[Altered Juice]

breaking news

 

[HORRORSHØW]

 

[Werewolf Jones]

While it's like announcing Luigi to appear alongside Mario the new design and fighting style is very much welcomed & appreciated.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I, for one, am shocked at this announcement.

 

[Justified]

Yes!!!!!

If they know whats good for them he will be.

If not the backlash against Nintendo for BlasterBall Metroid would pale in comparison.

For if the strike Ken down, then fans will become more powerful than theycould possibly imagine

What a waste of a spot if he shows up.

He was Banned for that blasphemy

Spoiler

That was Akuma is the teaser at the end

 

[Sora_N]

I was so scared he would be cut




...not

 

[SolidSnakex]

I, for one, am shocked at this announcement.

He's not a shoto anymore apparently, which is pretty damn shocking.

 

[fwpx]

what a shocking development

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Wow he looks totally different! I like!

 

[Mr. Smiley]

His hair tho

 

[OnionPowder]

Thank god

Seems like they teased someone else in that video

 

[dot]

He's not a shoto anymore and he got a redesign.

holy crap lol

 

[JordanKZ]

I can't wait to see how he actually plays. Super interesting turn for the series.

 

[morikaze]

MEGATON

 

[Lights and Waves]

Doesn't this discredit that leak list? It didn't have him or Akuma.

 

[xaszatm]

What, one of the two characters that have been in every main street fighter game is in the latest main street fighter game? SURELY YOU JEST!

 

[Kelsdesu]

There was no hype there

 

[Karsha]

Was that Akuma or violent Ken at the end? lol

 

[Rymuth]

Kinda unreal that some seriously thought he was gonna be cut from the roster.

 

[Dubz]

No Blanka equals no buy

JK....congrats to Ken fans.

 

[Iced]

He's not a shoto anymore apparently, which is pretty damn shocking.

"The hot-headed shoto fighter returns!"

 

[KingBroly]

Honda tease?

 

[McLovin]

Guys I have an official confirmation that fireballs will be making a return!

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

my boy.

needs a haircut though.

 

[Master Thespian]

Ken being in is not shocking. Ken having a completely new look and fighting style is shocking.

 

[Elginer]

That's my boy.

 

[Orochinagis]

And still, Cammy just got tactical strapes so far.

Didnt ken abandoned training and becomes the CEO of his company ?

 

[Alienous]

Ken's tired of that looking the same shit.

 

[libregkd]

Was that Honda I saw flash near the end of that tease?

 

[213372bu]

That design...

Some Deviant Art levels of quality from what I can see.

I really want to see it clearer before I make a judgement but : |

 

[malfcn]

Can't have Ryu without Ken.

 

[NZerker12]

Not surprised about the reveal but I am surprised that he is no longer going to be a shoto. I wonder if he is going to be more like Adon with more kick based attacks.

However, please don't be a charge character

Spoiler

because I suck at them.

 

[Booya_base]

Ok, count me in then, got to have Ken, otherwise no buy.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Somewhere, Verendus is rolling in his game.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Megaton.

 

[Rhaknar]

sigh

at least he looks different

 

[Shuggananas]

hair looks better than before
but I just don't know why people get hyped for the most obvious character to come back

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Am I the only one who sees it?

 

[TheSeks]

His hair tho

First thing I noticed. Not a good thing.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Remember when people were positive he was out?

No way were they making a Street Fighter without Ken

 

[PhatSaqs]

And the sky is blue...

 

[TraBuch]

Why are people saying he's no longer shoto? Doesn't that one picture specifically say he's shoto?

 

[Astarte]

Kinda unreal that some seriously thought he was gonna be cut from the roster.

People think that the word of Verendus is complete truth.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

Kinda unreal that some seriously thought he was gonna be cut from the roster.

Yep lol

can't have Street Fighter without my boy Ken

 

[PhaZZe]

looks cool, im in!
