8.) Figure out how on earth to use Ryu and Ken online (it IS possible)!

It's been a while since I've played elite smash but I'm kicking butt and taking names once again! My modern take on Ken is that, like many other characters in ultimate, his meta is nothing like his gameplay from his respective game! Basically if one considers his moves in neutral as grabs Ken...

GC controller, completely default buttons. I'd use tilt stick if I used a character that really needed it; dtilt/utilt are easy enough to do without it though.

As for frame data, kudos for Kurogane Hammer for finishing Ken's frame data: http://kuroganehammer.com/Ultimate/Ken It includes the %damage increase of command moves and the invulnerability frames of command Shoryu as well which is neat.

Buffer slightly. The timing's weird, but if you do the 2 jabs -> motion attack quickly enough despite Ken not quite completing the moves yet it works consistently.

As much as I dislike Hbox and despite Jiggs not playing any different between Melee and Ultimate...I like Jiggs in Ultimate as well. Is that weird? LOL

Falco. I mained Falco in Smash 4 and embraced his low-tier, 0 neutral game status. Now with the mechanic changes he's incredibly fun, and basically has 3 moves he didn't have before: neutral b, dair and sideb (besides recovering). It seems like his other aerials only got better as well, save...

I just updated the guide to include more tips for online play after playing a ton of online as Ken! I've finally found some approach options for Ken online that are very solid besides just blocking and occasionally rolling. Read the red text for online tips! Anything in white text can be...

ShoryuKen >:D

Simply upB toward wherever you want to Shoryuken when recovering, as it's only possible to do the motion specials in the direction Ken is facing.

The wavedash at 0:17 is by far the cleanest. If that's easy enough to do consistently, it will be a great tool in competitive play for a character whose ground spacing means everything! Dash -> reverse fsmash is already staple as Ken. This optimized could be a faster alternative that's safer...

Knuckles, hands-down. Replace his assist trophy with Tails who would follow you around like he did in the original Sonic games. That or Dr. Eggman as a new assist trophy.

Considering how much gains are slowing down for me past 1.62m, I'm guessing that the cap is somewhere around or before 17m.

I'm just about done editing this guide - let me know if there's anything important I've missed! Long live Ken!

To be fair, Ken's single hits deal a ton of damage in general. Dash attack deals up to 15.2% and is a killmove. Downsmash always faces opponents, comes out on frame 5, has good range and solid shield damage and deals nearly 20%. Fair sweetspot deals over 16% which is nuts. Past 50% Ken...
