@@rooflemonger ... opposed to Ken for 30 years...? ... well now i'm curious why. XD ... he wasn't a criminal of any kind back then. What do you hate about him...? ... as for me, my cousins and I used to take ownership of characters we choose, so Ken was someone I never got to try. I always liked his flare, but Blue was my color in the group, and I picked Chun Li, so I was fine with picking Ryu as a head-canon pairing. But those years of young days have long since passed and Ken looks more appealing to me than he ever has. Status of a character matters little to me because it is all fictional. Even if they were responsible for offing my favorite character (giving Tekken the stink-eye). ... my thing about fighters is that I absolutely HAVE to be able to RUN. For spacing purposes. I hate dashing with a passion, and now Ken (and Kimberly) have something akin to that that I can utilize whenever I want. So not only does his flashy mix-ups appeal to me more than ever, what sold me on him NOW is that he has the ability to run.
