Hit Confirm

15 SA / 19 TC

Notes Has good forward movement; whiffs on crouching opponents at farther ranges unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; hitconfirmable Target Combo follow-up makes it strong in neutral; Super is much harder to hitconfirm but can buffer into a safe SA2 in neutral; front leg hurtbox is raised on frames 4-15, allowing it to dodge some low attacks

Notes Puts opponent into limited juggle state; Run~Stop cancel: KD+30/-12

Notes Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; cancels to j.214K with a long cancel window; lower body projectile invuln 6-22f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Spike Knockdown on counter-hit/Punish Counter vs. airborne opponents; great downward hitbox for close jump-ins and neutral jump throw baits; lower body projectile invuln 9-23f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Cross-up

Notes Cross-up; lower body projectile invuln 7-20f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Great horizontal range for a jump-in; lower body projectile invuln 10-19f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Forward jump only; can hit cross-up; puts opponent into limited juggle state; the last 11f of recovery puts Ken in a crouching state

Notes Forward jump only; 7f extra landing recovery on whiff; can hit twice vs. airborne opponents; can hit cross-up (deals 5f less hitstun, 200 less damage); Ken is in a crouching state from 4th landing recovery frame onward

Hit Confirm

14 SA / 27 follow-up

Notes Puts opponents into limited juggle state; follow-up can be delayed up to 5f if input as late as possible (affecting frame trap and juggle opportunities); follow-ups can also be input on whiff; good approach tool that doesn't extend a hurtbox until active

Hit Confirm

Notes 1-hit projectile; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state

Hit Confirm

19

Notes Follow-up can be input on hit/block/whiff; better KD Adv. after 236HK launch; whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox (236LK -23/-35; 236MK -22/-31; 236HK KD/ -26)

Hit Confirm

15

Notes Follow-up can be input on hit/block/whiff; using 236MK~6LK will counter-hit any opponent button; causes a +32 Hard Knockdown on Counter-hit/Punish Counter (gives good oki but prevents follow-up links)

Hit Confirm

16

Notes Follow-up can be input on hit/block/whiff; lifts Ken's leg hurtbox on frames 4-21, allowing it to dodge some low attacks; due to its slow startup, opponent can easily switch from low block to high block to cover both mixup options; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle OTG bounce state (can only follow up with SA3 cancel if the juggle was started with the 6MK follow-up)

Hit Confirm

17 SA / 25 follow-up

Notes Follow-up can be delayed up to 6f if input as late as possible (affecting frame trap and juggle opportunities); follow-ups can also be input on whiff

Hit Confirm

14 SA / 34 follow-up

Notes Follow-up can be delayed up to 3f if input as late as possible (affecting frame trap and juggle opportunities); follow-ups can also be input on whiff

Hit Confirm

Notes 1-hit projectile; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; useful for meaty corner setups if well-spaced, preventing wakeup SA1

Hit Confirm

14 SA / 29 follow-up

Notes Follow-up can be delayed up to 2f if input as late as possible (affecting frame trap and juggle opportunities); best starter for frame trapping into 6LK follow-up; follow-ups can also be input on whiff

Hit Confirm

19

Notes Follow-up can be input on hit/block/whiff; better KD Adv. after 236HK launch; whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox (236LK -23/-35; 236MK -22/-31; 236HK KD/ -26)

12

Notes 2-hit OD projectile with extremely fast recovery; at some ranges, Ken can follow up with Drive Rush to combo afterwards; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state

Notes Can dodge lows until frame 40; first 2 active frames only hit airborne, causing spike knockdown on hit or OTG bounce on Punish Counter; 1f better hit/block advantage vs. crouching opponents; cannot hit cross-up

Hit Confirm

14

Notes Good anti-air; 3rd hit whiffs vs. crouch block (2f worse advantage, 75 less chip dmg); cannot hit cross-up

Notes Great range and speed, useful in whiff punishes and juggles; cannot hit cross-up

Notes Puts opponent into limited juggle state if 1st hit connects; if the first hit whiffs the second hit will always do 700 damage, but has worse KD Adv.; both hits connect on crouching opponents; cannot hit cross-up

Notes Better KD Adv. if first hit connects; both hits connect on crouching opponents; cannot hit cross-up

Notes Forward jump only; can hit cross-up; puts opponent into limited juggle state; the last 11f of recovery puts Ken in a crouching state

Notes Forward jump only; 7f extra landing recovery on whiff; can hit twice vs. airborne opponents; can hit cross-up (deals 5f less hitstun, 200 less damage); Ken is in a crouching state from 4th landing recovery frame onward

Notes See [[Street_Fighter_6/Gauges#Drive_Rush|Drive Rush]]; 3-bar version performed on hit/block from a cancelable normal; can also be performed on whiff from cancelable light normals; startup refers to minimum time before an attack can cancel the Drive Rush animation; the first 15 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack; the final 22 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack or movement option or blocking (except Parry); only Normal and Command Normal attacks are enhanced with +4 frame advantage and improved juggle properties

Notes Can input follow-ups from 11-31f; follow-ups will not reverse direction if crossing under opponent; Ken is in counter-hit state for entire duration; when inputting with 5KKK takes priority over OD special moves (does not apply when inputting with 5KK after performing a special move input); Run Distance: 1.37 (early stop) / 2.92 (max)

Notes 27f is fastest total Run~Stop time; Ken is in counter-hit state for entire duration

Hit Confirm

15

Notes Acts like a Normal Attack for Super canceling (including no extra damage scaling when canceled to SA3); puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; can be spaced safely in neutral, or used as a frame trap out of 5HP~Run (allowing a link on counter-hit); extends a forward hurtbox during recovery

Notes 27f is fastest total Run~Stop time; Ken is in counter-hit state for entire duration

Notes Strong and fast air-to-air; lower body projectile invuln 6-19f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Switches sides with opponent on hit; Full Dmg distribution: 500,300x2,900

Notes Fast startup and good range, making it good for punishes and juggle combos; completely safe on block due to pushback; great chip tool vs. opponents in Burnout (can continue dealing more chip after being safely blocked); benefits from 20% Counter-hit/Punish Counter damage increase unlike most Supers; Full Dmg distribution: 300x4,200x5,600

Notes 1st hit leads to full animation (non-cinematic damage varies based on juggle height, and allows a follow-up juggle); 2 hits whiff on crouch block (reduced chip, slightly worse advantage); cinematic time regenerates ~2 Drive bars for Ken
