View source for Street Fighter 3: 2nd Impact/Ken

=Introduction=
In 2nd Impact, Ken is very similar to his 3S counterpart. He has plenty of ways to combo into super art 3, though shoto crouching forward kick doesn't have as much range as in 3S, and it's harder to cancel. His jumping forward kick cross up is harder to land, and he lacks double shoryus. Regardless, Ken is still quite a solid contender in 2I. Super art 1 is also considered a good choice in this game.

Slightly slower than close LP, but the main problem with this move is that it whiffs on crouch. Pretty bad move.

|description=
Generally better than stand LP, since while it has worse frame data, stand LK doesn't whiff on crouch. Still pretty bad, don't use this.

|description=
Very important move to discourage parries and confirm into super with TC. Without meter you can do LP shoryu but it needs to be cancelled fast.

|description=
Good move, you can confirm super off of it plus it has good range. Probably more useful in this game since crouch MK has such a short cancel window than in 3S.

Pretty good since you can confirm into super off of it, but generally outclassed by close MP.

Not great, probably just use stand MP instead since that's plus on block and confirms into super.

Easily Ken's worst normal, don't use this almost ever. It's slow and very minus, the range is good but it isn't worth it.

|description=
Very good move, useful for building meter, stuffing approaches, and counter-poking. Plus enough to confirm into super, so there's a pretty massive amount of threat behind this move with enough meter.

Probably Ken's most important poke, although the cancel window is too short to confirm into super. Despite this, it's still a great neutral tool.

Pretty bad anti air, generally either use shoryu for damage or  stand/close LP for safety.
