Introduction
Ken Masters is the long-time friend and rival of Ryu in the Street Fighter series, having been playable as far back as the original SF in 1987. Whereas Ryu is a more balanced, zoning friendly shoto, Ken is more aggressive and flashy with his fighting style. Ken is usually a pretty strong pick in the Street Fighter games and even some spinoff games, and sure, he isn't the worst character here, either, but almost every other shoto is better suited for SVC than he is. Sporting his classic DP isn't enough to help him get by when what good points he does have, other characters probably do better and then some. He's too honest for his own good in a broken game. If you heavily insist on playing an easy character and you never jived with Ryu, there are still better options, but Ken at least has some usefulness.

The Basics
Ken's gameplan
Ken is a simple close-range(Or rushdown) char, with nice moves to help him on that, like the air tatsu and his damaging supers. He needs to be agressive, because if Ken takes a combo/is being pressured, especially in Max Mode, he will get a free stun/guard crush, and that's why you need to master the GCF, or the CD counter. For an anti-air, just do a DP+A, it's fast, and will knock your opponent down, which gives you time to plan on "what to do now?", and the answer is... Continue being argressive, and stylish. Oh, and the almost useless moves... The projectile, and the ground tatsu... You can avoid them, really, they won't help you. Well, play agressive, don't give your opponent time to breathe, avoid some somes, do combos, and know how to master his defensive options(They aren't that hard too). Good luck in your future matches.
Some combos (Without Max Mode)
Ken's combo options in the normal mode are good, and easy to do, so don't think that you'll need to do long combos now. I'll add some notable ones here, and if you know some more possible combos, add them below(Please, no hadouken combos here).
1- [Jump Attack/Air tatsu(Interesting note: You can do crossups with the Air Tatsu)] cl.C/cr.B, cl.B, DP+C/Any Super/Exceed
Easy combo. You have two options on this combo too, one for damage, and the other for a low starter. For some finishers, you'll need to crossup with the Jump Attack to make it work. You should learn this combo, and practice Ken's crossups too.
2- [Jump Attack/Air tatsu(If you want to add it, make sure you crossup)] cl.C/cr.B, cl.B, db+D, QCB(2x)+K
Another good, and damaging combo. Practice this combo, and it's easier to do with the cl.C(You'll have a little more time to react and cancel it). If you want, you can add a QCB+B after the db+D, but it can be safe this time. I said that it can.
Advanced Strategy
Double Shoryuken cancel
This is a tech that you should learn for Ken's advanced combos(It's a good way to spend meter). The Double Shoryuken cancel is a very important thing in Ken's game(Isn't unique for him, he isn't the only character that can link more than one DP in one combo), but it's a little tricky to do. This can be called "Double", but you can repepat it many times, but based in your Max Mode gauge. Now, "How can I do it?" First, Ken must not have the ability to use his Exceed(If you assume you are in a real match, you can either be with the yellow life, or you can even spend your Exceed before you try this). Now, Ken must be in Max Mode(You should open your training mode while you read this). Now, do a DP+C, and as you already know, it does 3 hits. Now, the tricky part begins. First, try to "cancel" the first hit of the DP+C into a QCF+KK(Normally, if you had the Exceed avaliable, you would combo into the Exceed. It's like Kim's Haki cancel, if you know what I mean). You can be asking: "Is this a special move?" No, this isn't even a move, it's just part of the trick. Now, after you "canceled", did Ken flash? If not, I'm sorry, because you missed. If yes, that's fine, but that's only the easiest part. Now, try to, after the "cancel", do another DP+C on your opponent by canceling the second hit of the DP. Ken will do another DP+C, and remember that in Max Mode, you can Supercancel the DP+C, leading to more damaging combos! But sadly, you can't do DP into Exceed, because you must not have the Exceed avaliable to use this tech... I know, it's hard to do, but with practice, you can master this technique. (Important note: This thing is very harder to do with Ken's Violent version.)
Some combos (With Max Mode)
I'll put here only some notable combos, and again, if know some more possible ones, add them below.
1- [Jump Attack/Air Tatsu(Works better if you crossup)] cl.C/cr.B, cl.B, DP+C, (Optional Double Shoryuken Cancel), QCB(2x)+K
Ken's BnB in Max Mode, and one of Ken's most damaging ones. Pretty easy, except for the fact that you can do Double Shoryuken Cancels(But that's optional, remember that everytime). Practice this combo, you'll need it for your life.
2- (Corner only, and tall/big characters only) [Jump Attack/Air tatsu(I think the Air tatsu is better, we're talking about tall chars)] cl.C/cr.B, cl.B, DP+C, (max cancel the second hit) HCF+D, (max cancel the second hit) DP+C, (Optional Double Shoryuken Cancel), (Supercancel the first/second hit of any DP into) QCB(2x)+K
A variation of the combo number one. Pretty good, I can assume, but you should stick with the first, because those tall characters aren't that used(Except in Sagat/Demitri's cases). Good luck on this one, it's a little tricky too.
