I. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------


 Over the past couple of months I've become a complete Marvel vs Capcom
2 maniac. I've searched far and wide for any news what so ever on Marvel vs
Capcom 2. I've seen a million screen shots, about 30 movies, a few wallpapers
(I have an awesome one on my comp now) and have read as many previews and
reviews and other stuff. I've even read all the other character FAQ's on this
site before I even thought of making my own. But I just felt I needed to
contribute to the greatness of M vs C 2. So I did it through GameFAQ's with a
few character FAQs. The first two people I did character FAQ's on were Thanos
and Cable. Now for the next character. Like I mentioned in the Thanos FAQ I
always thought that the genetic freaks were the coolest and one of the only
people that weren't freaks that I thought were cool was Cable. But everyone
has a favorite Shotokan. Whether it's Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Dan, even Sakura, you
must have a favorite Shotokan (I know there not all Shotokans but im basing
it on there type of moves). Now I know a lot of people don't like Ken and a
lot of people describe Ken as "just another Ryu clone" but the way I look at
it, Ken is an underdog. He's been through it all, and he has managed to
follow Ryu every step of the way and develop his own move set. So that's why
(along with the fact that Ken, Cable and Thanos is my team) for my next
character FAQ
I will be doing Ken.

III. Legend
--------------------------------------------------------------


 My legend is a bit different from most other FAQ's but I find it a lot
easier. Some other FAQ's that I read and printed out had the legend take
up an entire page so I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. I don't
use QCF, QCB, etc. for down forward moves. I doubt anyone is actually goona
press down, take a 1 second pause and then press forward and a punch/kick.

  Brief History - Born on Valentine's Day of 1965, Ken Masters entered
                  planet Earth. Luckily for him, he was born into an
                  extremely rich family, and got whatever he wanted. But
                  as he got older, he became spoiled and abused his money.
                  He would cut school and spend all his money, buying
                  whatever he wanted to. So his father decided to send him
                  to Japan to a man named Gouken, who would put Ken in his
                  place. Ken was given strict rules, and was punished if he
                  didn't obey them which he was not used to. But along the
                  way he met his future best friend and rival, Ryu. Ryu and
                  Ken trained together in the art of Shotokan and fought
                  each other to test there skills. Then one day they were
                  invited to a "King of Street Fighter's Tournament" to see
                  who the best fighter in the world was. Both did well, and
                  Ken was convinced that he could win but his bragging and
                  taunting didn't pay off when Ryu beat him and then
                  continued on to beat Sagat for the title (im way too much
                  into wrestling). Ken couldn't understand why he was
                  beaten, but urged him to train even harder for the battles
                  to come. During his training, he met his future wife,
                  Eliza. Ken, still pissed about his loss at the tournament,
                  felt ready to challenge Ryu and did so. In the end, it
                  turned out that Ken (controversially) beat Ryu after he
                  fell down a hill during the fight. To heal the cut on his
                  forehead, Ken took a ribbon from his ponytail and wrapped
                  it around Ryu's forehead, which Ryu still wears to this
                  day. Obviously, Ken was cocky from his victory over Ryu
                  and decided to get married to Eliza. But the next time Ryu
                  and Ken fought it would be along side each other fighting
                  arch enemies such as M. Bison (Vega for the Japanese) and
                  Akuma (Gouki for the Japanese)..... OK so it's not so
                  brief but who cares?


-----------------------------
Character Description
-----------------------------

- I know that 99 percent of all people who visit this site know exactly
 what Ken looks like but im doing a character description anyway. Anyone
 who dies, gets sick or is seriously offended by this can e-mail me with
 a reason why. Being that said on to the character description......

Real Name - Ken Masters
Alias - None
Height - 5 foot 11
Weight - 180 lbs.
Hair - Blond
Eyes - ???
    - Im not really sure about this one. In all the games they make his
      eyes black, but they're obviously not. While im at it there's another
      thing I wanted to point out. Ken's eyebrows are black as well. This
      either means Ken dyed his hair blond, dyed his eyebrows black, or
      that Capcom just wanted it that way. Im guessing it's the third one.
Clothing - Ken wears the typical Shotokan Karate gi (That's not a typo it
          is indeed spelt "gi") with along with Ryu has made a fashion
          trend among the Street Fighter world. Characters wearing the
          gi besides Ryu and Ken are Akuma, Dan and the pathetic Sean.
          Ken's gi is red with a black belt (The highest karate honor.
Body - 1. Play any wrestling game with a create a player mode
      2. Add a red karate outfit with a black belt
      3. Add long blond hair
      4. There you have it

V. Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------


This is pretty much a review of Ken. I will go through the six deciding
factors that make up a character (offense, defense, power, speed, recovery
and comboability) and give them each a score from 1 to 10 (1 being the lowest
and 10 being the highest) followed by an overall score.


Offense - 8.5 - Although Ken isn't the master of disaster, his offense is
               good and in my opinion better than Ryu's because Ken's
               Hurricane Kick and Dragon Punch is better than Ryu's where
               as Ryu only has a better Fireball. Anyway, Ken's fireball
               could use some work but this Hurricane Kick and Dragon Punch
               attacks and hyper combos totally make up for his lack of
               a good projectile. In conclusion, Ken takes home an 8.5.


Defense - 7.5 - Average. Apparently Gouken was a lot more focused on
               offense when he trained the Shotokan's. Not to say that
               Ken's defense is bad but it could use some improvement.
               A lot of his moves leave him wide open (his Triple Dragon
               Punch when blocked is a perfect setup for a vertical super
               (Jin, Hulk, Amingo) and his Super Dragon Punch if missed
               is a good setup for an air beam super. In conclusion his
               defense is good but nothing special.... 7.5.


Power - 7.5 - Just in case there's any confusion over power and offense,
             power is the strength and damage done by the moves and offense
             is the arsenal of moves you have (Ex: Spider-Man and Wolverine
             have good offense but not so great power). Anyway, this is
             another average for Ken. He's pretty strong considering his
             size but he isn't any Juggernaut and really doesn't have any
             good power moves. In conclusion, average. 7.5.


Speed - 8.5 - Ryu maybe just a little stronger than Ken, but Ken definitely
             has speed and the most blatant form of it is through his
             Hurricane Kick attacks and supers. Besides that, he walks
             and dashes slightly faster than Ryu and does the Dragon Punch
             quicker as well. In conclusion, Ken is pretty much the fastest
             Shotokan and is also faster than most people is Marvel vs
             Capcom 2 and takes home an 8.5.


Recovery - 7 - Im being really generous with a 7. For the most part, most
              of his moves have recovery time. When he does a fireball
              he holds his hand out for 2 seconds after the fireball is
              thrown. When he does a Dragon Punch it can be easily set
              up into a vertical super. Ditto for the Triple Dragon
              Punch. In conclusion, Ken barely escapes with a 7.


Comboability - 8 - Pretty combo friendly in my opinion. Pretty much all
                  of his supers are great combo finishers and all of
                  his regular moves are great assists if you're trying
                  link your own supers. He can also pull off some pretty
                  damn good exhibition combos thanks to James Chen and Mike
                  Z. In conclusion, Ken Masters takes home his second
                  highest score, 8.


Overall - 8 - In a final conclusion, Ken is for the most part average.
             His power is average, his defense is average, his combo-
             ability is average, his recovery s average and his offense
             and speed are above average. In my opinion, a totally
             average fighter is a 7 so that's why I gave him an 8 (Ok
             im pushing it a little but it's still a pretty decent score.
             Ken gets an 8 as a final score.

- Even a person who wants to become the ultimate mega Ken player in Marvel
 vs Capcom 2 and does nothing but play with Ken in Marvel vs Capcom 2 24
 hours a day, 7 days a week will not need a detailed description of his
 regular moves but everyone else is doing it so I am too.

--------------------
LP / Jab
--------------------

- Standing - The classic useless button actually has a use in this game
            thanks to the addition of combos being the deciding factor
            of every battle and even more use in Marvel vs Capcom 2 thanks
            to the deduction of the MP / Strong punch. Anyway, it's
            manditory for non-super combos and is as always good for
            mind games (Short Dragon Punches and slow Fireballs) but
            other-wise a wussy punch.

- Jumping - The classic useless button actually has a use in this game
           thanks to the addition of combos being the deciding factor
           of every battle and even more use in Marvel vs Capcom 2 thanks
           to the deduction of the MP / Strong punch. Anyway, it's
           manditory for non-super combos and is as always good for
           mind games (Short Dragon Punches and slow Fireballs) but
           other-wise a wussy punch.

- Ducking - Pretty much the same thing as standing and jumping except
           worse because you can't do ducking specials. Ken's jab
           is stupid, has absolutely no reach, and is stupid.

--------------------
LK / Short
--------------------

- Standing - The classic useless button actually has a use in this game
            thanks to the addition of combos being the deciding factor
            of every battle and even more use in Marvel vs Capcom 2
            thanks to the deduction of the SK / strong kick. Anyway,
            it's manditory for non-super combos and is as always good for
            mind games (Slow Hurricane Kicks) but other-wise a wussy punch.

- Jumping - The classic useless button actually has a use in this game
           thanks to the addition of combos being the deciding factor
           of every battle and even more use in Marvel vs Capcom 2
           thanks to the deduction of the SK / strong kick. Anyway,
           it's manditory for non-super combos and is as always good for
           mind games (Slow Hurricane Kicks) but other-wise a wussy punch.

- Ducking - Pretty much the same thing as standing and jumping except
           worse because you can't do ducking specials. Ken's short
           is stupid, has absolutely no reach, and is stupid.

--------------------
HP / Fierce
--------------------

- Standing - The driving force of all fighting games, the almighty fierce
            button makes it's 178th appearance in Marvel vs Capcom 2. As
            usual, an extremely useful move, responsible for the flaming
            Dragon Punch, the fast fireball, and the Triple Dragon Punch.
            The only thing holding back Ken's fierce is his lack of reach.

- Jumping - The driving force of all fighting games, the almighty fierce
           button makes it's 178th appearance in Marvel vs Capcom 2. As
           usual, an extremely useful move, responsible for the flaming
           Dragon Punch, the fast fireball, and the Triple Dragon Punch.
           The only thing holding back Ken's fierce is his lack of reach.

- Ducking - Always the oddball being less useful than it's standing and
           jumping counterparts can't seem to get it right. Tends to
           bully the jab button for being more useless than he is until
           Gouken breaks them up. I dont know why I just thought of that.

--------------------
HK / Roundhouse
--------------------

- Standing - Also a driving force of all fighting games, the almighty fierce
            button makes it's 178th appearance in Marvel vs Capcom 2. As
            usual, an extremely useful move, responsible for the Hurricane
            Kick, the Super Dragon Punch and the Super Hurricane Kick.
            Even better is that is does not lack in reach and is good
            for stopping dashes.

- Jumping - Also a driving force of all fighting games, the almighty fierce
           button makes it's 178th appearance in Marvel vs Capcom 2. As
           usual, an extremely useful move, responsible for the Hurricane
           Kick, the Super Dragon Punch and the Super Hurricane Kick.
           Even better is that it does not lack in reach and is good for
           stopping jump-ins. I can still remember playing Super Street
           Fighter II and always countering Dee Jay's slow jumping kick
           with a quick jumping roundhouse.

- Ducking - The classic Shotokan sweep breaks away from it's punching
           counterparts by actually, although not as useful as it's
           standing and jumping counterparts, is useful. How? For
           sweeping of course.


-----------------------------
Special Moves
-----------------------------

   Fireball          - Down, Forward, Punch (air)
  (Hadouken)         - The classic fireball makes a triumphant return in
                       Marvel vs Capcom 2. Although it's not as good as
                       Ryu's, it's still a decent projectile. It's does
                       about 7% damage on the average fighter but barely
                       makes it across the screen. It's a pretty good helper
                       assist and like all projectiles can sometimes stop
                       a cornering or jump in. Come to think of it this
                       the first projectile ever made in the history of
                       fighting games and Ken has it. That has to be a
                       plus in some way.

    Hurricane Kick       - Down, Back, Kick (air)
(Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku)  - Arguably the best Hurricane Kick in the game.

                           Definitely the fastest and stronger than Ryu's,
                           only Akuma's Lighting Hurricane Kick is even
                           a challenge to Ken's. The LK version of it can
                           go up to three hits and the HK version can go
                           up to 5 hits. But that's not all, the Hurricane
                           Kick rises as you get more hits. But that's not
                           all, call within the next five minutes and get
                           some genuine LAABG (Lard and Artificial Bacon
                           Grease)......... That wasn't funny at all was
                           it. Didn't think so. Anyway the only downside
                           to this is that it has a pretty decent recovery
                           time and if you do this move accidentally when
                           the opponent is at the other side of the screen,
                           prepare to get beamed. Big time.

   Dragon Punch          - Forward, Down, Forward, Punch (air)
  (Shouryuuken)          - Talk about classic. Pretty much the first move
                           along with the fireball to be invented and put
                           into a fighting game ever. Anyway, Ken without
                           a single doubt contains the best Dragon Punch
                           in the game. Why you ask? Lets see:
                         1. The LP version is quicker than Ryu and Akuma's
                         2. The HP version is the strongest one out of all
                            the Shotokan's
                         3. It can be done in the air
                         4. It can do multiple hits, and most importantly....
                         5. It's on fire


-----------------------------
Hyper Combos
-----------------------------

  Triple Dragon Punch   - Down, Forward, PP
    (Shouryuureppa)     - This move was actually first invented in Super
                          Street Fighter II, when they didn't even have
                          supers yet. I clearly remember always playing
                          as Ken and my toughest opponent not counting
                          bosses was none other than Ken. He'd be totally
                          cheap and sometimes he would do a jab Dragon
                          Punch immediately followed by a strong Dragon
                          Punch immediately followed by a fierce Dragon
                          Punch. Anyway, this move is quite effective
                          if you land the whole thing but chances of that
                          are quite low. This is a very good move when
                          you're linking combos but if blocked, get ready
                          for a vertical super.

  Super Dragon Punch    - Down, Forward, KK
     (Shinryuuken)      - Ken sets up for a super like he usually does,
                          then rises up with a huge Dragon Punch with
                          the entire vertical column he's in on fire.
                          Awesome looking and effecting move and great
                          for combo finishers. But then you take the
                          good with the bad. Well, the only thing
                          really bad with this move like most of his
                          moves is the recovery time. Anyone with an
                          air beam super can totally waste you if you
                          don't connect.

  Super Hurricane Kick  - Down, Back, KK
 (Shippu Jinrai Kyaku)  - Ken sets up for a super like he usually does,
                          and then like the move says, does a super
                          hurricane kick. He moves across the screen doing
                          a series of spinning standing kicks followed
                          by a regular hurricane kick. This move is most
                          effective when done right next to the person,
                          and looks really stupid when it totally misses.
                          Awesome looking and effecting move and great for
                          combo finishers. But then you take the good with
                          the bad. Well, the only thing really bad with
                          this move like most of his moves is the recovery
                          time. Anyone with a vertical super can totally
                          waste you if you don't connect.

                         LP, LP, Hurricane Kick...........
                       - Before I go any further the Hurricane Kick must
                         be used with LK other wise it wont work. Anyway,
                         as you have realized by now this is an infinite,
                         and your friends will most likely punch you if
                         you do this too many times so my advice is to
                         only do this to the CPU. Also make sure you have
                         cornered your opponent and that he's not Kobun.
                         As for how it looks it two air punches followed
                         by a Hurricane Kick followed by....... (I might
                         as well stop now)

- Thanks to Piccolo_0223 for the following combos

   Basic Air combo    - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Super Jump, LP,
                        LK, LP, LK, HP
                      - Like the name of the combo it is pretty much a
                        basic air combo. Ken rushes in with ducking punch
                        kick combination followed by a short and sweet air
                        combo. Nothing special but effective and easy to
                        do. Read on.....

- The following combos are just variations of the Basic Air combo so im not
 goona give a detailed explanation on the combos because it's the same thing
 with one or two different moves.


   Basic Air combo    - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Super Jump, LP,
 (different version)    LK, LP, LK, HK


   Basic Air combo    - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Super Jump, LP,
 (different version)    LK, LP, LK, HP, HK


   Basic Air combo    - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Super Jump, LP,
 (different version)    LK, LP, LK, Hurricane Kick


   Basic Air combo    - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Super Jump, LP,
 (different version)    LK, LP, LK, LP, Dragon Punch (Using HP) (You have
                        to slow down the last couple of hits. Don't speed
                        dial other wise you'll screw up)


   Basic Air combo    - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Super Jump, LP,
 (different version)    LK, LP, LK, HK

   1, 2, Shin-ru       - Dashing ducking LK, ducking HP, Shinryuuken
                       - It rhymes............ Anyway, nothing special like
                         most of the combos on this Ken FAQ but contains a
                         super so gets it's own description. Just like the
                         name it's a 1, 2 combo. A ducking punch kick combo
                         followed by a Super Dragon Punch.


   Basic Ground Combo  - Dashing LP or LK, LK or LK, HP, Fireball (using HP)
                       - Just like most of the above combo it's a basic
                         combo. A simple 1, 2 punch / kick combo followed
                         by a HP and a HP Hadouken. One thing you need to
                         know is that this will not work on extremely short
                         characters because the fierce won't connect. Also,
                         if you use LP the first time you have to use LK the
                         second time and vice verse.


   Hurricane Combo     - Dashing LP or LK, LK or LK, HP, Super Hurricane
                         Kick
                       - Just like most of the above combo it's a basic
                         combo. A simple 1, 2 punch / kick combo followed
                         by a HP and a Super Hurricane Kick. One thing you
                         need to know is that this will not work on extremely
                         short characters because the fierce won't connect.
                         Also, if you use LP the first time you have to use
                         LK the second time and vice verse.


   Shouryuureppa       - Dashing LP or LK, LK or LK, HP, Super Hurricane
                         Kick
                       - Just like most of the above combo it's a basic
                         combo. A simple 1, 2 punch / kick combo followed
                         by a HP and a Triple Dragon Punch. One thing you
                         need to know is that this will not work on extremely
                         short characters because the fierce won't connect.
                         Also, if you use LP the first time you have to use
                         LK the second time and vice verse.


  Dragon Combo         - (Really fast) Jumping LP, Jumping LP, Jumping HK,
                         (When I say jumping I mean do LP, LP, HK in one
                         jump) LP, Ducking LK, Ducking LK, Fireball,
                         Triple Dragon Punch, Super Dragon Punch, Jumping
                         LP, Jumping LP, Jumping HP, Jumping LK, (by now
                         you should have landed) Jumping HP, Jumping LP,
                         Jumping LP, Jumping HK,
                       - I did this combo in my sleep...... Anyway, this
                         is by far the best and hardest Ken combo I have
                         ever seen and is obviously only for experts. Also
                         Obviously, James Chen was the only person who
                         managed to pull this off so let me run it down.
                         Ken first leaps into action with 2 jumping punches
                         and a jumping kick followed by two ducking kicks
                         and a fireball. Then Ken really deals out the
                         damage with a Triple Dragon Punch into a Super
                         Dragon Punch followed by a similar quick combo.
