Special

Neutral SpecialHadoken

Ken's neutral move is his signature move, the Hadouken. This sends out an energy ball forwards, damaging whatever it hits. Hold down the button for longer to increase the distance that the Hadouken travels.
As Ken is a fighting character, he also has hidden inputs. If, when using the move, you do the button combination of down, forward down and then forward, the power of the Hadouken is increased 25%.

Side SpecialTatsumaki Senpukyaku

Ken's side special is another of his classic moves from Street Fighter. This move is a whirling kick sideways which knocks opponents far if they make contact. This move can also give Ken some lift off of the ground
If you match the Street Fighter inputs of Down, Back Down and then Back, the power of this move is increased by 16%.

Up SpecialShoryuken

Ken's up special can be seen as his recovery move. This move has Ken jump upwards with a powerful uppercut. This damages anyone it makes contact with.
If you set up this move with the classic Street Fighter combo of Forward, Down, Down Forward, then its power is increased by 20%.

Down SpecialFocus Attack

Ken's down special is a charging move. It allows you to block an opponent's attack and can stun them. The longer you have charged the move for, the longer the opponent is stunned, leaving them open for further attacks

Final Smash

Final Smash SpecialShippu Jinraikyaku

Like Ryu, Ken has two Final Smash options, but these are different to Ryu. The first one activates if Ken is by the opponent. He unleashes a flurry of kicks into the opponent, doing massive damage before kicking them away. However, while doing so, Ken continues moving to the right which could cause Ken to be over air and potentially fall to his demise

Final Smash SpecialShinryuken

Ken's second Final Smash is activated if the opponent is further away from Ken. This causes Ken to create some major fire pillars upwards, dealing damage to the opponents and throwing them up into the air
