While it's not the full trailer, here's more of the Ken reveal

He definitely seems to be the fastest character in the game going by that footage.

HOTDAMN!!!!!

 

[bishopcruz]

the design + fighting style change might indicate that this takes place after 4 then?

You mean after 3? Yeah, defintitely looks that way.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Lol at all the people repeating 'he's not a shoto'. No, he still is.

 

[def sim]

Yeah, I'm going to need more people explaining why he isn't a shoto other than Max. I generally believe him, but that video shows he still has the fundamental aspects of a shoto.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I think it's more likely Capcom is just gonna pretend 3 never existed

 

[thefit]

Looks shoto with new moves/combos, why change his costume then? SMH lets hope its an option on some dlc to get him back to what he's supposed to look like. Man Ryu always gets the shaft with the same moveset.

I love how Ken is more leg gameplay focused while ryu is more about fists

 

[Save 'N Quit]

I for one am genuinely surprised.

That the other character whose been present in every other Street Fighter game is returning in the newest entry.

Holy shit. Loving his redesign as well.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

Does he have the Street Fighter Alpha roll?

 

[PadWarrior]

Someone get me a ps4 please

 

[CountBlack]

that's not deejay


they really made step kick his V-Skill tho

 

[Rentahamster]

Who dat who dat?

Albino Honda.

 

[Nibel]

Isn't that shoto in the video? Can someone explain this?

 

[KTallguy]

What's up with that terrible hair...

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I think it's more likely Capcom is just gonna pretend 3 never existed

but all the 3S characters were so well received in 4

 

[Ferrio]

Isn't that shoto in the video? Can someone explain this?

We're being lied to!

 

[DrArchon]

Looks great! Wish they'd gave him his kick fireball from Omega mode just for some more visual flair, but everything else looks sweet. Hope any other future shots get changed as much (if not more) than this.

 

[Skab]

I like how his new look is just his gi folded down at the waist and a black under armor style shirt.

 

[Prototype]

His hair looks terrible. Really not liking the design at all. Between this and the roster rumors so far... not really feeling it. Ken looks really stupid.

 

[Xater]

Im pretty sure it takes place after 3S now.

That's what I thought as well. Otherwise a Ken re-design would make zero sense.

 

[Hadoukie]

After those rumors form yesterday, this is a total hype killer. Wake me up when they announce some interesting characters

 

[SSReborn]

Isn't that shoto in the video? Can someone explain this?

Max is on dope.

 

[Collateral22]

Might have been mentioned but there will be 3 Beta's for SFV too according to maximillian.

 

[Caronte]

The hair is awful.

 

[Stone Ocean]

but all the 3S characters were so well received in 4

I mean story-wise. Hell, 4 is the biggest offender in that sense since if we were to follow the actual timeline 3S characters would be babies in 4

 

[Stallion Dan]

Who are these terrible players?

 

[kirblar]

His hair looks terrible. Really not liking the design at all. Between this and the roster rumors so far... not really feeling it. Ken looks really stupid.

It's very Chris Jericho circa 1999.

 

[Clawww]

his v-trigger looks like an FADC lol

 

[mdsfx]

Spoiler

#LIES

 

[Captain Smirk]

It's very Chris Jericho circa 1999.

 

[Gbraga]

The redesign is pretty damn sick, makes me want to play him just for that. The gameplay is whatever, FADC as a V-Trigger is OP

 

[Rymuth]

I think it's more likely Capcom is just gonna pretend 3 never existed

I think so too.

Wooooow!! Ken looks awesome!

 

[TheOGB]

Methinks people were a bit too quick to parrot Max's initial reaction

 

[ArjanN]

Who dat who dat?

Hmm.

 

[BareKnuckle]

I'm clicking the Twitter link to the video and it's just a picture?

I'm on mobile, help

 

[rokkerkory]

He looks gross but good he is back

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Hmm.

not even close

I'm almost in tears here.

Open it in the app I had the same issue.

 

[Ninka_kiwi]

Ken should have a mechanic like Ky's in Guilty Gear xrd where if you do enough damage to him his pony tail comes off, making his hair look like classic Ken.

So hyped to see Ken though, he looks like an SNK character with all that speed from the V trigger.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

REALLY appreciate the redesign, about damn time (and sets a great precedent for the rest of the returning cast)

 

[Stone Ocean]

I don't see anything wrong with his hair, it's just a small ponytail Geralt from Witcher 2 style

 

[m_shortpants]

YES

YES

YES

I wonder if he's similar to his Omega mode version.

IM HYPE

Is his step kick his V skill?

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

His hair is just bleh

I really hope his classic costume changes this

 

[spoonztt]

I was disappointed to hear Ken was in the game but the gameplay looks pretty damn awesome.

 

[Mermandala]

Oh, he wears the gi around his waist like some 90s suburban skateboard kid. That under armour shit he has on ain't gonna cut it.

He's abandoning his discipline to pursue his own stylish art of in-your-face-legs-on-fire. I mean that's what the designer would say instead of he cosplays Rugal.

SWEET LORD JESUS

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Am I the only one who sees it?

I think you mean

Personally I was thinking Ryo Sakazaki (Mr. Karate version):
