Intelligence: Genius in combat, Above Average otherwise (Ken is an extremely skilled martial artist, having trained for many years together with Ryu under Gouken. Ken developed his own variation of the Ansatsuken style, combining kicks, rapid movements and a particular attention and focus on the Shoryuken. With his prowess he became the undisputed american martial arts champion, gaining worldwide fame and attention from numerous people, such as Rufus, who wants to claim the title from him, and Sean, Ken's future pupil. During his career he traded fists with a pletora of professional fighters, with some notable ones being Chun-Li, Cammy, Guile, Laura, Karin, Zangief, F.A.N.G, Sakura and, most importantly, Ryu, his eternal rival. Ken also efficiently runs the Masters Foundation, one of the wealthiest companies in the world, which he inherited from his family. Despite his occasional cockyness, Ken is overall a level-headed and reasonable person, who takes in great care the safety of his beloved ones. He is also particularly skilled in cooking pasta), Animalistic as Violent Ken (While he retains the skill he acquired up to Street Fighter 2, his mind is clouded by a bloody desire to kill and destroy his opponents)
Standard Tactics: Ken will lead with hand to hand combat and will either try to incinerate with techniques such as Shoryureppa and Guren Senpukyaku or cause them to crumble with his focus attack while using techniques such as Hadoken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku as long ranged options. As Violent Ken, he will attack his opponent wildly and overwhelm them with his teleportation.
