Ken Masters is Ryu's eternal best friend and sparring rival. He trains constantly in order to keep up with Ryu, focusing on his signature move, the Shoryuken. He also has a family life, with his wife Eliza and his son Mel.
 
In CvS2 Ken is a strong shoto-style character. While he has a weaker fireball, and no red fireball, his dragon punch specials are higher damage, stronger, and overall much better. Up close, his mixup and pressure game is strong, with multiple overheads, low confirms, and a great pressure ender with his light Geri Kick special. He still has access to the great shoto normals as well.


Ken works well in any groove, but is mostly seen in A groove where he can perform powerful Custom Combos while retaining mechanics like roll. In C groove, he gets access to a strong level 2 combo and more freedom on spending meter, and in N groove he gets great mobility with runs and hops and Max Mode which is a useful way for him to spend meter.

Not bad to throw out in similar places you would do the medium version, but you will get anti-aired more often.

Introduction

Ken Masters is Ryu's eternal best friend and sparring rival. He trains constantly in order to keep up with Ryu, focusing on his signature move, the Shoryuken. He also has a family life, with his wife Eliza and his son Mel.

In CvS2 Ken is a strong shoto-style character. While he has a weaker fireball, and no red fireball, his dragon punch specials are higher damage, stronger, and overall much better. Up close, his mixup and pressure game is strong, with multiple overheads, low confirms, and a great pressure ender with his light Geri Kick special. He still has access to the great shoto normals as well.

Ken works well in any groove, but is mostly seen in A groove where he can perform powerful Custom Combos while retaining mechanics like roll. In C groove, he gets access to a strong level 2 combo and more freedom on spending meter, and in N groove he gets great mobility with runs and hops and Max Mode which is a useful way for him to spend meter.
