"Ken Turns Up the Heat!"
This is the official discussion thread for Ken, confirmed as an Echo Fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!
Original OP:
The Short Intro:
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a new term was made for simple clone characters known as "Echo Fighters", and that title is the literal definition for Ken Masters in Street Fighter (well, at least before SF3 anyways).
In Street Fighter and Street Fighter II (it's first iteration) in particular, Ken is a clone of Ryu, with very minor differences. Later iterations of SF2 included more noticeable changes and in later games his moveset felt more distinct.
In the case of Smash, Ken being an Echo Fighter makes the most sense and it's probably the only possible way he could get in. So his moveset would be pretty much Ryu's with those small changes from the earlier SF games.
He might be able to be added at last minute for the base roster if they need to, and it would be pretty easy to make in comparison to any brand new fighter. And as many people pointed out in the thread, he's the Original Echo Fighter, so he's the echo that makes the most sense to add in Smash, being iconic in his own weird, unique way.
NOW with the introduction of Richter in this game, 3rd party echoes are now super likely. This is now Ken's big chance to shine.
The man got in boys!
Thank you all who supported him since the begining, I think this was quite a ride.
