Introduction

MvC2ken.png

He's got blonde hair and thus is clearly nothing like Ryu.

Midtier. His dragon punch and glitched hurrican kick make him playable.

Colors

First row: LP, HP, A1. Second row: LK, HK, A2.

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.

Advanced Strategy

There's more useful discussion of the practicalities and strengths of Ken in SRK's old The only ken thread you will EVER need.
