Talk:Ken Masters

message: It is reveal that ken, dan, and sakura has the Dark hadou, every one that practice the same style as ryu.. go to www.capcomcomics.com and go up under street fighter IV, you will see the front cover page with evil ryu and evil ken. Aton Crow
It is also seen in the Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist that, while learning to channel the Hadou, Ken's early failures motivated him to try the Satsui no Hadou. With a single try, he surpassed Ryu's progression. Gunthaar

* Capcom's official biography for Ken states this.  It also states that he is not a real blond, but instead dyes his hair. --Mitsukai 18:25, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  To the people who are making move lists: 

message: I don't believe this is worth mentioning for a number of reasons:
*The primary reason is that the games are not related at all.  It's not called Street Fighter anything in Japanese.
*Beyond that, the tenuous connection that Capcom USA made was not based on any sort of conjecture, but as a mere attempt to get people to buy the game by slapping "Street Fighter" onto it and calling the main character "Ken".
*Even now that Capcom USA has control of SF canon, they're not mentioning this; actually, the "future SF" timeline is supposed to be Captain Commando according to them.
*Not many people remember the (very old) NES game in modern times.
Because of these reasons, I don't even think it merits a mention in the Ken Masters article, although I'm willing to give a passing "The Ken of the NES game is not related to this Ken at all" in the trivia section a chance. Danny Lilithborne 00:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't Ken 178cm tall? I played Street Fighter VI in www.everyvideogame.com and there was written that Ken's height is 178cm and also American sources say that Ken is 5'10" tall. There are two different versions of Street Fighter, The American version and the Japanese Verison. And the American version tells that Ken Masters is 178cm tall.
*What the heck is this SFVI you keep talking about?  SF only goes up to 3.  You don't seem to have any reliable sources that override the SF Plot Guide. Danny Lilithborne 19:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Infobox

message: This article is nothing more than a glorified fictional biography of Ken Masters than an actual encyclopedic article about him as a video game character. It doesn't elaborate on his evolution as a second-player version of Ryu to a character in his own right besides a brief paragraph. It doesn't even bother mentioning how he attained the surname Masters. Then again, you can say the same thing about every Street Fighter article, but still. Jonny2x4 21:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Should there be a section for Ken parodies? I can think of a scene in Jackie Chan's City Hunter where apon falling into a Street Fighter 2 arcade machine, Jackie imagines the villain's blonde long-haired henchmen as Ken complete with SF2 theme music. I'm sure for such a recognisable character there are more. Or would this just be wasting space? CSkankRabbit 17:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ken Parodies?

message: Why is this article called "Ken (Street Fighter)" and not "Ken Masters"? I'm pretty sure it's Wikipedia policy to have the person's full name as the article name if it's known, and also to try to avoid names with brackets in them.  ---SilentRAGE! 12:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: why this power satu no hadou has not meant with ken yet?
*Neither Ryu nor Ken were trained to use it.  Ryu was naturally gifted with it. JuJube 01:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking realistically, "satsui no hadou" basically means the "surge of killing intent", and essentially stems from a belief that a fighter is only truly tapping into his abilities when he doesn't restrain himself from killing his opponent. It's sort of developed a mythology in the SF universe over the years, and has almost become some kind of mystical or spiritual force, I suppose, but, I digress. More or less, Ryu's fighting spirit and urge to win took over, and his "satsui no hadou" was awakened, turning him into a sort of enraged warrior without any sort of limitations holding back his abilities. One could probably simply assume that Ken's not willing to resort to murder in order to win a fight, while deep down, a part of Ryu is (or at least, was).

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Ken Masters's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
