Dude, I'm so inspired by your hard work. You literally updated and upgraded your history of Ken video and you didn't even have too. You inspire me to keep pushing and put in the work every time I see you do something awesome! It shows your dedication to what you love, it shows your resolve and discipline when you do a video you technically done before. Like an artist redrawing an old picture and seeing how much you've grown since then. Respect
Ken's story in SF6 definitely seems like some classic action movie. A man who had it all, wealth, a family, skill, fame, then mysteriously loses it all. He will do everything he can to gain it all, and stop the foe who caused him such trauma. See Ken Masters in STREET FIGHTER 6!!!
I do love the thematic disconnect between some of these characters, mainly those embroiled in a genuine overarching plotline and those are simply pursuing their dreams, and how they end up clashing in street fights that'll probably end with the carefree soul awkwardly muttering 'that's rough, buddy' while the storyline sap laments the terrible conflicts they've dealt with. Like, Manon's here having a great time, balancing her professions and passions, proudly declaring herself the world's strongest supermodel, and then you have poor Ken, his contributions to Bison's defeat undermined by a criminal conspiracy, forced to abandon his family and business, scrounging on the sidelines in a vigilante pursuit of his saboteurs all while knowing his every waking moment is a nightmarish fear of what will happen to those he cares about if he fails to clear his name.
It's worth noting that coming in May we'll get the prelude comics that is Street Fighter 6 which will tied in to the game coming out on June which features the new world warriors Jaime,Kimberly & Luke. And with that sheds some light on what transpire between Ken whole situtation, so with that in mind I do hope you will do a followed up on that as well with game that brings it in together for I'm very much interested in what outcomed will be for Ken!
I always wonder why Akuma never tried to go after Ken trying to make him give into the Satsui No Hado but I guess cause he doesn't have a big drive in fighting compare to Ryu or even Sagat so there be no point of him being under the influence of the Dark Hado.
Ryu follows the way of the Do (path) hence why he doesn't stray from the philosophies and teachings from their master Gouken. Probably why he emulates so much of Gouken moves. Ken follows the jutsu (technique) of ansatsuken, always creating new moves and flashy attacks. Being innovative and his family are his drives, not the need to win at all cost. That's why he'll never succumb to the Dark Hadou.
Can't wait to see how much Mel will take after his father in becoming a father cause Mel already in this point in the timeline is being trained to fight.
There is a lot of conflicting SF info out there and with SF6 coming out soon this is a great time for someone to try to make sense of it. If any youtuber can it's you. Looking forward to more, maybe a video looking at best guesses for who won SF2, SFIV, etc. I believe Ryu and Alex are confirmed to have won 1 and 3.
I always imagined Ken's wife Eliza becoming a Fighter maybe have Ken in trouble and being held captive and to save her husband she recruit Chun-Li and Guile to train her that be a interesting turn of events but we'll never get this anyway.
Ken is an amazing character and really his developed is one of the best arcs in SF history. he along with Cammy and Akuma, probably have my favorites arcs in the story of Street Fighter.
Ken is one of my favorite Street fighter characters it was the first one I actually saw it and the first one I played in the game so I have mad respects of this character
I hope (although it would be highly unlikely) that the cause of Ken losing almost everything is Violent Ken and they (Capcom) somehow build an amazing story detailing this and Ken getting retribution👀 What do you guys think?
Well that's a good theory but the key word being 'almost" would imply something rather real tragic of him to turn into Violent Ken like say something real bad happened to Eliza or Mel that would possibly sent him off. Before it was Bison who brainwashed him to go on a rampage against his brother/friend Ryu, but now that he is "dead" that would be other best(or in this case worst) scenario for Ken to have that happen to him.
Cool vid I like how you go into so much depth with each fighter. Can you also do the dead or alive roster and the virtual fighter one as well that would be cool.
Great job on your work of ken's backstory, even with cammy. If you need help with SF timeline wise I would recommend reading the Udon Comics series which has a more firm grasp of the Street Fighter series.
I've always looked at Ken as the Goku to Ryu's Vegeta. Not personality wise obviously. Not sure if that's accurate but it's makes it more interesting rather than base "the story" around the strongest like always.
Great work! Ken is one of my cousin's favorite characters! And then some of my other y favorite characters is Ryu! So those battles were always interesting. lol But the characters I would like for you to do next is Gouken, Goutetsu, Sakura, Charlie and Colonel Guile, in that order. *Sidebar: What's the opposite of the Dark Hado (Raging Demon)? Is it the Heavenly Angel or something? I thought I read that somewhere.
I like the Ken origin story where he tried to keep his parents together by acting out I tried that with my parents when I was a teen and it didn’t work so I can some what relate to what he was going through
I felt the same way. In the past few videos, his cadence has been off. It sounds unnatural. I wonder why he changed it. The older videos are absolutely amazing, but I'm not big on this new cadence he's adopted. It sounds like he got some advice to read it like this, so he tried it, but it's not working out.

Crazy I watched your history video of Ken back in 2016 and now 7 years later watching you cover it again

Happy to see we’re gettin SF content leading to the next title! Keep it up, HBTW!

ken is a pure sport fighter, he doesnt have the same drive as ryu, who is trying to become as strong as he possibly can.
Ryu follows the way of the Do (path) hence why he doesn't stray from the philosophies and teachings from their master Gouken. Probably why he emulates so much of Gouken moves.
Ken follows the jutsu (technique) of ansatsuken, always creating new moves and flashy attacks.
Being innovative and his family are his drives, not the need to win at all cost.
That's why he'll never succumb to the Dark Hadou.
Thank you @Historybehindthewarrior Ken has been my main along with Ryū and Guile.
Can't wait to see how much Mel will take after his father in becoming a father cause Mel already in this point in the timeline is being trained to fight.

"The next SF video will be focused around Juri"
Sold
I am stoked for SF6, absolutely love the direction they’re taking with Ken.
*DJ Khalid voice* Another one! Dope channel!
Ive loved this channel for years now good to see you're still around and doin well
Ken is an amazing character and really his developed is one of the best arcs in SF history. he along with Cammy and Akuma, probably have my favorites arcs in the story of Street Fighter.
Love your hard work dude. It's awesome you're remastering many history of characters
I can't wait until you do Akuma!
Fun fact, Ken and Guiles wives are sisters making them brothers in law.
Ken is one of my favorite Street fighter characters it was the first one I actually saw it and the first one I played in the game so I have mad respects of this character
Ken was always my favorite of the original three because of his growth. Though he is my second favorite character in Street Fighter
Ken has been my main.. AND ALWAYS BE MY MAIN!
Another perfect breakdown of the second face of street fighter. Would love to see you do a video on violent ken.
Hopefully, we get to see Sean and Mel in SF6
I would love to see you do a history of T. Hawk
You did an amazing video on my boy,But i kinda hope you do one on Dan Hibiki,And Adon.
I hope (although it would be highly unlikely) that the cause of Ken losing almost everything is Violent Ken and they (Capcom) somehow build an amazing story detailing this and Ken getting retribution👀

Great video my dude 😎

Ken has always been my fav fictional character
I'm still waiting for Akuma!😭
9:20 Ken has something Ryu doesn't. A life outside of fighting.
Ken, Ryu and Chun-Li are such a trio
They are getting replaced
Fighting games are taking over the gaming industry.. street fighter, tekken and mk12.. ima be playing fighting games for the next 3 years
Great job on your work of ken's backstory, even with cammy. If you need help with SF timeline wise I would recommend reading the Udon Comics series which has a more firm grasp of the Street Fighter series.
Something you could (and should) have added as part of this is that Eliza is Guile's sister.
I'm curious to see an unhinged Ken. One who's a bit more serious than the originals.
I've always looked at Ken as the Goku to Ryu's Vegeta. Not personality wise obviously. Not sure if that's accurate but it's makes it more interesting rather than base "the story" around the strongest like always.

Nice video. But no mention of Street Fighter 2010 on NES.
Ken is my fav
Can you please do the history of Blanka next he is my favourite street fighter character.
Can you do dead or alive characters? After you do street fighter characters
Ken father's name is Dantom Masters he always say to him to be more responsible for one day he'll take over the hotel business
Can you make lily from Street Fighter 6
Finally...another remake
I like the Ken origin story where he tried to keep his parents together by acting out
I tried that with my parents when I was a teen and it didn’t work so I can some what relate to what he was going through
Yes you did it 😎💪
Life of Guile next please
😢😢😢😢
Bro please do akuma next he only matters 😭‼️‼️
Can you please do Rose!!!
Yeah! The *true* world's strongest woman is next!
Awesome video but
Tbh I Wish Ken was the MC In SF6 instead of Luke and our custom MC Especially since what's recently happening with him
Ryu is like naruto of street fighter while Ken is like sasuke of street fighter.
You got it wrong . Ken would be Naruto and Ryu would be Sasuke
@@jahjr92aka187 yes in terms of character designs but I am talking about ryu is main character and Ken is secondary character and the fan base.
Terrible take
Please stop😂
Yes... cause Ken is American and Japanese mixed.
Ken is slightly faster than ryu & imo can execute more combos
I Like Kens New Design For Sf6, I Really Didn't Like The Sf5 Design That Much.
I like ken
YES!! The Queen of feet Juri Han is next!
Stay cultured fellas
This story is so dumb. Whenever they eventually reboot, I hope they reign the storyline in and get all the writers on one accord.
Ah so Ken is Ryu's master, or is Ken the master of martial arts
Second...🙂
Not to sound mean, but what's with the script read? It sounds so unnatural, specially compared to your older videos
I felt the same way. In the past few videos, his cadence has been off. It sounds unnatural. I wonder why he changed it. The older videos are absolutely amazing, but I'm not big on this new cadence he's adopted. It sounds like he got some advice to read it like this, so he tried it, but it's not working out.
🙂🙂🙂
Ken is better and cooler
This gameplay footage is horrible.
