Ken
A TierKen excels in aggressive play, utilizing his fast-paced movement and powerful combos to overwhelm opponents. His neutral special, Hadoken, can be used to zone and pressure, while his side special, Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, provides great mobility and can lead into devastating follow-ups. To maximize damage, practice connecting his Up Special, Shoryuken, after landing hits, and mix up your combos with the Down Special, Focus Attack, to keep opponents guessing. However, Ken struggles against characters with strong zoning tools and projectiles, as they can disrupt his aggressive approach and keep him at bay.

Tips for Ken
- Be unpredictable. Ken’s entire playstyle is centered around mind games and baiting and punishing your opponent.
- Learn to use pftilt(the move ken flicks his leg straight forward in straight line) since if you can land that, you can easily combo into upair true dp/attack cancel back air/nair up air string etc.
- Crescent kick (reverse quarter circle) is actually nuts. It combos into literally everything. Down smash, F smash, grab, down tilt, shoryu, nair, and even dair.
- Almost all of Ken’s moves have multiple degrees to which you can use them, ex. Down tilt has a short and long, his short is perfect for confirms with his inputs or up B.
- Search up and learn how to perform medium dp consistently, since medium dp(pretty much up b without fire effect and does the double hit effect) kills earlier then fire dp when you and enemy is airborn
