Respect Ken Masters

Now, you should have known that since there is a thread on Ryu, his rival/training partner/ Pan American Champion wasn't far behind.

Ken represents the stylish side of Ansatsuken to Ryu's substance. He is also fun to play with, having come out of Ryu's shadow.

Finally.

I was waiting for someone to make Ken's respect thread.

Now lets start with the goodies...

Ken vs Vega in SFV
YouTube video
His damage soak is simply breathtaking. How could he keep on fighting?!

Ken Masters tribute
YouTube video
Ryu vs Ken match ends in a stalemate. Ken smacks Ryu out of the influence of the Satsui-no-hadou with a punch to the gut. And then fighting that freaky cyborg--he shows once again a great deal of durability and damage soak as he takes 2 blasts head on and continues to fight it; then he performs the mighty Shoryuken that breaks the cyborg's jaw. He also whoops on some grunts and ends a fight with Solom in less than 2 seconds.

Classic that never gets old.

Respect Ken Masters! LOL!

Anyways...

Ryu & Ken vs Bison in the SF2 movie

In SFAlpha 3

Bison is pathetic. Just thought I should mention that.

In the animes he is actually tough as ****.

In the games...well he lacks substance.

Ken raised the bar for cool. Game & anime versions of Bison are both tough

The faces of Ken Masters...

Very nice, Snafu.

Ken & Terry are instant classics.

respect Ken!

Or never mind. It was just Ken owning in his sleep.

Now this is Ryu shooting an energy blast similar to a kamehameha from DBZ.

THAT'S NOT ELIZA!
