{{quote|Bring it on!|Ken Masters|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Ken Masters''' is one of the central characters of [[Capcom]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter (video game)|Street Fighter]]'' series. He is the best friend and rival to [[Ryu]], and uses improved Shoryuken ki techniques to fight. He has made crossover appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

==History==
===Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!===
The German [[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]] magazine published a 1992 comic titled [[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]], which features various characters from the ''Street Fighter'' series. Among the characters [[Mario]] meets in the comic are {{wikia|streetfighter|E. Honda}}, [[Dhalsim]], [[Chun-Li]], [[Blanka]], and Ken.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Ken makes his first appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', obtained upon downloading Ryu.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Ken (SSBU)}}
Ken appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', as an unlockable character and an Echo Fighter to Ryu. He shares many similarities to Ryu, though he has multiple gameplay differences, including multiple entirely different moves (e.g. side smash attack, neutral air attack, up air attack, Final Smash etc.), and he moves slightly faster. His Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku can hit multiple times unlike Ryu's variants, and his Hadoken is shaped differently while also having a graphic of his hands displayed within. Additionally, he can perform two unique command-input moves that Ryu cannot perform, though Ken cannot perform the Shakunetsu Hadoken. He shares his debut trailer with [[Incineroar]]. In said trailer, Ken, on the [[Boxing Ring]] stage, successfully KOs [[Little Mac]], before being knocked out himself by Incineroar.

====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]:''' Whoa! It's Ken!
*'''[[Palutena]]:''' He's the son of the Masters family and a U.S. martial arts tournament champion.
*'''Pit:''' I heard he's filthy rich!
*'''Palutena:''' Really, Pit?
*'''[[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Viridi]]:''' Sounds like someone needs to up their angel's allowance.
*'''Palutena:''' Back to Ken - he's energetic, cheerful, and boisterous. Pretty much the opposite of Ryu, who has a much more serious personality.
*'''Pit:''' Uh...Why are their attacks so similar then?
*'''Palutena:''' Ken and Ryu are friends that trained in the same fighting style.
*'''Palutena:''' It's a martial art close to Karate that originates from Ansatsuken. They're known to use Hado as well.
*'''Pit:''' You know, Ken doesn't seem like such a bad guy.
*'''Palutena:''' Let's just hope he doesn't give in to the Dark Hado.
*'''Palutena:''' OK, gossip time! Did you know Ken's wife Eliza is also Julia's sister, and Julia is married to Guile?
*'''Pit:''' What?! So Ken is Guile's brother-in-law?!

===amiibo===
*''Originally from the Street Fighter™ series, Ken joined the Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate game as Ryu's Echo Fighter! Their differences are carried over from the original game: Ken's Hadoken is shaped differently, his strong Shoryuken has flames, and he moves a bit faster. He has two final smashes: Shinryuken and Shippu Jinraikyaku.''
