Ken appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', as an unlockable character and an Echo Fighter to Ryu. He shares many similarities to Ryu, including many of the same attacks and attributes - but he has some various differences reflecting his appearance in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'', having multiple different moves (e.g. side smash attack, neutral air attack, up air attack, Final Smash), and slightly faster walking and running speed. His Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku can hit multiple times unlike Ryu's variants, and his Hadoken travels slower and has less power. 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.

PAL: Ken has been Ryu's number one rival and best friend since they trained together as children under the same master. The head band Ryu wears was a gift from Ken. Heir to his rich father's Masters Foundation, Ken is a highly skilled martial artist, but eventually goes home and becomes a family man with his wife Eliza and their son, Mel.

Palutena's Guidance (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)

  • 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?
  • 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?!
