash Kick to hit the opponent from behind, too!
  • Can combo on the way down and hits crouching characters more often, so it's well suited for shenanigans.
  • Since there's no minimum activation requirement unlike Ryu's tatsu, Ken can create a rather parabolic jump arc or activate right before landing for the best possible frame advantage.
  • Keep in mind that the priority on air Tatsus isn't as good as the grounded version.
  • Also keep in mind that once you land, you have 7 frames of landing animation you can't cancel out of whatsoever.

Crazy Kicks

Officially known as Roundhouse Kicks, called Crazy Kicks by the community as to not confuse people with the roundhouse button. All of them have the same power regardless of what kick button pressed to use them, but all will turn into an Inazuma Kick overhead if you hold them. They're not very useful, but they're there.

A fast high hitting kick.

  • Combos very easily off of Crouching Short/Forward
  • Extended part does a lot of stun damage, which is very good when you want to land one of Ken's high damaging combos.
  • Best Crazy Kick to cancel into Inazuma Kick due to the quick startup. Still way slower than other character's overheads.
  • The first active part of this move can hit crouching Dhalsim, Sagat, T.Hawk, Zangief, and Old Fei Long. Dee Jay and Boxer can also be hit, but you have to be very close.
  • Can be used as a built in safejump in some matchups by canceling sweep into this move, then holding up-forwards. This works on Cammy and Fei Long, and may also work on Zangief if you attack with Jumping Jab (as to avoid his Lariats) and Zangief doesn't crouch.

A slower two-hit kick.

  • Grants a lot of frame advantage, but has a VERY slow startup.
  • Hits most crouching characters (whiffs completelly against Blanka, and only the first hit can reach a crouching Cammy).
  • Usually an annoyance since you can accidentally pull this off when attempting a walk in sweep. It's vital for New Ken players to avoid using this move.
  • Has the slowest startup out of Ken's Crazy Kicks, so it's unsuitable as a Inazuma cancel.
  • It does at the very least add Outside Crescent's first hitbox to the Inazuma Kick, comboing into the overhead.
  • It's called a Crazy Kick because you'd be crazy to pull this off in an actual match.

Ken's old Far Standing Roundhouse, but worse, and jankier.

  • Less active frames and worse priority than his old RH.
  • First hit does a hard knockdown, second hit is one of the few moves in the game that does a Far Knockdown. For some reason.
  • The first active part can hit a crouching Dhalsim, Zangief, T.Hawk, or Sagat. You can also hit Boxer and Dee Jay while really close. Second part will only hit crouching Dhalsim or Dee Jay up close.
  • If you manage to hit with the hard knockdown somehow, you can follow up with a Roundhouse Tatsu or a juice kick to get your opponment close to the corner, and close to you.
  • Some players like to use this move to fake a Hadoken, since the first sprite on startup is the same across both moves.
  • Against other Shotos, if you're on the starting side (Left if you're Player 1, Right if you're Player 2) you can hit this move point blank to switch sides with your opponent. Follow this up with a Jab Shoryuken using the crosscut input for a surprise knockdown.
  • Canceling this into an Inazuma Kick allows you to temporarily change sides with Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Cammy, Fei Long, Boxer, and Claw, making their reversals whiff.
  • While QCF+K has a better startup for Inazumas, this move can be useful for them since you can safely space them against Zangief's SPD, due to his hitboxes being projected way ahead of his throw hurtbox.
  • Can be used as a built in safe jump by canceling a sweep into this move, then holding up towards (Unless your opponent touches the corner during their knockdown animation). This works on Ryu, E. Honda, Cammy, Fei Long, and Dictator.
  • Hitting with the second part also allows for safe jumps, if you hit with it and then jump twice in a row. This works on Ryu, T. Hawk, Fei Long, Dee Jay, and Dictator, and also works on Zangief if you jump with Jab or Strong.
  • It's called a Crazy Kick because it's crazy how jank they made this move.

Ken's Overhead conversion. Can be performed from any of his Crazy Kicks, but the overall strength doesn't change depending on button or Crazy Kick performed.

  • One of the game's slower overheads.
  • Move starts after the first 2 active frames of each Crazy Kick, so this move's startup is equal to the Crazy Kick's startup + 2, plus 18 (or 20 if using the HCF version)
  • Recommended to perform this from Ken's QCF Kick, since that has the least startup.
  • Rarely used in mixups as a result of the move's poor startup.
  • Kick must be held for the entire duration of the move's startup (7f/16f/12f)

Ken does a Shoryuken, then another Shoryuken.

  • Invincible until Ken falls down from his second DP (Frames 1-57)
  • Creates a juggle state.
  • Ken has very little landing recovery frames, so a throw or a DP on landing can catch an unsuspecting opponent (If they allow you to land).
  • Can't be used as an invincible reversal for some reason. You'll just get a special move instead.

New Ken's prejump animation was nerfed on ST by 1 frame, so unlike Old Ken, who has a considerably fast prejump animation, New Ken's prejump is of average speed. This for the most part is a disadvantage.

There's a small gap between the leg hurtbox and chest hurtbox on Ken's backward prejump frames. You can actually abuse it to evade Low Tiger Shots entirely, and even can even evade meaty Low Tiger Shots on wake up since the first wake up frame will be the first prejump frame if you wake up holding up-back. Mattsun does this frequently. Be aware though that if it's a meaty Short Low Tiger Shot you'll most likely end up landing on it, unless you react with an Air Tatsu to alter your jump trajectory, of course.

The landing recovery has a special property which allows it to be canceled into certain actions. At the first landing frame, you can perform throws (including command throws), and on the second landing frame, you can start another jump, attack with a normal or special move, or block. Blocking not being until the second landing frame, as well as hitbox-hurtbox interactions having priority over throwbox-throw hurtbox is why sweeps work as anti airs in this game.
Things are different when jumping over your opponent, however. In that situation it's possible to walk back/forward, to jump again or to even block on the first landing frame! Strangely, if a throw is timed on the first landing frame of a jump that crosses over, a throwbox will never come out, even though that input will result in a normal coming out 2 frames later (like it normally would). Anyway, being able to block on the first landing frame can help a little bit on some safe jump crossup setups, or maybe in other situations as well if your character has a huge jump arc.
