I wish you good luck!
~ Ken Masters

For some reason, the Satsui no Hado doesn't live inside of Ken, but using Bison's Psycho Power, Ken has become a soldier of Shadaloo.
~ Shadaloo Combat Research Institute

Background

Ken Masters is

Statistics

Key: Ken Masters | Violent Ken

Tier: 9-B | At least 9-B

Name: Ken Masters | Violent Ken, Brain-washed Ken[1]

Origin: Street Fighter

Sex: Male

Age: 20 to 30 years old

Classification: Martial Artist, Roaring Inferno[2], King of American Fighters[3]

Species: Human

Occupation: Hotel-Business Tycoon, Construction Worker[4] | Soldier of Shadaloo[5]

Status: Alive

Alignment: Chaotic Good (Ken is a man with a great fighting spirit[6], the type to see it as disgraceful for a true warrior to let himself get possessed[7]. Though his main goal was originally to achieve global fame as a martial artist[8], he is a good man who values his family above all else[9], to the point where he retired from fighting in order to look after them[10], and will force himself to go into hiding if it would keep Eliza and Mel safe[11]. Still, despite his pure intentions, Ken can be incredibly overconfident and makes jokes at his opponent's expense all the time[12]. Brash and arrogant, Ken loves standing over his opponents and laughing at them after knocking them out[13]) | Chaotic Evil (Ken, having been possessed by the psycho power of M. Bison[14], has become just as merciless and power-hungry as Evil Ryu[15]. His arrogance has been amplified, shown in his need to become stronger than anyone no matter the cost[16]. As he states himself, he now has the desire to destroy and kill all in his path[17])

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Wall level (Ken is consistently portrayed[18] as the main rival of Ryu[19], who broke multiple stone tiles[20], and broke three cinderblocks with one attack[21]. Can fight against and harm Adon[22], who broke a chunk off a statue's head[23]. Can also fight and harm characters like Birdie[24], who bent a large piece of metal[25]. The Street Fighter cast can break[26] apart cars[27], as well as entire semi-trucks overtime with various hits[28]. Can destroy wooden barrels[29] in a single hit[30], as well as destroy metal barrels[31] and stone walls overtime[32]. Can fight and harm Sagat[33], who broke a large rock in half[34]. Can fight and harm Zangief[35], who overpowered a large bear[36]) | At least Wall level (Violent Ken is infused with psycho power from M. Bison, making him far more powerful than the regular Ken[37])

Durability: Wall level | At least Wall level

Striking Strength: Wall Class | At least Wall Class

Lifting Strength: Class 50 (As his eternal rival[38], Ken should be comparable to Ryu, who lifted a large boulder over his head[39])

Travel Speed: Athletic Human

Combat Speed: Athletic Human

Reaction Speed: Athletic Human

Stamina: Athletic Human () | Peak Human (Violent Ken has an insatiable lust for power[40], who feels the need to become stronger than anyone no matter the cost[41]. He loves the smell of raw blood and fighting, and hates boredom[42], and so will likely push himself to keep fighting until he can't anymore)

Range: Standard Melee, Several Meters with Hadoken, Reppu Hadoshu, and Shakunetsu Hadoken

Intelligence: Average academically, Genius combatively (Ken was trained in Ansatsuken by Gouken[43] from a very young age[44]. He is a natural athlete[45] who mastered the Shoryuken technique into uncharted territories[46]. At just a young age, Ken became the champion of the All-American Martial Arts Tournament[47]. His Shoryureppa technique was created on the fly, without him even thinking he could pull it off[48])


Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts (Ken was trained in Ansatsuken by Gouken[49]. He is a natural athlete[50] who mastered the Shoryuken technique into uncharted territories[51]. He is the reigning champion of the All-American Martial Arts Tournament[52]), Enhanced Senses (Ken has finely-tuned senses, that he can use to spot intruders[53]), Ki Manipulation (Ken's power source is Ki[54], which is a product of training and self-discipline), Energy Projection & Sheer Will (Hadoken summons all of the user's will through their hands into a wave of Ki energy[55]), Fire Manipulation (Ken utilizes fire in his Shoryuken, Shoryureppa, Shinryuken, Guren Senpukyaku[56], etc.), Status Effect Inducement (Hitting the opponent repeatedly, without them being able to recover, causes them to enter the "Stun" status, which leaves them unable to react[57]), Limited-Flight (Tatsumaki allows for the user to briefly glide forwards through the air[58]), Heat Manipulation & Statistics Boost (Heat Rush has Ken channel heat through his entire body to power-up his attacks[59]), Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Despite being brainwashed by M. Bison[60], Ken retains enough control to fight against and even defeat Bison as he pleases, and eventually fends off the brainwashing entirely in order to regain his regular form[61]), Resistance to Electricity Manipulation (Ken casually blocked C. Viper's electricity without feeling any pain[62])

Standard Equipment


Other

Standard Tactics: Ken loves to show off during a fight, often opting to knock opponents out with a Hadoken before standing over them and laughing[66]. When facing an opponent he sees to be weaker than him, which are most people due to his large ego[67], Ken will merely dodge and play around until things get serious[68]. When engaged in a fight, Ken's main objective is to get into his opponent's face and push them into a corner[69]. While Ryu specializes in using his projectiles, Ken instead favors mastery over his Shoryuken, which he mixes with other agile attacks[70].

Weaknesses: Ken's natural fighting skill has fueled his giant ego, and he lets his skills constantly deteriorate due to spending time on the beach with Eliza[71]. Ken's heart is weak and can be consumed by his jealousy towards Ryu.
