Ken Masters: The Ultimate Echo (Street) Fighter

[THE 6r]

I just want to point out that if you look very closely in the bottom right corner Ken does indeed have an icon as you can see his transparent render.

Here's a closeup on Ken's portrait, shared on the official discussion thread by Maxoxpower:

The one thing that kills this leak for me is still his foot, not the one clipping in the stage but the other one. Something about it seems off, like it’s floating or maybe just pasted there.

There's a bug where the metal plate on that stage doesn't show shadows for some reason; not sure what thread this was originally on, I just got it from the Geno thread:

Edit: accidental post in wrong thread.

"I am maining K. Rool and Ken" is such a weird thing to say, yet so wonderful

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Just remind the Pichu photo is not the same as E3

Look at Pichu’s ear on the left comparing it to E3

There’s is slightly more ear than the E3 Pichu and Pichu was never playable in the demo remember that.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

This might help the leak even more

As you can see the Pichu today is different from the one shown at E3

And looks a lot more like the one from the suposivly photo

And if that wasn’t enough Artsy Omni thinks it’s real

And he’s definately a high level of figuring out if photos are fake or not

 

[Lyndis_]

Always a really fun character. Support.

 

[FalconFire93]

Ken is the original echo fighter before echo fighters were a thing back when Street Fighter II came out, so I support his inclusion.

 

[scoobymcsnack]

Makes too much sense, I support.

 

[Gemini-Gene]

Has the Ken pic been debunked yet? I'm still waiting on more news about this supposed leak.

Nope not even close to debunking it

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Hello, I support... Ken is part of gaming history

 

[VioletSmashfan]

Even though I'm more of an Akuma fan, Ken has earned his spot and is long overdue (can't have Ryu without Ken).

I support!

 

[AncientArk]

I like Ken, so I hope its real.
Ken is pretty cool.

 

[zeldasmash]

Ken is one of my favorite Street Fighter characters alongside Ryu, Bison and Akuma. The leak is looking pretty darn real so I'm ready to say he's someone I'm gonna pick up. I support good 'ol Ken Masters.

 

[Mr Gentleman]

Last time I dropped by here Ken was just hopeful thinking. now he's pretty much locked in! which makes me happy! it never felt right to have Ryu in the game without his best friend Ken!

 

[ninjahmos]

That leak of Ken in Smash looks the most convincing yet!

Ken needs two designs for Smash. His design from Street Fighter II and his design from Street Fighter V.

 

[smash puffle]

I updated the support list and added more stock icons to the OP.
Now I'll ask you guys... will you main Ken when the game comes out? Personally, he will be one of my secondaries.

Well, TBH I’m kind of indecisive when it comes to picking Smash mains and secondaries. I don’t know who to main and who to secondary.

 

[G-Guy]

Well I'll be playing him over Ryu for sure, however he won't be my real main. that honor goes to the Kremling King. He'll make a great secodary, though

 

[alemerltoucanet]

While I've never played a Street Fighter game, I honestly like Ken as in terms of appearance and looks, and having a Ryu but with fire would actually be very visually appealing and cool, plus he's factually the original Echo Fighter. Count me in as a supporter!

he'll be one of my secondaries as well and one of my friends is a true blue Ryu main if I team up with him in doubles I'll definitely play Ken

That leak of Ken in Smash looks the most convincing yet!

Ken needs two designs for Smash. His design from Street Fighter II and his design from Street Fighter V.

I agree and Ryu should have 4 SFII alts and 4 SFV alts (Bearded Ryu)

If he gets SFV alts Smash Ultimate Ryu in particular could be an amalgamation of him throughout the SF series.

SFI & II: Introduction and Design
SFIII: Donkey Kick (Forward Smash) and Parry (Perfect Shield sound)
SFIV: Focus Attack (Down Special)
SFV?: Appearance

 

[ninjahmos]

I also think Ken’s Theme needs a Ver. 2 Remix arranged by, none other than, Yoko Shimomura, herself, for Smash!

 

[Spinosaurus]

Ryu's new model for Ultimate actually takes quite a bit from his SFV design.

Which, mind you, is some pretty minor differences, but hey it's gotta count for something.

In Ultimate, his face kinda looks like Kazuya’s face from Tekken. And I kinda like it.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

No point supporting all leading evidence seems to support Ken along with Incineroar are pretty lock-on for this game.

 

[smash puffle]

Hey, do you guys think Ken will be announced alongside Incineroar, or separately? Of course the special edition box releases early November, so it's just a matter of time. How do you guys think they will reveal Ken?

I'm honestly thinking what were getting supposedly this week or this month (Mid or Late October) is the final direct. If I had to guess we'll probably be getting 4-5 more characters among those being Ken and Incineroar so yes.

I don’t think Incineroar’s in the game, so I guess separately.

We might get a Smash Direct for DLC, though.

I mean it would be rather strange that we get a final direct in october, to me anyways. If that happens, then what do we get in November? What else thats considered big news would be in the month before the game releases? Seems a little too early too me.

It would make most sense and logical thing to do this month because November is terrible time for leaks. Remember what happened with Brawl and Sm4sh before launch? You'd think Sakurai and Nintendo would learn that.

That and Pokemon Go comes out next month so that gives it the spotlight while Smash gets it this month.

 

[DaUsername]

Looks like Ken now has yet another leak in his favor.

 

[Nakamura]

well this is news, still probably gonna play Ryu though in brackets.

 

[Aeon Lupin]

Looks like Ken now has yet another leak in his favor.

Yeah. Ken is probably the most assured new character addition thus far.

 

[Ridrool64]

If Ken isn't in, I will do a backflip.

Coming from somebody who'd prefer Sakura, or Dan, or even Akuma as the Ryu Echo, I'm as certain as can be that Ken is in.

 

[smash puffle]

holy frick this day has been crazy

 

[Aeon Lupin]

holy frick this day has been crazy

It's just what the speculation scene needed to ignite discussion. Whether this is fake or real, at least it has people talking until our next batch of news.

 

[THE 6r]

Well, today was unexpected to say the least. Man I suddenly feel so much HYPE

 

[ninjahmos]

The ENTIRE roster’s been leaked!
