HNNNNNNNNGGGGG HE LOOKS SO COOL. They gave him back his brown eyes! And a nice design overall, really doesn’t look like a “clone” any more, that gameplay had me spinning. Sorry Chun, but now Ken’s been revealed I’m gonna have to rethink which 3S main I want to play.
Things to take note of -
Lots of jab short links, so he looks as if he’s going to be a quick rushdown pressure character with some good close options to confirm into.
That V-Trigger…was it a dash cancel? I’m unsure, but it looks like some form of dash?
CRAZY KICKS AHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Step-kick looks like it travels full fucking screen.
A DIVEKICK, WHAT?
He looks as if he has the same M - H punch target combo, with a new double kick target combo to boot.
Super small detail, but a lot of his normals give him a fire effect under his feet as he performs them, which looks SO cool.
His seems very combo oriented. He can link stuff after activating, can juggle his light tatsu, etc. Doesn’t seem to help neutral at all like the other characters.
Apart from improving mobility, what else could they really do that gives an edge? There aren’t a ton of options outside of that which would make V-Skills/Triggers unique, they’d just turn out shittier than the rest.
I think, physically, he looks hideous. His eyebrows reached to the tickness of a moustache, the hair just doesn’t suit him. His face really seems ugly to me.
I’m digging it myself…this is probably my favourite Ken design yet, mainly because they decided to change his design and make him really stand out as his own character which I’ve been waiting for them to do for a while. I should probably note that I DO think the detail in his design looked bad in that trailer, I just really like the overall character design. Details aren’t quite there though.
he looks REALLY bad, I think they literally read that post from Cestus and just chucked him together. I get the whole being different from shotos thing… He almost looks middle eastern facial feature wise
Great update of a classic design in ALL regards. He remains iconic as Ken but differentiated from Ryu, leaving Ryu as the traditionalist and Ken as the innovator in both clothing and combat.
Wowwwww you Social Justice Warrior cretins need to stop thinking a character has to be good looking to be appealing. I’m sure 99% of you go to the bathroom with the lights off.
