Whoa, Ken deviates his fighting style even further from Ryu than ever before.
This is Ken's biggest overhaul since ......ssf2t?
Brazil stage looks a bit meh.

Ken still looks similar to before, the look of his moves has changed, but the only 'new' thing was his dive kick thingy and those v-skill combos, but those are new to everyone. Its nice that they're developing his fighting style to move away from Ryu over the course of the games, variety ftw.
Someone get Nick, he's going to fap fo rill.
"Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1."
I think they might have made a cool design decision with him; his new special move looks like Sean's dash into throw. Since you can cancel in to that, I think it's replacing his kara throw, which although I love to use in IV, is essentially a bug from 3 they kept in. Now I never minded that that was the case that much, but it makes a lot more sense to turn it into a proper part of his game that is obvious to anyone picking him up, instead of a bug you have to know about and exploit.
Flaming dice kick - fuck yeah. Classic red gi half off? Not so much. Loving his older face though.
Reading up says the dash throw isn't a special - Ken can literally run, so good! His V skill is a pure rushdown tool, letting you cancel normals into run, then run into throw and who knows what else. This guy's looking quality.
To clarify, playstyle looks great. Really cool to hear about the running stuff, Nick. Should make him interesting to play. Might return to him myself - Ken was always my go to in SF2, SF3, CVS, SVC, and early SF4. His super looks fantastic.
Not sure about his face though.
I'm starting to get hyped for this now. Can't believe I'll have to buy a new console and stick though...
Yeah his face will get changed I reckon. The nose just isn't right, and the hair is melted cheese/play doh. Only other gripe is his ultra above, doesn't have the beautiful rage of his U1 in ultra.
But overall, as a character he looks fucking amazing. Hype.
those dread rings are huge! if his face looks like that i expect some god of war looking mofo. his features also remind me of akuma as well. brow so furrowed it folds into his nose.
it's probably the easiest/safest bet atm, the hori sticks are much cheaper than the madcatz stuff and parts are easily swapped/replaced.
