1. Introduction
*******************

*Old intro*
I decided to write a FAQ on Ken Masters for CvS2 because I'm good
with him and he's my long standing favorite. You will find this FAQ
useful for Ken in every aspect. This guide should prove helpful
whether your a beginner looking for some useful tips, or a master
seeking to polish your style. I've included every nook and cranny
possible for Ken. I encourage any help you feel you can provide. I
obviously don't have all his combos in my head, so send them in.
Anyway Ken afficionados, enjoy the FAQ!

*Newer Intro*
I went and bought everything I needed to play this game online about
1-2 months ago. It all cost about $270 (refurbrished Xbox by the way).
I just got in the 500s using my trusty Ken, and Nakoruru. I would high-
ly reccomend buying this, even if you're not that good at it. I already
improved my game by so much it's unbelievable. So now, this FAQ is
officially being written, and influenced by true competitors. If you
want more up to date ramblings and tactics for not just Ken, check
out the Xbox forum for this game. You can gain some good knowledge
there.

I made some interesting changes just this night, I will continue
to make more in the future. Hope you find anything new, to be helpful,
and changes, to be more usefull.

You will now see special sections with *Note: . . .* for the
Xbox Live and CvS2 EO changes and information. This stuff is mostly
just relevant to CvS2 on LIVE. There are also more goodies thanks to
LIVE. I had the opportunity to fight DreamTheatre (the highest ranked
American/English-speaking player on LIVE). Guess what? He used Ken
at one point. So I learned quite a bit for such a short time. I will
continue to test my skills and have the best fights (not to mention
defeats) with this extremely good player. He is the best CvS2 player,
I have ever fought. And I have fought quite a few other, Top 100s.

3. Brief Biography
***********************

Name: Ken Masters
First appearance: Fighting Streets(Japan)/Street Fighter(USA)
Place of Birth: USA!
Date of Birth: 2-14-1965
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 169 lbs
3-size: Bust= 44"
Waist= 32"
Hips= 33"
Blood Type: B
Fighting Style: Shotokan Karate
*Hit Points(Ratio 2): 14400
Fighting Style: Shotokan Karate
Sensei: Gouken (Deceased)
Favorite fighting partner: Ryu
Rival: Ryu
Nemesis: Akuma/Gouki (For killing his Sensei with the ShunGokuSatsu
technique)

*See section: 7. Vitality Gauge Stats, for
more data on Hit Points.

Other Pertinent Data:

Ken and Ryu trained together in Shotokan for an extended period of
time under the guidance of Gouken. Ken has developed his style through
official tournaments. He is the Grand Champion of the Pan American
tournament. He's also very competitive with Ryu (although he doesn't
usually show it). Ken is very versatile, but has concentrated on
mastering the Shouryuu Ken (Dragon Punch) attack.
Ken married Eliza (a hot blonde women) shortly after defeating Mike
Bison (Known as Vega, in Japan). He loves her a lot. (Would'nt it be
cool if, as kind of a joke, you could pick Eliza and play as her!? I
mean, you see her in virtually every Street Fighter Game, so why not
finally play as her! Okay, I know, she doesn't fight. But still...)

Ken has a Son named Mel. Not much is known of Mel, though he's
predicted to become a strong fighter like his Dad. (Perhaps we can
look forward to Mel in future games, keep your fingers crossed!)

Ken's prestige is Sean, a Brazilian guy trained by Ken.

Ken's Standard Gi: (The differant colors you can select for him)

LP(Square) = Standard Red Gi with Black belt.
MP(Triangle)= Bright Blue Gi
LK(X) = White Gi
MK(Circle) = Yellow Gi
FP(R2) = Purple Gi
FK(R1) = Green Gi

Bonus Color # 1 = LP+MP+HP (Default buttons)

Bonus Color # 2 = LK+MK+HK (Default buttons)

Note:
Those are for the arcade version. For PS2 and DreamCast, press
the buttons that are the corresponding default. I.E. LP= Square etc.
Your button setup will not change the fact that Square on PS2 always
picks the standard color.

3a. Ken's Son

Info on Mel: (Quoted from MegaMan X [email protected])

"Actually, I think that the first mention of Ken's son Mel
was either in X-Men vs. Street Fighter or the original Street Fighter
3, whichever came out first. In XvSF, Ken's ending has him and Mel
playing what looks to be a Sega Saturn (with the 4meg RAM cart in it,
I guess). Ken asks how Mel beat him at the game, and he says by
watching him. Then Eliza tells the two it's time for dinner. I don't
recall his SF3 ending, but in SF3 Second Impact - Giant Attack, Ken
and Mel are training, and Mel socks his dad one right in the balls.
It's pretty assumable that Mel's considerably older than he was in
XvSF, since Ken had his ponytail from Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) in
XvSF. So, who knows...maybe the fans will get to see Ken's lil' boy in
a future game. Why not, we got a second helping of Geese's son Rock in
CvS2 (the first being in Mark of the Wolves), and it seems Rock was
trained by Terry instead of Geese... "[email protected]

The above info on Mel was sent to me by e-mail. Thanks X! It
appears we have much to expect from Mel in the future (speculation).
I have however, confirmed Mel's appearance in Ken's ending in XvSF
of course.

Afterall, anyone with the guts to hit Ken Masters in the balls is
destined for greatness. Who will train him? Will he have his Dad train
him? Or will he seek Ryu for knowledge? Someone else maybe? Whatever
the case, his repeated appearances (3 up to CvS2) in Endings are
certainly ominous of his coming.

This section includes the most basic combos. They're the ones I
most commonly use. They aren't to difficult but they get the job done.
For more advanced and higher scoring combos, refer to the next section
(5a. Advanced Combos). Combos with an "*" by them are the most useful.
In this section and this one only, I'll explain the exact button
sequence (SEQ) in addition to the explanation. Anything in parenthesis
() is optional. I won't include optional things in the sequence (SEQ).
Most jump-in K(ick)s can be substituted with an Air Senpuu Kyaku.

Combo 9a, submitted by J.A.L. [email protected] (3-26-2002)
Combos 17, 18, and 19 contributed by "The WiLL" at Gamefaqs(2-18-2002)
Combo 20, submitted by Michael Chang [email protected] (6-13-2002)
Combo 21, updated with help from "the guest" and "Prince Radinov" of
Gamefaqs.com
=======================================================================

Once again, practice in training to learn more combos. Your
best bet is to utilize the ability to cancel Level2-Supers with any
special move. You should be able to come up with some interesting
combos.
Another pointer, I wouldn't excpect to know all these combos by
heart. Just keep a couple regular ones and a couple Supers in mind
that you feel most comfortable with. Try them all, and see which ones
are easier for you.

4c. Cross-ups

To get a good understanding of cross-ups, I would once again refer here:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/file/capcom_vs_snk_2_system_combo.txt

Search on "cross-ups" there (about 3 times down) and you'll see what I mean.

Basically, you can apply the cross-up to any of the above mentioned combos
(making my job easier), so here is what he can cross-up: J.MK

************
6. Strategy
************

Abbreviations: c. = Crouching I.E. d+lk would be a c.lk
Also, I might use "TSK" for "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" sometimes.

Ok, part 1 of the strategy section for Ken must be completely re-
done. The one I put in earlier was pulled out of my ass. It was an
insult to my knowledge of Ken, and a compliment to my laziness.

So I bring to you, the all new, first paragraph or so for using Ken
effectively. By your very own, Kendrick C. *Now complete, and
with bonus battle-damage!*

OK, for starters, his Ryusenkyaku rocks. If your into diving into a
match with a move (instead of hanging back, and seeing what they do)
DO THIS ONE! It'll counter a jump, and a crouch block, as well as a
Hadouken. It even counters Kyo's similar move. It has good recovery,
and you can break through a defense by going low, and switching to
this move. I like to do the MK version of it during battle. Why?
Well, if you doing c.lks or c.mks this is the move to do if they
just sit in block them all. Sure, they can counter it pretty easy
with a shouryuken. But not very consistantly. However, those other
guys who have seen this move coming from a mile away, there is more
to do. Which I will explain.

Don't give up on Ryusenkyaku just yet. Just don't be so predictable
with it. Start using it tactifully. If they block it, you could try
rolling right afterwards to get in an easy throw. Or you should try
a LP.Shouryuken, to counter that H.trip you saw coming.

Stopping a rushdown:

OK, you just got knocked down, you tried that fall recover, and
just couldn't pull it off. No? You mean you didn't even try to re-
cover, that's ok, me neither. But you're down there on the ground
and you're just dreading what this guy is gonna do. He's running
at you, last time you tried to jab when you got up, he somehow
beat you to it, and low jabbed and kicked you to death, then
added a super at the end!

The solution is actually quite simple, LP.Shouryuken as you rise.
If they fake you and roll, it's ok, because you did the LP version
and your recovery is enought to get back on your feet in time
before he comes out of his roll. Or you may actually hit him out
of the last part of his roll! Which in my opinion is better than
countering a real rushdown. Also, you can throw somene more easily
if they don't time the rushdown right.

Also, for someone who rolls in a rushdown, chances are, they like
to roll quite a bit. Polish up your anti-rolling skills. The # 1
method of doing this, is to actually throw them before they come
out of the roll. Other ways include c.lp's, and again, a shouryuken
will nail them in that split second on vulnerability they have
coming out of a roll.

Ok, if the guy has a level 3 ready, be more cautious. In this case
you might just want to block the rushdown. It would be safest, and
hopefully, you want to get them to whiff the level 3 somehow.

Also be on the look out for people who stop suddenly, and get into
position to throw you. If you see a throw coming, the best thing to
do is throw them, or try to. You'll either beat them to it, or
"Tech" it, and you'll both go into a collision animation showing
you tried to throw eachother.

Hope this helps. Don't accidently do his Shouryureppa instead.
Not as much priority on that one.

Applying some pressure:

The fun stuff. Everyone has their own way of doing it. Me, I mix
it up between a few light punchs, into some hadoukens in close,
as well, as my trusty crouch attacks into Ryusenkyakus. Probably
the safest move to do directly after his easy to reverse Tatsu-
makisenpuukyaku, is lp.Shouryuken. Just don't give your opponent
a break. Don't let him get any time to think. His level 1 supers
have excellent recovery too. It's not a bad idea to Shinryuken
even if they block. The level 1 ShinRyuKen applies good guard damage,
and after the guard, you can quickly roll, and avoid most any
reversal, except the smarter one, which would be a throw. In which
case, you may want to just jab right after this move. Or possibly
lp.SHouryuken. Once they block it, you're relatively safe, but it
takes some guess work too. Or of course, do the motion to throw them
in which case you'll tech it, and cease to be thrown.

His Air TSK has very good air priority. If you encounter someone
in the air, do this, the collision will most likely have given you
the upper hand.

You think Haohmaru has a pressure game? Think again. Haohmaru's
pressure is basically lots of crouching lks and then a quick
qcb+p anti-crouch attack. You can simply counter this with just about
any thing. And you can even roll. Heck, you can tap roll while he is
c.lk-ing you (block, then let go neutral on the block, and tap roll)
and as soon as he lets up, you roll through his anti-crouch move.
Just thought I'd add this little piece of info. All Hoahmaru's other
tactics that I've witnessed and used, are easier to handle then the
above. So I won't go into them. I personally use Haohmaru a bit my-
self. I will do his lil' lk.x3 to qcb+lp once or twice, but there's
more to him than that obviously.

Rushdown Pressure (run):

The most common time to do this, is when you're opponent is rising.
It's most certainly not limited to this specific time though. A good
rushdown for starters would go something like this: c.lk x2-3,
LK.TSK, from here, you can do a lk.Ryusenkyaku (best if everything
was blocked up to this point) or a lp, to lp.Shouryuken. A properly
distanced F+HK will snuff out many attacks. It has great priority.
If you ever play me, you'd notice me using this Normal a lot.

Another rusdown (having super ready, preferably level 3) is a simple
c.lp,c.lk,c.lp into shouryureppa. The first 3 attacks are base to
quickly decide whether or not you should try the super. If the
initial attack connects, you should proceed to do the motion for the
super.

Advanced Ken Strategy by Dream Theater:

With Ken, poking patterns like Forward (joystick) and Roundhouse
Kick are good for getting close, and attempting to Guard Break. I
always press neutral RH Kick if I think someone is going to jump
away. A lot of my cross ups involve Starting with Forward Kick,
then one of many scenarios happen.

low short, jab, short super
low short, stand jab miss, throw
low short, stand jab miss RH kick throw to corner
stand fierce, shoryuken
stand fierce, hadoken
stand fierce, overhead kick
low short x 3, fb with Short kick

jab, short, jab hurricane kick with short always causes lockdown,
and will get you closer to your opponent to do a proper combo
(low forward into super) or jab short jab super.

in the arcade, I can roll cancel that fball with short kick. It
is still good to use it as a poking pattern during gameplay
randomly because it knocks down if it hits, and is very unexpected.

-Quoted from DreamTR at the Xbox CvS2 EO Message Board at
Gamefaqs.com

He uses the old-school terms for moves, so for those of you that
aren't familiar with them, refer to this legend:

LP = Jab, MP = Strong, HP = Fierce
LK = Short, MK = Forward, HK = Roundhouse (dubbed RH)

On Reversals:

Also called punishment. This is when you block a move, and in some
cases, you can punish them for not connecting the move. Basically,
a true reversal is 100% unavoidable. SO all the moves listed would
be blocked, and you will proceed to punish them.

Blanka's Ball attack (B,F+P). A simple F+HK with Ken will do the
trick on this one! Not everyone can reverse this move as easily,
if at all, so it's very nice.

H/M.Shouryuken. No, don't just shouryuken them right after you block
this in close. Jump and air throw them! (F/B+HK)

Bison's Psycho Crusher (both special and Super). Another F+HK.
In the corner, you can get more creative.

That's it for right now. Those are just some main ones that give
people hell. If I get some complaints regarding how to punish differ-
ant moves (which I encourage), then I will gladly post what can be
done, or not done about it.

Some moves can't be reversed, like Cammy's Spiral arrow for example.
Her recovery time is so good on that move, it's practically non-exist-
tant. If you think you reversed that move, chances are it was because
Cammy goofed up, and just held forward or something along those lines.

Connecting the Big Combos:

Let's take Ken's level 2 cancel, that goes like this: Corner only,
Level 2 Shouryureppa, H.Air-TSK, Level 1 Shinryuken. There are
three good ways of doing this. The first way is to back your
opponent in the corner, and hope you get an opening then use the
invincibility frames to your advantage. The second way includes
getting in some c.lks then doing it from there (kind of hard). The
3rd and most effective way I've found is this:

You back yourself into the corner, when your opponent is close
enough, roll (best if you roll through an attack, so as to not be
thrown), and during the last part of the roll, begin the motion to
do a level 2 shouryureppa, you'll catch them from behind, or some-
thing like that. This is the best I've found to do this combo, and
I've saved replays (among many other replays that have to do with
this FAQ in some way) of me doing this on Live. I hope to someday
be able to put this Videos on the Net. It would provide demon-
strations for strategy.

Or like mentioned above, do c.lp, c.lk, c.lp into Shouryureppa.
It'll give you time to decide if you'll be able to connect the
super or not.

Ken's A-Groove combos. Generally speaking, if you caught them at a
'Bad time' and they're blocking. Try putting a F+MK in there, if
it breaks through a crouch-block, feel free to do something like
F+HK a few times, and do your stuff.

6a. Recommended Grooves:

First off, for groove information, I would highly reccomend you
read Jchen's Guide to the grooves found at:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/file/capcom_vs_snk_2_system_combo.txt

I think that's the Number 1 referance for grooves, and is only out of
date for CvS2 EO mainly on P-Groove special move canceling. Which
only exists on the CvS2 EO on Xbox and GameCube.

For starters, I reccomend sticking with the standard grooves. The
reason for that is, you'll stand a better chance in the arcade if you
get accustomed to the standard gameplay. In addition to that, you
won't be giving yourself false hope with all the extra stuff you can do.
Also, I don't know about you, but I feel better about victories if I
did them without custom grooves. It's almost as if using custom grooves
is like cheating. But it isn't cheating, it's just not the
tandard way that's all. Anyway, here are the two grooves I use, and
reccomend for Ken Users:

C-Groove
It suits anyone who plans on using Ken's combo-capabilities to their
fullest. C-Gauge grows it's power the fastest, allowing you to have
more back-up when you need it. Air-blocking is quite the life-saver
at times as well.
-You also get the (mostly invincible) Roll, which helps you conquer
characters like Sagat like never before! It's almost TOO good.
I just remember how much trouble I used to have against Sagat in
Street Fighter Alpha 2. Sagat is still a formidable opponent, and has
great priority. But he is forced to not depend on Tiger Shots quite
as much, since every groove has a defense against projectiles.

-It also has Counter Attack, which isn't good for damage, but more a
way of telling your opponent's string of attacks "Shut the F*** up!"

For anyone planning on mastering Ken, this groove is the place to
start.

N-Groove
A great Groove. What it lacks? Air-Blocking (so what, right?), Level 2
canceling (now that's a shot to the heart), oh and of course, no level
2s.
What it keeps? (from c-groove), Roll, Back dash, super jump.

What it gains? Running (very useful, it can be canceled into anything
too!), fast level 3 gainer, a power-up mode in which you gain more
attack power, and small jump.
Good groove to learn. It's now (after LIVE) a favourite groove of mine.
The Counter attack is good for A-groovers, who want to deal you some
guard damage.

When you power-up, you deal %20 percent more damage! This is
extremely usefull. I love it because you can deal more overall damage
and it's especially usefull when you don't think you'll land that
super. And of course, if you have another red dot handy while in
power-up, you can nail them with a level 3 super when you see a good
opening.

Here are some brief descriptions of the other grooves:

A-Groove
I am yet to master this groove. It's VERY damaging when used rigt.
You can start by doing tons of F+HKs with Ken when you activ-
ate the custom combo, and doing one of his level 1 supers when
down to the last bit. I've seen many people do this with Ken. You
have roll, and dash as well.

P-Groove
Lots of discussion I can recall on this groove. The most notable part
of it is the Parry. Parry can be done in the air, on the ground, and for
lower attacks. It's a tough groove to master, but when you do,
your defense is very good. However, there's only level threes here. And
the Level 3s take some time to charge up. *note, EO version has special
move cancels. I am yet to fool around with this much, but it's some-
thing deffinitely worth looking into, making this groove just that
much better.* Probably the best groove in the hands of a true master.
With tactical recovery + parry, you'll stand the best chance of not
dying from Guard damage when you get up. I.E. you have minimal HP, so
someone knocks you down, and activates a super like Joe's Double
Cyclone as you get up, hoping to kill you from your blocking. With P-
Groove, you would delay your wake-up time by holding 2 punch buttons,
then when you get up, immediatly tap forward (get this timing down),
now a "Parry-pause" takes place, and you can try your best to parry
the remainder of ther super. This "pause" is what makes it easier to
parry a series of attacks. So get the parry-timing down with this
"Parry-pause" and you'll be off to a good start.

S-Groove
Another interesting groove. You charge up your gauge manually, and when
your health is way down in the red, you have infinite level 1s at your
disposal. You manually charge up your super-gauge in this groove. Also,
you get a boost in offense and defense when you're charged up. I like
messing around with this groove, but I've never been able to figure out
how I can use it very effectively. Nonetheless, this groove is most
certainly not to be overlooked.

K-Groove
A more advanced groove. A true master can fill his gauge using
primarily Just Defense (works kind of like Parry). It also recovers
health when you do that. However, doing so is very hard.
It's good for beginners because it charges up as you get hit. So in a
way, it comes to you in time of need.
However, without roll, and other such functions, you better get
good at Just Defense. I personally love using this groove. I think
it's very effective when used properly.

I reccomend Custom grooves for strictly 2-player fun. You can set up
a classic style game in which there are NO gauges, no dash etc.

I have used a few custom grooves, just for fun really. Here they are:

Custom Grooves:
1. C-Gauge, Air-Blocking, Dodge, Run, Safe Fall, all Sub-Systems (Esp.
Move Cancels!).
2. N-Gauge, Air-Blocking, Dodge, Run, Safe Fall, all Sub-Systems.
If you expect to really get hit alot use this Custom Groove:
3. K-Gauge, Air-Blocking, Dodge, Run, Safe Fall, all Sub-Systems.

4. Ultimate Cheese: K, Air-Block, Run, Cancel any Move, Chain combo,
Roll!! This works out to an even 4000, and is infamous on Live.

Change dodge to Roll if you plan on fighting God Rugal or if you like
roll better of course.

The reason I recomend Dodge, is because I've done good combos with it.
When you dodge, quickly follow up by pressing QCF+MP, he'll
automatically punch and buffer it into a hadouken, which you can
follow up with a L2.Shouryureppa, to a H.Senpuu TSK, then a
L1.Shinryuken in the corner. It takes away considerable damage. Also,
although you're more vulnerable with his special roll, he DOES already
have a roll, and you'd be suprised how good the dodge function suits
him.

One cool thing about enabling chain combos, is you can always
double trip, by using M.Trip then H.Trip! Also, Ken's Axe Kick becomes
a good combo opener. (Who would've thought that?)

Side note: Sometimes I wish I didn't tell you guys about the Custom-
cheapness you can do, because I bet a lot of the people doing the
very things I explain in here, got it from the FAQ. I.E. Axe Kick
being a big combo opener!! Oh well.

Don't have enough points for those? Get Infinite Custom Groove by
beating Survival Mode.
Can't beat survival mode? Beat boss Challenge mode by having a new
challenger come in every time you're about to die to get the "Extra
Option". Now with all the extra options you can beat Survival Mode!

*Note: These custom grooves are cheap for playing on LIVE with in my
opinion. I would reccomend playing Arcade mode to avoid EO mode,
and these. E.G. just messing around I came up with a 5-hit combo
with Haohmaru that applies close to 1300 damage! The little combo
is enough to nearly kill an equal ratio'd Zangief w/K-Gauge.*

On another note, I do bring out the Custom-Cheese if my opponent
picks it first. I know how to bring it too. So don't think you'll get
an easy win if you pick EX. Chances are, I might pick my EX that has
nothing on it. Just so I can make you look bad.

6b. Beating the 2 Bosses

God Rugal: Roll to dodge his special moves and throw him, or
combo. God rugal is a ruthless cheesestick. Don't try to keep your
distance as that is exactly what he wants you to do. Instead, do the
above and realize that rolling and throwing him is what you should
count on doing. Minimize Hadoukens. Immediately jump out of the way
when he starts that evil grab'n'sock move.

Shin Akuma: He loves his Gouhadoukens. So TSK over the ground
ones. When fighting him, take advantage of all his fireballs. Watch
out, you'll find he's very good at combos and can over power almost
all your moves with his Shouryuken. Jab him or jump over his
Shungokusatsu (Raging Demon). As opposed to Street Fighter Alpha 2, I
personally think that Akuma's Shungokusatsu is much easier to avoid
in CvS2. Another thing, when Akuma has one or more level 3s in stock,
my advice to you is: Don't roll.

6c. Defeating Your Nemesis

I will start off by listing MY personal Nemesis:

Nakoruru

Q: Why is/was she your Nemesis?

A: She forces me to block WAY to much, my matches with her came WAY
to close, and beating her requires a completely differant strategy
than ANYONE else. She's always the hardest one for me to beat in
Survival Mode!

Q: How did you beat her?

A: Well, I decided to play on the defensive for a change. I actually
sat back and crouch blocked (remembering to upper block for jump
attacks) until she did her anti-projectile slide attack. In other
words, I depended a lot on reversals, in which you block, then
immediately attack after the block. My main reversal was a Hard
Shouryuken. I didn't roll that much since she usually grabbed me
out of the role. I had to act fast too, as her attacks generally
come without notice. Since the shouryuken over-powers her slide-
attack, that's a good move to do and it's safest to use
L.Shouryuken.

Update on Anti-Nakoruru Startegy:

She has horrible Anti-Air. Her Pheonix Fire is the best anti-Air she
has, and she can't even do that if the bird is moving about. So
a j.LP will snuff out lots of her things. So as a side note, lots of
jump-ins and air attacks will help against her.

*Note: Nakoruru is now one of my best Characters to use on Live.
She's seen me through many tough fights, alongside Ken of course.
But that's BEST, not favourite. She's comes in at a very close
2nd to Ken as far as favourites go. I won't go into how to use Nakoruru
here, but I will say that she is not to be used like a
normal poker or comboer, she is what I like to call a Tactical Mistress.
Trust me COMBO Nak might do well against another Nak,
but not anyone else. I tend to combine the mini-combos of hers
with my mind-games.*

******************
7. Using the D-pad
******************
Getting Blisters? Read on...

I'm not attempting to recommend the D-pad over the Joystick, or
say that one is better then the other. I'm just a hand to
those of us who always do better with our little controllers at home,
then those intimidating joy-sticks at the local Arcade. If your good
with the joystick, stick with it. Don't even read this section as it
may corrupt your arcade abilities! As for the others, read on.

Personal method:
I always put the bottom part of my shirt on my thumb, when using
the D-pad. This way, I can avoid blistering up my thumb, and I do
moves faster. It may sound strange, but I can move my thumb around
real easy if I do this. It's like making an extra layer of slick skin.
Anyway, I thougt I might suggest it for those of you who have problems
using the D-pad. This also allows for extended game play. You get less
sore and your hands remain comfortable.

The D-pad in my opinion, should be a temporary thing. If you really
enjoy fighting games, like I do, then you should migrate your skills to...

7a. Using the Joystick

Previously, I preferred the D-Pad. However, now I use the joystick
and I hate playing fighting games without it. This due in part to the fact
that I made my own joystick at home. You can view that at:
www.geocities.com/Ken_chill2002 --- Explaining how to build one
would take up a new faw entirely, so I recommend you email me if you
need some advice.

Some advantages to look forward to include: Easy Double Half-
circle movements, which are close to impossible for some people on
the d-pad. Fast button tapping, and the ability to press 3-punch and
3-kick buttons all at once easily. (without resorting to the shortcuts).
Also, you should be able to do Zangief's Special-throws without
buffering into them with enough practice.

For Ken users, the Joystick is very good. All his Special and
Super moves use circular-type motions. Sometimes it's better (and
easier for some) to do a double Quarter Circle Forwards for his
Shouryuken. However, you'll pull off a Shouryureppa instead if you
have Level 1s in stock, thats about the only disadvantage to the
invention of Super Moves.

For those of you who get tired when using the joystick and get
sore muscles, just ease up a bit. You don't have to push to hard, nice
and easy going with the joystick allows for extended gameplay,
precise commands, and longlevity for the controller. There is no need
in putting your full strength into your moves. That's always a sign of
the joystick-newbie.

***********************
8. Vitality Gauge Stats
***********************

Yes, differant Characters have differant amounts of Hit Points.
You'll find that the big'n'slow guys have the most and that Shin
Akuma/Gouki has the least. Below are the Vitality Gauge Hit Points for
everyone in Ratio 2 form. The differant Ratio only affects the Hit
Points that character has, and slighlty affects the characters attack
power. Contrary to some guides, the character's Ratio does in fact
increase Attack Power! (Ratio 4 having the highest Attack Power.) The
list goes from Greatest to least.

Ratio 2 Hit points:

15,600: Chang, Raiden, Zangief
15,200: Geese, Rugal
14,800: Blanka, Dan, E.Honda, M.Bison, Sagat, Todo, Yamazaki
*14,400: Eagle, Guile, Joe, *KEN MASTERS, Kim, Kyo, Rock, Ryo, Ryu,
Terry, Vega
14,000: Chun Li, Dhalsim, Haohmaru, Hibiki, Iori, Maki, Rolento
Athena, Benimaru, Balrog,
13,600: Cammy, King, Kyosuke, Mai, Nakoruru, Sakura, Vice, Yuri
13,200: Yun, Morrigan
12,800: Akuma
10,600: Evil Ryu, R.B. Iori
9,200: Ult. Rugal
6,500: Shin Akuma

It can be helpful to be aware of these as it comes in handy for
various reasons. The main reason I posted it, is so you know how Ken
compares to others when just considering hit points.
By the way I give my thanks to JChen for his Systems/Combo Guide.
Without it I wouldn't have been able to show these Hit Points.

8a. Attack Stats

This part shows the different Hit Points each attack takes
away(Ratio 2). Provided, you hit the opponent with every possible part of

10. Color Edits For Ken
**********************

Here are some color Edits I've made for Ken. They are all
original work. If you have some good Color Edits for KEN, send them in
with a brief description. I'll look over them myself to see if they
qualify. If they are good enough, you will find them here in the FAQ
with full credit given to your name (or least your e-mail address).
Yes, I am aware of tons of color edits for Ken. I only post good ones.
And I don't mooch off of other site's Edits.

*Note* With Live, you can now show off your color edits (if your're
willing to face EO-ism and Ex-grooves possibly). I assure you, with
these Color Edits, you'll have the hottest looking Ken on the block.
These are all smooth, and are grade-A material (esp. next to those
ugly I'm-gonna-let-my-two-year-old-do-this color edits you see
everywhere).

With Live, I make new ones on a regular basis. So, too many now =)
If you ever 'see' one you like, then let me know, I can e-mail it
to you.

11. End note
************

I hope you found this FAQ useful in some way. I tried to narrow
down the length as much as possible, by listing the Color Edits
horizontally, and arranging the C O N T E N T S in to two columns.
Also, I hope you found it helpful that you're able to copy words from
the contents and paste them into Find (Ctrl+F) to get to the corres-
ponding section.
I've spent a lot of time developing the FAQ. Originally, I decided to
make it because there were no KEN Faqs for CvS2.
I would go ahead and make a Final version of the FAQ, but I still want
to leave the door open for more combos, and at least a few color
edits. The only reason there are no color edits made by anyone else
on this FAQ is because no one has sent any in. So if you have one,
take the time to tell me what it is, I'll check it over, then post it.

By the way, I've considered writing a Terry FAQ. But there are already
two of them, so it would be unlikely that it would be posted. So I
guess I'll submit my information and combos to the Authors of those
FAQs.

My thanks go to:

CJayC for posting my FAQ and making this sort of thing possible.
Capcom for putting out these wonderful fighting games.
SNK for their great games and characters in Capcom vs SNK 2.
All contributers and people I thanked in the section you helped me on.
My thanks go to J.A.L., The Will, and Michael Chang for their combos
they sent.
Everyone and anyone who ever E-mailed me regarding this FAQ. Thanks
for your time.
All my fans who email me everyday, telling me how cool I am (C'mon,
it's just a FAQ!). ;-)
All the other great FAQ writers who spend countless hours writing
FAQs.
And YOU for reading this FAQ (or glancing at this section of the it).

To all the people who drop on me every time I come on CvS2 Live!!
Thanks for the laughs, and the aggrevation I've had to overcome.
Just know that I mark each and every one of you, so you'll most
likely never have the pleasure of playing me again. I would con-
sider naming all of them, but I don't really care. And it would
make the FAQ twice as long.

The BuZZ: I NEED A-groove combos submitted! Very important!
You all have 'em! That's why they're custom! I am currently mastering
N-groove, and A-groove is a bit too much for me at the moment. So
I encourage anyone, XBL or not to help me with this. I'm no a-groover.
This is a deadly groove though!

When sending e-mails concerning this FAQ include one of the following
words in the Subject:

Nemesis (Who is your Nemesis and why, how did you beat Him/her?)
Combos (Be as descriptive as possible with these)
Color Edits (Include description)
Errors (Explain location of ERROR as well as what it is)
Recommendations (Obviously, tell me WHAT you recommend)
FAQ Post (To contact me about posting the FAQ at your site)

interested)
The BuZZ (Read above.)
-My E-mail address is [email protected]
Those are pretty much all the subjects I'll answer to. I may make
exceptions though.

One other thing to remember, I will never INFECT the move lists
with in-depth descriptions of each move. I think that's the one worst
thing you could do for a FAQ. Sadly, It's becoming standard to do that
now, especially for Character FAQs. However, I feel it's a waste of
space, I like to cut out things like that when I print a FAQ. So
rather than telling you about Ken's eyebrow position in frame # 2 of
Ken's Zenpou-Tenshin, I'm going to let you look at the move yourself,
and let YOU decide whether or not his eyebrow goes up or down from
frame # 1 to # 2.

You may have noticed I changed my email. This is because the older one
was just so infected with spam, it was unbearable. So I made one just
for this FAQ, so while see how it goes. I do have a real e-mail for my
internet service providor. But I will not disclose it for the very reason
I made a new email for this FAQ.
