Strengths

Weaknesses

Strong Assists: Fully invincible anti-air that comes out fast and stays invincible all the way up as Ken does his shoryuken and a combo friendly tatsu assist give Ken options as a teammate. Hurricane Kick Damage: Ken's air tatsu is capable of doing a ton of damage, more than his supers can do! The Kenfinite: Access to a practical infinite. Invinciblity Options: Both shoryukens have invincibility to go through most attacks but also Shoryureppa super travels far and get through attacks with invincibility.

Lower health: Takes 106% damage, slightly more than normal. Limited mobility: He has his roll and air tatsu but lack of options leaves him vulnerable.

Infinites

On most characters if they are at normal jump height: (Jump j.LP > j.MP > qcb + j.LK) repeat. Video: off Rogue throw assist, off Rogue throw by VDO, off Akuma-Y by EXProminence, off Spiral-Y by Kelm (also uses the 3 u.MK infinite), off Rogue throw starting midscreen by VDO. You can use either hurricane kick strength.

On most characters if they are at normal jump height: (Jump j.LP > j.MP > j.u.MK) repeat. Video: off Psylocke-A by Kelm

On Sentinel at normal jump height: (j.LK > j.MP > j.MK > j.HK) repeat. Video: off Akuma-Y by Khaos

Strategies

The "Dodge Roll" can prove quite useful. This move can be used to roll behind your opponent and launch a surprise attack.
