Man, Ken and I never got along (the one time we talked)...I owe him ten dollars...

So I'm really surprised at how similar we are!?

I'm also an Illustration Major, who dreams of doing card art for MTG. That really can't be too common of a scenario. Maybe someday I'll run into him around WoTC and give him that ten dollars.

Eh, Ken seems kind of like a savant to me >.> Great at Smash (scratch that, amazing at Smash), not so much in other areas. I dunno, I personally wouldn't like to hang around someone who "knows" he's better than me and always will be. Still, it takes that kind of personality to create such a lasting legacy such as his.

And he's changing his name to Nekromancer? Nekromancer? Are you serious? o.o The reason Ken stuck so well was because he doesn't rely on flashy names; it's just Ken, and it's just about the game.

About Brawl, though, I doubt he'll lie low once it comes out. From what I've seen/heard of him, he's not one to back down from going for number one in two smash games. Who knows, though? Only time will tell. </cliche'd lines>

... :(

**** MD/VA. I have no region. no really...
"I can read ChuDat, Azen, PC Chris, Mew2King like pop up books, however, every time I open the book entitled "KoreanDJ" I always seem to get a paper cut. He is so random sometimes that it throws me completely off"

its funny how he says this but recently lost to pc chris and was also 3 stocked in crews and in tourney by mew2king...

Ugh what an arrogant **** he really needs to get a life especially putting smash before his education, newsflash Nintendo is not going to hire you full time for being good at a game.

Seemed more like he's doing the opposite right now...

What's with people "retiring" and still going to tournaments? Smash is a hobby, not a career. If you go to tournaments, you aren't retired.

I think it's just so they can say "oh, well I'm retired" when they don't do as well as expected.

Does anyone get the feeling that Ken has something against Mew2King?

And btw he probably would not have come across as being so arrogant if you actually heard the conversation rather than just reading a transcript of it (best ive got in ken's defence :/)

See, the king of smash agrees with what I've been saying all along about Zamus being a Sheik clone.

Firstly...he's not putting Smash before his schoolin'...he's retiring to focus on his school and other parts of his life. Also, as he mentioned, Smash paid for his school. Secondly, yeah, you can retire and still go to tournaments. He is retiring as a pro smasher, aka somebody who makes money smashing. If he stops practicing and rarely goes to tourneys he prolly won't be winning very much money at the ones he does attend. Lastly, and this is important, maybe he is not incredulously humble, but at least he is good enough to deserve the praise he gives himself.

I swear, why does the Brawl room have to be full of even-more-than-so arrogant *******s?

Seriously, it's just an interview with Ken. They asked him questions, he gave them strait forwards answers, nothing to complain about. You guys are showing a real bad side.

He was able to put himself through college playing smash, how many of you can say that that isn't amazing?

@Mic: Get a life? You're on a forum dedeicated to a Video game, discussing a person who many idolize for playing said game, and you're flaming. Who's in the need of a life?

Oh how I wish I could go to the tournament Ken is going to attend so that I may test for myself if he is truly "The King of Smash." A match that would forever go down in history as the greatest Smash battle ever seen!

And when Brawl comes out, there will be a new king in town......and that person is Shadenexus.

And who pretell did you pick to face Ken? Just because you couldn't hack it bro doesn't mean that I the self proclaimed "Smash Sovereign" in the metropolitan area will get *****! Ha! Just you wait bro, when I encounter Ken, I will crush him!

And Mew2King is smal potatoes. He's fallen from grace a couple of times.

*sigh* Seriously shade, I doubt you will be able to play them online. I'm just going by current standings. Mew2King pretty much eliminated all of Ken's crew at OC3.

Trust me, you can't beat them shade.

Can't is something in your vocabulary, not mine. I've been honing my skills at Smash just as long and has hard as your all time hero Ken has. I promise you Phoenix, one day very soon I will face him and prove to you that there are many many kinks in Ken's armor. Same thing goes with Mew2King. And that you can take straight to the bank.

I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS! HAIL THE PRINCE OF SAIYANS!

^^No no bro, I know where you're going with this and it's kind of humorous. But lets not kid ourselves, if I lived at the same location as Ken did I'd be whoopin that @$$ in Melee every day of the week. I'm tellin you, when it comes to Melee I'm the best. Of course Fisk, you could learn this first hand if you were to say......challenge me online, so that I may let my actions speak volumes just as loud as my words do.

Ummm..... I think you should just play him before jumping to conclusions.

Playing them is entirely different from watching them play.

Now why should I waste my valuable time watching a person I can beat ten times over while I could be perfecting my own tricks of the trade hmmm? And FYI: Watching that Falcon master, G-Regulate's vids are much more entertaining than watching and studying Ken's.

And don't you worry Phoenix, I will play him and own him every time I play him. Believe you me, if I could play him at this very moment in time, I'd bury em six feet under with any character that he would choose.

In that case, show me some proof. I acually have a couple of vids, but not that great.

Ken doesn't really come off as cocky. He shows much love for other pros, and even states that there are no bad smashers, practically everyone is good at this game. When he says he will always be the King of Smash, I don't think he means that he can't be beat, but rather that his LEGACY is something that can't be taken from him, which is truth, not cockyness.
I'm glad someone can read ;)

I still say it's a bit cocky, claiming to be able to read players such as M2K and Azen like a "popup book".

Not bat EPF, not bad at all. You did a couple pretty risky air dodges though, gotta watch that against a smarter opponent.

It really does sound like he has something against mew2king. Though when you think about it, m2k did kind of take over the spotlight for a while.
