Tips for Ken

    Be unpredictable. Ken’s entire playstyle is centered around mind games and baiting and punishing your opponent.
    Learn to use pftilt(the move ken flicks his leg straight forward in straight line) since if you can land that, you can easily combo into upair true dp/attack cancel back air/nair up air string etc.
    Crescent kick (reverse quarter circle) is actually nuts. It combos into literally everything. Down smash, F smash, grab, down tilt, shoryu, nair, and even dair.
    Almost all of Ken’s moves have multiple degrees to which you can use them, ex. Down tilt has a short and long, his short is perfect for confirms with his inputs or up B.
    Search up and learn how to perform medium dp consistently, since medium dp(pretty much up b without fire effect and does the double hit effect) kills earlier then fire dp when you and enemy is airborn
