Introduction
About Ken
Ken needs little introduction. One of the two famous shotos, he's a beginner-friendly character. A bit unlike in the past, his tools are now more directly oriented towards rushdown, and is now more easily seperatable from Ryu in terms of gameplay. He has a slowish fireball and bad pokes, but instead has great corner carry, great mobility, solid damage and some of the better v-meter building in the game. Despite that, one of this most notable weaknesses in his offensive game is that he doesn't gain many + frames on block from his normals, limiting his pressure game. Overall, Ken isn't a bad character at all to start.
