    I think Ken's redesign as a more close up range plays into his overall attitude really well. He's been put through hard times, he's sick and tired of everyone's crap and just wants to get it over with, so he'll get right up into people's faces and kick them to ruin their shit as quick as possible.

      Even better: in the first round, Guild is there but he's in the middle distance AND wearing a flight helmet, so it's really hard to tell that it's him. For round 2, he walks into the near background, takes off the helmet and hands to the dude in green by the "Street Fighter" flag, and that's when everyone notices "Oh hey, Guile's here!"

  • @Darkkfated

    Not mentioned: EX Wheel Kick (in-game name: Dragonlash Kick) ALSO Ground Bounces the opponent and lets you follow up with a Shoryu or Level 3 Super, if you want to skip the running start and are willing to burn some Drive Gauge instead.
    Also, Ken's Level 2 Super only has 1 single frame of Invincibility on startup, meaning that if you do it raw it's actually pretty easy for your opponent to use light attacks to knock you out of it. Basically, wake-up Level 2 is a bad idea; use it as a combo extender.
    For reference, your Level 3 Super changes into your Critical Art (and gets the alternate animation/more damage) when your life bar goes yellow instead of being blue or red. (The "3" next to your Super Meter also changes to "CA")
    Also, I LOVE how Shoryurepa used to be a Super move, but now Ken's gotten so good that it's just his EX DP.
    Also also, I think they did a great job showing off how Ken and Ryu have evolved their fighting style over the years: Ken focuses on kicks and uses momentum to add fire to his special moves and it's clear he's put his own personal, aggressive spin on Ansatsuken. Ryu, on the other hand, has taken what Gouken has taught him and spent decades perfecting it, while adding in his own flair in the form of powering up his moves with the Power of Nothingness (read: electricity) with the Denjin charge, Denjin Hadouken, the Critical Art version of Shin Shoryu, and the Hashogeki.

    1:04 Jinrai on close range with 12 startup frames is not a tool, you should use, only in very special cases.
    2:04 the BIGGEST problem in street fighter, is a character, which dont use this range. So, easy to poke against Ken like in SFV
    2:32 this is NOT a crazy kick, its a pretty RISKY kick on close range with 12 startup frames. Faster buttons from opponents will EASY hit Ken.
    2:34 Dragonslash kick with 23 startup frames, which means, you cant spam this moves and have to calculate it extrem well, otherwise oppoent will EASY counter you
    3:35 extrem risky to do a dragonpunch raw after a run
    3:55 pluss 3, but HIGH risk, if opponent block, whn you do the hurricane kick raw and then you get a full combo from the opponent
    4:35 if you do this combo, you waste many bars and should be aware of it, cause you loose your pressure after ... so, not a very effective combo
    5:32 like every other character makes massivley damage with lvl 3
    5:42 pretty fun? Totaly wasting of super and damage. Never should do this.
    6:06 using jumping tatsumaki is pretty INCONSISTENT, where you often dont hit, cause your opponent is moving and the hitbox is pretty small
    6:23 its not a pretty effective crosscut mix up, its an incosistent combo with low damage.
    6:49 that is not a big damage, if you look on the health bar, its pretty less damage for wasting super and so many bars.
    7:04 not beeing a poking character means, that the opponents will easy poke you. Cause that mid-range is the most important and the primary range of the work. If you cant poke, you have much harder work to get in. If oyu can poke, you have easier to get in and every character is strong, if he get in.
    7:25 its not the most aggressiv Ken in Street Fighter, definitaly not. Ken in SF6 is even the worst character in the Beta.
    7:34 Ken is NOT an offensive character, if he dont have tools to get in and most important is the ability to close gaps efficentilyy and poke the opponent. Ken stays as a REACTIVE character like in SFV
    So how you portray Ken isn't quite right...the things you list you've ignored the downsides and risky traits.

    2:01 incorrect. He has some of the best range and whiff punish damage in the game with s.hk.
    Also s.hp is very good too

    I don’t like this new art style. If the barefeet aren’t the size of the character’s torso, it just doesn’t feel like SF

    Ken's head is proportionally too small for his body in this game, WTF?

    Man this game needs to change the combo system and add more moves . Combos are too short and only few moves lead to combos. I want more options for movement and combos.
