[@LadyLynxes]

We all know that Ken is the product of a Capcom board meeting, where someone started the meeting off by saying, in a super plain intonation, “So, who’s the best character gonna be on launch?” Like come on, this guy has fire effects and they still pulled up? Ryu gets his signature lightning on exactly 2 moves, while Ken is out here doing a flame dance like it’s a music festival. Ken was an inside job.

[@userb1x1]

Ken’s been top tier in all the SFs i dont see a problem

Ey Justin, love the videos 👍 I was wondering if you’d possibly be down to throw in a controller display on your videos/streams. I think it’d be cool to see what you’re doing with your buttons and helpful for people trying to learn

[@MrOuest]

Waaay too many people are Ken mains in SF6. Feels like 80% of my ranked matches are against Ken.

[@IwatchTubiTrash]

He's kind of killing my enjoyment of the game a bit due to his popularity/use.

[@Mdroudian]

It's because everyone knows deep down Ken is slightly broken, and they all want to take advantage of it. I say nerf his damage output, considering the amount of tools he has at his disposal.

[@kobeoshi694]

Nah, fam, it's cuz fire looks cool, and he's easy to master.

[@spiderousmenace]

@@MdroudianIt’s because he’s fun and straightforward

[@noXeFonice]

He's a freakin' professional in fighting games for over a decade, basically this is what he's doing for a living, of course he is better than you

[@rachelespiritu4215]

Lol, Justin's over two decades in now. Hell, it's been 19 years since Moment 37, and he was already a top pro back then.

[@Xmanonly]

@rachelespiritu4215 Thanks for the history lesson. I wasn't aware of how extensive Justin's career has been. I'm still relatively new to fighting games. I started following due to him appearing on SMUG's channel. I knew he was good, but good lord he's incredible.

Always wondered y more players don’t counter pick Ryu to fight Ken in tournament play

[@takeshii]

Is it a counter pick?? If so I'm gonna pick him up lolol.

[@Uooooooooooooh]

@@takeshiiI wouldn't say straight up counter pick but Ryu can fight him pretty well

[@EdokLock]

I'm a Ken main, Currently Master Rank.. Imho I think unless you are AngryBird, Ryu wins the matchup slightly..

[@seph13x]

Yeah that's been my feeling as well. Ryu seems to actually counter Ken by a not insignificant amount. As a Diamond Ryu player I almost never lose to Ken and even beat a decently ranked Master Ken player 4-2. I think Ryu's better fireball forces Ken to play more "Honest" and then Ryu just hits like a truck in comparison.

[@chrisl797]

@@seph13xso true. Ryu’s neutral range also feels far superior as far as options go. Ken has decent jabs but because of that, he’s predicable and easily punishable when you pick up on that. Because this game doesn’t often reward rush down, Ken can easily lose advantage when getting too close to Ryu - which is opposite to what one would think, but then comes as a surprising loss to most Ken players. And if for some reason the Ryu decides to poke and back away often, that’s a long, painful, and inevitable loss for Ken. Thankfully I’ve only run into a few Ryu’s that abuse that though

[@JohnSmith-rr3jt]

Ken auto-loses to JP and Guile. Deejay and Luke do the exact same thing Ken does but better in every way. Ken has no answer to Blanka or Honda except perfect parry and uppercuts on reaction. Ken isn't even top 5 lol.

[@richardjonas3956]

As a Ken player, can confirm. I complain a lot.

[@shintenkai1648]

I really hope they nerf ken all the way to the bottom. I've been a ken main since sf2, it won't change, but atleast the band wagoneers will get off of ken and when i still beat the high tier crap out of them they will have no excuses

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

I LOVE this game, but its ridiculous how many Ken's I face in ranked. Its like 80% Kens. I don't think its all because he's meta, I honestly think there just isn't enough "cool" looking characters in SF6. Like it or not most people pick a main based on this alone. Lily for instance, like is anyone thinking she looks cool? Manon? Its one thing MK has in spades over Street Fighter. Once Akuma is out everyone will be on him, even if he sucks.

[@Xmanonly]

I only became a ken main because of his default outfit. That coupled with his flashy moves explains why he's so popular.

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

@@Xmanonly Yup the flashy moves is a big one. I had a casual friend who said he saw he had fire moves in a trailer so picked him. Definitely a big reason too.

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

As a none fighting game expert I can confirm most casual people main a character for cool factor alone.

[@noXeFonice]

​@@Xmanonlynot to mention his badass attitude coupled up with the outcast/renegade/fugitive profile

[@gerrya2133]

Sure, I agree about Lily and Manon not looking cool. But Ryu and Guile have never looked cooler. Basically all the returning SFII are improved in the looks department or have the ability to go classic look. It's not like Ken is the S class cool looking character and everyone else is a D or F. Maybe he's a first pick for looks, but it's the meta that keeps them playing him. Most people won't keep playing a character they keep losing with.

[@PS5ProGaming23]

"How's this!?"

[@mopey1797]
